six and a half months

That's my new personal record between brain episodes.

I should be happy about that, I guess?

It's hard to celebrate a record though when it's just long enough to give you the illusion that maybe, maybe they are gone. It was abnormally long and abnormally mild. 5 or six hours of barely slurring my words and forgetting the day and time every few minutes.

I feel shitty that I am relieved to find out I definitely don't know anyone who was in the Oakland fire. I am still waiting to hear more about the Gatlinburg fire. There is not supposed to be fire in Tennessee, that is where my friends literally throw gasoline on their backyard bonfire while smoking cigarettes just to make this Californian uncomfortable. My heart hurts. Several people close to me in the hospital this week. Brandy and I are both cancer free for the time being (yay!) and yet I am feeling our mortality and feeling helpless so much right now.
