If it makes you feel better, the time before the con is just as crazy stressful for me. So you're not alone at least. Seriously, life could just slow down ANY MINUTE NOW. Sleep is a myth at this point.
And you could maybe Google someone that can help about your dad's situation. Like maybe an advocate that can point you in the right direction at least?
I tried the googling and I think I found a state number for victims advocate. Now I just need to find time to call. *keeping fingers crossed that they can help*
:-( Well we can get D*C stuff done, just ya know, it'll be like the robes. But that trim needs to get dyed today for sure. Anything that needs time to set needs to be done today so I can fuck around with it tomorrow. I'm putting off Doctor pants and wig until we're in Atlanta even. And Space Cases shirts I can do in the car or with iron on stuff at the hotel... uh... yeah.
I don't really know what else to say that's helpful right now, hon, so I'm just here offering huge hugs. I'd tell you you could vent all you want to me, but I get the impression you don't have time for much more than what you did here. *huge hugs*
Re: the Dragoncon thread - This post makes it clear you're in a really fucked up spot. Our sympathies.
Ukta states that if you have a moral objection to going to the vendor after her screaming fit about one body artist "competing" with her at an event of 45K people, she will be happy to do some body paint for you (for free), and to comment in her LJ to set up a meeting place/appointment/arrangement whatever.
Hey buddy, Because both of your parents are on disability, there is a program through flma that stops the creditors from taking your father's money. He cannot work to support himself, and until he can, they can't go after him due to that bill.. you have to fill out an application and such, but it works, because my grandmother had to go through the same sort of thing with my grandfather and uncle. It is definately likely in this case, because there is soo much money involved, and there is no way for your mother to pay it back. I hope that helped?

Hopefully that'll turn out well for you. You could use a little help and break.
