It's been a long week. I tried to kick off my cold but it stayed around. For days now, I've been talking as if I just smoked sixty years of cigarettes.

Oh, honey. A month and a half. Bloody hell.

Thinking of you. With so much love. From afar. Health and healing and a real place to live, speedily and soon.

Letting people help doesn't negate your fierce independence. You're still standing, under an enormous, unimaginable tide of misfortune, and that's a pretty strong testament to your fierceness.

I hope you get over your cold soon, and that you find some alternative to the main shelter while you wait for your housing.
