The dog's getting better. Looks like osteoarthritis and a kidney problem that can be fixed with dietary changes and medicine. Which he's getting. He also has heartworm. We are still trying to decide how to proceed with that one.

Car's fixed.

I'm getting fixed. We're getting fixed.

A friend recently complained that I'm being too cryptic in public. Sorry. This has been incredibly draining. In a good way, but still. It's going to be okay. Been sleeping a lot, and eating. Watershed week and all that. Humiliating, humbling, life-affirming.

Still sober.

I'm busy writing a lot of thank-you notes and making some phone calls, and talking to new friends. If you haven't heard from me, you probably will soon. I need to be online. The friends I make here mean as much to me as friends I make any other way.

Am closing off comments and trackbacks on this, but if you haven't heard from me, you will.

Thank you again.
