PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT – via daniela

as most of you know, i am a case manager for homeless folks with aids. yesterday, the mother of a client of mine passed away. her funeral is in philadelphia tomorrow. i have called every agency, every airline – the best they can offer me is a slightly reduced rate (still around $400). all san francisco agencies are tapped out. if ANYONE out there has frequent flier miles which they do not plan on using, and are willing to donate them to get a man home to bury his mother.. please contact me as soon as possible. reply to this message – i’ll keep my e-mail open.

please pass this message on in your own journals if you can. i have GOT to make this happen.

Please contact her via her journal, here.(added last minute as I polished off this entry)

Got my times mixed up for Doctor today… I swung by there at 10:45 for my 11am appointment, and it turns out it was at 1pm. MY physical therapy is at 1:30p, so I went downstairs to PT, and the woman there was enthusiastic about having me work right then, as she had a cancellation, and wanted to head out today by 2pm if she could (taking her daughter to the orthodontist). I didn’t do traction today, but the workout with heat and stim worked nicely.

It seems my original PT guy quit to go work in Brazil for a private individual. My mind stereotypes, and wonder if it’s a big crime leader or something.

Went to the doctor, and I’ve got to stay on physical therapy, and may end up going to get another epidural done. Two weeks and time will tell.

In the office a kid was playing with *MICRONAUTS* today… the time-traveler one. My gosh, they’re so small! Either they re-released them with different, smaller molds, or I really have gotten a lot bigger since I was 8. (The latter is more likely.) Only about 3 1/2 inches tall. On the way home I noticed the lizards are out in force… I had one hop on my crutch and ride across the street with me, a brown anole with a red throat and a really pretty speckled back in browns and yellows.. Many small ones were out and about, so I suspect a hatching season has kicked in. My rider was bigger, and pretty well fed…I made sure that he got off before entering the Newton-Zone, however.
Lizard!
