Death, taxes and data loss befall us all.
My sympathies to you and your machine.

I’m mostly sad about the hardware which I was very pleased with. I’m pretty sure I’m going to buy another one with a small SSD, yank the 512G SSD from the dying one and attempt a swap. Pentalobe screws are not enough to defeat me. But a new cost just after Christmas, and seeing my dear laptop slowly pass into oblivion, that just blows. Probably won’t have 16G of RAM in the new Macbook either, alas. I really liked that breathing room for running PS, Illustrator, Synfig, and a lot more all at once.

Last week my FIL died and today I find out my own father just had a massive stroke but I don’t have many details beyond this. Fucking hell.

Everything’s gone to hell today. I’m sick with a massive sinus infection, I got woken up this morning by a message saying the house we were going to look at today has been rented, our afternoon appointment with a loan officer got cancelled as well, Carrie Fisher died, and there’s crazy in-law drama happening so Mr. Bells is super cranky.
I’m parking my butt right here on the sofa for the rest of the day, this is ridiculous.

The Fort Worth Police Department seems to be having a bad week.
Good thing it’s just a few bad apples and not a systemic problem, otherwise this might be happening all the time… oh wait, it is?
And this database only counts deaths, not injuries or misjustice?
Who woulda thought!?!?

The waiting is torture. Ten years ago my pops had a massive stroke. The doctors were telling us to put him in a nursing home, but mom wouldn’t give up on him. It took him over a year to recover, but he did recover.
From experience I can tell you the bbs helps you escape from those sad little hospital waiting rooms, and the folks here give amazing support when you just have to vent.

Tooth fairy forgot to do it’s job. It’s not even the worst thing that’s happened this week but it’s the only one I had any control over.

…and lean on us if you don’t think you need to. Many of us have “been there”. It’s a crazy thing that happens to all of us but we rarely talk about.
