We few...we band of buggered

I'm speaking of the five people on my friends list who didn't think Ats 5.18 was the cat's pajamas and were just a little disturbed by the message at the end. I think it's five, may be less. Not sure.

Sigh. Bad day. Very bad day. Getting worse. It's past one and I should sleep, instead I keep writing and deleting posts.

Got some bad news tonight about my sister-in-law who just had the baby. She's in dreadful pain. Slipped disc and severe back contusion from her labor, which have made it impossible for her to care for her new baby. I'm terribly worried about her.
She's such a sweet person and so does not deserve this. And there's nothing I can do to help. My brother is keeping everyone but close friends away at this point - due to her fragile emotional state. (Her mother is not helping her, they had to throw her out). The whole situation makes me cry.
All my other problems, of which there are many, seem silly in comparison. There is nothing worse than wanting to help and being unable to.

So sorry your sister-in-law isn't feeling great. I feel down some stairs 3 days after I brought the Graffiti monster home and bruised my tailbone - it sucked! I was in serious pain for a month, and getting better but still pretty bad pain for 6 months and that's not a fun place to be with an infant. But the good news is I still remember how cute and little he was, so I was still able to enjoy him, and somehow both the creature and I did manage to survive. I know you feel bad not being able to help, but the truth is the only person who can really help is your brother and it sounds like he's doing fine.

I have an opening you should check out. I don't have your e-mail so I'm posting it here, but if you want to send me your address I'll send you other stuff that way. My e-mail is mcdarbs@citlink.net

But unfortunately too specialized in computer systems. I can navigate a database that was created by a programmer, but I don't have a computer background or programming knowledge. (To give you an idea - I'm still struggling with basic livejournal html.)
