we just got back from nyc

{for nye}

and as usual, had an amazing time.

photos to come once i get them edited.

unfortunately, i came home to a hot wreck:

ellie girl is hospitalized for advanced kidney disease.

we knew this was coming

(you may recall that we found out she was sick a few months ago),

but that doesn't make it easier.


it's wrenching to watch a loved one suffer.

i get to bring her home tonight, thankfully.

and try to make her life as good as possible

for as long as possible.

and in the midst, i have to try to get back to normal life...
 work. school. meals beyond bagels and pizza.

but between medical drama and not feeling too hot myself,

this place is a mess.

and i'm starting to look like one of those celebs who gets caught wearing no makeup

and lands herself on the cover of US weekly.

veryverynotgood.

[nevermind that i'll never look like miss katie

even with makeup on.]
