In the midst of hell, two positive things happened today:

1) I started a temporary position with a friend's agency where I'll be doing transcription work. It's pretty easy for me as I love to type and I'm pretty fast at it. So I do now have something of an income at least.

2) My sister asked my soon-to-be-10yo niece what she wanted most for her upcoming birthday. She said she wanted to visit her "Uncle Reese" in San Francisco. Ahh... I'm more fun than toys.
