your body is distracting you. your body is reducing you to the small things; shitting, breathing, puking, eating, head-bonking. things that on a regular day you would not meditate too deeply on. your physicality is saying to you, “don’t forget me. i’m here. you are real.”
jesus christ on a pogo stick. when did i become so woo? it’s sad, really.
so yes, concentrate on yourself. get in touch with your maternal instincts and mother yourself, which i am certain you are already doing and beautifully too.

At least you’ve still got two good legs to kick a pig, if you were so inclined!

Sorry to hear about the pain. I’m writing because Mikey emailed me about housing advice in LA for you. I sent him so info but it bounced back… twice.
So assuming you didn’t get it, and assuming you’re not already in a place, and assuming your friends haven’t already steered you towards all this already here’s my advice.
I suggest forking over the $60 (or find someone who still has an active password) for West Side Rentals. I think the best stuff is word of mouth or maybe on Craig’s List (but be prepared to check in many times an hour to be the first to call new posts), but West Side Rental has hundreds of apartments in every neighborhood at market value and the website tells you exactly what you get. So you can find, say, a pet friendly two bedroom apartment with free parking and AC in Eagle Rock. Well worth it. You can also just drive around looking for for rent signs. They are everywhere. The key is deciding where you want to live. It’s so vast you really need to pick a few neighborhoods and restrict your search. My advice is Echo Park, Silver Lake, or Los Feliz. That’s more or less where the hipsters live. We choose Los Feliz because you can walk to the subway. And it borders Hollywood. You’re money goes a lot farther in Koreatown, but it’s 15 minutes to visit your friends in Echo Park, Silver Lake and Los Feliz.
Two other weird things. You almost always have to sign a one year lease, so if this is problem West Side is a must (you can search for no lease). And stoves and refrigerators aren’t always in the picture. Unless you want to haul one to your new place (Craig’s list is full of them for cheap) ask when you’re making the phone apointment. I found that one out the hard way. Repeatedly.

Dear r,
So very sorry to hear of your awful time. I do sincerely hope you are feeling better and I really enjoyed the Lonesome Dove reference. Hang in there sister.

r, I am sorry to hear about this, from the bottom of my own guts. Just tell me who did this to you, and I will do things to them with my bare hands that only a mountain lion knows how to do.
Baby, you hang in there!
(a nice mom thing to say)
