School Story:
Things are a bit overwhelming right now, as we fend off debtors, struggle to find new sources of income after losing our only client, a start-up focused on families in crisis. That was keeping us afloat since 2022, but came to an unexpected halt earlier this year. Lived on rapidly dwindling savings until October, when we hit bottom, scary, and embarrassing for a Palo Alto boy. But I’m a “creative,” and we tend to suck at finances. I had a bad fall on October 15, due to a mix of too many blood pressure pills and some anti-anxiety and sleeping pill. Usually not a problem because I’lm sound asleep, but I jumped out of bed to go yell at a guy running a chain saw at 3 am, passed out and fell through several pieces of furniture and landed on my face, hard, like a linebacker with no helmet. Julian took me to the ER, diagnosed as a mild concussion. They checked me in for several days with wicked beaches and. Dry wobbly. Face was a mess, and I continue to have balance problems and headaches. Not as serious as Mike Murphy but bad. Meanwhile, we’re being sucked into the black hole of abject poverty. Out beloved cat Emma is also very sick, and Julian started a GoFundMe to help us with the astronomical vet bills, which we can’t afford. If you’re feeling generous, please chip in:
