In the last 7 days I have been in 6 states, attended two separate conventions, did 4 media interviews, ran a funeral and a wake, drove 16 hours, took somebody to the hospital, and cleaned a reality tv level unsafe hoarder home. I also have somebody's remains on my kitchen counter and no idea what to do with them.

No, I'm not okay.

@hacks4pancakes Happy Birthday.

Is there anything we can do to help?

@drwho I would probably ask about side gigs to pay for a burial, but if I try to take them on I'll probably have a breakdown.

@hacks4pancakes @drwho would setting up a GFM be possible? We could crowd source the bill easy

@mensrea @hacks4pancakes @ferrix @drwho What @mensrea said. It doesn't have to be a problem measuring contest. Yes, there are people that may have it worse than you, it doesn't mean you are less deserving of help from friends, especially given how much help you are willing to give others. There's nothing wrong with it going both ways.

@mensrea @hacks4pancakes @ferrix @drwho I have to agree with this. Let your friends help. If you get more than you need, I have no doubt you will find worthy causes for the excess.

In the meantime, I wish you safety, peace, and healing. Be well.
