I’m here! In Atlanta, and have officially started work. I drove up here on Sunday which was an uneventful trip. Zeke (my fish) came with me, but I didn’t bring much else. I am staying at my uncle’s condo in Buckhead/Midtown (for those of you who know Atlanta) which means about 30-45 min to work.

It’s my last night in Orlando. I am standing in my empty room, looking around and realizing how not ready I am to leave. I have been half-packing all this week, and I still feel like my things are sitting around in little piles all over the house. My 2L roomies came last Wednesday and left tonight.

A feeding tube simply makes it easier for them to give her nourishment. She swallows all the food and water herself. It’s not a medical device if they can give her food and water without the feeding tube and have her continue to live. If it wasn’t possible for her to…
I am referring to the Terri Schiavo case. I have been following it quite closely recently, and the whole situation makes me quite sad. I think it would be awful to starve to death. What would be worse would be to starve to death while those who want me to live are powerless to save me. Such is the case of Terri Schiavo – her husband and legal guardian, Michael Schiavo, wants her dead, claiming that “it’s what Terri wants”….
