My mother's last sister is back in the hospital. Her daughter sent me a Facebook message.

damn

Yeah. Apparently it's not looking great.

And today was my other aunt's funeral.

So...December's looking great this year.

Oh god I'm so sorry

I'm so so sorry, that's awful to deal with at any time, but especially during the holidays if they're important to you

Oh no. I'm so sorry. That's so much to deal with

On top of the immigration stuff, it's...not great, no.

So sorry this is piling up on you. If there's anything we can do to help you cope...

Sadly, the only thing that might help at the moment is somebody in the government that can make sure I don't get thrown out of the country right now.

Am I catastophizing? Might be. Shit is a lot right now.

I am also very tired. I had a LOT of trouble getting to sleep last night.

But I did hear back from the GP's office and they can print out a thing that says I've been signed on with them since 2006.

That’s so much. I’m so sorry for you and your family- may her memory be a blessing

Same for you, Prime.

Oh fuck. Okay, good news, I think.

I messaged my cousin to give her my mobile number if she wanted to Whatsapp me, since I'm bad at Facebook.

Apparently, the doctors have told them that my auntie has a UTI. Which I know can hit lie a mack truck when you're already not doing great.

Oof. Those can be nasty beasts but hopefully they can clear it up soon.

Yeah. But it's also WAY more treatable than we were worried about.

yes it is

Hopefully, between knowing it's not as bad as we thought and having most of this immigration shit squared away? I should sleep better tonight.

At least, as squared away as we can.

ouch. that's a terrible fright, I hope they can treat it without too much more trouble!
