I spent all day on hold with phone,

Protecting LilBit. I talk about her, my life is about her. I sang and sucked last night about her. Got emails of why does she need.

At the end of the day,, I’m Koz. I live and love my Democratic life, I adopted LilBit,.

We all love her,,, I’m doing the work.. would like you all to know,,, There’s someone behind the scenes,

I’m tired, I’m beaten down. I spent my day on hold with Fl Medicaid, cuz they can’t put her in right size briefs!!!!

But everything seems so hollow compared with what you have gone through and continue to do. Please know that I honor your love and service to another human being. Thank you for reminding me of what love looks like.

You have been working hard for such a long time. And the phone marathons are maddening.

I once had an epic fight to get saline syringes for my mother, a routine but vital appliance. With my supply running out, the order kept being shuffled through different medical supply offices and lost. Finally got the hospice to help in fast tracking a temporary supply. I was so happy when it was delivered - just in time! Then I opened the box. It contained not 14 syringes, but 14 large bottles of fish oil capsules. To her credit, the head hospice nurse then ran around to the local hospital, found me two syringes and delivered them personally to get us through the next day.

Three years later, I’m almost out of fish oil.

I was glad to hear about your singing. I hope there was some fun in it for you.

Hang in there.
