Not writing much for a bit -- dealing with power-outage-induced filesystem damage (I have nine too few UPS units). Some news on housing front, but net result is that I'm still in Limbo. Week has been up-and-down pain-wise. Some ups and downs emotionally too, and I think I managed to seriously piss off a friend a few nights ago by not cutting hir[1] enough slack when sie[2] pissed me off -- sie's been under a lot of stress lately and took part of it out on me, and I tried to account for that but had been dealing with my own stresses that day and may have been a little more stern with hir about my not liking what sie'd done than may have been conducive to effective communication on the subject.
[1] "hir" = "him or her" -- also "his or her", but in this case it's the accusative rather than the possessive. Used here because I don't feel like giving out any more information than is needed to get across the "this is how my week went" aspect of the story.
[2] "sie" = "he or she". I didn't invent these gender-neutral pronouns; they're pretty well known within various communities and subcultures, but rare enough in the English-speaking world at large that I figured I'd best footnote 'em.
