Apparently after a stroke it is normal to have your emotions all over the fucking place.
Like when I was pregnant, one minute I am OK and the next I am either a blubbering mess or white hot blood boiling insanely fucking outraged.
So yeah, maybe I am not the best judge of character right now.
But.
I can’t ignore the fact that those ‘closest’ to me are no where to be seen.
No offer of help and refusal when approached.
The fact that I haven’t got so much as a ‘hey you OK?’ phone call, let alone card from my work speaks volumes.
I have these beautiful flowers from Karen
They sit right in my line of view from my sleeping chair and I see them after my nanna naps
And then because of the mind blowing awesomeness of Shae, Liz, Kate, Kate, Amanda and Marita I am going to Blogopolis in July because THEY BOUGHT ME A TICKET after I made an off handed comment about wanting to go on Twitter.
And then they sent me gift cards to pay for easy meals. Are you fucking kidding me?!?!
I am speechless.
Then I come home from the hour round trip picking Boo up from his specialist school to a parcel from the three L’s (Leigh, Laura and Liz) full of MOTHERFUCKING MAX BRENNER CHOCOLATE OMG OMG OMG
and the card… how fitting.
Glowless sent me a beautiful letter that made me laugh like a loon and this.
Fucking hilarious.
Suzie sent me a beautiful card, a magazine and peppermint crisp. OMG YUM!
Blossom sent me nail polish which made me giggle cause I know how obsessed with them she is,
I fucking love all these girls more than my shoes.
Even my green snakeskin ones.
Uh huh… that fucking much.
Text messages and emails to see if I am OK.
Offers to drive here and cook for me or to just keep me company (I am pretty sure a couple of them were hoping that I would fall asleep so they could steal my shoes…)
Little wrist slaps on Twitter and Facebook if I am not resting enough.
These are all from the people that live inside my MacBook.
Those that surround me in real life…
Crickets.
Not a word.
I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised. I tell them I am fine, that things are fine, I am doing FINE.
But at least my friends in this little white box truly understand what fine is and brighten my day.
The internet really is a unicorn shitting rainbows.
{yeah, I know this post is all over the place but I am truly overwhelmed and humbled by the gifts and kind words from so many of you. Thankyou so very much, it means the world to me that you care enough to think of me. Fuck, I need to go and find something to outrage me cause this soppy shit does not suit me at all…}

You are more awesome than any Unicorn shitting Rainbows

“Red and yellow and pink and green,
Purple and orange and bluuuue,
You can shit a rainbow,
Shit a rainbow,
Shit a rainbow too.”
Is what I’m singing now, and it’s all your fault. But as long as you are happy.
People are awesome. The bloggy people especially.

You rock. That’s why we all care about you so much.
Mwah!
Fuck It! What the Fuck did I miss? Where the fuck have I been? Stroke? I’m gonna have to read back….
I would have sent stuff, but I don’t have your address….
Are you getting lots of rest? De-stressing?
I love all the gifts your amazing friends have sent you!
Cards for easy meals=no cooking!! Yay!!
My internet friends have been amazingly supportive for me lately too. I love them all.
Glad you liked them xxx Your presents are fantastic!
So now you just need to rest up and let your body recover!! Glad you liked your pressies xx
I’m glad that the interwebs is looking after you. It is full of awesomeness isn’t it
I don’t know those that are in your proximity aren’t though!
Those girls are all so gorgeous.
xx
Take care
The internet is forever… and it’s farking awesome
)
PS go and have a bloody nap, woman!
Bloggy people rock! I am glad you have such lovely friends to help cheer you up when you are down.
The “Fuck” card is so you and seriously “a unicorn shitting rainbows” BEST LINE EVER!
When I had S 2 months early it was a lot of the online community (or friends I at least met originally online through forums here in Japan and via blogging) that all came together and rocked my world with kindness, offers of help and presents. People truly are amazing!
Take it easy Kelley!
If your work is so loving and caring, remember to use all your rights and conditions to the full. Thank goodness for real friends!
I’m so glad to hear your internet peeps are there for you, making you laugh and keeping you in line. The interwebs truly rock, even if they really are 45-year old men typing in their mother’s basement. (according to my husband *g*)
Never mind the unicorns, if I had the roubles I would get you one of these!

Actually, i was thinking of sending you racy pictures of myself in my underwear, taken with my phone, but some shithead Congressman named Weiner (pronounced wee ner) (really) beat me to the Originality Punch so I felt all violated and stuff and I couldn’t bring myself to do it – I mean, who wants to be second, right?
And, after all, you DO deserve originality. At least that. xoxoxo
((hugs))
email me your address and i’ll make your day.
It is AMAZING isn’t it? People make fun of online friends, but, seriously, I have had people on the internet hold me up more than anyone. I am so glad you are getting so much love. You absolutely deserve it, because you are the best. You know this, but I’m going to say it again: You have all of my love!
So glad you’ve got some awesome biatches taking care of you. You deserve to be pampered.
It’s odd because the nicest thing you can do for all the people who love you continents away is letting us know that you have so many good friends there to help you. Right now. When you need it.
Take care, honey.
Glad it brightened your day
I use the ‘Italian Job’ way of thinking when it comes to being F.I.N.E.
F-reaked out
I-nsecure
N-eurotic
E-motional
Spot on!!
My bloggy friends are much better than my real life ones. That’s for sure.
Enjoy the swag!
I am smiling for you! That warms my heart.
My internet friends are there for me more than my IRL family and friends as well.
We love you Kelley and I’m glad you know that!
Oh sweetie. I loves ya and would send you shoes if I had your address. And chocolate…well, maybe not, it’d melt before it got to you. So then I’d just eat it in your honor. How about shoes and a hot dude to slide them on your feet?
U R Fucking awesome
love you, girl
Holy crap woman, I had no idea things were quite so fucked up with your brain. You don’t deserve this shit, but you DO deserve all those awesome gifts. And I’m so glad you’ll be coming to Melbourne too. So rest up, (hide the shoes), and get those tatts ready. And if you need anything, you have my email addy, right?
There are good people living in our computers, but they really only come out to surround other good people.
