> It's a tough situation all around. Is there something specific preventing you from calling her? It would probably be nice if you could.

No, not really, I could call her, but I'd have to dig up her number, which I don't know whether or not I have anymore, and then awkwardly strike up a conversation about stuff that's going on here, which she has no idea about, or things going on there, which I have no idea about. It's always, "How are things in Kansas?" "I'm still poor and working a dead-end job. How are things in Florida?" "Well, I didn't die from heatstroke again while mowing the lawn, and my parents still suck." "Okay, bye." I mean, there's not even anything worth talking about anymore, really. I'm not trying to be mean to my sister or anything, but that's just how it is.

> I will say a prayer for Cloey.

I would definitely appreciate that, though. On the upside, I'm happier today! ;-)
