Talking to Lisa for an hour was wonderful. Turns out she had just as bad a weekend as I did, if for different reasons. (Lost her ATM card, one of her housemates hurt her leg yesterday and had an allergic reaction to something at the hospital, the whole works.)

Spent the first ten minutes trading stories and being there for each other. And as corny as it sounds, when she told me that she'd been so afraid for Paulette and wanted to have me there to hold her until she finally got home at 3am her time (almost exactly when I finally got to sleep), well....I think I know why I couldn't sleep last night, now.

Cheered her up with some funny local stories, including one I'll include here: A Marc's discount purchased a crate of 'ceramic figurines' down in Miami at a US customs auction. (Marc's is a chain at least in NE Ohio. Anywhere else, I've no idea). But one of the figures fell out and cracked...and they found human bone inside. Sent it and the rest to the police for X-rays...

And each and every trinket contained a human skull.

Neat, huh?

We also talked about jobs, politics, things from when I was there, friends, things we wanted to do, and the CSI furry episode, leading to many more evil jokes that made her laugh.

And honestly? I think making her laugh made my entire week better.

Isn't this kind of an old story? I recall it from News of the Weird. And Marc's (nee Bernie Shulman's in my area) is localized to northern Ohio.

If it's old, then it happened again. The story I told her was on the 5 o'clock news on channel 5.
