Oh, Beej, big big vibes to your friend, her mom and mom's companion. I get flinchy every time I read a man-on-the-street article about Katrina -- so many of the people who are worst off, most helpless, most trapped, are the elderly. They're so horribly vulnerable. It just cracks me into pieces.
(And also really, really makes me want to hunt down askye's heartless asshole co-worker and perform a no-anesthesia splenectomy by way of his left nostril.)
(Not that I'm in an emotionally heightened state or anything.)
Fay, that's great news. I'm thrilled for you.
Beej, sending safety~ma towards your friend and her mom.
this is definitely a Moment Of Yay!
This is quite the Moment of YAY!!!!! Such lovely news Fay. I am glad to read it.
I want to hear Emily's news now.
beej, I hope they are okay and just waiting out the storm. My thoughts and prayers are with them.
I have done my dishes (two weeks worth), done some of my laundry (two weeks worth) and taken out the trash (again, two weeks worth). My back is definitely not happy, but I think it is getting to the point where I can slowly slowly do things. It felt like I was using it, as opposed to abusing it and tearing more things.
Tomorrow, we work. Talked to my boss and she's back in a better mood. I hope the mood holds until tomorrow when I am back in the office.
Did they check Aimee's house yet? [link]
Anyone wanna hear another piece of good news?
My best friend from college, whom I haven't seen in almost 7 years, is coming to my wedding. All the way from Seattle. And she's bringing the babies. I'm floored and completely ecstatic. I never expected it.
Stephanie, congrats! That's a big achievement.
Fay, that's great news. I'm very happy you'll still be getting your teaching on.
It's not that big news. It's just, I passed my MTEL. Got a 92 out of 100, with 70 needed to pass. Of course, that was just math. The hard part's going to be the actual teaching.

Even though they cost MORE than an i-Pod, Empress, they are NOT your bride's maid present.
Put 'em back. Right now.
WooT Emily! A 92 is big news!
Yeah, I'm quietly pleased. Thing is, I don't think anyone's going to actually look at my score, beyond saying, "Okay, she passed that. Check." Also, since it was hard to sustain the worry about failing for an entire month, there's not so much tension relieved -- but it's still cool. Yay!
