Unfortunately, there is not NY office. He's at the disaster recovery site which is leased from IBM until they move operations back to Metairie this weekend. The corporate offices are in Ft Lauderdale (temporarily, or so they are saying now) which I'm sure is very nice but not exactly secure from hurricanes.

The theory is that we will go wherever we decide to go and he will work remotely as long as they let him (which may be a while, they've had a guy working remotely from Chicago for 6 months or so already).

The moving will be okay, it's just working out the logistics of it that's a pain. Do I spend a buttload of money on getting me down there to pack stuff up? Are there movers available at all? We'll figure it out, but it's been such a bad six weeks I'm finding this kind of straw and camelback ish.

Kara is impressing me with thinking ahead to the consequences. No squishing because that will make a mess, so sensible.

Damn, -t, I'm so sorry about your house, and sadder now than ever that I missed meeting you at the last F2F when NOLA was truly your home. The universe owes you a good half-decade of no remarkable news at all (unless it's good. Bad news, or even value-neutral but merely remarkable news, completely forbidden, but the universe could, and bloody well ought to, come through with a chunk of the good).

What JZ said because she always seems to say what I'd like to say, if only I could type out my thoughts as well as she can.

{{{{{{{-t}}}}}}}} So glad to see you.

Y'all are making me feel so much better.

At the risk of passing over the event horizon of mememe-ness and imploding - I haven't mentioned the worst part yet. I had another miscarriage last week.

Just had to get that out there because it's taking up 90% of my brain.

t catching up

-t! Oh, I'm very glad to see you.

I am Not It, for either of the dream options. However, this:

actually , I just remembered why we were doing laundry at Jilli's house. A vampire needed to borrow some of Pete's clothes.

made me laugh and laugh and laugh.

Oh, -t, I'm so so sorry. I was hoping so incredibly hard for you.

So very sorry. {{{-t}}}

Oh, -t. {{{{{{{{{{}}}}}}}}}} I am so, so sorry. 'Cause you haven't dealt with enough. Damn.

Oh, -t! {{{{{{{}}}}}}}} There are no words. Let us know if there's anything we can do to help.

I know that you and H were thinking of making a move to CA -- are you still thinking of joining us permanently out here?

Oh, -t. I'm so very sorry.
