all comfort and strength to you and yours.
smiles happily with more than a hint of tired
Thank you. The people here have helped me through a lot of painful and difficult places. There just aren't words, as much as I like to make them up, to descibe how that makes me feel. And so many people here have made happy and wonderful places even better.
And with that mash note to 'fistas, I am off to the other room for few more hours.
My bad. I keep telling you bad or sad things. Often both.
No, baby. Not one bit.
And it is nice to hear it. It’s like the text version of saying it with your hand on my arm to show that you really mean it.
As long as it's not annoying. If it gets annoying, you get free pass, plus extra-credit, and can tell us all to bugger off.
{{Cass}} I am so, so sorry and have been thinking of you and your grandmother. Peace for you all, I hope, soon.
also, {{vw}}. Hope that this is all a scare that will pass quickly with no lingering ill effects.
Note to self: call Grandma today.
My dad goes in for bariatric/gastric bypass surgery today. If anyone has some spare ~ma floating around at about 1pm EST/10am board time today, both he and I would surely appreciate it. Off to his treehouse to touch base and let them know I will be updating them on his surgery and recovery.
I just hope the surgery is successful, in that he survives it with no ill effects, (he has blood clot issues) and that the recovery goes well, in that he doesn't weaken or tear the stirching of the new stomach, and that he is able to lose the weight he needs to. He's morbidly obese and things have been way worse, mobility-wise, since he broke his femur about a year and a half ago.
Anyway. I hope this is a good day for us all.
Peace to your grandmother and your family, Cass. You know we're all thinking about you.

Nora, I hope the surgery goes smoothly and that it turns out to be the answer for him.
I'll be thinking of you, Cass.
Should I go to work today? It's starting to snow pretty hard outside, and it is suppose to be at it's worst when I am going to come home from work. They'll torture me if I cal out because of the sale. Plus, I probably already should have called out.
Nora, I hope your dad's surgery and recovery go smoothly and easily. Health to him, and peace of mind to you and your family.
Ok, Silky Almond Tofu Smoothie? GROSS.
edit: Nora, thoughts to you and your dad and your family.
