Wow - I fell asleep on the couch and woke up to my phone vibrating from a text message. I tried to fish my phone out of my pocket, but my hand was DEAD asleep. My sleep clogged brain couldn't figure out why my hand was having problems. I'm so glad no one was in the room as I must have been a sight.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I set my Tivo to record 15 minutes extra, and completely MISSED the second OT!! That'll teach me not to watch live.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
That was some exciting finish. I had become involved in other stuff and just made it to the tv with 7 minutes left of the 2nd OT. And WoW I say.
Uh-huh. We were all prepared for it to go to penalty kicks, which would have meant a Germany win, and then KER-POW! And again! And much yelling and carrying on and shutting down of the streets in celebration! The party's still going on. Whee!

What is even happening?
My m-i-l had a stroke at the family cookout, today. We're home now. Fireworks? Just not that interesting, tonight.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Oh no, Cindy. How is she?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Oh, Cindy, that's dreadful. How is she?

I think it was pretty mild. I'd known she'd been unsteady and not feeling well. One time (before it was clear anything was wrong) I got a look at her face, and my immediate thought was stroke, because she looked simple, suddenly. But then she was talking (in ways appropriate to the conversation) and laughing and so I figured I was overreacting.
Ten minutes later, Scott and f-i-l were walking her across the yard to the car, but she didn't want anyone to know what was going on. She had complained of numbness on one side earlier I guess (I didn't know that at the time) and once when she was reaching to the side to get her purse on the ground, she just sort of slumped there, and didn't get up. That was before we arrived, and we didn't hear that 'til after she left for the hospital.
They've found evidence of what they think are past TIAs (mild strokes), and suspect that's what's going on this time too, but the CAT scan didn't show anything. She has to have more tests and will be in the hospital at least for a couple of days. The s-i-l that accompanied her to the hospital said she was way better within an hour of being there, and could answer all the questions except for who was president (I say she's blocking that out).
