My grandpa died last night. He's been in the hospital since before I left for school, but... still.
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Second interview went well, pretty sure they're gonna make me a job offer this week.
On the other hand, doc wants my father to get a pacemaker 'cause his heart ain't doing so good.

Will be varying shades of grey for the next two weeks as I'm out on my great Northeast trip. Looking forward to seeing many of you as I journey. I'm sitting in the airport now waiting on my flight to depart!

Another social casualty...
Hi. I'm in Florida and back online. The move went well. The kitties are recovering. We still have rooms full of boxes to unpack. And I'm looking for a job. At least I'll have some time to catch up.
(And I'm sending hope-you-got-through-the storm-ma to Lisa H. and the other Baltimore and Mid-Atlantic-istas.)
