A little on edge here. Brendon's brother went to the hosptial this morning. He is still in the ER but they have admitted him and he'll be staying 24-48 or something. His ankle bothered him a bit on Wednesday. He didn't mention it during the festivities yesterday. This morning the ankle was swollen to basketball size and work sent him to the ER. Now he is hugely swollen up to the knee. They are giving him lots of IV anti-biotics and doing bunches of tests. Eeeek. Of course Brendon is with him. He even ran out to buy him a radio to listen to the Heat/Pistons game. Some ~ma would be appreciated.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Laistas! On the off chance that any of you were planning on coming to dinner with Billytea and I in Marina Del Ray, please to not.
8 hours after we left Monterey, we have only made it as far as Aimee's place, where we are taking a breather. We will be having pizza at my place though, so if you want to join us, let me know!

A good friend's mom needs a lot of ~ma right now. Also ~ma for the friend. It's health related and that's all I can say, but she's in a rough place right now.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Grant-ma results part un: Yaaaayyy! Just heard back today from our first (and major) foundation -- they've granted our full request amount! This covers damn near everything not already dealt with by individuals, etc. Okay, not everything. But near enough where I can say, yes, we're doing the program next year. Yaaaaayyy!
So thanks, Buffistas for the -ma. Grant-ma part deux we should hear about in January.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Miraclesprog update!
Emma will be out in a couple hours! Or, as MM put it, a "couple L.A. hours," since hours take longer out there.
The Empress is in "station plus one," meaning she is "one hundred percent effaced, fully dilated."
Aims is doing fine now that she's hopped up on drugs.
Emma is totally ready to come out, peoples. Send out the welcome-to-the-world-ma.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
This week we hear whether the show my BF works on is renewed (which means another 6 months of work, a promotion and a raise) or not (which means unemployment). Another Season vibes, please!

A quick Miracleborn update:
Aimee has been trying very very hard, pushing and pushing, and Emeline's head just doesn't want to fit through that opening, so she's been sent in for a C-section.
Emma should be among us shortly.
