Hi. I am officially a Bay Area-ista now.

Kerrie's brother came in on his own late Saturday night/Sunday morning. Thanks for the -ma you all provided. A little more as his family tries to help him get straightened out would also be appreciated.
I'm going out of town for two and a half days and will probably be incommunicado during that time. Just in case it was salient...
...so tomorrow I'm going to approach my boss to try to get time off for the F2F. I've been putting this off and putting it off because I am a Big Fat Stinkin' Coward.
All your -ma would be much appreciated, for a limited time, to try to wring a YES out of the employers. (I'm trying to get 7 days off work, unpaid, obviously, and I'm being honest about why. Which means they can just say No if they want to. And I don't know what I'll do if they say No, because I'm damned if I'm going to miss this...)
Please vibe me good vibes, lovely people.
Matt's mom was back in the hospital yesterday. at this point, I don't really know anything. Wishing her a lot of health ma~~.
It looks like I'm going to be dark grey for a while. I expected it when I head out of town for work in early May, but it looks like the prep work for the trip is making me darker grey than the trip likely itself likely will. Also, I'm doing some things at work and home that are good and exciting but not within my comfort level (cold calls - eek!), so some not-to-much-adrenaline-so-my-life-doesn't-give-me-a-heart-attack ~ma would would be greatly appreciated.
