The machine part exploded--sending coffee grinds everywhere, and making it impossible for the coffee to brew.

You're just lucky you weren't there when it happened, as you could have had coffee shrapnel embedded in your body. Or maybe that would have been a good thing....

No, my machine had a crap hinge on the basket. It lived on my counter far longer than it deserved.

Thanks for the well-wishes, all. Ellie's upstairs sleeping and getting better, I hope.

I was thinking a lot about Sean as I was trying to get her medicine down her throat this morning, but thankfully, she can (sort of) be reasoned with.

Get better soon Ellie. Your mom needs a break from worrying.

Poor vw, cleaning before coffee is harsh.

{{Ellie and mom}} I'm sorry she isn't feeling well. I hope she wakes up happy and all better as kids so often do.

I hope Ellie is feeling better soon.

Poor little critter, and her poor mom! Thinking healing and soothing thoughts for both of you.

Poor Ellie, sending healing~ma her way.

I'm so excited! I made a suggestion at work and it was presented to the Director and he liked it, so we're going ahead with this. So cool.

Matilda has a doctor's appt today so Nana and I will take her. There will be shots. There will be big round tears.

I can't wait to see Fay's one true coif, and goth Cass and goth Queen Jilli.

Hey, Monday, lay off with the sick cutieheads and the exploding coffeemakers!

Thanks for the ~ma for my mom, everyone. I haven't talked to her yet today because she was having a CAT scan. It's just that for years and years, she was in and out of the hospital usually six times a years or more, and when something unexpected happens now it freaks me out. I can always hear it in my dad's voice, too -- when he called yesterday I knew what he was going to say, without having any reason to.

Poor Matilda. Shot days suck. Dope her up with some Tylenol first, if you can. Always worked for my little ones.

I know I'm missing stuff. Must go back and read.
