Oh, wait, wait I get it! It's a metaphor!
BWAH!
So my Subaru is in the shop, Juliana. Oil leaking onto spark plugs, among other things. They're trying to get it to me by 3:30 so that I can pick up Daisy Jane, but if they don't, I guess plan B involves BART for Daisy and staying home tonight for myself.
I am supremely cranky about this.

Oh no! Okay, so do you want to call her cell and leave her a message when you know? Do you want to call me & call her? Let me know.
I'll call her once I hear from the mechanic - that way I can leave a message with certainty rather than guesswork.
What kind of mother says something vague and confusing about being "asleep" (which, in retrospect, was probably a groggified "sick") since Friday after you note that she still sounds sleepy after waking from her nap, reminds you that you're supposed to give your old computer to your grandparents posthaste because they've moved into their new house and just go this weekend it's not like you ever have any goddamn plans of your own, and then says, "Your mother's been sick since Friday and you can't even say anything," before IMMEDIATELY HANGING UP?
Oh, right. Mine.
I suppose I should have mentioned this sooner, S is home now, and seemingly okay. They released her last night on the condition she come into the outpatient lab this morning for another blood draw to make sure she's stable. The doctor would then call us with the results.
As the doctor has not yet called us to urge us to rush back in to the hospital, we're going to take that as a good sign.
Continued ~ma for S. I'm glad she is home.
