me too... I'm definitely not surprised that the airline has folded, I was just hoping to squeeze this one last visit in. I'd already decided this would be our last trip on Skybus.
Marco: Do we look reasonable to you? Mal: Well. Looks can be deceiving. Jayne: Not as deceiving as a low down dirty... deceiver.

Wow. Isn't that like the third airline to fold this week? Crazy.

Our wings are not tired
Speaking of airlines guess where I am? That right, sitting on my United flight to Orlando waisting for the doors to close so I can head back to the happy fun boat.

Fuck cancer.
Just talked to my mom. The hole in her hip where they'd found some secondary cancer or the cancer was eating the bone or something is larger (if this doesn't make sense, it's because I'm getting it filtered through my mom), and there's now some cancer in her remaining lung. They did an MRI on her brain to see if there's anything there, but she hasn't heard the results from that yet.
They're going to be giving her something called Alimta that's the chemo given when the first round of chemo for this type of cancer doesn't work.
And that's all I know for now. I wish I could get on the phone with her doctors and ask all the questions I'd ask if it were me.

Well, I can't believe that there aren't laws that say that the work + benefits that you agreed to when you started can't be jerked away from you without notice. Isn't employment some sort of contract?

The status is NOT quo.
Oh Susan, I'm so sorry.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I am sorry, Susan. I understand wanting to ask the questions yourself--it's so frustrating to get a filtered version of such vital news. My best to you and your Mom.

As of now, Mom is planning to fly out to California with Georgia Brother and his wife to visit ExArmy Brother and his family the first week of May. I just checked Southwest, and it looks like I can get a round trip to Sacramento for under $200. I can't imagine work would raise any objections to my taking off (one of the undoubted pluses of working with hospital chaplains), and I have the money, so I think I should go. I'll just wait till Monday to buy the ticket so I can talk to work and make sure ExArmy Brother doesn't mind another relative showing up at his house.

Aww, that's awful about your mom, Susan. But definitely sounds like a good plan to go see her and your brother and all.
I just found out that the ultra budget airline Skybus has folded and therefore we cannot go visit my sister next weekend.
Dang! I was really hoping to get supercheap direct tickets to a thing in Columbus in a few months. Sigh.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
So sorry to hear that, Susan. Much ~ma all around to your family.
