Hi everyone. I'm just poking my head in briefly to say a few things...

CONGRATS TO GC and her DW!!! I couldn't be happier for you two. Sorry you have to deal with school the day after the wedding!

Also MANY congrats to askye for her brand new nephew! Woot!

Many hugs to sj. I'm so sorry about TCG's accident. I'm glad to hear he wasn't hurt more seriously, though very sad he has to deal with the aftermath.

Finally, hugs also to Sean. I know...believe me, I know...how much it sucks to feel her pull away. It will suck for awhile, no way to avoid it. Scrappy is wise--you need to let her have the feelings she has, even though those feelings may make you want to beg her to forgive you or try to comfort her or do any number of other things that you just can't do. She will come through this, and so will you. Concentrate on getting through each day right now. Work towards your next step, moving out, as quickly as you can. And most of all? Remember you have friends who love you. We'll be back Sunday (possibly Monday in my case), and you know you are always welcome in our house, whether to escape for a couple of nights or just to have a beer and play board games for an evening. {{{Sean}}}

In meme news, you know that tropical storm that just formed over the Dominican Republic? Fay, I think? Guess where we were today? That's right, Haiti. The other half of the island. The captain claims we're going to be able to skirt most of the storm and beat it as we head back to Miami from now until Sunday morning, but a little no hurricane~ma would be appreciated.

Calm seas to you PixKristin.

NO HURRICANES! I MEAN IT!

And, fuck...ND's mom's caregiver dropped her and broke her ankle so badly that the bone was sticking out. She's being rushed into surgery right now. Drew is on the phone with his sister now.

FUCK. Fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck.

We're at sea all tonight and tomorrow, so we can't get home early. His flight is on Sunday. I'm going to be flying standby Sunday since my flight isn't until Monday morning night now. Please send tons of ~ma to his mom and their family.

All my Mom~ma to you and your family {{{Drew}}} {{{Kristin}}}

Lots ~ma to Drew's mom and family and to Drew and yourself PK.

(Hurricane FAY - is that a go???)

All my Mom~ma to you and your family {{{Drew}}} {{{Kristin}}}

What Laga said. Crappity.

I *was* coming here to post this bit of amusement: [link]

Feel free to come back later and click.

AAAAH! Sorry to hear it, Kristin! All the ~ma in the world for her and you two and everybody.

The thing is, any surgery is hugely risky for her because of her heart condition and the fact she's on major blood-thinning medication. Add that to the fact that no one can even bear to think about how this recovery is going to happen...well, it's a bad situation. I just want Drew and his family to get a little peace. That's all I want. Dammit.
