My uncle is in ICU, not really responding, and they have no fucking clue what's wrong. And I'm about to completely lose it. He's got three grandbabbies on the way (to make an even dozen).

And, I really don't want to make this about me, but I cannot deal with another crisis right now. I feel like I have been in crisis mode for months. I sobbed the whole way home from work, after getting the email.

Any ~ma towards Alabama would be greatly appreciated.

(((((vw)))))

Lots of ~ma, vw.

I'm trying to think through my options wrt job offers. There are way too many maybes right now. (Basically, the issue is how to respond to a offer of a job that sounds OK but not great, if I'm pretty sure but not positive that I can find something that I'll like better.)

I'm going to get my new ankle brace fitted tomorrow. I hope it will help.

Oh, vw, how awful. Keeping my fingers crossed that they can figure it out and make it better, fast.

Note to self: productive=happy. Not productive=effig miz. Pls to remember.

I'm sorry, vw. I hope they find out what the problem is and how to fix it quickly.

{{{vw}}}

Vibing big-time towards Alabama. Hope they discover the problem and can start fixing it soon.

VW, health~ma to AL, and ((())) for you.

Hil, job decision~ma to you.

Pix, brackets for you too. ((( ))))

ION for those looking for a travel update. It will be delayed tonight. Only hotel for miles was Route 66 Hotel & Casino. They are forcing me to eat a prime rib dinner. Then we will see how long $40 will last at the tables. Wish me luck!

eta: and I changed time zones, so I can play an hour later! Prime Rib was yummy.

Good thoughts to you and good health to your uncle, vw.

WHAT is the woman behind her wearing?

While the whole outfit is fugly, it's the leggings that really put it over the top.

Also? I need to finish my grading. Can anyone help me find my motivation?
