All good thoughts to lisah and Bob for the best possible outcomes with the least amount of unpleasantness possible.
And some relief and continued good thoughts to Bobby, Laura and the rest of the family.
Seska, I'm very glad your girl exists and wish her well in her endeavors--as I do you, of course.
Barb, sorry about the computer.
Continued good thoughts to Teppy.
In me-oriented news, I just had an amazing basic bacon, eggs, and toast brunch, with lemon curd for the toast. Nom. One savors one's pleasures in the moment; the next moment is a tossup.
Lisah, much love to you and Bob. How terrifying for you both. I am thinking about you and sending health~ma his way.
I just read about lisah and bob. Oh, so much -ma. That is scary as hell, and I am thinking really good thoughts for both of y'all now.
Aw, lisah-- so much ~ma for you and bob.
Epic, insent (as I can't find you on FB!)
Erin, added.
Very many thoughts and much ~ma to lisah and bob.
Much ~ma to Bob and lisah.
Oh shit, lisah, I'm very sorry. I immediately thought of Harvey Pekar's
Our Cancer Year.
I'm shooting sapphire bullets of pure love at his ill-bits.
Laura, that's so stressful. The not-knowing world of unclear diagnosis just sucks.
Erin, everything in the exciting world of quilt-work families is up for definition. That is, it is what people make of it. You might need to set aside your expectation for what an ex's role should be in your guy's life. It's not you and your husband with his son moving into the orbit occasionally. He's always going to have responsibilities with co-parenting that work best if you can extend yourself too. Or not. It's up to you, and you can certainly set boundaries.
I hope that doesn't sound critical. I just see you keep bouncing off some of those expectation and I don't think you want to only be in the role of Dad's New Girlfriend/Wife. I feel like maybe you see your (soon to be) stepson's mother as The Regrettable Mistake, or The Woman Who Hurt Your Man (and is totally unreasonable!). She's your stepson's mother and that's valuable to you.
{{Laura & Bobby}} I hope they figure out what it is, that it's nothing serious and that Bobby's back in the pink soon.
Ugh. I just realized my first real snowpocalypse issue - I'm almost out of tampons. If nothing's open tomorrow, I'm going to have a problem. I have a few friends in the complex that I can ask if I have to, luckily.
