Just got more information about J's accident. There was a 4 car accident that happened right in front of her. She swerved off the road to avoid the accident, went into a ditch and down an embankment, over corrected and rolled her Highlander 6 or 7 times.
She is going into surgery again tomorrow for her neck (broken in 3 places) and her arm (broken in multiple places). Apparently she has been able to recognize people and has spoken, though she has been told not to talk.
I wish there were something I could do other that just worry.
Yikes, Suzi!
We went out to dinner with the twins which is a bad adventure (it was 3 adults, a teen and two preschoolers). Then we went to a park after and just sat, which was great as it cooled off enough to enjoy being outside.
Then I got a call to teach a gig at UCLA that canceled my trip to Seattle, but will pay quite a bit. I'm sad at being responsible as I was looking forward to PNW, but happy for the work in this mandatory-furlough times.
Hooray for more $$$, Kat.
Sad that we'll miss you, but Seattle is always here, and $$ is not!
Sookie Smackhouse was taken but Elizabeth the Worst is not.
Yay rollerderby.
I went out drinking with Juliana for her birthday. I am not so much sober.
Yikes, Suzi. I hope your friend's surgery will be able to put her back together.
I'm back in NC again, with as full computer access as a loving cat across my wrists allows. Last Friday Aims invited me and Debetesse over for a delicious dinner. I also got to meet the ever-charming Emmeline. It was a lovely way to cap off my vacation. Midwest-istas are awesome.
Have yet to sleep straight through the night in the new house. I hope that ends once the furniture gets here.
Today we church with the parents. They go to early church, 8:30. That is earlier than I would wake up for church in ny. We will be done and leaving by the time we would have arrived at chirch in ny.
Mac and I are both preparing for a small herd of people to swarm us. Mom and dad are very active in the church and these people know all about our stuff.
Happy belated to Juliana!
Sending the ~ma to J for a quick recovery.
$$ is a good thing, Kat. So is visiting the PNW. Sorry it has to be a choice thing.
Best wishes for facing the swarm, msbelle. Community and family support is a wonderful thing to have in this life.
