Suzi, Congrats on having a high schooler! Especially one who gets along with girls. It'll be good.

Glad everyone is safe!

Kat, that's what my dad had installed a last month. He was just back to have the device checked and everything is fine. They gave him some kind of machine that will allow to monitor the device remotely from his bedroom, which is weird and freaky and awesome all at the same time.

He can't drive for six months because there's a 20% of having another v-tach 'sode in that time.

I'm ibid'ing the Cantor comments and the WTF?CrazyPerson mad at Zen comments.

I gotta go to bed -- I am dropping -- but my storm blase has grown a little thin right now...10 more minutes, I swear.

Kat, all good -ma to your dad and your mom. Scary. My dad had a big heart attack and triple bypass 13 years ago (WOW) and I have never driven so fast or been so scared in my life.

He's still going strong. 71 this year.

HOLY SHIT, FLICKER! SKY GO BOOM.

Yeah. My mom has been driving back and forth to Cleveland to be with him. Which is super exhausting.

They also just got back from Rhode Island where they saw my niece graduate from NAPS. So now she is on her way to the Naval Academy!

Oh, I remembered what I wanted to ask:

Any word on ita? She hasn't been around, probably for perfectly logical reasons, since she's in a hospital, but I am a little concerned.

God, I am such a worrywart this week.

And to bed now.

She was in Movies today.

She was in...some other thread and said she was okay. Got home from the hospital and slept a lot.

Well, I made an assumption, that turned out to be wrong, and he made an assumption based on stuff other people said/did, and we clarified things, and I guess we're back on good terms now, but damn.

And now he's suggested, instead of doing That, why don't you do This? Well, I don't want to. But now I kind of have to, don't I? Or my initial offer will appear insincere.

Fuck. Sometimes I regret ever speaking to anyone.

It's perfectly acceptable to have offered something and for that to be the extent of the offer.

And sheesh, Kat, scary stuff about your dad. It's a bad night for dads apparently. The SO's dad is back in the hospital having super high blood pressure. They've got him stabilized, but still scary. And my sis was under the same storms as msbelle and dj, but it seems like they're okay so far too.

And my student's brother just died. No details yet on how, but he was a young man, so there's no reason that will be a good reason. Lots of my kids knew him, so there's a bunch of mourning right now.

Stressful night.

And because I can't say it on facebook since it's going nuts right now, NHL: GOING TO OVERTIME ELIMINATION GAME WHOO!
