Oh Laura, I'm sorry. May I offer you the fistbump of solidarity?
I hate to be the cold water on things, but between Deena's allergies and her challenged child, I'm still hesitant to send flowers--I'd defer to Greg's opinion, when and if he gets back to sj. If he thinks Deena would be cheered by flowers and they'd be safe (so she wouldn't be tasked with cleaning up a mess), then by all means, let's send them. Otherwise, I'd suggest a grocery delivery or a gift card and a nice greeting card with e-signatures from as many Buffistas and/or Bitches as want to send them.
{{{{{Laura}}}}} I'm sorry that is a lot to deal with.

I have scrubbed the entire fridge from top to bottom and added some things to my grocery list as a result. I'm feeling all virtuous. Now I just need to work on getting in the shower. TCG is out for a walk and I am completely alone for the first time in over two weeks. I love my hubby very much, but this is good for my introvert soul too.
It is so hard to let pets that have been part of your life for so long go.
I'm sorry for the pile on of family woes, Laura.
Scrubbing the refrigerator is definitely virtuous.
I'm in for contributing for Deena. Just let me know where to send the PayPal.
Laura, I'm so sorry.
Man, I've got another nasty case of the "don't wannas." I need to go do laundry, pick up prescriptions, buy groceries, stop by the pet store, and the carving party starts in 2.5 hrs. Technically I'm being semi-productive right now - I'm lying on a variety of balls to relax my hip, which is killing me - but I really just want to lie down and take a nap.

I've been wondering how to word that. Something more householdly practical, maybe.
Thanks for the hugs, thoughts, and fistbumps! It helps to let it out and let it go. I am not one for worrying and such since it doesn't really help me any. But there is just a whole lot of things I don't have any control over. Blah.
I did go out and do some cleaning of the new boat. I slept out there last night, which was rocking cool. Unfortunately just about any physical work and I am a big puddle so now I am drenched and ready for a nap/break/swim, anything but work.
{{everyone}} Because I think we all need it.
Man, I've got another nasty case of the "don't wannas."
smonster, I am with you in this. I need to do dishes, wash kitty blankets, and write write write. Oh, and finish my Halloween costume. All I want to do is veg out on the couch.

Same here. I need another day of weekend.
My "don't wannas" are being exacerbated by a pain in the middle of my back. Every time I lean over to do something, it tells me to go lie down. It's annoying.
