Thanks. He came through brain surgery OK and is recovering. Right now the swelling in his brain (HIS BRAIN!) is causing complete vision impairment, but doctors think that will change once the swelling goes down.

My co-worker was in the passenger seat - it was her car, and she was coming back from her birthday party, and R. graciously was driving her home. She is... recovering emotionally. Her parents are here, probably trying to get her to move back to Atlanta.

We are all pretty shook up around here.

I'm getting completely stressed out about several things that have happened today. Stupid things that are not important and not all bad. There is so many better things to concentrate on. Why can't I just do that?

Oh, man. All kinds of emotional and physical healing to them and those who love them. Scary doesn't cover it.

Well, I just told off a door to door saleswoman. That made the day a little brighter.

Darnit, just caught up & was going to meara, but I just got a meeting reminder, so no time, lemme sum up.

Much healing~ma to Nora's friend & Daniel, relief~ma to Ginger's ears & the hip(py) pain chicks, focus~ma to sj.

Big helping of general~ma for anyone I missed.

Oh how stressful for everyone affected, Nora. I hope the recovery is as quick and complete as possible.

Sorry people are having rough days.

I feel like someone peed in my Cheerios this morning but I think that is the Sudafed talking. Sinuses, why?

Just saw that on FB, Nora. So scary! All good thoughts and healing~ma going out to him and his friends and family.

Invoking FPC: work truck has a flat, plug kit didn't work, about to be pulled off our jobs to help in a huge build event, and we only have a few more days to complete our first project. A little work-go-smoothly~ma would be appreciated.

smonster, don't know if you'd be interested, but there's a company than makes recycled glass countertops.

That third photo, in particular, is lovely.
