askye, I'm so sorry. All kinds of ~ma to your family, especially your brother and his son.
Time for some thrilling heroics.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
That's great, Shir. I hope they can get a handle on it soon.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, askye, I am so very sorry. I know how dearly you love your brother and your nephew and how upsetting just coping with the separation was for the whole family. Your ex-SIL must have been in such unfathomable pain for death to seem like her only option. Wishing so much strength and healing and support to all your family.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Oh god, askye, I'm so sorry. That's horrible -- that it happened at all, that your nephew lost his mother, that your brother has to be the one to pick up the pieces and figure out how to handle it all. Wishing much strength and comfort to your brother, your ex-SIL's boyfriend, and especially your nephew.
Scrappy, my heart goes out to you as well.
And Shir, I'm glad to hear some good news about your mom! That must be a huge relief. I hope you all find some answers soon.

Shir, glad you got good news. Hope a diagnosis and treatment plan are quick to follow.

So, today's work woes: Spoiled Brat and Puppy Boy are off on another site, and the rest of the crew and I had a lengthy talk. I didn't realize how bad SB's attitude had gotten - they all said they'd rather work with PB. He openly talks shit about me behind my back and undermines my authority. He's bumped crew members with the trailer (so much for not needing a guide). Etc, etc. So I will be joining my supervisor to have a talk with SB, and it's not out of the question that my crew will go from five to three this week.
It's a shame - they both have a great opportunity to grow, and they're both throwing it away with both hands.

Thank you, all.
As much as I'm very tired and would just like to shower, eat something and sleep now, the summer protest is reviving (Israeli version of Occupy Wall Street). So I'm gonna go and wish the new tent-city in Haifa my best wishes, leave them with few heat packs and Oreos for the night, and avoid arrest.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Shir, I'm so happy that the news is good for your mother!
Back to work for me! I actually feel semi-perky today, and my brain seems to be functioning well. WOO.
