I swear, if that girl weren't family, I would never speak to her again. I'm so over this.

Yeah, the family caveat would probably not preclude me from cutting that toxic situation off. That's just me though. Just because we're related doesn't mean I have to - or should - deal with their insane crazy asshole behavior.

Thanks, askye. Kitty ~ma for Dean and Penny.

Damn, I need to be going to bed, but I'm too wound up.

I'm sorry, Zen. I hope you can get some rest.

Being concerned is totally legit, Steph.

I know it is

I phrased that so, so poorly. And unintentionally. Really sorry.

If Tim can't grab you more beer, I vote whiskey. Knowing you are absolutely limited to one might not be soothing.

Oh, no! I wasn't trying to respond in a crabby way at all. I was just saying that I do know being concerned is legitimate, and it's weird to me that I'm shocked that I'm no longer blase.

I wasn't put off by what you said at all, and wasn't trying to be cranky back at you.

I have now had the one beer, and it was enough. I have such a low tolerance from living with a non-drinker (because it's just not interesting drinking when I'm the only one doing it) that one beer is enough to bring the mellow.

And I heard from Dad a little bit ago; they're running tests but don't have any results yet, which I expected. They're keeping him overnight, which I also expected. He still sounds fine, and he's in the best possible place to be if his heart is going to get all ornery, so for now I'm going to try to chill.

Teppy, ~ma for your dad and chill~ma for you.

Actually you weren't cranky at all. I just read exactly what I typed and was a little horrified. At myself.

Sounds like a good plan. I am glad that your dad is in good hands. And didn't drive himself there.

I hope sumi's doing okay.

Hubby has driven himself to the ER when he suspected heart issues. The staff are always horrified. He says he knows the progression of his heart attacks and always(!) knows where he is in the time line. The man should not have that big a statistical universe to have an accurate predictive model. Though it's better than One and Done.

Me too.
