Awesome. Enjoy.

I cannot believe Al Davis passed away today. Beau is a HUGE Raiders fan.
What a week.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I cannot believe Al Davis passed away today.
Whoa, I kinda thought that would never happen, somehow.

Oh ita. I'm so sorry about your mom and your car. I've not been on the board much this week or I would have said something sooner. (On an amusing side note, autocorrect just turned my attempt at "said something" to "sir Thor.". Um?) ND is extremely good at finding cars and will stalk them for you--if you want help, he's a good resource.
It's hard to meara on a phone. I should get my butt out of bed and get my laptop.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
ND, insent with parameters. Thank you so much.
My mother was all "Aren't any of your internet friends men? You know how they like to talk about cars."
She was in much better spirits last night than before. My sister, on the other hand, is on the brink of total collapse. She's been running at 150% since she heard the news. She's been digesting all the doctor's information, disseminating the news to friends and family, and generally waiting on Mummy hand and foot.
She even set up a Skype video call so I could see Mummy in person, and she was standing there stroking our mother's hair.
This is so terribly hard on her. I really hope it doesn't get worse. When she implodes, she really implodes. I'm not sure I know how to be there for her. Her relationship with my father will be strongly tested. They're much more contentious, but Daddy has been stellar during this as well. I feel vaguely useless.
Thank you guys so much for the well wishes and support. It really makes a huge difference. It's mostly what's keeping me from being a complete basket case.
Huh. Now I need to look up the etymology of basket case. Can't be anything good.

Yeah, it's disturbing. I don't know if you want to dig that up.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I know it's hard to be far away, but remember that most of what you can do now is moral support anyway, and you can do -- and are doing -- that from where you are.
My massage was really stellar, and I bought the membership thing because they were having a sale which makes it a really good deal. I have to believe spending this money is worthwhile. But maybe I won't go shoe shopping like I was thinking about doing.

Okay, basket case is out of my vernacular. That's gross.

I figure that making her laugh, and making my father and sister laugh, is the best thing I can do right now. Even when I don't feel like laughing. *Especially* when I don't feel like laughing. I've been calling every day since I found out, but I'll ease up on that, since it's a bit crowding. I'll call tomorrow, since it's my normal call-home day, and I'll call Monday so I can see how she's doing after the surgery.
