Crises over holidays are horrible. The people you need are taking deserved breaks, staffing is spotty and doesn't have the resources they need, and so much has to be postponed. All prayers to Grace.
Can't drink, smoke, diddle my willy. Doesn't leave much to do other than watch you blokes stumble around playing Agatha Christie.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Kat, ~ma to Grace, and sorry your vacation got cut short. Sorry you're in Idaho instead of home, too.
Consuela, good luck with the vet visit.
It's a lovely day. 75 degrees and low humidity. I have the windows open.

Connie -- it was that way when my Mom died at the start of Labor Day weekend.
Yeah, the storm blew in some glorious weather at least!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Oh Kat, how terrifying! I hope everyone is doing better today.

Kat, I hope everything works out okay. Thinking of you all.
I've been without power for most of the day. The storm was all wind, and since about noon it's been sunny, but very windy.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Well, I figured out why I've been achy all day -- temperature 99.9. Not quite a fever yet, but keeping an eye on it. (Especially since I've got a cut that looks like it got a bit infected -- it's not too bad, and I cleaned it, and it's a lot less red and painful and swollen now than it was a few hours ago, but I've known a few too many people recently who got seriously sick from something that started as an infected cut or blister, so if it starts getting swollen again, or if my fever goes up, I'll go see a doctor.)

Take care of yourself, Hil!

Glad you figured it out and I hope you heal up, Hil.
Stay safe, Sue, and I hope you aren't without power for too long.
Continuing health~ma for Grace
I am moving like molasses today and not getting much done. I think I need to restructure my life somehow so there is less to get done, because I am never going to catch up.
