You definitely do not need to get anything done other than taking care of yourself #1 and Tim #2. (Tim has lots of other people taking care of him, also put your own oxygen mask on first.)
Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Steph:
Oh, yeah. They were super understanding -- didn't even ask about when I thought I'd have my articles back; just told me they were praying for Tim and asking me to keep them updated.
You do not need to worry about this stuff today. I hope you will let them know that you are out of commission for a day or two and take care of yourself and Tim.

Forget about work today. Take a nap if you can and then go see Tim.

TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF. Take care of Tim. Work will understand.

As I sometimes remind people in my office, if something doesn't get done, no one's going to die.
So, Steph, take care of yourself and Tim. (Take a picture of his piercings ... if nothing else, you'll both get a laugh out of it sometime in the future.)

Steph, what every is saying. You are having a family emergency. The work can wait or be reassigned.
As to cats, both my cats died at 12 when I was hoping they'd live much longer. You never know.
That said, Oz who was already a fat cat, has gotten fatter over the winter. I guess chasing Clio was a major source of exercise for him. I changed to a healthier, no grain brand, hoping it would be more satiating, but he's as food oriented as ever. I am trying to play with him more. As much of an urinating jerk he can be, I would like to keep him happy and healthy.

In completely frivolous me-me-ME news: by this time tomorrow, I will be on a plane going to DISNEYLAND. I have no attention span for fussy project managers right now. CAN'T HEAR YOU, GOING TO DISNEYLAND.
