Holy crap, Hurricane Patricia is scary. In less than two days, it went from a minimal tropical storm to, by some measures, the most powerful hurricane ever recorded, and it's going to make landfall in Mexico tomorrow.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
That hurricane is scary, and I feel bad for being so glad it's nowhere near me.

That hurricane is very scary and I love Puerto Vallarta and will be very sad if it takes such an awful hit! :(
Jesse, I'm assuming that she somehow got a ton of money from Derek's death? Did she sue them or something, why did Penny's hospital CLOSE? Or maybe Derek had a ton of life insurance? They surely must have a nanny by now--Zola in the daycare is one thing, but three kids? Nanny would be cheaper? Or two nannies? Three? Since she's on call all the time? But yes, I was shocked they remembered the kids enough to have the coats be in a kids' playroom!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Sure, but still!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
meara, I agree, but it's bad writing not to at least mention where the kids are.

Oh, I totally agree, it's ridiculous--they don't even have to pay the kid actors/show them, just a mention of where they are....

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Yipes, yes, scary hurricane!
Also yipes on the rough night's sleep, brenda. My sleep was all screwy too, not sure why. I went to bed at 11, which is good, but for some reason I couldn't stay asleep. I woke up at 3:30 and was still awake at 4 and then finally dozed off but woke up again around 5ish before I finally true fell back asleep. And then was jarred awake by my alarm of course!

I think I went to bed around 1030 (might now have slept until 11? Forget how long I played solitaire!) and got up at 8ish. After hitting snooze a few times.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Holy shit, I'm safe. My job is saved. We just won a major contract. Work gave me the rest of the day off, and permission to expense a nice dinner and drinks with whomever I want.
JFC, I don't have to live my life in 30-day increments anymore. I'm not sure what to do with myself.
