Glad for good stepdad news, Laura!

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

Just rewatched Wonder Woman. Now for some reason I'm rewatching Stranger Things for some reason.
ETA: I'm going to leave that post the way it is.

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
-t, I'm sorry for the work insanity.
Good news for your stepdad, Laura.
I said this elsewhere, but if anyone wants to evacuate we have room for you and your pets. Just show up if it comes down to it.

Laura, I'm glad they plan to evacuate. Just saw that a nhc scientist evac'd his *cat*, even as he has to stay to monitor the storm. That's telling.

I've got room too, though the roof might leak (but not over the bed.)

Thanks, y'all. I am doing super great, almost all the time, I swear. It's just sometimes super hard. So while I was in the throes of it, I started reaching out to some of my support network, and you guys are a big part of it.
There was a specific thing with the former SO that triggered the meltdown, but the other big thing is, I just hit my birthday, and I think milestones/holidays are tough in transition. But it's my Year of the Answer now! I aim to make it an excellent one.
Yeah, totally with you all on the work thing. I have a really great boss, and I was all avoidy and dreading communication, and she was super perceptive and empathetic. So I needn't have fussed.
Was thinking about your fam, Laura, and some of my other FL peeps. I hope everybody's ok.

Lots of love to you, Liese.
I'm glad everything worked out, Tommyrot!
Laura, wishing for safety for your family. I'm thinking a lot about everyone in Irma's path.
I was supposed to fly to Fort Lauderdale Saturday morning for my niece's baby shower, which she is having to reschedule. I'm worried about her--7 mos. pregnant, right in the path of the storm. I offered my place to her and her DH, but they are on the fence about evacuating.

amyth, I hope your FL family members take you up on your offer. It would be nice to meet them. Did you mention that we have, like, all the hospitals, if your niece runs into any complications? Plus, BBQ.

NHC started using the M designation on their warning maps for Irma. Freaking terrifying move into superlatives.

Our wings are not tired.
Tipsy tommyrot!
I do hope your niece and DH get out. Love to all who open their homes to those fleeing. I think I talked to DH once yesterday, which is an indication of how busy he was preparing. Normally I talk to him at least a dozen times. I don't get anxious or freak out normally; I am more a do what you gotta do girl. But my chest hurts thinking about the coming destruction that is out of my control. My family has the means to get out, but too many don't. And maybe stupid because it is property and not life, but the Keys have brought so much joy and I worry they will be destroyed.
