That bridge collapse in Miami looks scary, Laura. I hope everyone's OK.
Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness.
Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

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

The volunteer thing I was supposed to do in Golden Gate Park on Saturday has been cancelled due to the rain, so now I don't have to feel guilty if I needed to bail due to illness.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
So far, all Dad's tests and CT scan have had normal results. I'm thinking his blood sugar got too low (he has diabetes) and he got dizzy and passed out. That's relatively easy to manage -- he just needs to test his blood sugar more often and maybe tweak his diet. But he's still at the hospital and they're going to run a few more tests.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Woke up this morning, stood up and nearly fell over. Took a little effort to make it to the bathroom, but I'm feeling fine now. Weird...

All right, nobody fall over. Including Steph's Dad.

Oh, Dad of Tep. He's very consistent. I hope he does whatever turns out to need doing to maybe not do that anymore. Can I make that sentence more convoluted and opaque? It would be hard.
He says he doesn't remember passing out
I am casting my mind back to the times I have passed out, and I can't say I ever remember them, exactly. I remember feeling kind of dizzy or just odd and then waking up, usually.
Yikes, Sheryl!

Parents, man.
I know, right?! I hope everything is good with your dad, and that he learns to TELL PEOPLE about this stuff.
(When I saw my dad and his ladylove last week, I turned to her and casually said, "So, any medical stuff he's forgotten to tell me?" Dad said "HEY!", Patty reassured me that there wasn't.)

ION, work nonsense has resolved, I am still employed, and there is no extended nonsense. Still full of meh about the whole thing, though.

Glad the nonsense is ended at least Atropa. I get the lingering Meh.
Aw, I reached out to my contact at JCP and she's so glad to be working with me again. It's so nice! At least everyone who isn't my company's upper management makes me feel like a valuable worker.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
So far, all Dad's tests and CT scan have had normal results.
That's good news!
I'm enjoying my new job so far, but DEAR GOD the coffee situation in this office. Not like my old place was a gourmet coffee shop either but at least those pods managed to squeak out a halfway decent espresso. This poor machine gave me half an inch of lukewarm brown water.
