You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Mr. S woke up at 4 am wanting to sleep with us. Which of course means we did not sleep well for the rest of the night. We started the meds this morning, and we have a meeting with the principal(and Miss Annette from the PEP program) tomorrow.

Best of luck, Sheryl!

Thrive to spite them

Mom had a mini stroke. She is in the hospital for observation but seems to be mostly ok.

For some reason she cant get my of texts or phone calls. So She texted me to call her when I got off work but I couldn't rech her. Matthew finally called her and he got through.

Mom drove herself to the ER. Despite her doctor's office not just telling her to call 911 but offering to call for her.

So now her car is here and we have to figure out how to get it home. I don't know if she will be cleared to drive. Matthew didn't come up with me because hospitals are difficult for him.

I called work and this may technically count against me. I thought it was 3 strikes and you're out but it's 3 and you get a verbal warning. My supervisor said he hated to tell me that and he didn't thin it would count against me but they hve been really strict. Which sucks but if the least of my worries.

Skye, I hope your mom has a speedy, uneventful recovery! So glad that it sounds like she's doing as well as can be expected.

Mom drove herself to the ER.

I don't understand. I swear I will call 91 if I think I've had a stroke or heart attack.

She is planning on driving home tomorrow. I don't think that will happen.

Oh and she had the stroke yesterday. I think that is what she said but she wasn't feeling well and thought she had a stroke so she wrote something to treat her handwriting.

She wrote (and I'm paraphrasing) " If I don't wake up tomorrow. I want my kid to k ow I love them . Tell E he is strong and brave. And oh yeah I'm too stubborn to call 911. "

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

{{{askye}}} {{{askye's mom}}} Also, askye's mom, if you need to go to the ER, don't drive. PLEASE.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh man, askye! I hope your mom is OK.

I will say, my grandmother would just not tell anyone for days if she thought she had a stroke because "what are they going to do, anyway??"

Oh, it's not just parental units. "I know what my heart attacks feel like, I knew I had lots of time before it went bad." If he hadn't forgotten to take the medical bracelet off his wrist, I'd have never known.
