Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Catching up after being away from the computer all day yesterday. Super exciting times at my house - broken water main under my lawn. Thank G-d I have insurance, but it still made for a crap day. Spent at home, when I had a lot at work that needed to be dealt with. But my house is more important, especially considering I'm frustrated enough at work that I'd almost welcome being fired. Thankfully, plans today (that I was only lukewarm about) fell through so I could spend a not stressed out day at home chilling out.

Cindy, I'm so sorry, I can only imagine how hard that must be. So much -ma for your son and you.

Shir, AFAIK I'm the only buffista in San Diego (though NoiseDesign spent many of his formative years here as well). I'd be happy to offer whatever info I can.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Loads of ~ma for your peace of mind and for your son's health, Cindy.

I'm sorry for all of the house trouble and work frustration, Epic.

And thank you for offering to help my friend. Can I connect you via your profile addy?

Cindy, I'm sorry. Here's hoping things go as smoothly as possible for your son.

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

Timelies all!

Usual Sunday activities here. Still hot.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I'm sorry, Cindy. That's so much to cope with at once.

Coding and Sleeping

A/C stopped working this morning and the local HVAC company came out and took care of it in like two hours which was pretty great. After taking care of that (i.e. making a phone call and standing around while the tech did the work), I replaced the spark plugs and ignition coils on my son's car, cut the wood for the cabinet I'm making, two two loads of laundry, one load of dishes, make dinner, and ran out to the pharmacy. Still need to pay some bills and schedule up my wife's weekly blog posts.

Sorry about the house issues, Tangent. I hope things are resolved with as little trouble as possible.

Still hoping for the best possible with your son, Cindy.

What is even happening?

Thanks everyone.

He's still in the hospital. Trying again to see if he can tolerate clear liquids. The path to getting home is clearing the infection (yesterday's labs were good) -> tolerating clear liquids -> tolerating formula (like Ensure, Boost, etc).

Surgery will likely come in 6 - 8 weeks. I hope his doc is back today (he's been on vacation, which I know was to be two weeks, but I didn't know the start date).

The hospital he's in is fantastic, but it's still a hospital.
