Hooray beach!

No Brubeck questions. I came in 4th, which oddly means no prize. Pout

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Coming in 4th on May the 4th should get you the grand prize!

Thrive to spite them

Folly Beach is wonderful. My brother and his ex lived there for several years.. in fact they were living there when E was born. The first time I saw E was in the Harris Teeter...I think that's the tight grocery store. I was so exited and mom saw my brother's car in the grocery parking lot so we pulled in and tracked them down. And bro was carrying E in his baby Bjorn thingie and E was...well not tiny...but he was adorable.

Steph I also want to say that you need this trip and go on it. There isn't anything you can do for your Dad right now . This is also a "put your oxygen mask on first" situation....right now you are the priority because you can't do anything if you can't breathe. A lot of stressful stuff had already happened so you need to get your oxygen mask on and breathe and be ready for what comes next.

Right? I guess I get the satisfaction of knowing that.

Our wings are not tired.

Beach is the very best plan. Yes, both the UTI and anemia can mess you up! He is getting the care he needs and you need to get the care you need!

We thought my brother was hallucinating (would not be surprised) yesterday. His ex-wife, who lives with him, was awakened by him at 7 when he opened her door and told her he got a job doing the fire watch thing and he would be back around 5. She doesn't normally wake until around 11 so she was too surprised to stop him and he drove off in her car. He sold his a while back because he really shouldn't drive. Anyway, she called my sister worried that he imagined the whole thing and was clueless where he was. I checked and found that there was a fire watch place in their small city, so who knows. He stopped working a while ago. So, he did show up again after 5 and explained that a friend got him this job watching video screens checking for fires and he works 8-5 M-F now. Of course he can't really stay awake for a couple hours, much less 8 so this won't end well. We all hope it actually works for him, but chances are really slim. At least we are super grateful that he wasn't hallucinating. He has water on the brain issues, and MS. Should not drive or work, but ass grown man, so not a lot we can do. eta: meant grown ass man, but leaving it

Steph, you definitely need this trip. You have done so much for your father, and he is safe in the hospital.

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

Timelies all!

What they said, Steph. Take care of yourself.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I'm also aware it's probably pretty unhealthy, but I'm drinking a beer right now, because I literally cannot think of any other way to cope with this shit.

Eh, its not nine beers.

Hang in there. Vacay comes.
