Oh my goodness! What a roller coaster catching up on Natter was just now! So much love and support to Epic — may the radiation work the the drain be a thing of the past quickly. Sheryl, so much continued support to you and Gary with Mr. S. Teppy, holy crap, what a day. I guess it ended relatively good on the scale of WTF?
I'm going to see to Wesley, see if he's still whimpering.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

The status is NOT quo.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
So he IS having the lung surgery tomorrow.
Plot twist!
I think that deserves more pumpkin ice cream?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I'm glad that his eyes are fine, Teppy, but that is quite a roller coaster. Ice cream was definitely a good idea.

I don't know if I'm amused that you know me so well or ashamed that I'm so predictable, but I did in fact have more pumpkin ice cream.

To know you is to love you.

Fuck. Big dose of mortality in the face.
Just found out that Matilda's old school friend, Davi's, father died yesterday.
They literally lived around the corner from our old apartment on Frederick, so I ran into Drew on the street more often than any other of her friend's parents. (He was an accountant who worked from home.)
In fact, I'd seen him twice in the last month and as recently as two weeks ago.
When we were quarantined early in the pandemic, it was Davi's mother, Raquel who did a grocery run for us.
Just found out he'd been diagnosed as bipolar a few years ago, and I'm afraid it was a suicide. He had four kids. Memorial on Sunday.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Okay, Tim’s eyeball is fine.
Good. Especially since his eyeball being okay means they can tack his lung to his ... some part his outerish but still inside body.
You deserve a few days of actually no stress tapping out after this, Tep, no hugs.

Well, fuck.

Our wings are not tired.
Yay for Tim's healthy eyeball. Sending the uncomplicated and effective surgery~ma.
Oh David, how awful for Davi and her family.

DH left NY yesterday about 5 AM, stopped in Savannah last night and is well on the road this morning with arrival at his brother's this afternoon. We are supposed to close on the condo 10/25 or 11/6 depending on the timing of board approval. Mostly that is getting past the large dog issue, but paperwork has been submitted. Surely they will see that we are upstanding citizens! From DH's visits to the building he reports a nice international mix of residents with Europeans, South Americans, Islanders, and so forth. Everyone seemed friendly and happily shared their reviews of the building. He had a good feeling. Those of you who have met Brendon know he talks to everyone in sight all the time. He will know everyone in the buildings within a couple months. Extrovert extraordinaire.
