We're in the market for new outdoor furniture after the winter storms capriciously lifted our glass topped table by the umbrella and smashed it down to the ground with a good littering of broken glass everywhere.

That exact thing happened to me last year!

That sounds like an excellent day!

Mom had her CT scan this morning, and the plan is she’ll call me when the docs come to discuss. But who knows when that’ll be—probably in a few hours when it’s halftime at the soccer game I’m going to and I can’t find a quiet space. But if I stay home they won’t call til after the game I’m sure. Fingers crossed the news is not horrific.

These storms hate glass topped tables! I'm leaning towards one of those cool looking triangular awnings this time.

Fingers crossed the news is not horrific.

How well I know this scan-xiety! All phalanges crossed.

Pulling hard for your mom meara.

Timelies all!

I’m sorry meara.

Yay for good progress, JZ!

We’re here at Balticon. Mr. S is here for the day. Seems a bit restless, not sure what he wants to do.

It's a gray day in LA but the sun should come out in the afternoon. We've already scuttled off to the French bakery and are back in our room with treats.

It is a bit of a dreary day here today. It was chilly and gray when I dropped K off at LAX this morning. I'm striking production on Kinky Boots tonight starting at 11pm and that's going to be a chilly evening.

Well, scan is basically as feared—big pancreatic tumor, big liver mets, lymph nodes etc. they’ll do a biopsy soon to see what kind but it’s inoperable and very not good. :( they did seem like treatment rather than “don’t bother” but….we shall see.

Oof, Meara. I'm sorry

Fuck cancer.

Ugh. Oh, dear. Some big QoL decisions coming up. I'm sorry I don't have any useful advice.
