In random last minute decision making, I just made reservations to fly to Florida Saturday. My MIL's 80th birthday is Sunday (yes, she is closer to my age than DH), and my sister is having surgery on Tuesday and I just thought both would appreciate me being there. Brendon is over the moon. I think he might miss me.
The money was too good. I got stupid.

My condolences, Pix and Drew. You really did go above and beyond for him, I don't think you should have any regrets for how you handled things on your end.

What are people doing this weekend?

My very exciting Saturday involves taking the car for its 5000-mile service, since (1) it's due, and (2) we leave for the beach in 2 weeks and want to make sure the car is in shape.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I got my car back from the collision repair place this morning, and I'm getting my oldest kid back from LA tonight! Babies returning home all day, woo!

Went to the gym with my sister and great nephew this morning. We have been going every morning at 9. Good to get into a routine there. I leave for FL this afternoon. Driving to my son's at 3, then he'll drive me to Albany. Flight at 7 via Atlanta, to get to Ft. Lauderdale at 1 AM. Then I'll get to see my mural in progress at home, MIL birthday tomorrow, then head to west coast of FL for my sister's surgery on Tuesday. This that and the other until I fly back Friday.
eta: RIP Dr. Ruth

I am at the NASCAR race at Pocono Raceway at a booth for ASH. Under a four-tent set-up thank the universe. It's a party up in here, but very chill. I just made the rounds to meet the orgs at other booths, but the sun got me after about five. Gonna chill and take another run later.
Lots of kids writing lots of notes -- well, coloring sheets -- which is fun.
All of the volunteer ladies who came with T are lovely, but one of them is SO shouty and talks a lot, so I'm practicing operating from a place of being grateful for all she does, which is a lot, and her genuine kindness. And then I thank the gods for my single hotel room at night. Bliss.

I'm pretty sure she means "A Soldier's Hands" and not Anthony Stewart Head.
