I am sorry, amyparker. Sending much love.

FB keeps telling me that I became friends with dozens of you 16 years ago. They are mistaken.

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

Timelies all!

I'm sorry for your loss, amyparker.

Well I got a ride back with some friends, and got home not long after when I I would have if I flew. My replacement credit card was waiting for me.(I had disputed a charge, so they had canceled my old card and sent a new one last Wed. ) I was able to go online and request a new drivers license, and printed out a copy of my registration and a temporary license. My bank card arrived today.

What's left? The main thing is getting a new key for my car, which requires having the car at the dealer. My car is currently in a parking garage at BWI airport. I would need to get a tow from there. Gary was supposed to drop Mr. S at the PHP this morning then come back here. Unfortunately, Mr. S was in a Mood. At first he wouldn't go in, then he went in and became disregulated and physically aggressive, so they called 911. He and Gary are at an ER near the facility, and I have no idea when they'll be home.

Oh Sheryl, I hope that things settle down for you.

Bro update. He is in the hospital voluntarily. They were able to insert a feeding tube, take a biopsy, and perform a whole bunch of other tests and scans. He'll be there a couple more days. He'll have a home health aide to help with stuff. They do say he can drink whatever he can; he just can't have anything solid. This helps because he loves his canned coffee drinks and soda. No surprise; the immediate future is waiting for results and decisions.

Amy, I'm so very sorry.

Foot~ma!

I am on the road. I am going to Utica to pick up my nephew and his cat to take the cat to the vet. He never got a driver's license (he's 50). After that, I am going to Rome to have lunch with my son and GF. Then, the three of us will head to Albany to pick up DH, who is flying north to drive home with me. So, I am pretty much in the car for the next 12 hours, with a number of stops.
