We are truly blessed. We just got home from the hospital, and Gosling#2 has been moved to a regular room, because they needed the ICU bed for a really sick person. His turn around has been amazing. Exactly what th cause was is yet to be determined, and there is a chance we may never know. But I am thankful that he is on the mend ( Read more... )

(note - I refer to our kids as Gosling#1 and #2. They are 25 (girl) and 21 (boy) This is the saga of my boy's last few days. There are some out there who may be interested. Rorik is the husband unit)

I have cut for length - I'm getting this off my chest so that I can try to sleep

( Right now Gosling#2 is in Intensive Care at Anne Arundel hospital. )

I am now officially in panic. I will calm down some *IF* tonight I manage to ( Read more... )

I am starting to get twitchy - I want everything organized, reserved and packed; sitting by the front door waiting to run to the airport. What do you mean we aren't leaving until Nov. 2nd? Makes no matter - wanna go NOW ( Read more... )

Staggered into work at 5:35, signed in and jumped on the first elevator to open. Didn't think until later that there had been a funny clunking sound. Tried to get off on 13 (yes, my building admits that there can be a 13th floor). The door opened a bit, then closed. Elevator shuddered. Tried opening again. Closed. Got to use the emergency intercom ( Read more... )

Well, the last Zebra Con was fun. I was completely sleep deprived going into it, and haven't even begun to catch up. Let me just say that work is evil, and massive last second fire drills to satisfy a congressional is worse. Getting up at 3 the next morning to catch the flight made it all that much more interesting ( Read more... )

I signed up for Zebra Con a looong time ago, not really thinking about what an additional trip would mean. I'm feeling pretty bad about spending all this money just for me when we have other obligations as a family. At least I'm sharing the room ( Read more... )

I was shocked to see how long it has been since I posted. I have updated my other lj more often, but that one is linked to my SCA activities and I am trying to keep these separate until I'm no longer an officer ( Read more... )

Right now I'm sitting in an over-priced motel room just down the road from Pennsic, a gathering of 10,000 of my closest friends in the SCA. We are up for land grab - and will be here for the entire two weeks. Fortunately there is an internet cafe in effect, so I can keep up ( Read more... )
