Hey guys, I’m sorry I haven’t been on board much these days. Or if my absence went unnoticed, then heck, ignore this post altogether. I just want you to let you guys know that I’ll be going away for a couple of weeks or so and probably won’t be around much if at all. I’ll try, but my computer access will probably be pretty limited. And no, I’m not going to jail. Although I probably deserve to. At least retroactively. I haven’t done anything illegal since, um, since, let’s see. Probably when I publicly made fun of Ben Franklin and called him a Four-Eyed Syphilis-Ridden Wanker. But since then, well, pretty much nothing. Anyway, my step-grandfather has pancreatic cancer. He had surgery but it’s progressed to other organs so the doctors just closed him back up and said his days are numbered. So I’m going to go up to Reno to keep him company and hopefully make him laugh (He thinks I’m entertaining. And also that I’M NOT PERKY, DAMMIT!) and probably be his slavey/dog keeper. I hope his dog can feed herself. I hope he doesn’t need any plants watered, either. I hope after his dog runs away and all his plants have died that he still finds me entertaining. But he might not ) Sorry for such a strange post, but I’ve been getting by on very little sleep and too many phone calls to relatives having to explain the situation over and over and over again to. I’ll try to come back here for a drive-by before I go. I LOVE YOU GUYS (that wasn’t perky, that was slightly drunk. But it’s still true)

Trixie!! We noticed you were gone, but knew that you'd check in when you had time. As you know, I am SO sorry that this is happening. Take my phone number with you because I'll be around if you ever need to talk. I'm sending him (and you) all my positive thoughts and prayers. Please try to take care of yourself, too!! Remember, call me anytime.

Liz! Thanks for the good thoughts. And I hope your offer of me making a 3:00 am phone call to you while I'm swilling cheap gin while surrounded by dead plants and an unstable greyhound dog is still good. Don't be surprised if you hear barking. Because that will probably be me. Just kidding, Liz. ;)Thanks for the support and the good thoughts. I probably will call you, but I swear I won't be drinking gin and it won't be 3:00 am (neither your time nor mine). However, I may be barking. Be prepared. And thanks again, sweetie.

Trixie, the sad thing is, you COULD call me at 3 a.m (12 your time ), and I'd be up to listen to you. I won't even care if you're barking because it would feel just like home to me!! ;D ;D Honestly, feel free to call anytime.

Okay, then! You'll be hearing Werewolves of London when you answer the phone. AWOOOOOO! I think I need a nap. I even have to go in to work tomorrow and it's supposed to be my day off. My boss gets paranoid when I have to take time off. Which is why I never take time off. I was so tired today I told him to take his filing and shove it up his alphabet. Luckily he laughed. But I was serious.

Oh, Charity, Thanks! I haven't talked to you in so long. I'll make up for that when I get back. Hope you and the beautiful Kallie are doing well.

Thank you, Chandy! You guys are making it hard to maintain a "not-sappy" attitude. Don't make me do it. It will ruin my reputation.

I don't know how I missed this but I've been missing YOU Trixie. I'm so sad to hear about your grandfather. I hope he's doing alright, not in pain and getting some rest. And you too!! Come back to us soon!

Hey Trixie ! I want to add my non sappy best wishes too . Rest assured us Brits don`t do sappy . Cynical, sarcasm comes most easily to us . That and shouting loudy at foreigners rather than learning another language But you will be in my thoughts . On a random note . How cool for your boss to be so dependent on you ! I would imagine that makes for good negotiations regarding terms!
