It's gonna be a nice day today!

Great. My co-worker (and 2nd mom) had a fucking stroke last night.


In some ways this has been the shittiest summer ever.

Awww, April, I'm sorry. How bad was it? Does she have any speech or movement?

Sometimes strokes aren't as bad as they first look, and loss of speech/movement is sometimes only temporary.

Well, my other co-worker called her this morning and she said she sounded "unlike Genny" (duh, she just had a stroke, so of course she's not going to sound normal), but we're going to try and see her this afternoon if the doctors say it's alright.

Hopefully it's not as bad as we think it may be.

Sorry to be such a downer, guys, but it's been a crap morning around here so far.

omg really???

BTW did they meet on here?

 

[pax]

Yes, they did!

 

[U2Girl1978]

That's very cool! I wonder how they started talking and when they met.

I always like to know how couples meet and stuff! This is so cool.

Maybe someone else on here will be next to get married? *cough*

Oh yikes...April I'm really sorry!

 

[Bonochick]

I'm so sorry, April.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Ok, here's the latest:

She can move her arms and legs, and her speech is still slurred but she seems to be doing alright. We're visiting her in about an hour.

 

[U2Girl1978]

That sounds good!

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

So... Isn't today Dorthe & LB's big meeting?

 

[U2Girl1978]

Is this the first time that they are meeting?

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I believe so.



In other news, I just bought two tickets to go see Dane Cook next month.

I would have that man's children in a freaking heartbeat. He's hot and funny.

 

[pax]

Yes, today is the day when Merc meets, um, Lemonbody...

I'm so excited for them! I remember the day so well...

Glad to hear Genny is doing okay.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Abby, I forgot to tell you last night, but I found Smithwick's here and had to call Jeff to tell him all about it. lol


I think I shall pick up some tonight on the way home before my Sex & The City marathon with Bridget.

 

[U2Girl1978]

I saw him in NYC last fall and now that I'm seeing him in a larger venue I wish I had convinced my mom to stay for awhile after the show so I could have met him. He's totally hot.


Alright, off to the hospital. Later, guys.

Gooooooood morning Vietnaaaaaaaaaaaaam!!!!!!!

[U2democrat]

bah i have to work again today and tomorrow. at least i don't have much time to work there because i move into CNU in less than three weeks and i have alot to do to prepare for that. so maybe i could get away with making next week my last week...

 

[pax]

I'm going home for lunch and the mail...ttyl.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Ok, back.

*fixes self a whisky sour*

She seemed in good spirits, at times it was hard to understand her, but overall it was a nice visit. We're just all glad it wasn't worse.


So, how is everyone doing this afternoon?

 

[pax]

I had a wee bit of a tummy ache.

I'm a little better now, though.







I wish I had something halfway interesting to report.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Well, my plans for tomorrow have been cancelled.

I've had it with these friends of mine anyway. They're girls from work (not "my" girls, girls who work on a different floor), and they are always flaking at the last minute. We were going to go downtown, have some drinks and some dinner, since we haven't really gone out all summer (or even before then - all the flaking out, you know ). Even when I asked her, "Are you SURE we're going?" she kept insisting yes, we were. (The other girl waits till the last minute to ask permission from her husband - lame upon lame unto itself.)

Good thing I had a backup plan because of course I get an email and call from her today saying how she can't go Friday because she has furniture coming Saturday (um ok) and she needs to finish painting , etc. I'm so angry at her I'm not even going to bother returning her call or email. How lame. Why should I give you the courtesy of saying, "Uh sure it's fine you're flaking on me again" when you can't even make time to hang out with me every couple of months?



Today has completely blown.

 

[pax]

I and another innocent post-er on another forum I frequent apparently (quite unintentionally) set off a minor war.

I feel badly about it, but what can you do?

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I can't wait to go home, crack open a beer, and eat pizza with my friend while watching dvds. It's been a long day.

 

[U2democrat]

work today was as boring as ever

tomorrow i'm working even longer
