I just ate a bunch of chips for second breakfast. Why, Jesse, why??? I wasn't going to go to DSW today, but now I'd better, just for the walk.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Gonna hit the library today. Other than that, no plans.

So, last night at like 9:00 PM, K went to suction Grace and the machine wasn't working. It wasn't holding any pressure at all. I took apart everything I could and reassembled. Then I checked the tubing. Played with the suction/tension dial. Nothing.
I then called our DME supplier and the on-call RT called immediately back. Got my info. Called the on-call driver. We had a new-to-us machine by 11:00 PM. It was all irritating but didn't feel full-blown panic! (It helps that we had gotten a donated Very Old suction machine that is stationary)
Keep Calm and Carry On indeed.
In other emergency news, one of the BD moms lives in Christchurch. Reading her news from yesterday reminds me that we do indeed need to put some formula for Grace into the Emergency Kit. Also, two weeks ago a woman who is a caretaker for her brother (who was on o2 and humidification like Grace) lost her husband, mother, and brother in a house fire that was the result of equipment going wonky.
Oh my.
Must go buy fire extinguishers too.
I'm feeling emergency-unpreparedness.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I'm reading an account of post-Katrina NOLA and feeling that, too. Take home message from The Big Uneasy? Don't trust the levees. Don't trust the new pumps. GTFO.

YAY no panic! I'm glad it worked out, even with the irritation.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
So far hurricaine season has only given us come cool waves and a little rain. It's a relief.
My Uncle's house has storm shutters and a big-ass automatic generator. In fact, his place is where everyone rides these things out. I have a husband (not my husband, but my cousin's husband who I get to borrow for such things so now I have a husband or at least husband access) to come do the storm shutters even. If we get whomped we're safe as milk... but I REALLY don't want to imagine the kind of anxiety R would go through in a shuttered house with her Daughter and SiL out of town.

Yeah, I really do need to put together that zombie apocalypse preparedness kit.

Speaking of preparedness FAIL, I just ran out of dairy product for my coffee.

Us too! I am about to make a milk run. Can I pick up some half and half for you?
