I've already looked at plane tickets, so that's ready for purchase tomorrow. (Jesus, the flight leaves Cincinnati at 5:45 in the a.m. WHAT THE SHIT AIRLINE.) And if Mom and I both go, only one of us can stay with my brother because the apartment is small and doesn't have a guest room, but I've already looked at nearby hotels, so that's covered.
I can do laundry in the morning tomorrow, and finish some work and go to the library to get something to read on the plane. All my prescriptions have recently been filled, so I have enough meds for a multi-day trip out of town.
I got this.
Teppy, I'm not that far away. If I can do ANYTHING, please let me know. I'm out of state Tues and Wed, but beyond that...seriously.
Thanks, Suzi. I'll let you know. He's up in Superior.
Steph, when I got the email with the subject line with only my aunt and uncle's names, I couldn't open it for a good while. Those sorta things don't bode well and while the dread is bad, it's better than something.
Vibes for your brother, and for you, Tep. I hope he knows (really, from everything you've ever said about him and about your relationship, I'm pretty certain he does know) what a great and loving sister you are.
Forty five minutes away, give or take. Easy. If I were closer, I'd offer you a place to stay.
Seriously, for whatever shit you have to deal with, You are doing an amazing job of pulling stuff together , Steph.
Ignore the grammar-
Sleep well tonight and know we are all pulling for you and your brother
Right as we were paying the bill, my cell phone rang and all hell broke loose.
Jesus. I'm so sorry, Tep.
Holy hell. I'm sorry, Tep.
Good grief. I'm sorry, Tep.
