File under: For whatever it's worth

I actually have good news. My breakdown had a half-life of only a few days, so I think I actually see some light at the end of the tunnel. Of course, as the magnet on my MIL and PIL's (mama- and papa- in-law) fridge says "the light you see at the end of the tunnel might be an oncoming train". Or something like that. Anyway, a huge debt of gratitude goes to Mr. Q for putting up with my basket-case-edness and not leaving me (yet). I know he wants to.

First good news: My uber-cool PIL is out of the hospital and is at home as of last night. He's not running marathons or anything yet, but at least he's out of the hospital.

Second good news: My uber-awesome husband has made it possible for me to fly to Portland Friday for the big day with my boy. Pictures should be up on Monday. I was going to drive up there, blah blah blah, but we figured out that was a monumentally stupid thing to do given everything else that is going on right now. So, I fly up Friday morning, see my baby graduate, and fly home Friday night.

Third good news: My boy will hopefully be spending the remainder of his short, free time before his individuality is surrendered, his head is shaven further, and he starts saying "Sir! Yes, Sir!"... with me. If it works out, he is coming down here for 10 days before he swears in and ships off to boot camp. That will be awesome, because he'll be here for MY graduation, in which case I will walk, and his sister's 16th birthday. I am even tentatively planning to watch him swear in. If that happens, I promise to not do anything foolish like (Censored for Big Brother) and prevent him and all the other recruits from going off to fight in this travesty of a conflict. It will undoubtedly be the hardest thing ever, but I do need to support him. Right? Right.

Fourth good news: This semester is over except for finals. I survived with my sanity partially intact so that is good. I am taking the summer off from school. If you hear me saying anything about signing up for a class over the summer, please, please just shoot me. Unless it's yoga. I really need to start doing yoga again. That's the only exception!


Thanks! You've been a lovely audience!
