Back To Life -- Back To Reality Thursday, Sept. 18, 2003 - 7:02 a.m. John went to Chicago on Monday morning and was there until Wednesday afternoon. He got home and was so shell-shocked from his trip that he called in sick. He's asleep in the bedroom right now and will probably stay that way until the crack of noon. I'm glad he's home safe and sound. I didn't feel safe writing about his absence until he'd returned, so I did the trip report stuff instead. Meanwhile, my end of the family is having an adventure. My brother and his wife and their kids came down for a visit with my grandmother, and found her wandering around in her extremely overheated house in her birthday suit, with a lot of the furniture scooted around, and no sign of her purse. We're still trying to figure out what happened, but the good news so far is that she's lucid and rehydrated. Heatstroke is a frightening thing; Paul had it a couple of months ago. Adult Protective Services has taken it upon themselves to intervene, and they've declared that Gran can't go back home unless there is a worker there to take care of her. So my brother and his wife and their kids are moving in with Gran. I can't think of a better solution. --- P@ul Schu!tz stopped by the first of the trip report pages and left some graffiti. :) Beans and franks, my spotty fat ass. Speaking of which, or rather the absence of which, he weighed himself last week, and the first digit is now a one. Congratulations, dear friend. I'm proud of your efforts. Ich liebe dich.:) --- Here comes Hurricane Isabel. I hope all of my beloved ones on the East Coast are safe and sound. Give me a ping when you are able to let me know how you fared. ---
