near misses

With one colorful exception, last week was a bit of a week all the way around. However, the weekend was pretty much apocalyptic.

Yeah, I've had a long talk with Colin about all this. Several, in fact, most of which explain that just because he can do something doesn't mean he should do it. Colin didn't notice. Punk. For once, though, that's okay. As long as he's always okay after, I'll forgive him every stupid thing he manages to do. He just has to be stay okay.

Thank everything that is good that he's okay, and that you have good friends. *offers hugs* Apocalyptic is the word, that is horrific even just reading it. I'm so glad you're okay.

This is one of the rare times when I cannot overstate the horror and subsequent insanity. However, this is also one of the almost-as-rare times when a nightmare situation had the best and only truly good ending possible. He's all right, and Dori and Frances just held me while I sobbed babbled myself back into some semblance of sanity. I don't have words enough to describe my gratitude for these miracles.

I....
Gods....
Fuck. *hugs you hard*

[researchgrrrl]

Thank you. We're all right. I'm pretty sure he knocked twenty-five years off my life with this and in turn I knocked ten and fifteen off Frances and Dori, respectively, but we're all right.

[katbcoll]

I haven't got the words for how grateful I am that you have Dori and Frances. I just don't.

[thediva_laments]

Wow, I am SO glad that you're both still here with us.

And, as a life long lilly hater, I'll never look at them the same way again.

I like lilies but I've never had strong feelings one way or another about them. These were already in this flowerbed, even; all I did was make that spot a friendlier place for them to thrive. That they were directly under my window and able to break Colin's fall was purest chance. Oh my god, but I'll always be glad I like to play in the dirt and that Dori has supported that every step of the way.

*hugs* Oh, God. Thank God he's okay. And thank God for those lilies.

Hang in there.

I'm so glad my ferrets are always know me well enough to run to me when they see me, whether I'm calling them or offering them food or just shaking and out of my mind in the middle of the yard. Unlike cats or even dogs, ferrets have no ability to adapt if they get lost. If they aren't killed right off, they will starve to death within three days. And Colin...well, he's particularly trusting for a ferret. Oh, I'm so glad I found him and that he's all right.

[kefiraahava]

I didn't know ferrets weren't adaptable that way. Oh God, how terrifying. I've had cats lost and it's horrible, but that...argh.

Tell Master Colin that if he doesn't stop scaring you like this I will [substitute ferret-appropriate punishment here]. Silly little sparkle-brain.
