news and news and news

First news - Harold's ng tube came out so they made an emergency run to University of Chicago to have it put back in since he is now where near ready to eat anything solid - poor sweety tried unsuccessfully to eat Jello. They numbed him but didn't wait long enough and thus reinserted tube in distressingly long minutes. At least it won't come out, we hope.

Second news - successful year for me at Medieval Faire - made 1100 plus dollars and sold many items. It just thrills me to know so many of my creations are in other homes. Makes me smile hugely.

Third news - went to unpack glass stuff today at the shop I am affiliated with. It was a stressful moment when the owner and a good friend argued and the friend left in a huff. I cannot help but cringe at conflict. Got a lot unpacked. Brought some stuff home to redo and to re-enforce. The day ended horribly. There was a call to the shop. Someone we've all known for quite a while at the faire (but only know first names for most players) who worked closely with the pickle goddess died of a stroke yesterday. When she didn't show on Sunday everyone got worried so Kathy, the pickle goddess, called Stephany's parents. They found her in her bathroom unconscious Sunday afternoon. They rushed her to the hospital. She was in ICU but died on Wednesday evening. She was 39. My heart weeps.

Sorry for the sad note but I want her remembered. She was always nice to me. God hold you safe in his/her arms forever, Stephany.
