Thank you for the kind comments on the last entry. We're home now. Brother is doing okay; going to be in a cast for a while and healing for the next couple of months, but okay. I am... here.
I was going to try and do a proper update at some point and explain what happened and the rest of the weekend, but I don't have the brain now and I probably never will. Brains are in short supply and since "relax and enjoy myself for four days and maybe regain some spoons, since I think I'm borrowing against next year's at this point" turned into spending two days living in a fucking hospital, I don't know when I'm going to find a way to get them back.
Sorry, this is not the route this entry was supposed to take. I am trying to focus on the good, because I really just want to scream right now and I can't. But my brother is okay. The campout was nice for the one day I managed to be there. I got to meet an online friend I'd probably not ever get the chance to run into otherwise. I'm not good at not thinking about the rest of it, but I can get better at shutting up. Or maybe just go back to sleep until I can pretend, but I have to be up for work on Wednesday and it'd probably take longer than that.
