hurtling from chaos to chaos

everything was going well until about 11am.   Then the shit hit the fan.  Grief at work and an SOS call from my one of Step bros alerting me that my Dad was in a real bad way.     I immediately abandoned ship and sped off to the oldsters.   
I can't be bothered to go into details but my Dad is kind of okay now and not in hospital.     
Oddly, the only person who seems  happy with me right now is my StepM. I got a hug... the first ever and she has been married to my Dad for 20 years and on the scene for about 22 years. 

Thankfully I have what is required to obliterate all thoughts from my head tonight.
