kukla_tko | Wow, Universe. Really?

Remember that weird luck thing I have?
The one where the universe says, "Oh, you poor dear. Look at all that crap that landed on you. Here, have a cookie."

In the midst of all the arranging that needed to happen so I could go out of town, I got a call from my S.O.

There is news. He is released from his current facility in late June. He is to go to a rehabilitation facility southwest of St. Louis at that time, until his final release date in September.

As for how he was going to get from where he is now (Louisiana) to that facility... well, there were questions.

It turns out that one of the options is to have someone pick him up.

I'm someone.

I GET TO PICK HIM UP AT THE END OF JUNE AND TAKE HIM ON A 14 HOUR ROAD TRIP, JUST THE TWO OF US.

That news cheered me up considerably, and I had already been discussing the dates with the other instructor at my job so that I could take that Monday off. I plan to drive down partway on Sunday, spend the night in a cheap motel, then drive the rest of the way down on Monday and spend the night in town.
On Tuesday I'd pick him up, then head straight back home.
Cue the OMG dance. I may take a week of vacation to do this. We'll see.
I might take up a collection instead. I had to burn one of my weeks for the current family emergency.
