I came home to find that [livejournal.com profile] boogiebabe_smap's mother had died, there was a leak in the basement that had ruined some things I was storing, the garage door opener sensor has had a nervous breakdown, and that after three pre-trip calls to customer service, Visa had flagged every charge while travelling as "suspicious."

So right now I've got to make condolence calls, find the plumber's number, figure out who can deal with the garage, yell at Visa, pay the mortgage, and otherwise take care of business. There will be a detailed series of trip reports later today; right now I've got to worry about Smap and my house and my money, in that order.

This is your post to catch me up on what's been happening in LJ-land since last Wednesday afternoon, which is when I went offline. Any news in your life I should know? Any good fic? (I hear there's been a tsunami of Jack/Ianto - what's good?) Any updates on your own fic, [livejournal.com profile] wendymr, [livejournal.com profile] dark_aegis, [livejournal.com profile] spiderine, etc?

Yup. Life After's been posted up to Chapter 6. Or you can find it on my account on Teaspoon.

My condolences on everything.

Thanks on both counts. Trying to catch up with everything is almost more exhausting than the trip!

Sympathies on the home-woes, and please pass my condolences on to Smap -- I suspect reading her email is the very last thing on her mind right now.


Visa is usually pretty good about overseas billing, but occasionally they get twitchy. Especially post-December. Still, better that than them being totally asleep at the wheel! (I call as a courtesy, but I think they wouldn't blink if charges started coming from Katmandu, at this point...)

I will give Visa this, the charges went through when it was important. (Although I had my AmEx with me just in case.) Still, it was awfully annoying.

Welcome back!!!

Sorry to hear about the bad news on several fronts. :(

::Points up at what Laura said regarding Visa.::

If nothing else, point me in their direction and I'll get the Bitchslap of Doom out of the garage.

Too dangerous to be stored in the house? :>

Welcome back to reality. Sucks at times, doesn't it?

At least it's stopped raining, though I hear a rumor of snow flurries this afternoon.

Snow? Is it that cold out? I didn't think it was.

Good to see you arrived home safely. Sorry to hear about your troubles, hope it all works out?

I see you made it home okay too. Nobody on strike, then?

Things will always work out in the long run. Smap I'm worried about - everything else is just a paycheck and a repairman away from being dealt with.

I forgot we're Germans. Things like strikes have to be discussed, thought and voted about before anything happens. At the moment they're still discussing it. And I'm home, so I don't care anymore ;)

*snicker* That's the important thing.

Your mother happy that you weren't axe murdered? :>
