My phone has been blowing up in all the best ways today.
Jen’s been out of extended-care ICU for about 3- 4 weeks and has been recovering at home. Since she’s been awake and out of the regular ICU, she’s not wanted visitors, so we’ve only gotten updates from her husband and sisters.
Today, she’s finally got enough dexterity back in her hands to start using her phone again and joined our group chat!!
Also, we finally got an answer to “what the fuck happened?” and I’ve been authorized to share the following:
Jen: Got downed by choking on a grape. That’s what started this whole thing 😩
Me: LOL. The one time you ate a grape instead of drinking them from a box.
Jen: I know right?? Only liquid grapes from now on
So, she’s definitely still all there (which wasn’t a given when this all went down), is in good spirits, and doing better.
Also, I guess this community can stay open. I’ve had to leave dubvee partially online in a parking orbit in order to do development on Tesseract, so I guess c/30Rock can keep on going.
Also also, if you see any grapes, give them a good squish and let them know who the dominant life form is.


Choking while alone is terrifying.
Very much so.
