[dazed, friends]

[wispfox]

So... I just found out that my longest term friend nearly died last week, due to a nasty allergic reaction to (probably) a plant she brushed against while hiking in woods while visiting SF. I found out because I was calling to determine if I was visiting them or if (preferred) they were visiting me, on the 13th.

I have to wonder if anyone would have thought to tell me, if she hadn't survived.

Which of course, brings me to the thought that it's rather depressing that my emergency contact is still my parents.

Yeah.

[edit: As I would like to stop confusing people with my minimal reaction, I point at the 'nearly' and the 'if she hadn't survived' parts, above.]

I'm glad your friend is okay.

I wish my emergency contact were still my parents. It would mean that Dad was still alive, and that Mom was still capable.

Mine is my brother. His is my brother-out-law.

*nod* Good point, that.
