Scattered updates

I went to work today. Crazy as it seemed, it helped.

Major updates are:
1. Scott's son found out today.
2. Scott's body will be donated to a medical university. Or, as I prefer to joke, my brother is finally going to college!
3. I picked up Karina last night and we are heading to my parents tomorrow after I vote. She will spend the rest of the week with them. My mom needs her.
4. I am making a cardiologist appt today. My brother and my mom have the same heart condition, which is hereditary. Scott was in relatively good shape. I want to rule it out for me.
5. My friend Jana asked me about the memorial service. Despite never meeting my brother or family, she was going to drive 100 miles to share her condolences...for me. She is just one of several friends that I am lucky enough to call my "chosen family."
