Still Around
Sorry for my absence, but it's been a little....interesting around here. Mike's been sick with a cold, WildChild's been spending extra time here, and I'm starting my second round of antibiotics for a sinus infection that just will not go away. And my parents were in a car accident last week. They're ok, mostly just shaken up I reckon. Or as my sis put it, they weren't seriously hurt, it mostly just scared the shit out of both of them. Getting t-boned will do that to you, I imagine, especially at their age. Even though it was by all accounts a low-speed accident.
We're also waiting to find out whether or not my mom needs hip replacement surgery (not related to the accident). God help us all if she does. She's not, shall we say, the most cooperative patient. And we've been taking advantage of the nice weather (it's supposed to be 83 degrees today, can you believe that?) to work on cutting up & burning a big pile of dead branches the previous owner so considerately left for us to deal with. You'd be surprised how much brush one can burn in a chimenea.
So there you go. That's where I've been. And things should start calming down soon & get back to normal....like today maybe. Before I lose what freaking little mind I have left.

Not to worry. We'll keep the lights on for ya.

Sorry you've been going through a rough patch. Don't you feel like going to bed and staying there until you get the "all clear" signal?
