So, these things happen...plus, a BABY SEAL!


Okay, so my mom had something really scary and bad happen, but it appears that she will recover and things should be okay. However, it's going to be a weird Christmas, since she might still be in the hospital on Christmas day! And we all know how my mother feels about Christmas. Darn that congestive heart failure.

I shouldn't joke, but this is what my people do to cope. Humor = best defense mechanism ever. I will be taking a lengthy sabbatical in San Luis Obispo to help take care of my mom starting tomorrow.

I wish I could bring this snowy little seal along with me! I would wrap it in a blanket and sneak it into the hospital, like Lucy snuck that wheel of cheese onto the train by pretending it was a swaddled baby.

Come on, you know you remember that episode.

I wish is could remember that episode, I am afraid I don't know ILL that well.

I'm glad to hear that your sabbatical is on and your moms is recovering.
