Just a quick note to explain the last week or so: my Uncle died suddenly, which was a surprise despite his being ill the last few years, and so my mom's trip to visit was canceled--just as she arrived at the airport up here--so that she could return to support her sister through this devastating loss. A big shout-out to Granny Quinn for helping out during the initial chaos; you are a true friend!
About the same time, we got word that my mother-in-law needs rather emergency eye surgery, for glaucoma-like symptoms have built up in her eye since her last eye surgery (Lambeth, I know that will sound familiar.) That surgery is tomorrow.
So, instead of a happy, fun-filled visit, we had some tears, worries, and Mama under the weather with a head cold--though at least my back is giving me no more trouble, another quite unexpected happening, and I am pretty much back to normal, cautiously optimistic.
And we went to see Thor Ragnorak as compensation, which we really thoroughly enjoyed.
Plus, happy birthday to my sister, Aunt Banana!
Yes, I want to arrive at the crem to the sound of 'Dance of the galloping major' and go out of sight to 'The flight of the bumble bee'
