Hey all, I've been missing for the past couple of weeks due to my mom being hospitalized for pancreatitis (and then pneumonia she developed in the hospital). She's home now and slowly but surely recovering, but this is the first time I've had spare moments to check in with the board. Any spare health~ma you can direct her way would be greatly appreciated, though she does seem to be out of the woods now.

We are headed to the ER because Drew is in a lot of pain. Let it be nothing serious-ma requested.
Thanks for the -ma. It looks like it was nothing major; just something to keep an eye on. We are going to head home shortly.
Some health-ma requested for our dog, Betsy. It doesn't look all that serious, but she is eleven, and my mother is all worried. She's a great companion, though, and things are not the same when she's not well.
LA-istas I haven't yet seen: Sorry guys, I'm having to bail. I completely lost my voice last night and woke up feeling crummy, so I'm headed home today.
But I'll be back, I swears! Kristin's promised me a more thorough tour of her charming, gorgeous Pasadena and I need to see more of you and you know, I actually love LA a lot. Not as much as Seattle, mind, but a lot. So a definite sad face for not being able to see more of you, but a happy face because it gives me an excuse to come back.
Thanks for the pup-ma...while her occasional coughing fits are disturbing, it really does seem that Betsy is on the mend.
Hullo, my darlings. A treasured friend has just written her first novel, which she's classifying as Dark Fantasy with elements of Horror (yes, there be vampires; no, they don't sparkle). I know we have a number of gifted and published authors in our midst, as well as folks in publishing, and was hoping for a few recommendation for first time authors exploring publishing possibilities. Books, links, blogs, whatever.
Profile addy is good.
Tim's (aka The Boy) mother Elizabeth died this morning. Tim was with her, and it was peaceful.
Thank you all for your prayers and good thoughts. I truly believe they helped her last days be easier and peaceful.

Profile addy is good if you have questions/comments, or I'm around in Natter and Bitches. Thanks!
