Nora! I'm glad you had a good time this weekend. Welcome back.
Cindy, I'm sorry about the ducks. They were supposed to leave you alone after the big family illness.
{{{AmyLiz}}} I'm sorry about the ick being passed through your family. I hope you all feel better soon.
Ginger, I'm glad to read that your mother is better today. Continued ~ma to her.
I was going to get up early today and get moving on this day. It so didn't happen.
Bad Monday. My troubles however are small, and my boss took the day off, so I shall not gripe. Much.
Skimming can be dangerous. I was reading about Cindy's back hurting, and shoulder, and suddenly ".. trip to the butcher..." Um, just getting rid of the hurty parts is a plan, I guess!
There's nothing louder than a phone that doesn't ring.
Sing it, sister.
In further annals of Ginger's Mother's Scary Hospital Stay: She ate bacon and eggs! She walked down the hall!
Even better, they're setting her up in a rehab program for congestive heart failure, where she'll go in several times a week for exercise and diet monitoring. This is something that should have happened a long time ago.
Ginger, that sounds great! YAY! So glad to hear it!
That's wonderful, Ginger!
Ginger, that is so great. YAY Mom!

Hee. I'm already all, "Cut me, Mick!" Four Advil seems to have helped, but not enough.
sj, thanks, sweetie. Truthfully (and AmyLiz will back me up, here) even the family illness was duck stuff. It happens when you have three kids.
My aunt got good-enough news from the Oncologist, so thank you God, and yay on that. They staged the cancers at stage 2. If she were 50-ish, the Oncologist would recommend chemo, because there is a 10-15% chance it could come back in (I think my mother said) 10-15 years.
My aunt is 74 years old. The Oncologist said she's not discriminating against my aunt based on age, but that age and physical condition factor in when they make these decisions, because of how chemo beats up the body -- which makes total sense.
My aunt *so* didn't want chemo. I can't even begin to tell you. So this news is good enough. They got all the cancer. There's not a huge chance of it coming back any time soon. She'll have a follow up in three months.

I still say the ducks need to leave you alone. Yay, for your aunt! That's very good news.
So glad that Ginger and Cindy's phones rang with some good news!
Gronk. I think I need more coffee. I just walked across the street for an early lunch, thinking, "I should see if food will up my blood sugar enough to avoid coffee!"
Yeah. NSM. Gronkified.
