I'm sorry if I have been posting too much about this lately. My uncle is back in the hospital again this morning. This time pneumonia and a temperature of 104. I'm really worried about him. I'm very worried about him, and my aunt and cousins who are very stressed out and barely speaking to each other at this point.
WRT to Christmas, which was supposed to be at my aunt's. We're now headed to Mom's instead of my aunt's, which means I have to rush to finish what I was going to spend today leisurely doing, drive to Mom's, and probably be a little late coming home for Christmas day with TCG's family, which is back here. TCG is unhappy, and I think I'm going to have an anxiety attack. Sorry to be so mememe.
it's not. sorry your uncle got sick again.
Oh sj, I'm so sorry. My best wishes to you and your family.
So sorry, sj. Lots of ~ma for your uncle.
I'm so sorry about the stress on top of stress, sj. Much ~ma for you and yours.
SJ, tons of comfort ~ma for you and yours. Hopefully traffic is kind, so you aren't too late to the TCG family festivities. I would think they would forgiving of tardiness. If not, give em coal!
I'm so sorry sj. I echo o_a's wishes for comfort ~ma to you and yours.
Thanks everyone. Your support makes everything a little easier. It is going to be very strange not to be with my whole family on Christmas Eve, but at least my uncle seems to be stabilized for now. I have now baked brownie, baked ricotta cookies, and made the sugar free peppermint bark. Now I need to glaze the ricotta cookies, make the sugary peppermint bark, pack, and finish wrapping gifts.
So for today, I've made an enormous pot of chicken veg stew...visited with some of my favorite neighborhood buds and...nothing else!
Blergh. I so wanted to be more motivated this weekend.
Oh, and I treated myself to a nice manicure. It really is pretty.
We gave up on going to the beach tonight. We finished baking and we're watching Love Actually while finishing up wrapping. We'll head out early tomorrow instead.
