Heard you missed me, I'm back

First things first: Why I've been away for two months, just about.

My mom had emergency surgery July 12 to remove a small intestinal blockage (a bezoar -- Google that, y'all) and that turned out fine. No issues, really. But she's still in rehab (please, no Amy Winehouse jokes) to get strong enough to come home. Once she does come home, she'll require some sort of care during the day when I'm working. At 79, she's now too frail to stay home alone. I hate that but we knew it was in the future.

My days have been spent going to work, going to rehab for visits, coming home and going to bed and then getting up the next day to do it all over again. That's why I've not written on here in forever. It's an incredible drain, this routine, and I wish it would end soon. But I have to hang in there for as long as it takes.

I'll try to post a bit more frequently because I have missed y'all. Please send me recaps of what's been going on w/you this summer. I'd love to know.

Also, I'm now on Facebook (shut up about me having 17 blogs, Michelle, because Facebook ISN'T a blog so it doesn't count -- nyah nyah nyah NYAH nyah!) so hit a girl up there sometime, too. Friend me or whatever it is the kids are calling it these days.
