It's been awhile since I posted ...
My mom is still in the hospital. She went into the hospital on July 2 -- I think she had about a week in late July when she was home, but went back to the ER with stomach pains and has been moving between ICU and Intermediate Care ever since. She's been in the hospital so long that she has to do rehab/physical therapy before she can go home. I am being pragmatic and optimistic -- because really, what other choice is there? Break down? Not an option.
It's sort of funny that other than my mom's illness, things are really good. Erik and I had a fantastic vacation in DC at the beginning of this month (I got to meet Josh and Saram!! Finally!!!). He is in Canada now and will be doing next month in Vegas. I have settled into my latest promotion and am getting to spearhead some good projects. I forsee another move up the ladder before too long.
The Cheerleaders have decided that Halloween will be our final show with the Flametrick Subs. It's been fantastic, hilarious, and wonderful to work with them ... but all of us have so much going on in our lives, we just devote enough time to the regular performances. We're not breaking up and neither is the band!! We will still be the Cheerleaders and we'll still perform. October 5th will be our last show at Beerland, so be there or be square. And Halloween is going to be a free-for-all.
So yeah. Change. Good thing.
Of final note, I got a new tattoo on Friday. For those of you who don't knit, "K2P2" stands for "knit two, purl two" -- it's how you make ribbing.
