••• First of all, THANK YOU SO MUCH for all the well wishes you sent my way since my last entry, both here and on Facebook. It was a tough time for all of us, so all your comments really helped, and I appreciate that.

So...stuff's been happening. On the minus side, seeing my dad's mother for the first time since she was admitted to the nursing home a couple of weeks ago -- rail thin, in a wheelchair, easily confused, hardly talking -- was rough. ( Cut for somewhat depressing details :( )

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!  Or a great holiday weekend if you don't celebrate it.  ^_^;  Mine went very well, all things considered.  First of all, the most important part: the stuff I got!

I wasn't intending this to be my 500th post on LJ, but I guess this is good enough. ^_^

A brief rundown of stuff that's happened since I last wrote something here:

• The freak late October snowstorm that dumped a huge amount of snow in Connecticut and put at least 60% of the state without power. Thankfully we didn't lose power or cable this time, ( Read more... )
