Good news, I guess - my mom got discharged from the hospital. I say "I guess" because she's not exactly back to normal. She still seems to have a bit of that vicious streak she demonstrated at the hospital. Not that she's attacked anyone, but still... Kinda weird. My sister and I were also hoping to use the opportunity of her being in the ( Read more... ) -
Sad but okay.
Well, that's that.
Gremlin died peacefully tonight in my lap at about 9:15 or so. It went just as well as I could have hoped - no theatrics except for my own waterworks.

I mentioned that my Grandma turned 100 a few weeks ago, right? Yep, sho nuff. Relatives came to the celebration in Tennessee from as far away as L.A. and Spain, and everywhere in between. Even a historian from the area where my Grandma grew up (Langley, B.C.) came out to visit. They've been pen-pals for about 12 years now, but this was the ( Read more... )
