Thank you.

Thank you so much for all your well wishes and hugs.
They are all very appreciated.

Last week was a blur.
I took my mom to the ER on Wednesday and that was when we heard results on her tests. She has cancer which has spread. They are starting her with meds this week, now that her acute problem has been taken care of. She is in a positive mood which is good.
As for myself, I really really really am OK.
I'm one of those lucky people who doesn't have a panic button. My bro is the same way. We are both here for her and will share duties once my mom gets home from the hospital.
But we have also made a promise that it won't and can't take over our entire lives.

Naturally I got a massive headcold last week also (in fact I was sick when I drove my mom to the ER). I spent most of the week in my jammies on the couch under a blanket (or two) watching the Olympics (good to have them on the same time zone LOL).
I did manage to take a couple shots though.

This is what happens when you have a 5 year old hairdresser-wannabe in the house...
