The crabby thing is that next week we're throwing a colleague a baby shower on Wednesday, then we have parent/teacher interview night on Thursday, and then a celebration for a successfully commencement on Friday. Three late nights in a row, two of which are work related. :bleh:

That sucks.... :bleh:

OT: THink I have Wyn-chans syndrome of being the only one online.

Back from another long day: my sister-in-law had her mom brought back home today... Like Edward Kennedy's brain cancer, it's terminal.

She was up and about only a month ago, with no apparent signs of illness, and now she's practically bedridden... I wonder how aware she is of her situation... :sweat:

So incredibly sad. :puppydog:

CAncer is so ruthless. :shakehead:

No, my other sister-in-law.

I can't possibly imagine what her mom is going through or what her mom could possibly be thinking.

We all just feel so helpless. :puppydog:

My best wishes for all of them. I hope it is as easy as possible on her Mom as it can be.

I'm sure they're trying to make things as comfortable for her... But it's all they can do... :(

It's Thanksgiving Weekend here.

Yesterday was mom's birthday, so I did the thanksgiving then. I was cooking all morning and hosting all evening.

Today we went to Dorset (3 hour drive one way) to get some good photo-ops of fall leaves. I'm back to dress for a dinner at a cousin's house. I have about two hours.

Tomorrow is actual thanksgiving day, but I'm hoping I won't have to go anywhere. I haven't gotten to my school work yet. :sweat:

It's a terrible feeling, because there's nothing we can do but be the pillar of strength. :patpat:

Nothing like a nice, relaxing 3-day weekend eh? :beaten: [/list:u]

That's enough. Im sure she appreciates all that is being done for her. KNowing how much people care is the key thing I believe.

The life cycle moves inexorably on........ :(

@Wyn-chan- Sounds like a family holiday
Not a vacation. ;)

@AD- Well it will be good to see you posting more again... :hehe: :hug:

Thanks, Musa.

So yesterday at Dorset I climbed the tower, which holds over 200 steps, I'm guessing. But I did this right after jumping out of the car in which I was sitting - cramped - for nearly three hours.

So I wake up this morning and my legs climb! I struggle going up and down stairs, sitting down and and standing up, and just walking in general. :shamefulcry:

Hmm, you'd think all that treadmill walking would've prepped you for the tower... :sweat:

I tried massaging myself, but it hurt too much!

You know, right? All our legs hurt, and we're all treadmill junkies. The only way I can explain it is that we didn't stretch before doing the stairs after sitting still for 3 hours. :sweat:
