Life update (Also known as the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly)

The good, the bad, and the ugly report here. :)

The good: Mikey's home for the week on vacation, and there's all sorts of not getting things done these first couple of days while the resonating cry of "Frankie say Relax!" rings throughout the apartment. Silliness must now abound, for there is much work to be done later in the week!

The bad: While news from Tennessee has not gotten any worse, it hasn't gotten much better, and the most recent holding pattern update I got had my brother still heavily medicated and not able to work. My sis-in-law is trying to keep my nephew from making too early an appearance, and Mom's got the community cold and is just plain exhausted.

The ugly: I'm in the process of getting a referral to an orthopedist for the foot as it's not healed yet and still swollen. Sucks to be me, and I miss the treadmill. :(

Still, we're in good spirits for the most part here, because no matter how frustrating the circumstances seem to be at the moment, we've got each other, and that's a lot. I'm grateful for what we do have. :)
