A Minor Emergency

Sorry for the lack of posts yesterday, but we were dealing with a minor family medical emergency. My mom came down with a flu (not the flu, however, whatever that means ...) on Monday evening, and by Tuesday after I'd completed my egg route we had to run her into the emergency room. We were scared to death - her temperature peaked at 104°F, and she was pretty delirious. Flu, colds and upper respiratory infections are never good things, but when you hit 81 they're really not good at all.

Mom's doing alot better. I spent most of yesterday with her and Rhiannon came up and spent the night with her last night. The cough syrup they gave her is working well, and things are clearing up. Whew!

My S-10 is in the shop today getting ready for the drive to Missouri and the Meadhall Moot, so I plan to catch up on posting and work in the barns and henhouses. Lot's of exciting stuff - if you consider chicken shit exciting!

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
