Made the trip to the grocery, $95.51 later I have the makings. I am never bringing the cheese plate again!!

Ouch!

Cheese is brutal. We have ONE party per year, at Christmas, and I started on the cheese plate in early September. Whenever I go to Costco, I get whatever cheese is on sale. I think I'm up to 8 kinds so far
they're in the back of the downstairs fridge so NO ONE OPENS THEM!

I got a message this morning that my mom had been admitted into the hospital. She was out having dinner with her sister and friends and according to my mom, she passed out. My mom was admitted to the hospital and several tests have been done. No diagnosis yet. I spoke with my mom very briefly earlier and my aunt filled me in. It sounds like my mom might have had a small stroke. She's currently doing OK, she had a BP spike earlier and she's on meds for that. I'm extra stressed out about this because my mom is the last of my immediate family. My brother passed away in 2011 and my dad in 2013. I'm in Denmark and my mom is in Texas, so going to visit her isn't easy. She has her sister and other family in the area. Please send some love our way. I will take some deep breaths and do the best I can to take care of myself and my family.

The BIG healing hug is for your mom, may she be all better soon.

will be wishing the best for your mom--that has to be tough to be so far away.....make sure you take care of yourself too

@Lin19687 , @Zany_in_CO and @Marilyn Norgart Thanks for your support. Last night I slept well and when I woke up this morning I had a message from my mom. Still no diagnosis yet, but she had a MRI yesterday. The nurses told her she should get a diagnosis tomorrow (or for me, later in the afternoon or evening). Fingers crossed that it's nothing serious.

Zany, I forgot to mention that my mom lives in Lufkin.

my labels were supposed to be delivered yesterday--via UPS who pawned it off on USPS. nobody knows where they are--the PO was kind enough to tell me they would be delivered on Sat though--I was so mad at that point that I couldn't even ask them how they knew they would be delivered on Sat if they didn't even know where they were. the POs tracking said they were at the PO since Monday. this isn't the first time and I had looked into having them done locally so that is what I did this morning--I think this is going to be so much less stressful for me and I wont have to order a ton just to get free shipping--plus they seem to be a bit cheaper. Plus I love being able to buy local
UPDATED: my pkg was sent to a town around 150 miles away so it has to be re-routed back to the right PO

Update: My mom was discharged from the hospital yesterday! I was out trick or treating with our youngest when she called to tell me, and I didn't get to speak with her, so I still don't know what, if any, diagnosis she was given. I'll talk to her today and get more details.

@MarnieSoapien I'm sorry you had to go through so much worry with your mom. It must be awfully hard to be so far away. I'm glad she is now home and hope she is doing well. And that you can now relax a bit.

After reading this month's challenge sign-up list, I have a certain Dead or Alive song stuck in my head for the day.....

It's totally your fault if that song stays in my head for more than a few minutes.

Wasn't me! Blame @MarnieSoapien and @Primrose !!!

Bwhahahah!! Sorry folks. There are definitely worse songs to have stuck in your head!

 

[Lin19687]

.......... Like the Band-Aid song ............


and now my gripe... I WILL have that stuck in my head for DAYS but I like it, it makes me smile

 

[Primrose]

Every time it leaves my head, I get a notification to come back to this thread hahaha

 

[Dawni]

I'm late but I hope it's nothing serious @MarnieSoapien.

Gripe: I'm too tired to even gripe

 

[MarnieSoapien]

@Dawni Thanks. My mom is at home and seems to be doing just fine. The official diagnosis was... she passed out, reasons unknown, possibly due to a small piece of plaque breaking off from an artery and briefly blocking the blood flow.

 

[Dawni]

Glad to know she's ok now. Let's hope there won't be any more blockages here on..
