New posts will be HERE until I have access to a real computer again. Blogging with WebTV is too much of a pain in the butt that there's no way I can maintain 2 blogs right now. That and the fact that I have to fight my mother for online time. ;)

NEWSFLASH: The label on the darvocet says every SIX hours, not every FOUR hours. *sigh* That explains a lot.

And, it was me od'ing on darvocet, not my mom. She can read. But at least I got to sleep even though the humidity is 9,000% -- or thereabouts.

I'm going to be gone for a while. I'm not really sure how long though. My mom is in the hospital and, seeing as my brother who lives in Boston and my sister who lives near Cleveland can't seem to free up their schedules to go help her, I'm going to make the 2-day+16-hour bus trip from Bakersfield to Pennsylvania to make sure she's ok. I was going to go in 3 weeks anyway and stay for a couple weeks. But now, who knows how long I'll be there? Talking to Mom on the phone doesn't really tell me anything. One minute she sounds ok, the next minute she's so out of breath she can barely talk. I'm hoping the doctor knows something by later today so my imagination isn't running wild during the bus trip.

Why am I taking the bus? I'm a chicken! I don't want to be anywhere near LAX. I hate flying in the first place and LAX just scares the crap outta me right now.

Why may I not be blogging for a while? Mom has WebTV. Although she calls it her computer (She's 74 so it's cute, don't you think?) it doesn't quite cut it. Know what I mean? Also, as far as I know, you can post to Blogger using WebTV, but can't publish. Maybe Nick will be nice and get in here and publish for me. *s*

Note to Nick: I'm sorry about the Joey Bear obsession.

Anyway, This is our ninth full day of being non-smokers and it hasn't been easy. Yesterday when I found out Mom was in the hospital was the worst day of all. But I made it. Yay me!

Note to Steve: If you happen to read this, see ya in BFD? I'll email you with the new WebTV addy I'm going to create.

Well, I guess that's it for now. Don't forget me while I'm gone, ok?

This won't make headlines, but it's news here. Nick and I have officially been non-smokers for more than 24 hours. This time, it hasn't been as bad as we thought it would be. I really think we're going to do it this time and, surprisingly, I feel good about it. I'm a little scared, mostly of failure, but for the most part, I'm happy with the decision. I'm sure my mother will be thrilled when I hug her in 31 days (yep, I'm going back East for a few days) and I don't reek of smoke.
