Life is hard. Eat chocolate!

I think I am quite ready for some seclusion from the world.  Spending the last few weeks in the bosom of my family has made me crave being a hermit.  

My dad flew up from Florida last week, and my sister flew down from Seattle.  It was the first time my family has all been together since 2001.  It would have been great if my brother hadn't ended up in the hospital.  Food poisoning, apparently.   He should be released tomorrow, just in time to say good bye to my dad, as my sister flew back today.  I've been designated errand girl, which hasn't left much time for job searching.  I have to really go back to that in earnest after my dad leaves and my brother is all right.  

elayna88 Thank you so much for the card.  It brightened my day immeasurably, it truly did.  Thank you. 

I hope everyone else is doing well.  Have I missed anything important the past week?

I'm sorry you're having a rough time. I hope your brother will get well soon.

Thanks, hon. He was released from the hospital, but my mom and his girlfriend came down with the same thing, so we are thinking that perhaps it wasn't food poisoning but some kind of bug. *Shudder* Thank Heaven I escaped it!

Oh my goodness! :(

I hope you get your peace and solitude back soon. I know how exhausting it can be without it.

Thanks, sweetie. My peace has been restored, though I've been playing nurse to my family since my mom and brother's girlfriend came down with the same thing, only not so bad. Ugh. I think I'll remain in my apartment and write about hobbits for a bit.
