Hi everyone! Yes, I've been AWOL again. Still planning to update the roll call in the near future. Please be sure you've completed the sign-up form (link on Page 1). We also have a couple more activities to add to Page 1, which I will get posted as soon as the organizers give me the info.
Just so you know, my dad, who lives in Orlando, is pushing 90 and has Parkinson's, among other things. My mom passed away last year (coming up on the anniversary of that) and he's having a tough time dealing with that on top of his physical issues. So I try to get down there once a month or so, to give my brother and sister-in-law a break from care-taking duties and give him some company. Unfortunately, the internet at his house is turn-of-the-century, so I don't use it much.
We've also had two dog surgeries (one an emergency for which we had to drive two hours to the closest veterinary school), a knee injury (mine), friends who had a house fire a couple of weeks ago, and miscellaneous other fun stuff. Good news is, the one pup has recovered, the second is on the mend, my knee is better (so I can get back to training for my first 5K on Sept 1), and the friends are getting their house back together (no injuries in the fire, thank goodness).
Sooooo, anyway... I'm heading back to Dad's right after the 5K - I want to be with him on the anniversary of Mom's passing - but I'm hoping to get things updated before then. Thanks for your patience!
