Off to Pittsburgh

So I'm off to Pittsburgh tomorrow. Mom had surgery yesterday and I'll be helping her husband Dennie keep her company for the next few days. When I talked to her today, she was pretty drugged up. It's weird because my mom hardly ever drinks. I'm not used to her slurring her words and having trouble standing up. It was kind of frightening. I could be in for quite a weekend. I'm not sure I'm up to helping her bathe or anything.

More frightening is that I will be without broadband for... like... days. Cable but no Tivo. Ack. And no kitties!
