Figured that was appropo for the Halloween weekend.

I'm still alive, but have been subjected to weirder than usual happenings in the real world. I'm still rather busy at work with stuff. I didn't take the job offer I got in August, mainly because they won't commit with a start date at all. So I'm still at the motel, hating it, but I have a job!

I'm ready for October to be a dark, distant memory. It's not been the greatest month. On the 13th, my brother got hit by a SUV while crossing the street in front of our house. He did have a bit of a skull fracture and has a huge gash in his forehead, but other than that nothing major. Knee's a bit messed up and lots of scrapes elsewhere. But he's up & around and back to normal... for him. XD

Then my mom had shoulder surgery on the 26th. It didn't go as smoothly as she hoped, and she's been in a lot of pain. She ended up unable to walk the other night. (Yeah... shoulder surgery. Go figure.) And she's got pneumonia on top of it. She's in the hospital now, so she's getting some great care.

So, as you can see, I've been running pretty much full tilt the past couple weeks. But I did get to see something truly incredible today. My oldest brother & his wife stopped by the house and had a couple ultrasound pictures of their impending granddaughter. These were pictures of her face! I have never seen anything like them. Of course, I'm now even more excited for the baby to come.

Laters!
