Well I left work just in time yesterday to go see my mom in the hospital. I'd had not luck getting through to Rob after Monday early evening when they still didn't know anything. I called and left messages for two days but luckily I got out in time to go to the hospital for a little bit before their visiting hours ended.

She looked better and was actually making sense which was an improvement. She told me what was going on and that they'd spent two days telling her that she could go home that day and then she told me that they said that they wanted to to keep her that night as well atleast because they wanted to check into an infection that popped up. Since it isn't about me really I hestitate to go too into what's going on (although I may ask her if I can get her permission to get more explicit) but there were atleast two different things going on. She is going to need atleast a minor surgical procedure although it could turn out to be less minor which she will find out from a doctor sometime before Christmas. They want her to get it A.S.A.P. but she is going to check with the specialist and weight the pros and cons of having it done before Christmas as opposed to getting it done very shortly after Christmas. Either way it looks like she'll be here and at Uncle John's on Christmas and that's important enough!

Not a whole lot else has gone on. We've been contacted about playing another show! Perhaps more than one in January. The production company that does the booking for a particular venue was tipped off by the band that played last at our previous show. They said that we were amazing...and now..with no apparent concern for any type of return they put our name in with the company to get us booked. I told them that we may have to make it later than that because we still have no drummer but that we definitely want to keep in very close contact to be able to play as soon as we have a new drummer and they're prepared. I posted to Craigslist again but was less "demanding" in the post about availability and all that. Here's praying!

Looks like I'll be resting tomorrow evening, band practice early Saturday morning and hopefully we'll be going to see my paternal grandparents since we somehow haven't gotten to see them and we've tried since my birthday in May! I will be driving Jenn ( invisibleinkling ) to the maill pretty early Sunday morning and I am going to drive around before the Eagles game trying to buy half of the smaller items that I need to buy yet. I still want to buy two slightly higher priced items for my mom but after that it's all small stuff. Then I need to wrap it all. Next week i will probably shop on Saturday evening (as much fun as that will be) to that week's check to finish up my shopping!

I am soooo excited for Christmas! Still no confirmation as to our days off yet but I think that we'll have off on Christmas Monday and Christmas New Years Day. So we'll have 2 consecutive 3-day weekends which should be pretty nice. I wish that they'd throw us atleast one more "holiday" as it would be a paid day off! But I'll find out whenever they make the announcement. i was expecting it to be much, much sooner as we knew when we'd have off for Thanksgiving atleast a month in advance. Oh well.

That's about it for now. Have Christmas memory stuff to post about but that can wait til some point this weekend. I'd like that thank all of you who wished my mom well. It means a lot to me! Have a great night, an excellent day and an awesome beginning to a incredible weekend!

Goodnight.

Yay Christmas. :)
