Family Situation Means Tomorrow's Rant Will Be Delayed (Again).. And I Do Need A Vacation!

I cannot believe the string of bad luck I have been having... My better half went through a really tough and brutal sickness last week and finally was on the road to recovery by the end of the week, when yesterday another crisis hit..My 87 year old mother got up very late on Friday evening, probably to use the bathroom, and fell over hard breaking her hip bone...  Luckily she was carrying a "life alert" unit and paramedics were alerted almost instantly to her situation and they arrived shortly after the incident and took her to the local hospital... I was alerted within hours of the situation and I spent some time yesterday visiting her before she went into an operation to fix her broken hip bone.... The operation was a success and she will be at the hospital for at least the next week before being sent home to hopefully heal...I will be spending some time tomorrow of course visiting her at the hospital, and as a result I will be definitely delayed once again in getting tomorrow's rant out.....I have indeed been having one heck of a string of bad luck these last few weeks, with one issue and  family problem after another...... I decided yesterday that to keep my own sanity, I do need a vacation.....Yes, I will definitely be taking a vacation starting next Saturday, the 24th of March.... It is long overdue and I do plan to not write at this blog for at least a week.....  And I do not need to worry about my mother, for I am expecting that my other family members will be able to look after her needs...Thanks everyone for understanding.. I absolutely do need a vacation!More to comeNTS
