Top 5 useless facts about moi...

Nothing exciting to write about today other than the fact that Mom was given her release date last night. She will be out of the hospital in exactly one week! I think she is both excited and terrified by the thought of returning to everyday tasks, but we’ll take it one day at a time…

And now, on a far more insignificant and trivial note, I am borrowing an idea that I saw on another blog. Hey, at least I’m blogging “something”…right?
