Pulled Off the 80th Celebration of Mimi Sue, But Someone Need to Come & Get Butch Who Has Been Blubbering All Day (Who is this Man?)

Early morning Cat scans with Butch this morning (but we got him to take a bath and he loved watching all of mom's birthday wishes. Made the cake, as I do, and also a sausage tortellini soup, all the while I've been sneezing like a madman...even bought some Mucinex to help keep my brain in the drylands.

It was wonderful waking up at 6 a.m. and coming out to my mom pop-eyeing her iPad to see the wishes that were coming her way. I didn't anticipate the documentary going over so well, but that brought the most joy ("Hey, I've lived quite an interesting life, haven't I?"

One birthday, a holiday, and another birthday to go. With tissues of course. 

I suppose I now need to start thinking about Christmas shopping, but really I just want to get dad to the doctors and, perhaps, come home for more sleep...it's the only way to dry up a cold.

And I caught the Louisville/Pitt game in Syracuse - final four...not sure where my head is with this because it's too stuffed up at the moment and I have to have dad at North Med by 8:15.
