Just a quick update, as I really don't want to just completely throw in the towel here.

Dad's had a bit of go lately - a couple of stints in emerg., etc. Initially, was frightened that the huge mass he had in his abdomen might've been more of the dreaded C...thankfully, it doesn't appear to be the case. Nevertheless, his much anticipated hip replacement surgery scheduled for the end of September was put on hold indefinitely as he requires more "emergency" type surgery to clear up the bowling ball on his gut.

The kids are great. I'm still unemployed, meaning we're nearly homeless. Went for an interview last week - really felt I connected with the women who interrogated me but apparently they don't want old gals whose greatest skill is baking banana bread either. Have to update - am not proficient in Word, Excel, Power Point or Cantonese, but man, I whip up some mean fajitas! Hope you're all well...miss you dearly. Will try and make the rounds later but, according to today's schedule*, no promises...

*Today's schedule:

-This
-Drive Fiona to Surrey
-Walk the dog (we've kidnapped the ex's lab again)
-Cut Dad's grass
-Pick up Linds and deposit her at her point B
-Rush home to start dinner
-Pick Linds up from B and deliver her to C
-Laundromat (maybe, although I'll likely saw screw it and wear mismatched socks again)
-Something else that I know I'm forgetting
