Don passed away Saturday. He left peacefully after spending his last weeks surrounded by the love of his family.  He’s going to be so missed. I think - hope - his son Andrew is going to move up to Shreveport from Alexandria, where he lives now, and enroll in college here.  More on this later as developments, um, develop. :P

Saturday night I came down with a gastrointestinal  yuckiness that is just now beginning to subside. I’ve been out of work two days so far and - per the doctor - have to stay home tomorrow too. I went up to my office for awhile this evening and brought home a stack of work. One, I am just about done with lying on the couch. Two, I have too damn much work to do. Anyway. Joey now has the affliction and so I expect to be taking care of him tomorrow too. We saw the doctor today, and she said that this has been spreading through town like wildfire and generally lasts three to four days. So, yay, there’s the rest of my week: sick husband. At least AB seems to have dodged the bullet. I suspect that she brought this home from Mimi’s and just bore it a lot better than us.

I need to update my 101 Things progress and completions. Hmm, maybe I’ll do that tomorrow. Right now I’m gonna post a recipe for my mom and then hit the hay.
