Probably final pre-Christmas update...

Got to parent's okay, went to visit my mother in hospital today- looks like she'll be in hospital over Christmas, as there's some stuff they have to do regarding her broken heel, and an infection.

So, looks like at least part of Christmas Day will be spent in the hospital. Blech.

ANyway, in case I don't get a chance to say it nearer the time, Merry Christmas to all of you, and have a good time.
