Gack. I haven't updated for a while. My mom is out of the hospital. It turns out that she was taking naproxen for hip pain, and the naproxen damaged her esophagus and upper stomach, and that's what was causing the pain. The damage is supposed to heal as long as she doesn't take more naproxen. So it was a very happy ending.

We had planned for Mom to come down here on Easter, stay through Wednesday, and we would go up to Chicago on Thursday and stay through Sunday morning. Well, it's been quite a saga confirming our plans. First, mom didn't feel well enough to come after she got out of the hospital (not surprisingly). Then she decided that she could come, so I went looking for a pet sitter. No pet sitter in Lincoln. I called about boarding the cats, but it would cost $30 a day, and the cats would hate it. So I decided that I couldn't go. Then one of my co-workers said that her nephew could pet sit, and they were going to stop by work on Friday night. Then he couldn't come by because he had family plans, so they're going to stop by my place on Monday. I finally told my mom to come, assuming that it will all work out. But what a cliffhanger. My mom and I have been talking every night for much of the week, so I was joking that we might not have anything to say to each other.

I'm working an event in Chicago next week, which triggered the plan to go to Chicago. it's in a fairly ritzy suburb, which is a good demographic for Younique. Wish me luck.

I'm scrambling because I need to clean this pit of a place before my mom comes. I'm also working tomorrow because I don't have enough vacation time to do the trip. (I might work some today and some tomorrow to take a break from cleaning.) And I need to get organized for the trip and make some samples for the event. So...BREATHE. Much craziness. Zara is squeaking for some attention though, so I must obey.

Must remember to stop by the hardware store tomorrow and have keys made. Or maybe I should run out tonight in case they're closed tomorrow.

Never mind. Found the keys that I had made a while back. And they work.
