I've been battling allergies/possible food poisoning or something else, don't know exactly what but I'm on the road to recovery. I did manage to make it up to my brother-in-law's promotional ceremony though on Thursday, and it was very nice. He is in the reserves at this time, and was promoted from Lieutenant Colonel to Colonel. Also been hanging out with the neighbors and my personal assistant, which between those things hasn't exactly allowed me much time to myself. Lol perhaps a little here and a little there. But somehow I've managed to keep slightly up to date at least. I'm happy to report that with a service like Dreamwidth, this has been a breeze.
