Not permanently, but for an indefinite time period, probably extending through the holiday season.
On Tuesday, shortly after I wrote that last post, I received a phone call informing me that my 95-year-old mother had fallen and injured herself. Evaluation at the University Hospital here confirmed that she fractured her humerus when she landed on her elbow, driving the shaft into the head at an angle. She is now stable in an assisted living facility, but this combined with her dementia results in a variety of medical and social needs that require my attention.
I may pop back here every now and then to do a linkdump as a mental health break for myself, but I just can't justify spending hours per day blogging as I have in recent years.
Bye for now...
