Big Drive...Again

I mentioned in an earlier blog that my Mom has become, in the nurse's words, a bit more "stable" in the last week or so. She's got a little bit of an apetite and been trying to drink some more and her vitals are...well, stable...I guess.

What that means is that I feel okay about stealing a week back in Big D. I'll return to Birmingham next Thursday, but for today I'll drive through Tuscaloosa, Meridian, Jackson, Vicksburg, Monroe, Shreveport, Longview, Tyler, Dallas and on through to Flower Mound.

And, I'll be back in my own bed tonight.

That thought alone makes me happy.
