I've been a bit absent over the last week or two. Absent here and in social media. I have been spending a lot of time with family. Not just my kids and husband, but grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc. We were delivered some tough news. The kind of news that makes you reflect and make time for what is important.

Can we take a moment to appreciate how annoying the hiccups are? It is late. It is always late, because we don't go to bed like normal people. In fact, it is pushing midnight as I write this. So it was late and I climbed into bed hiccups and all. I'm laying there, thoroughly annoyed (but lazy) hiccuping ...
