Trying to pack but the Pack Interferes

You know, it's really hard to concentrate on packing to travel home for the holidays when there's a Packers/Bears game on TV.  Especially when we never expected to be able to see it televised -- but I guess because it's a Bears home game, it's on network TV locally.  Cool!  I actually considered buying tickets to this one, since it's next to impossible to get tickets to a Packer game -- but we couldn't afford it.  And also, it would be rather cold in the stands today!  Next year, maybe I'll save up my pennies and do it!  The thought of being a Packer fan in the midst of enemy territory sounds kind of fun.

Anyway, so far so good in the game.  From our POV, anyway!  The Packers have nothing really to play for except a moral victory at this point, but that's a good enough reason to play well.  They haven't won yet, though, so I guess I won't count my footballs before they are in the end zone.

Anyway, back to packing.

ETA:  Here's a Dad update.  He had a blood infection, which is responding to treatment, so he's being released on Wednesday.  Just in time to celebrate Christmas Eve, yay!

ETA #2:  Overtime FAIL -- drat.  :-(  Oh, well.
