Trying to pack but the Pack Interferes

[linaewen]

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.

thanks for posting about your Pa

I should have put him at the top! But thanks for reading in spite of that. ;-)

From what my brother says, he's doing well, has his energy back. It was one of those things that came on suddenly, and could have been very bad if it hadn't been caught, but because it was, all is well. PTL!

We might actually get to Dad's house before he gets out of the hospital! I'm not sure he'll be up to going to church that evening, though -- especially if it's bad weather. We'll see. We might not be able to stop him, hehe!

Bet you any money he'll be gloating because he managed to get a hospital stay in before the end of the year. He's snarky like that. :-)

Best of happiest holidays to you, my twin!

I'm so glad to hear that your father is doing better and will be home for Christmas. What a relief for you!

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a blessed year in 2009.

It was one of those things that came on suddenly, and could have been very bad if it hadn't been caught, but because it was, all is well. For which we are very thankful! Christmas Eve can proceed as planned, though I'm thinking we might have to hold him back from going to church Wednesday night, if he's just barely out of the hospital.

Blessings to you, my dear, during the holidays and throughout 2009!!

I'm glad to hear your Dad should be sprung in time to celebrate Christmas at home! That is great news. :)

I can't believe there aren't a fair number of Packers fans proudly living in enemy territory. As enthusiastic as Cheesheads tend to be, I suspect they all do their best to attend every Packers/Bears game, so you should be in good company.
