...why yes, I can!
Pacatrue, the world's best Professor Alpaca, suggested we look back to 2008. We'll be spending some time over at Evil Editor and putting up some 2008-related posts - I'll put up a list of who's participating later. In the meantime, back in 2008, it turns out that I'd just come out of hospital after a minor operation - and family disasters, rather than writing were on my mind... Anybody remember this? Posted November 14, 2008:
"Here, but owie. Post surgery not quite as awful as I had thought, but a bit tired and sore now and mostly located in bed/on sofa. Got home from hospital yesterday; within a few hours mother-in-law had a fall and is now occupying my vacancy in the hospital. As my nephew put it, 'as soon as one comes out, another one goes in'. She's had many stitches in her head, but apparently no concussion and should get out later today. Her accident happened at the kids school where, bless them, an off duty ambulance officer and nurse (both parents) were on the scene. They worked hard, but they couldn't stop the bleeding that has traumatised half of the infants department; we're still getting calls from parents of freaked-out kids who want to ensure that Soccer Boy's Grandma didn't bleed to death. No, and she is issuing orders from her hospital bed about where her cane should be positioned, who to call and where her car should be parked etc., so we're hoping for a quick recovery.
It never rains but it...you know the one."
Also turning back time...

Kind of like those two years never intervened, eh? ;o)
I DO remember this post - damn - time has flown by, hasn't it?
P.S. That Cher song title is gonna haunt me all night, lady. Thankya!!
Dr. Paca remembers all. Whew. Glad that hospital visit ended fairly soon.
It's so weird reading this two years on and remembering it.
I know, I totally remember Paca and Robin's messages as well! So weird, like it was only a couple of weeks ago.
Hey, Phoenix...yup, on the sofa...right now...streeeeeeeetch...ah, always good...
I don't remember much of November, 2008. Except that that was the month my Day Job changed life dramatically for me. Not sure I can play this week, though I will try.
Was there anything in this post after "Pacatrue, the world's best Professor Alpaca"? I got stuck there.
It is kind of all wibbly wobbly timey wimey, isn't it? In some ways, 2008 feels further away than 1998.
You, uh, feeling better? Cause if you don't feel like shredding and smacking this month, we could probably make do. Jus' sayin.
Okay, I loved this post. Read it twice. Don't know why, but just the right thing to read at the right moment.
Wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff! Sigh.... Best episode of the new Dr. Who series. Ahhhh....
Is it Y2K yet?
So far behind and here we're only to 2008. Geez. I'll never get caught up.
