HypersomniacLive: Glad to hear things look up for them, here's to things getting much better over the next few days for both of them, and especially for your mother. I know how hard it is to have a parent hospitalised, so best wishes for her recovering and returning home really soon.

I'm much of less the same - still have that running nose and am at the verge of getting sick (nth new for me during winter), though thankfully it hasn't gotten there (yet); I hate being sick. Other than that, I'm not in the best of spirits as I have quite a lot of difficult stuff to deal with.

ddickinson: They are doing well, thank you. My father is back home resting and recovering well, my mother is still in intensive care, sadly. But at least she is awake more now and not drifting in and out of consciousness. We are hoping that she can leave intensive care by the weekend and go to a regular ward for recovery.

How are you today? I hope you are well?

EndreWhiteMane: Glad to hear things are getting a bit better, hope things improve more very quickly.

ddickinson: Thank you, big hug for you as well. *big hug* :-)

How are you today? Is the weather still bad where you are?

EndreWhiteMane: Doing well today, the weather isn't as bad as it could be, it's cold but the wind's died down.
**Hug back** Sorry if that was a bit hard, I'm a big guy. :-)

EndreWhiteMane: Not nice when you start the year with life kickin' you like that. Hope things get sorted soon.

ddickinson: Thank you for your kind words, they really mean a lot. :-)

I'm sorry to hear you are not in the best of spirits and feeling a bit sick. I wish there was something I could do to help. How about a game? I have one with your name on it ;-). But as there is nothing I can do, please accept a big friendly hug *big hug*.

AgentBirdnest: Hello everyone.
I'd like to offer a hug to anyone having a tough time.
Also, a hug to everyone else.
*bag o' hugs*

DeMignon: Ouch, that sounds like a lot of worries. I've missed your recent posts as I've been on vacation. Good to hear your father is getting better. Fingers crossed for your mother and a Happy New Year hug for you!

HypersomniacLive: You are indeed in a silly mood today, cheers! :-)

LaPtiteBete: I've just heard that 2 terrorists have shot 12 people down at the Charlie Hebdo siege in Paris (a satirical newspaper, which had been threatened for its draw sketches of the prophet Mohammad in particular), among them at least 4 illustrators. That's horrible. Absolutely terrifying... and completely demoralizing. :-(((

AgentBirdnest: Adequate. Maybe I'll try stepping outside today.
