I do have a very good reason. Gemima was whisked off to hospital by me over a week ago with stomach pains, which turned out to be appendicitis. They operated the same night and I have been staying with her at the hospital every other night and every day since.
The appendix had perforated and was pretty much ruptured (oozing rather than exploding apparently). Nasty, gangrenous and bizarrely not in the normal place - it was tucked away behind the bowel so the operation took far longer than expected.
We had been advised an hour for the procedure and recovery time - three hours later we were called to the recovery room.
I'm sure you can all imagine what my head was doing for the extra two hours!
Anyhow - she is home now. We got back at 4:15pm this afternoon. She's asleep on her bed. The journey back wore her out.
Funny thing was - when I woke her up in the car to tell her we were back, she said "are we at Keith's already?". She was all confused because the weekend just gone was supposed to be her weekend with me at Keith's and for some reason, she had thought today was Friday and we were going to Keith's.
So, now that she is asleep, I have a ton of post to sort through and a snotogram to send to Britannia Parking. I can't be arsed to write about that saga - Keith did it already - please feel free to go read his blog!!
