Well, howdy there internet MRR people.
It's Troy again.
Welp, this was an eventful week.
Wednesday, wife is working away (she works from home) and gets a call from her 80+ mother. "I think I'm having a stroke, but I don't want an ambulance..."
Wife talks with her long enough to figure it's either very early, or a ministroke. Emails the boss about a family medical emergency and runs down 40 min drive to take her mom to the ER. She's doing fine by then, no symptoms.
Several hours later, Docs rule out regular strong, and say it was a mini-stroke. There is a history of stroke on both sides of MIL's family.
MIL is already a "Fagile" diabetic, with a pump. The girls take turns calling her each evening just to make sure her blood sugar hasn't bottomed out. Quite often they have to command her to go get her sugar syrup stuff out of the fridge, or eat some candy, then have her take another reading.
And, we're a one car family - a carry over from living in Los Angeles where we had almost everything within walking/train ride distance. So it was weird knowing I didn't have a vehicle to go run to target or the hardware as needed. Distances are a bit more spread out in the midwest.
As for hobby, I finished up basing my American Civil War 12.5mm figures. Taking a break from them to work on Napoleonics in 28mm for a while.

Wife and sister are driving off to see SIL's great grandbaby's 1yo Bday party today. They'll be taking their mom along. And I get the car since SIL is driving.
So I've got all day to paint.
And to get a donut.
A donut sounds good.
what diet?
