My Mom Lives in a Yellow Submarine

I got a call from my Mom about noon today telling me that her house is flooded from an unknown leak somewhere in the walls. The timing couldn't possibly be worse, as I was planning on leaving for Flipside tomorrow around 3 PM, and she is in the 4th week of 6 weeks of not being able to put any weight on her left foot. She also just had a new hardwood floor placed down in her bedroom which is currently buckling and popping up. The water in the house is turned off, and plumbers are on the way, but there is a possibility that I may have to drive up to D/FW to help her out and will therefore have to miss some or all of Flipside. Several friends and neighbors are on the scene helping right now, and I'm not sure what help I would be at this point, anyway, but I'll have to make a final decision before I leave tomorrow.

Murphy's Bitch earns down-time

Now that I've purchased a new phone, which I had to actually REPAIR to get working, and started painfully retrieving my numbers from friends, Murphy has become sufficiently bored of the whole thing to give me back my old phone. I now have all of the numbers copied into both phones and both SIM cards, and I have a backup platform for less than it probably would have cost to do it any OTHER way.

So now that Murphy's done back there, he can start kissing.

And I'm *not* showering first.
