Back after being AWOL for so long

I've missed blogging. And the WW boards. Life has been too hectic to get to them lately, but I feel like I'm settling back into the routine now. It won't last long. I'm still constantly worried about my parents because Dad is going down hill rapidly. He's not getting out of bed at all this week, apart from toilet trips and showers in a special shower chair. Dr thinks he's getting fluid on his lungs. He's not in pain, but he's so ready to go, and we're all ready for it too. Mum is a rock as usual. She's amazing. My sister is on holiday this week so she's there too. (She's a Charge Nurse for Hospice so Dad is in great hands!) After talking to my sister last night about Dad's decline I was very keen to open a bottle of wine and wallow in pity. DH told me to go ahead since there was already an open bottle in the fridge. Well... it had a tiny amount left, so I drank that but did NOT open another one. Instead, I got busy making the yummy fish recipe in the January WW mag. We both really enjoyed it.
My weight went up over Christmas, but I should have a loss at WI tomorrow. 
Good to be back here!!!
