A small hiatus

There is no Mr. Smoozles today. The stresses of last week got to me a little and I decided to have a completely relaxing weekend and so didn't do the strips for this week.

The worries surrounding my father played heavily on my mind, particularly as I have an appointment at the hospital myself tomorrow for a kidney scan. I'm hoping that they can find something they can treat as I've been feeling really under the weather for a while now and so far there has been no clear indication what it might be. So, fingers crossed that they get to the bottom of what's wrong, but that it's not to serious.

It's odd how the problems and misfortunes of others can increase the magnitude of our own problems at times. Worrying about our parents' ill-health can remind us of our own mortality...
