Week 156!
Y’all!!!! We have a surgery date and time!! Nigel’s hip will be replaced on Monday. His surgery will be in the afternoon so the poor guy won’t be able to eat for a long, long time! My oldest is helping me with getting him out of the house and to the surgery center. If all goes well, they’ll do one of those 23 hour thingamabobs. My daughter and youngest have checked in to see if I need anything. Right now, it’s positive thoughts, good juju, prayers, really good vibes…anything you want to send my way! As promised, I’m going to do the last two weeks as features because I missed last week. Anyway, it’s time for the Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot! I am always aiming for 9:30 pm EDT. So, on with the show, right?
As part of our new year reboot, we are now shining the spotlight on a different blogger each week. We invite you to stop by their blog, take a look around and say hello! This week, we spotlight Soma from Ink Torrents!
For some reason, I was unable to copy what Soma has to say about herself, so I’m linking her “About Me” page for you here.
Want to know more about us…
Marsha from Marsha in the Middle started blogging in 2021 as an exercise in increasing her neuroplasticity. Oh, who are we kidding? Marsha started blogging because she loves clothes, and she loves to talk or, in this case, write!

I’ll be holding you and Nigel in my prayers this weekend and on Monday… surgery date! YAY!

Thank you so much, Laura! I am so hopeful this surgery ends this long, long journey. Thank you for the prayers. We will need them as recovery will be a little longer, I think. I am so very fortunate my kids are so good to us.
