I need some DU love right now...

I rode my scooter from St Louis MO to Springfield IL yesterday afternoon. The ride was good until the very last hour when I just wanted it to be OVER.

This really isn't about the ride but my lament...I rode up here because it is my mom's 71st birthday and now I can't be with her. Seems I have the flu.the whole shebang from BOTH ends. My mom is diabetic and I dare not go around her if I am running a fever, which I think I am. I hope this has passed before I have to go back to St Louis on Tuesday.

Until then I just need some DU hugs. Feeling down.

1. Sorry to hear that, ikojo.

But I understand, too. I dare not be around my mom if I have a cold; she has a respiratory condition and is pretty suseptible.

:hug:

7. You can stand outside her window and wave a lot!

She'll understand.

Sorry the timing sucks.

9. Sending you good vibes for a fast recovery

and a lighter heart. :hug:

You can lament with me; I'm thousands of miles away from my family again this Christmas. I'm used to it 363 days out of the year, but Christmas Eve and Christmas are rough. :cry:
