I have to take another blogging break. This time it has to do with my sister. I have a sister who is a lot older than me and her health has been getting bad over the last year. Her kidneys are failing and she has already had a transplant a little over a year ago.Apparently her condition is getting worse. So since it's really just me and my sister, we have siblings from our dad's second and third marriages (long story) but I am her only whole sibling. So I'm going to visit her. My sister and I aren't close at all but maybe this is a chance for us to change that.
I don't know exactly how long I'm going to be gone. I suppose I will stay as long as my sister needs me.
And a word of warning, my sister's kidney failure is due to high blood pressure, so if you have HBP please manage it and if it's in your family please avoid getting it.
Anyway I'm going to be leaving this weekend. I have a friend of a friend who is going to house sit for me. I'm really happy about that. Initially I'm going to be taking vacation time from work and if need be I have a bunch of sick time I can use. I'm really lucky I work for a non-profit, I don't make as much as I could elsewhere but the benefits are great.
I will be back to blogging when I can. I don't expect all of you to keep checking back constantly so when I return I'll stop by your blogs and let you know I'm back.
Take care and I'm going to miss you all!
Au revoir pour le moment.

my RSS Reader will let me know. Nonetheless, good luck to you and yours. A safe recovery to your sis. Peace ...
Safe travels to you MDC. I'll say a prayer for you both.
Sorry to hear your sis is in such a bad way. Hope your visit raises her spirits. I keep a very close eye on my own blood pressure because my father didn't realise his was too high until he had a stroke. Anyone out there who doesn't know what their BP level is, get it checked right now!
Our prayers are with you and your family. Stay strong...
peace, Villager

Hey, MDC:
Go ahead and take care of things with Sis and other family matters. We do understand that blogging is fun and educational but that it can be time-consuming as well. It would probably take me an hour to find those beautiful and wonderfully appropriate pictures you come up with, not to mention the content.
We know you'll be back to us when it's time. Blessings.
Though I speak with the tongues of men and angels and can remove mountains but have not LOVE.....
You are LOVE!
Shalom/Peace
May Our Father be with you and your sister.
You and your sister are in my prayers.
Take care.
I look forward to your return.
Take care MDC! I'm praying for you and your sister.
Family first, blogging...whenever you can get to it. Praying for your sister's health.
Sorry to hear of this news. I pray that God grants you and your sister restoration in mind, body and spirit.
Peace, Love & Strength to you.
Safe Journey...
Sorry to hear about your sister and pray all is well.
