The Bipolar Otaku

My mom dropped my sister off at the airport yesterday; she's on her way to Delaware for the weekend. Anyway, I guess my sister thought there was something wrong with her car, so she told her that on the way home, she should get off the expressways and take all the side streets. My mom has lived in the Metro Detroit area for a long long time, you would think she could make it back... But nope, she got lost. Managed to make it the way to Toledo (about an hour drive south of the airport via expressways; I guess the welcome to Ohio sign is a pretty good indication that she was lost) before she decided to turn around.

Well, what can you do?

Anyway, she's packing up for another medical mission to the Phillipines. She's been doing this every year for a few years. I let her "borrow" $500 to help cover costs, but naturally I know that I'll never get paid back. She's been doing that also quite frequently for a few years. I'm glad that the Phillipines wasn't really hit by the tsunami's too; might have turned messy for her if it had been. Well, I'm sure she'll have a safe flight and I hope it's a good trip.
