Does the holiday mean the new MMP is delayed until tomorrow? 😕 ---

Ouch there **Alien**. {{Hugs}} for sure. I’m a couple years behind you on the dementia conveyor belt with my Aged MIL. Had a fine simple dinner and yak with SIL & her kids last night. Then she was off to late night services while we heathens yakked forth. Merry Christmas to all! Up at 6 today; had the house open overnight and it got a bit warm & still for sleeping around 2. As I said I’ve managed to palm off the cooking to SIL & kids this time. It sounds like they’re whipping up quite a feast. I just have to set up the larger table, etc., some time before noon. And go pick up Aged MIL from her senior apartment. With luck she’ll be TIA free. Unlike 2 weeks ago sorta: [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=20647438&postcount=93](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=20647438&postcount=93) ---

> [@The\_Vorlon](#): > > Nothing says the holidays like spending six hours in the ER, with the maternal unit and her ever-increasing Dementia. With Muvver we thought it was a heart attack and it was sorta. But with the dementia setting in/becoming more pronounced she ended up never coming home from that one. ☹ It was a long time for us but like a lot of other bad things the holidays bring it all back. Hugs your way kiddo. > [@Spiderman](#): > > Does the holiday mean the new MMP is delayed until tomorrow? 😕 No ----- but like the Christmas spirit some MMPs last more than one week. 😉 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/a-festivus-mmp-for-the-rest-of-us/804756.md?page=9)
