The main reason this is not a good week

I am leaving on a jet plane and I do not, in fact, know when I will be back again.  Although the area of uncertainty in this case covers one or two days.

There are reasons I don't want to make this a long story.  The short version is that my grandmother back on Long Island is entering hospice, and I've been told that now is the time to go see her.  So that's what I'm doing--I'll fly overnight and be in New York tomorrow morning.  I'll probably be coming back Wednesday but nothing's been purchased yet.

Is that all there is to say?  Right now it feels like that's all.
