Good. Lord.
Mom is in the hospital today, she was sent to the ER yesterday afternoon with two brain aneurysms. They were supposed to do an MRI last night but it didn’t happen. She was supposed to meet with the neurosurgeon this morning, but that didn’t happen, either. So she’s sitting in a hospital room in St. Joseph’s waiting to find out what exactly is wrong with her brain and how someone plans to fix it. She’s enjoying herself watching the Disney Channel (ugh) and waiting. Waiting.
I have not been to see her because I have an irrational phobia of hospitals. Maybe not so much a phobia of hospitals themselves, but I don’t like seeing people I know and care about so… disarmed. So she is going to call me when she knows something and then we’ll proceed from there. I guess.
If you’re the praying type, I’d appreciate a few words for her.
Update – 7/4/08
I’m down to 231.0 lbs, as of about two minutes ago, meaning I’ve lost 7.5 lbs since June 29. Not too bad. And I’m not even starving (often). Though I did have that aspartame incident Tuesday. Ugh.
Sitting In Class…
And the prof is not as funny as he thinks he is.
And the students are obnoxious.
Only seven weeks to go!
The Beginning of the End?
Tomorrow I will begin my first ever official diet. I’m doing it with a gal from work, each of us for different reasons. My reason? I’ve gotten fat. Granted, I can wear it pretty well since I’m six-foot-five, but still… not healthy. My health has been on a constant downhill trajectory for a while now, and I need to curtail that before it becomes a real problem. So, starting tomorrow, I’m dieting.
I celebrated the end of my culinary freedom with Chinese take out. Hurrah.
I start the diet with a weight of 238.5#. I’ll try to update that semi-frequently as things (hopefully) progress.
Tomorrow also signals the beginning of the Summer II semester. I’ve got American History and Principles of Sociology this semester. No rest for the weary, I suppose.
I’ve received one grade, a “B” in Psych, from last semester and I’m still waiting on the other so I can get my tuition reimbursed from the CB. I’m still thinking about my major, too… it’s really lousy to be 25 and unsure about what I want to do with myself. I know what I’m good at, but I don’t know how to apply it.
Anyway… i’m going to try and get a book review up here sometime this week. I’m finishing up God Save The Fan, by Will Leitch, tonight and I’ve got some thoughts on it.
Have a safe evening.
