Concerned.

I made my son go skiing with the Boy Scouts.  He likes Ski Club at his school and he likes Boy Scouts, but for some reason he did not want to go on today's ski adventure with the scouts.  I made him go, and now I'm worried about him having a good time!  Because I'm not nearly as active as I'd like to be, I worry that my 13 year old son does way too much sitting around playing video games and such.  I think if I felt better we'd all be out doing more activities!  So I tend to make him go do things sometimes.  Usually he has a good time and is glad he went....usually.....

Very emotional and overwhelmed.

Today 40 years ago on Saturday 13th February 1971 my landlady found me in a coma.
 
I was lucky that she came home because usually she stayed in her other house in the countryside
for the whole weekend, but on this occasion she came back to her townhouse on Saturday,
looked into my room, found me to be in a coma and called the ambulance.

I was in kidney failure. I don’t know for how long I was in a coma (I never asked),
but I remember that I was discharged from hospital between the end of April
and beginning of May 1971 after my kidney function had “recovered” to 5%.

My life was in a blur. I was on the transplant list but the waiting list was 10 years and
survival on Dialysis was only 5 years. I panicked because I did not know how long my kidneys could hold on.

They are still with me but for the past 40 years I never knew when they would stop to function
and I had to plan my life accordingly.

Now my kidneys are failing again, they only functuin 10-12%, no Dialysis yet - and again I hope for a miracle.

Believe me . . . you wouldn't want to be in the same room as me. 

I don't even want to be in the same room with me.

I'm happy.  I enjoyed some fairly sensible conversations with delinquent teenagers whilst at work this morning.  Now I'm jigging along to my current favourite album (Brandon Flowers) and will soon be cooking my Blokey a vaguely Mexican tea.  Then we're toddling off to the cinema to see the film Paul.

Life is grand today. And I don't work Wednesday's so tomorrow will be even grander.

Not very happy. My wash machine broke last weekend, I spent two thousand dollars replacing the washer/dryer set. I had flooding in my basement from a recent major thaw and my kids were supposed to go to their grandparents overnight so my hubby and I could have a night alone and my Mom got sick so that got kaboshed. It's not been a good week right from last Sunday. If anything else happens, I might scream LOL :rant;

Yikes!  That's a lot of money!  Hope that next week is more enjoyable for you.

I am ... *ponders* ... very tired.  And slightly hungry.  And quite content.

Annoyed with Mother Nature for teasing us.
 4 days ago, we had 55 degree weather and all 19 inches of the snow from the giant storm melted.  It looked like spring was already here. 
Within the last 4 hours though, my sprawling green lawn between the buildings in my complex looks like this.....

I would love to live in a library!

I feel ... um ... *shrug*

We're off to see Spamalot this evening.  I don't actually like Monty Python.  By the time I get home I'll either be so bored that I'll be completely ready for my bed, or I'll be totally psyched and desperate to watch some MP.  I'm actually hoping it's the former.
