Mom Is in the Hospital
Kind of tired today. It snowed this morning, and the highway conditions Web site says that the highway that I take is "partially covered in snow," so I'm going to take a short nap after class and give them time to clear it. I need to stop at the library on the way out though to pick up a couple of books.
I've decided to ask the unloading folks to just put the boxes in the garage, and I'll pull them out box by box. Then I won't have to worry about the cats, and the unloading will go quickly.
Hmm. Class is over and the roads are clear now, but I really want to take a short nap. I'll keep it short. Had a nice nap. Fed the girls.
Found out where to park for the library and where the drop-boxes are. Picked up my books.
I'm in Lincoln now at Steak and Shake. And I picked up my messages, and Mom is in the hospital. They're not sure what's wrong, but she is run down. A nurse thinks that her lung cancer has spread, but Mom doesn't think so. I tried calling back, but she didn't answer. I just want to go to bed and pull the covers over my head, but I need to get stuff ready for the movers tomorrow.
I bought Mom a stuffed animal that's an elephant (she likes elephants), but I have no way to get it to her.
Crap. I have more stuff to pack than I remembered. Well, I'll get done what I get done. Mom being in the hospital has flattened me, so I'm going to close my eyes on the air mattress for a few minutes. Well, I got into a lengthy text conversation with a friend of my mom's instead of closing my eyes, but it helped.
I'm on a roll now. I have certain things that I want to get packed, and I'll do what I can tomorrow as well because the movers won't be here until 2 PM. Okay, I got the big or heavy stuff and am calling it good.
I'm back. It occurred to me that I probably can squeeze in a box or two after they load the truck. So I'm good. I fed the girls their midnight snack, and I'm going to crash quickly.
