Wow - what a roller coaster the last 2 weeks have been. I've put 1,400 miles on my car, if not more, spent more time in a tiny hospital room in just a matter of a week then I ever have in my entire life, developed a great appreciation for uninterrupted sleep, realized how incredibly crazy, not to mention HILARIOUS, my family is, ran a 1/2 marathon, slept too many nights on a roll away hospital bed but not nearly as much as my sister, found out how amazing I am at networking, told my team I will no longer be their boss, found out the plans of my organizations reorg, finally agreed to meet with Tab for her proposed lunch date I'd be avoiding for over a month, decided to go to denver for my birthday and realized I just may drown on Sunday during my portion of the Seafair Triathlon relay. *breaths*
Sleep anyone? Oddly enough, I've had some but shit this headache just won't seem to go away.
I'm exhausted and craving some time to relax but I honestly think I've lost the ability to do just that. I truly appreciate all the support, thoughts and prayers sent my family's way while my mom was in the hospital. She's doing really well now and just has to carry around Sammy the Stinky Stoma Sack for the next 3 months (that was the name my cooky mother came up with) and at this point is just lonely and feeling useless. I wish more then ever Seattle and Portland were much closer but alas, I had to come back Tuesday night.
The rest - those are really just small details right? I learned how much I love my family and honestly wouldn't know what the hell to do with myself if anything happened to any of them.
I'll be staying PUT in Seattle throughout the month of August and I hope to see some of you! Brandi Carlile is playing on the 2nd, Peaches on the 9th and other then that I'm just working, training and hopefully having some dinner dates w/ my seattle people I miss dearly!
