i guess i can breathe now
Weight- Haven't had an official weigh in at school since the first week of the challenge which means I still have 182 as my most recent low. Today it looked like 184-185 on my bathroom scale. Hopefully I can fix stuff before Friday and be back to 182 or less. My lowest, on my mom's scale on 3/10 was 179.
Workouts- Hmm, those haven;t happened in I don't know how long until today. I did some kettlebell exercises during an episode of Supernatural. Before that I did the stair stepper during an episode of Modern Family. And after another episode of Supernatural I decided to run a mile. First one in forever, which I think is January. 16:04:04. Not too bad for a fatty with allergies who may have gotten sunburnt as well.
Dad- My dad died last week. He was 68 years old. He died as a result of organ failure as a complication of cholangiocarcinoma, which is bile duct cancer. He had been hospitalized for a month and 2 days before his passing. His pancreas gave out and he died peacefully, in his sleep. He really didn't have any pain, what he did have was in his legs because he was also in kidney failure and had excess fluid his body couldn't drain accumulate in his legs. The doctors were unable to do anything to treat the tumors on his liver, which grew incredibly fast due the the fact that on the day we received his cancer diagnosis he was also in kidney failure. He spent time in the ICU and some other various floors of the hospital while he was there. My mom was with him, along with two of her close friends. I was there with him until 10 pm. I was getting physically ill over the whole ordeal and just needed to sleep. My brother flew in the next day, but he had expressed that he didn't want to be there at the end. Dad died at 1:45 pm on Friday, March 9th, 2012. We all had a say in his obituary. I called an old teacher of mine who spent a lot of time with my dad to give a eulogy at his funeral. Everyone was so happy I did that, even if my mom fought about it at first. We picked out all of the readings and songs for the funeral, and everyone said that everything we picked was fitting. I feel like my dad got cheated out of time by being stuck in the hospital and having to undergo so many procedures that really did nothing to help his quality or quantity of life. There was so much more he still wanted to do and was unable to do them. Overall I've been okay. I get a little weepy here and there, but I get through it. My dad was there at my wedding, but he'll never see his grandchildren and my children will never know him. He was a good dad and I will miss him. He did a great job of raising me & my brother.
Job- It's March, so now I just wait for the end of the month. I missed my Praxis exam, so I should have it rescheduled for April. I did get accepted for the Endless Mountains Writing Project at Mansfield this summer. I have to deal with the paperwork that came in the mail this past week. I also have to deal with my taxes still. At least I think I took care of my student loans so we'll get our refund back.
