First off, I would like to congratulate everyone who made it through 6.6.06 without bursting into flames yesterday, and if you actually DID beat on a emo kid to help take part in the evil festivities, give yourself a few bonus points, take the rest of the day off, and go have a cocktail by the pool. On to the travelogue...

Well, its guess its official. I must now actually be a bonafide southern person, because for the life of me, I can't figure out why EVERYBODY IS IN SUCH A GODDAMN RUSH TO DO EVERYTHING up here ( Read more... )

This evening, I held in my hand,  the suicide note that my Mothers
mother wrote to her husband hours before she shot herself and died.

I never met her...it happened when my mom was 10 years old.

It was spooky and real.

This archeological dig through the photographic
and written remnants of my moms past has been

So, after the tech support I had done on thier computer the night before, and a fairly good nights rest , which included getting into a new book, Day 2 at moms was staged and ready to begin.

My mom is out of the hospital finally. They hooked her up with a zillion meds, and she has a portable oxygen tank that goes with her everywhere now. She also cannot drive, because several times when she was in the hospital, she would have coughing fits that would eventually make her pass out...which would not be a good thing to happen while driving ( Read more... )

My mom called yesterday FROM THE HOSPITAL. She has been admitted because she was having a really hard time breathing, so they had to do the whole oxygen dealie.
