Good Morning!

in Pennsylvania-Philadelphia
Getting ready to head to work.  It's been a long few days.  My grandma is not doing well.  They put her on hospice yesterday and stopped treatment, we thought it would be soon after that that she would pass.  I sat there with her until after 11 last night and she was just sleeping.
I am anxiously awaiting a phone call.  I just feel so bad for my grandfather, who had to bury his son in July and soon his wife.  It was heartbreaking watching him.  She was pretty confused because she's not getting enough oxygen to the brain.  But then she'd seem fine.  It just seemed like he was on a rollers coaster of emotions.

The waiting is what's so hard.  I think we have all accepted it and now we just have wait for her to be ready to go.

    I'm so sorry Drink.  I hope your gma is not in any pain and goes peacefully.  T&P with her, you and your family!


    Good morning everyone else!  I am tired.  I think I could have used a couple more hours of sleep this morning.  I have a long staff meeting today, so I won't be around much.

    On a positive note, I got a call from a recruiter for a pre-screen interview.  I should hear within a few days to a week whether I'll get a real interview.  The position is something I really want, but the pay would be about the same as where I am now.  What's funny is that this electronic system that has been the bain of my existence for 2 years is something that they use, and I'm the first candidate who has experience with it.  Oh, the irony.

    So sorry to hear. Both of my grandparents passed away last year, my grandmother first and then my grandfather soon after. My grandfather was even in pretty good health, I think he just had a broken heart. I feel very sad for your grandfather too. I can't imagine much else worse than losing both your child and your spouse. 

    On an unrelated note, drink, how was the PRAXIS? I was home sick yesterday and barely went on the computer. Mine was ok, I'm sure I passed but I was really sick and kinda rushed through it.

    MH - Congrats!

    FI had practice last night until late, so I spent the evening pampering myself - took a bubblebath, gave myself a facial, painted finger and toe nails, dyed and shaped my eyebrows, super-conditioned my hair. It was amazing.

    Good luck Hil!

    Well last night I ended up at Patient First.  I thought I had some kind of poison ivy rash on my knee, but then... well it just got gross.  So i'm on antibiotics with cellulitis.  Hopefully it goes away before my cruise... but they gave me 10 days of antibiotics.  So that will cut back on my alcohol expensives... BLA!

    Good morning everyone!

    Drink - sorry to hear about your grandmother. Our family went through the same thing. I sat by her bed almost 24 hours a day for 2 weeks until she passed. It was very hard. T&P to your whole family, especially your grandfather.

    Good morning everyone!

    Drink, T&P. We've gone through this a few times with my grandparents and it's never easy. My heart goes out to you and your family, and your grandma for everything to be peaceful. And I hope you did well on the praxis.

    MH- good luck!
    Mana- that seriously sucks. :(

    FI and I went out to dinner last night, (yes, steak, use your imagination) and then hung out at the house with DD last night. She's doing a little better- she finally slept through the night, but I slept too long, and came in late to work. Boo.

    Nothing exciting here.  My lost phone is finally dead.... I guess it's time to go back to my old even crappier one.

    Cass, sorry to hear about your grandmother.
    Hopefully she passes without pain and much more waiting.
    I remember putting my mom in hospice...the next week or so were the rough...

    Which PRAXIS did you take.


    Good morning to everyone else, I don't work until tonight so I am hoping to knock out some school work from now til noon, then go pick up my Jeep (which right now I think would be cheaper to drive off a cliff) and then back to work.

    It is our annual preseaon meeting at McFaddens, and to be honest I could not be more excited that its only like 17 more days away!

    Drink - T&P to you, your gma, gpop and family. I know how hard it is - I pray she isn't in pain and can pass easily knowing she has a loving family who will always remember her and keep her memory living well into the future. ::many hugs::

    MH- Good Luck!!

    Morning. Today sucks, but will hopefully go quickly. I'm definitely still trying to adjust to this time change and very tired because of it.

    Haha I know you'll be doing the same thing too!  We need this vacation more than anything.  We have a rule about no talking about money, school, getting out of the Army, or anything else that's stressing us.  I didn't include the house since it's not stressing me until it's time to sign 30 years of our lives away...

    I'm so stupid.  Instead of laying low this morning like usual, I shared my plans to get a cab downtown for our meeting.  Now I have the whiner and the work unloader getting in the cab with me.  FML.

    I decided it is a good idea to start to potty train little A, not so smart though cuz I know her dad is not going to do it later, and he will just throw a diaper on her. ugh.

    Good luck Hil!!

    Good morning lovely ladies! I haven't been to the gym in a few days and I think it's effing up my sleep schedule. I've had serious insomnia for the past 3 days. My boss is out today so I think I'm going to leave a bit early and get a long run in and hopefully I will sleep tonight.

    Last night we had a meeting with the church and figured out all of the details of our wedding day/ceremony! It's finally starting to feel real for me Laughing

    Also, I have my hair trial tonight! Tongue out
