My mom is in the hospital :( 15 hours ago

I got a call from one of my brothers yesterday evening that my mom had gone into the hospital a few hours before because she was having trouble breathing. They put her in the cardiac unit, so at that point, at least, it looked like the problem was with her heart.

My mom just turned 73, but this is especially worrisome because she’s in such lousy physical shape- diabetes, high blood pressure, and very overweight. She loves Colorado and used to visit me out here at least once a year, but as it has become more difficult for her to travel those visits have spread apart. The pic I posted is from her last trip out here 3 years ago, when she got to see her first great-grandchild.

One thing that really sucks is that I was actually planning on being out there in Indiana this week. I changed my plans because they’re screwing us over at holiday time at work this year by “giving” us unpaid time off. I cancelled my trip because I had to save some vacation time to make up for that.

I didn’t get any phone calls in the middle of the night, so I guess that’s good news. I’ll give a call there in a couple of hours to see if they have any test results yet.



Not make any 2010 resolutions
This should be 2 days ago

one of my easiest goals ever to achieve!

I haven’t made resolutions in many years. I would guess that 95%, at least, of New Year’s resolutions are not achieved. Other than some Puritanical (or masochistical ;) ) desire to be punished, what’s the point?

No thanks. I have enough to keep me busy with the 42 goals that I have listed already :D



Live half my life in Colorado
I've been 2 days ago

planning on adding this goal for a couple of years. I was going to be all scientific about it and figure out the exact date when I hit the halfway point.

Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to figure out the exact date that I moved to Colorado.

I’m pretty sure that it was after Halloween in 1984. And I know that it was before Thansgiving.

That means that I have probably already hit the 25-year mark. And since it’s still 3 months until my 50th birthday, it looks like I’ve completed this goal!
