Sad.

I'm sad. I'm sad for so many reasons.

Sarah's mom...for starters, I thought about her all night. Her cancer markers are WAY up (this is NOT good news) and we're all kind of shocked by the sudden news. She was doing so well. She was rockin' it. And this is a huge push back. I'm not sure exactly what will happen but I know this news is bad, bad, bad. I feel so helpless being far away and I wish I was there to reach out to Sarah & Linda, hug them, take them to dinner, drink some wine with them and just have one giant pity party. I'll be there in 10 days...so...maybe we'll do that.

My brakes. They've been bad for awhile and I've been putting it off. Shocked? This is what I do. Well, they are worse now then they've ever been, I can hear them grinding to a halt (it sounds like a 747 landing and that can't be good, unless of course, it IS a 747 landing). So, now, I have to figure out how to get my car into the shop today and get it done by 5 so I can get back to Lynn's and feed the dogs. Oh and I have to manage to stay at work as well. Um, I'm not sure how this is going to happen.

My brother. James was sentenced to 6 months in PRISON and he'll probably go in just a few weeks. The CCC program (drug rehab run by the Ohio Department of Corrections) would not take him because he has bad teeth. Yes, bad teeth is keeping my brother from a rehab facility. I cried when he called to tell me last night.

My dad. His blood count is low. He talked to the doctor yesterday afternoon and it looks like he'll probably go into the hospital next week for a blood transfusion. RIGHT.BEFORE.MY.VACATION.

I'm not sleeping (part of my sadness I'm sure). The dogs are getting me up almost every night now at 1:30, then last night, it was again at 3:30, 4 and 4:45. I overslept until 6 this morning and was running around, trying to get ready for work.

I'm exhausted and sad.

Positive for yesterday: I finished Eclipse.
