In a few hours, I’ll get up and head to the hospital.  I am still in a bit of shock that I am really having this done, that there’s something wrong and I need to.  I know I’m in pain and I read the report, but I guess I’m still surprised. It’s been a crazy year and what better way to end it than with major surgery right?
My grand dad has finally been moved to the same nursing home where my grand mother has been for living for a while.  I am glad they are finally together, even if he only has a short time left.  I was upset that they wouldn’t be together at the end of their life.  They’ve been married their whole lifetime, well over 50 years and while I imagine it might not all be about the same things it was when they fell in love, I can’t imagine they’d not want to be together in the end. I can only hope that’s how it is, and it seems to be that way, as he finally seemed willing to go there and be with her in the end, or that’s what I was told.  That’s what I’d like to think and that’s fine with if it’s not true, I’d rather be disillusioned and think that there’s hope that maybe at least one relationship will live on even if it’s not perfect but at least until death they do part.
The kids spent the day fighting with me about wanting to go out to play in the snow, since they canceled school which left me home with all three boys while trying to catch up on chores before I’m on major restrictions starting tomorrow. I didn’t get nearly enough done, but I blame most of that on our non-efficient dryer which has to be run at least 2 if not 3 cycles for the load to be completely dry. We need a new one, but it took 6 months for us to buy a new vacuum so I imagine short of a miracle a new dryer is just going to have to wait! Too bad it’s not summer still or I’d be able to hang clothes outside to dry still!
I turned in my final, although not completed which will take my A down slightly but I was willing to accept that as I couldn’t do much about it and couldn’t give any more of myself to the work needed with how badly I’ve been feeling.  I’ve been lucky enough to have kept a 4.0 this far into my coursework, so this final might mess that up, but again, considering how the last few months have gone, it’s a miracle I’ve gotten all A’s with all of the things I’ve had to deal with and still go to class and get work done!  Needless to say, I dropped the class that was to start today, so my next class starts in February which will give me time to recover from surgery. I think my next class is marketing, which should be interesting. I’m missing accounting this time, which I will need to make up somehow. I will probably try to take it via an online course.
So off to sleep for a few hours, I need to be at the hospital at 7. Dean’s arranged for a friend to come over early to be w/ the boys, praying they all have school tomorrow and no more snow delays or cancellations to make for an easier day for her and Dean!  🙂
You and your family will be in my prayers! Hope all goes well with your surgery!
