Walking Backwards

Drama following me around lately.  I have enough stress in my life already without having to worry about bad things happening.  I would just like to continue on in ignorant bliss that disease and death are not inevitable.  I hate thinking about it.  First, my father called me this weekend and gave me me two bits of bad information.  My brother's cat, Shadow, died last Thursday.  The same day, my grandmother was admitted to the hospital with heart faliure that was apparently a complication of pleurisy.  She was completely delerious and is not thought to ever be able to return to her home.  I am hoping to go down to see her next week, but we have to wait for her to get out of intensive care.  Joe and I had health screenings this week, too.  My blood pressure is still high, but the surprise was Joe's cholesterol level.  He is enough above the highest reccommended level for me to worry and nag him about going on a diet.  He also has to go in for a cancer screening next week.  I don't want to talk about it, I don't even want to think about it.   So that's all been in the last couple of days.  Sheesh.


For some good news, I finally got all my holds cleared up at ACC and am now registered for Spanish this fall.  It will be so nice to go back to school, even if it is community college.  Maybe we can afford more of the big college in a couple of years :).  I'm just happy to be working toward my teaching certificate and my bachelors.  I have so many jumbled credits that I don't honestly know how close to getting my degree I am.  That'll teach me to change my major in my junior year.  I do know that I haven't finished my forigen language requirement, so I have the next few semesters accounted for.
