Jackie’s Brain

Just some stuff that’s bouncing around in my brain

Happy sunny Friday…finally!  If it was cloudy and gloomy again today I’m pretty sure I’d lose the will to survive.  But the sun keeps me from curling up in a ball under my desk today, so bring on the sun.  This week has been a bit weird.  Weirdest of all is probably how my dad is in an ICU right now due to the heart attack he had on Tuesday night.  (I found that out almost immediately after I posted about the power going off while in the shower…now THAT was one weird morning!)  I was kind of dreading putting that out there, because it sounds a lot worse than it actually is – as far as I can tell.  — Please, no dramatic comments — I think we’ll be journeying home this weekend though, just to give mom a break from the hospital and stuff like that.  I think he’ll be in the hospital for a while yet and may need some kind of minor surgery.  No one is telling them too much…if you thought hospitals here are frustrating, you should give hospitals in Swift Current a shot!  Even though this is not a big deal, it is really quite weird that I can’t go to S.C. to be with my parents because of a stupid job where I barely have any holidays.  It seems so pointless to be sitting there every day while there are much more important things going on in life.  It ticks me off.  But that’s as far as I’ve got with it – just ticked off.  I guess my option is unpaid time off which I will have to start considering more often.  This no holidays thing really interferes with living!

Ok, that’s all for now.  It’s been a long week, I’m tired, but so happy that the weekend is around the corner.
