It's been a while


Sorry for the absence. The past couple of weeks have been...active.

I've had work 3 Saturdays in a row the past few weeks, but this past weekend was a 3 day, and I spent those 3 days getting as much rest as possible.

My mom had chemo treatment #11, which means one more go. She gets that in mid-September. After that, she has that 3 month break.

My dad also this week got into the hospital, as his blood pressure was at 224/165. It was really high, and my dad was so much in a fog that he drove himself to the hospital and forgot which one he was in as he couldn't remember which one he was at. (The area had two hospitals nearby so both of them were close, but he didn't know which one he was at) It was a bit scary seeing my dad like that, as he's normally healthy. We think the stress of my mom's condition might have caused him to be so highly stressed that he needed to go to the hospital to deal with the stress and they gave him a migraine cocktail medicine to help him with the stress and the headaches he was having.

The added stress hasn't been good for me either. Yesterday I was so stressed out from my dad being in the hospital, that I collapsed from the stress myself, and while I was at work, I slumped in one chair and put my feet up in another chair and pass out and took a nap for 2 hours. I normally don't do that, but I needed that nap.

The only good things as of late is that this Friday is my 's 14th birthday. I'm looking forward to helping him have a great birthday.
The other thing that happened this Labor Day weekend is that I did something I normally never do, and that's I went the a gambling casino to some blackjack, which is my favorite game. The best part is...I won 285 bucks after playing a couple of shoes of blackjack. That was last Friday. I then went again on Labor Day evening, since the family didn't do much on Labor Day, and played and this time I won 630 dollars. So this weekend, I made 915 dollars playing blackjack. I'm still stunned that I actually won that much. My luck is never that good. So far I've put most of that into my bank and it's still there as I'm holding on to it as a buffer in my bank account as I have my bills paid off for this week, and I'm not sure what to do with it.

Right now, I'm at work. My thoughts are at this point a jumbled mess. Dealing with all of the work, my folks, my family and , the stress...I'm not 100 percent at the moment. But I'm still here. I'm still alive. Got all my fingers and<b> toes </font></b>and got on a clean pair of underwear. Well, somewhat clean. I think I put on yesterday's underwear. But it's still clean! I guess for now, all I want is some peace and quiet. Which is my I haven't blogged recently. I think me taking a break is well needed. So today, I'm just going to get through it, and catch the Bears vs. Packers tonight and hope the Bears trounce the Pack at home. Looking forward to the game and some relaxation with my folks.

Thanks for reading!

OOPS I am A Packers fan. I hear you about the stress. I am going through some that began in March and manifested itself in an auto-immune disease.
As the caregiver in your home- be sure you take care of yourself!!! Going to a casino was a great thing to do and winning was a huge plus. Give your mom a hug from me

Rut roh! A dirty Packers fan? LOL! j/k

I'm trying to take care of myself, but it's been hard with this week so busy with Labor Day, my dad being sick and at the hospital, and other things. And technically I shouldn't have gone to the casino. I didn't have the money to gamble, but something inside of me, like a voice was telling me to go. So I went, and I just happened to be extremely lucky. Normally my luck is bad at the casino, so what I did...it was a bit irresponsible. However, I got lucky, and I don't plan on going back for a while until I can get my bills more in order.
It was fun though, and I think God was watching out for me, I guess. Whatever the case, I just had a lucky streak.
