Saturday…The Plan
Okay…I know I promised you a fabulous post and I really shouldn’t be writing if I don’t have something specific to say. It’s just that I feel awful for leaving y’all hanging like this. Not that you don’t have your own lives and families and jobs to worry about, I know you do, and I know you’re not waiting with bated breath for me to post.
I’ve gotten a few e-mails from some very worried pals, asking if I’m still alive. I am. I’m as alive as anyone can be who’s been living on less than 5 hours of sleep each night and working like a maniac to catch up on all that needs completing.
Thursday afternoon my father came home from the hospital. He’s doing well, even though he’s very depressed about his injury and all the things that happened to him in the last week and a half. His doctors say he is very, very lucky that his injuries weren’t any more severe. It will be several months before he is back up to par.
My brothers, sister and I have been doing the best we can to make life a little easier for him, and Mom, who is a frantic worrier about everything and anything. I do believe this is one characteristic I inherited from her. Needless worrying about things that are out of my control seems to be my mantra as of late. I’ve got to learn how to handle stress a little better.
Today we’re off to visit Dad for awhile and then later this evening, my brothers, sister and I are going to the Brewers game. Dad had four tickets and he’s not feeling up to traveling just yet. It should be a great time. I definitely need the time away to calm down and relax. I feel like I’ve been very high strung the last few days.
So that’s the plan. What are y’all up to today?

I hope things calm down for you.
*hugs* Maybe find some time for a park run one of these days?

I’m a worrier, too. But this is a big deal! I can understand the stress. (((Cyber hugs from St. Louis))!

Glad Dad is home. Been saying some prayers. Take time for you or you’ll be paying the piper.

I was just sating to Big J today “I wonder how Dana’s dad is doing?” I’m glad to hear he is home. Enjoy your time in Milwaukee - honk loudly when you pass our exit and I’ll wave in the direction of 45.
