That's Life

• Hey folks, I'm back from another brief hiatus. This has been one of the worst weeks I've had in a while. Not THE worst, but up there in the top three. When I last left you guys Dad had just been readmitted into the hospital after going kinda psycho. It took them about 15 hours to get the poor man a room upstairs. That is insanely bad. Meanwhile my sisters and I waited around for hours on end, and eventually we all left and came back later. Later that evening Michelle and I talked with a neurologist (who had diagnosed my mom with brain cancer so I don't really like the guy), and he confirmed that Dad has Alzeimer's. Not a major shock, but still not something I needed to hear. Later on Michelle and I did the grocery run, and I went home and got some sleep. I took the night off since the whole day was pretty stressful.
  
• Wednesday while getting ready to go visit Dad, I got a call from KDFC. I got laid off. Now I understand that everything happens for a reason, but still what a bummer. That means I make $200 less a month now. They encouraged me to file for unemployment even though it's part time, so I'll look into that next week. Hey anything helps. I'm still going on vacation next month, I have to pay off my dentist and Spencer needs his shots. Oh well, I have my weekends fairly free (not counting babysitting my dad) so that's cool. Later that afternoon I worked at Traffic, then I got a call that Dad was being discharged that evening. I picked him up and got him home. He was still a little confused, but physically healthy enough. I was also off from work on Wednesday night as well.
  
• Thursday wasn't so bad. I hung out with Dad for a few hours while Michelle ran some errands, and set up their DTV thing so they can still recieve a signal after next week. Later on I went to the gym, then worked at Traffic. Later on that evening at home I discovered that I lost my timecard. It's nowhere. Searched all over the house and my car. Only place I'd hope to find it is at Traffic. Now I have to leave a note for some lady downstairs to make me a new one. Oh and the zipper busted on the jeans I'm wearing. Stupid $7 jeans from Dave & Barry's. Oh the week I'm having. Could be worse though.
  
• Yes I just ranted about my bad luck lately, but I'm really blessed in the long run. Trials only make a person stronger. Plus, I live in a well developed nation. I have clothes on my back, food in my belly. I have awesome friends and family. So what if I have a few bad things happen? That's life.
