Oh What a Day!

Yesterday was a very interesting day. It started at 2 a.m. when the cat decided she would practice her hunting skills and pounced on my face. Needless to say she got an early morning ass beating...that was well deserved.

The day started off with an Adobe Illustrator class. Now I know I'm not the brightest cookie, but I can hold my own with computer programs. Photoshop-no problem; Dreamweaver-piece of cake; Illustrator-stumped! I don't think the subject material was hard...I think the instructor was crappy. I know I know it's easy to blame the teacher but really I think I have a valid complaint this time. There is no way those other two classes were easy and the program that deals with geometric shapes and colors is that difficult. She was a scatter brain and would get confused between Illustrator, Flash and InDesign.

A day of bad communication continued and I seemed to be the middle man for that one...and let's just leave it at that to save my ass. Which led to the next event of the day being our coop cookout. It was a very nice event...but some things never change there either. Those that put forth a lot of effort did a great job...and their hard work was much appreciated.

On the ride home, I had left over crawfish stew spill all over the back of the jeep. That's a smell you will never forget. Especially when you are not a huge seafood fan.

I got home and began to clean up the crawfish and tried to stabilize the odor. In the mean time, I was going in and out of the house rinsing the towel and grabbing cleaning products. Well the cat...that is a BARN CAT...but never goes outside and hates the smell of the outdoors, gets confused and heads outside. The door closed behind her...she didn't realize the glass door was closed and leaped into it; then she rolled down the steps all the way to the ground. Disoriented and confused she took off running. I had to stop cleaning to go look for the runaway cat. Rounded her up and finished cleaning.

As you can see, I'm consistent. I don't just have one event happen to me at a time. I get everything in multiples. I still believe...My life is made for TV or a movie.

MIA

I'm sure no one even checks my blog anymore. It has not been updated in months. Blogging was fun, but now with Facebook...it's just a lot easier to post a quick little message than to type an entire blog.

Last week was hell! My grandfather was rushed to the hospital ER on Sunday afternoon, and he has spent the week in the hospital. He had a lot of fluid and was having trouble breathing.

While staying with my grandfather in the hospital my grandmother had a weak spell and was sent to the ER. She had an inner ear infection and was sent home.

Mom has been going through testing for her thyroid and back. So I took her to get an MRI on Wednesday. She ended up reacting to the medicine they gave her for the test, and I got sick while in BR that same day.

I've learned that my family has a tendency to do our part in keeping the medical field in business, but when we do it...we do it all at once!

Everyone is starting to do better.
