A quick update...

Here's a quick version of how this week went. It was actually a pretty relaxing and stressfree week for me!

Tuesday and Wednesday were about the same for me. Mom was off of work so we ran errands and made Christmas candy for her coworkers! It has been YEARS since she and I had made candy and must admit that it was pretty amazing! We made: toffee, peanut butter cups, almond joys, mounds, peppermint patties, petit fours, chocolate covered cherries, and attempted to make caramel. The caramel was the only thing that didn't really work, I think its actually still in the fridge hardening as I type. It was so much fun and relaxing for me to be in the kitchen, idk for some reason cooking is theraputic for me. We finally finished everything at 7ish last night and probably would have done more if we would have had the time! It was so fun just to be able to relax and get messy in the kitchen! I'm so excited that everything came out as well as it did! It was quite yummy and I'll have to do it again really soon!

Today was my "chill day". My day to process everything that was going on, it was the perfect oportunity since I was home by myself almost all day! I'm a lot more relaxed and less edgy. I had come to hate who I was becoming becuase of the lack of sleep and emotional processing time (I was truely emotionally exausted). I needed today to recoup and regroup in preperation for what lies ahead. Tonight was an open KC meeting that the whole family went to with dad. It was a lot more emotional for me than I thought. Mr. Glen from LARC was there to present the counsel with an "Angel Award" for all their hard work and genorisity. He started talking about my grandpa, who loved LARC with all his heart and pushed for the KCs to constantly support them. He read a letter that he wrote to my gramma right after my grandpa's passing. I cried. I didn't want to cry but I did, a lot. I miss him, its soo odd for him not to be here with us.

Tomorrrow... dad is having an angeogram done at the heart hospital. This is like his third one in the past 6 years. I'm hoping that things go okay tomorrow, I'm so nervous!

Lately I've had this huge issue with falling asleep. Not trouble falling asleep, but falling asleep at the most random times. Its almost like when I'm tired I pass out from exaustion. For example, the other night I fell asleep while typing a blog, or talking on facebook, or texting, or watching tv (I normally fall asleep watching tv anyway, thats nothing new). But its strange. So tonight I'm typing my blog and chatting on facebook sitting up to be sure I don't fall asleep!

Anyway, I'm off to bed because we're leaving for the hospital at 6:00 a.m.! If you happen to be reading this, say a prayer! Thanks love!
