Mom, School, & Feasting

Vic and I went to visit with her mom in the hospital today. She was able to talk a little, but she's very pale and still in a lot of pain. She'll probabaly remain in ICU until they are able remove the dozen or so tubes stuck in various parts of her body. Her doctor estimates that she'll be in the hospital at least another couple of weeks and then she'll spend a few months in an assisted living facility until she is well enough to move back home. Poor thing. At least Vic is feeling better and is allowed to visit her. She spent all week sick at home on the couch. I felt awful for her, but still, a bad week at home is still better than a good week at work!

Speaking of work...this was my last week on midnights. Monday I start my new 3-11 shift. Monday is also my first day of class. When I signed up for this class, I was still working mids and figured I would be forever. My class starts at 8:30am and last for 4 hours. This will give me just enough time to get home, shower, and leave for work. My online class started this past Thursday and lasts for 3 weeks ~ it's a class on Word. I don't foresee any problems with it, but then I used to do all my homework at work when I had heaps of time at 3 or 4 in the morning. Now I'll actually be forced to do homework at home! I hate working.

Main Course
In what year of your life did you change the most?
I changed the most in my 19th year. I moved away from home 6 weeks before I turned 19 and in that year I left Ohio for the first time, got my first full-time job when I joined the Air Force, moved to Germany where I lived on my own, learned to drive a stick shift car, got my first checking account, and got a ton of lifetime experience.

Dessert
Where is a place you consider to be very tranquil?
The family room when Vic is either napping or not home. I can put on classical or light jazz, start a fire (when it's chilly outside), and just relax with a good book or some cross-stitching.
