Catching Up

It's Tuesday already and I'm just now getting around to posting the Friday Feast, so that should tell you how busy I've been lately. It seems like I absolutely never have any time to do anything other than work and study. My 3-week online class ends this week, so that should take a little of the stress off, but just a little. I've still got 7 weeks left in my A&P class and all freaking Summer for this crappy evening shift bullshit at work. If you can't tell, I am less than pleased with my job. Do you remember in the movie American Beauty where Kevin Spacey's character just gets so fed up with his job that he quits and goes to work at a hamburger place so he can have a little less stress in his life? That's me right now. I swear, if McDonald's called me right not to offer me the drive-thru position, I'd quit my job today!

We have new additions to the house. Fish. Vic set up the aquarium weeks ago and up until a few days ago, we've just had rocks and bubbles and a wind-up fish in there. But this weekend we finally got some tropical fish. The tank looks great and all the fish seem to have adjusted to their new surroundings. And our kitty, Earl, is very excited to have new little brothers and sisters.

Vic's mom is doing much better and should be released from the hospital some time this week, so the doctors say. Her next stop will be an assisted living facility for a couple of weeks and then finally back to her own home. Her esophagus is still unattached to her stomach and will remain that way for at least 3 months, so she still has a feeding tube attached directly to her stomach. Nurses are supposed to show us how to help her with changing the tube and other medically related stuff until she goes back into the hospital for yet another surgery. Poor Mom.
