So Monday was pay the bills day in our house. We get in the car, I pay some of the bills, (yada yada yada, bullshit, bullshit, bullshit) and somewhere in there we decided to get something to eat, . Anyway, my first clue that something was wrong was when Mom staggered accross the parking lot. My second clue came later in the day, after we got home. Mom sorta disapeared, so I went back to her bedroom to find her practially strangling her self with the line from her oxygen machine. “What’s wrong?” I asked, to which she replied “I feel weak, I thought I’d use my oxygen a little bit.” After I untangled the line, which I assure you was a task, somehow she had it around her neck, under her arm, and around the other arm, I convinced her to go to the hospital. Long story short, her BP was way low, she was dehydrated, and she has a severe kidney infection, and she’s still in the hospital, but getting better.
Me on the other hand, I’m a mess. Yesterday I attempted to clean the house and do the laundry. I say attempted because the phone seemed to be ringing constantly. One particular load of laundry I started to fold, the phone rang, I went back to finish folding it, the phone rang, again I went back to finish folding it, and there was a knock on my door. I open it and there stands the biggest fucking bitch I have ever met. Seriously, she was Mom’s sister in law for a while, I’ve known her since childhood, and told her I can’t stand her, but she insists on acting like we adore each other. So I’m faced with dilema, slam the door in her face, or invite her in because Mom likes her. Being that Mom is in the hospital, I invited her in, answered 20 thousand questions. (Did I mention she has to know the last time one of us used the bathroom? Nosey bitch!) She finally left, promising to visit Mom in the hospital. I walked back the hall to finish folding the clothes, and you guessed it, the damn phone rang again. TWO FUCKING HOURS after I started, the laundry was finally folded. I collapsed on the couch, only for Travis to walk in and ask what was wrong. OHHHH What a day!!
