Friday morning greetings! Today's the second of my five days off and it's been quite odd already.
Yesterday, I visited my doctor for a flu shot and he ordered some routine fasting blood testing, which I planned to do this morning and then meet a friend for breakfast. The rest of the day yesterday I spent winding down after a very hectic several weeks and by 9:30pm could hardly stay awake, so I went to bed. The phone woke me about 10:45 - my mother-in-law's neighbor telling me MiL was sick and what should she do? Well, Richard is still in Wisconsin and I'm quite hesitant to assume responsibility for his mother, so I called his older brother and his daughter and they met the ambulance at the hospital.
Grandma was admitted about 5am; I was there by 7:30, stayed until the doctor came and left, then I went downstairs to have my test, and am now home tanking up on coffee. Our doctor seems to think MiL's problem is not life-threatening, which is good, but she'll be in the hospital for a few days. In the meantime, my friend called to cancel our breakfast date, because she'd had something come up.
My mother and I have plans this afternoon to do some errands and attend the grand opening of a new Graeter's ice cream shop.
