Today

We had to take Jesse's dad to the hospital today. Why do these sort of things always seem to happen when you are having a pretty good day? Why couldn't it happen on a day when you are just being lazy and hanging out waiting for something - anything to happen?
Jess and I had gone out for breakfast and had some truly wonderful migas. While there, we made a to-do list for the rest of the day. We had gotten most of it done and were feeling pretty good about ourselves. (This is the first weekend I have had the energy to do anything besides go grocery shopping, since starting the new job.) Later this afternoon, we went to Home D. and HEB to scratch off the last two items on our list. Mrs. Ruby went to evening services about 5:45. We got home about 6:15. Jess went to go check on Papa and let him know we were back. That was when he found his dad on the floor of the bedroom. He had gotten dizzy and fallen on his way back from the bathroom. We tried to get him up, but he is too large for us to get him up without his assistance. Plus, he said he had bad pain in his back, when we tried. So we called 911 and went to the hospital. He is doing pretty well there. They want to keep him overnight, so they can get him stabilized. (He refused his meds last night, while we were gone on a date.) He has quite a bit of fluid build up as a result of not taking his Lasik. Well, at least the house looks good and the laundry is done. I don't think we will have the time to do it again for a while.
