(no subject)
My sweetie, though she is worried about me possibly overextending myself, thinks this schooling might be pretty good for me too. She did reiterate, though, that under no circumstances am I allowed to cut my hair. *grins* Well, I hadn't planned to anyway, but it's nice to hear that from her.
Anyway, the two of us are going to be in Wisconsin, specifically Racine and Kenosha, this weekend for Congenial. If anyone reading this is going to be out that way, do let us know so we can look for you!
I heard from my parents today. Seems my uncle (I think. Honestly I can't remember his exact relationship to me) Jim died. My family was out at his funeral today. My brothers and I have never really seen much of my dad's side of the family. We all get together once or twice a year and I never really got to know any of them. Still, I feel bad for my parents, particularly my dad, who knew him rather better than I. Not long after that, they called back to tell me that my grandfather, on my mother's side, was in the hospital. He's doing alright though. He's even in the hospital where my aunt Mary is head of the nursing department. Seems he started having trouble breathing not too long after getting back from New York state where he was a guest at a farrier's convention. After having felt a little off through the trip, he went to his health club for a swim and started having trouble breathing. He's doing much better now, though doctor's aren't entirely sure what the problem is. Some say it's pneumonia, some say it's issues with emphezyma after having spent so many years in the smoke of a coal fired forge. Anyway, the good news is that he seems to be doing better.
I've had the most wonderful past couple days with my raccoon and tonight was even nicer. We've just spent time hanging out around the apartment together and it's been so peaceful and contenting. My life, in general, is pretty good right now.
I think I'm going off to bed. Goodnight world...
