I feel like I’ve made giant strides since Day 1. I’m about half-way through the 8th chapter. I woke up at 8am this morning by a text from a friend. Her mother fell down the stairs. Later, she was taken to the hospital in an ambulance. We’re all waiting to see when we can go down to see her. A doctor advised that it’s “no rush”. I’m surprised that no one is there with her. No friends or family. I want to go down there but feel like I would be intruding as I’m not family. The hospital is so close to me … I’m tempted to go but will refrain until I hear back from my friend.
The weather is cloudy with a little bit of drizzle. It’s a good day to stay indoors and study. I’ve read a few chapters of “One Step Behind” by Henning Mankell this morning. It took me a while to wake up. After I got the text, I went back to sleep. I took a sleeping aid last night after much tossing and turning. I was still groggy from it.
I eventually woke up 10:45am. Geez! At this rate, I’ll be starting my day at noon!
Yesterday’s “Toy Story” movie and ice cream with Oliver was fun. We didn’t have time to get dinner as the movie was finished by 8:45pm. Oliver and I headed back to his house. I hung out with his mom and a friend of hers until 10pm.
I went home and studied a bit more and then went to bed.
Aside from going to the hospital later, I have no other plans. I’m not particularly hungry so I noshed on some cherries I bought yesterday and a peach. I have to remember to fast for 12 hours for my blood test tomorrow. That means, no food after 8pm. No problem.
There’s some good movies coming out next week such as “Air Bender” and the new Twilight movie. It’s going to be a fun week. Canada is celebrating its Independence Day on July 1st. The next day, I’ll have Mina all to myself for three whole days.
I do want to get a lot of studying done because Mina is a big distraction for me. She’s hard to resist playing with. I’m wearing my new capri pants that I bought yesterday. Very comfortable.
I’m considering getting a body massage next week or should I put the money towards furniture? Hmmm dilemma!
