Holy crap.  No posts in September or October yet?  Huh.

Well.  Lets see.  What happened there.

I injured my foot a bit with some new too tight running shoes back in August.  So took a break from the hour+ walking stints that I was faithfully doing in the summer.

The weekend after labour day my sister and I had an intervention of sorts with our mother.  Not really.  Anyways she went to the hospital unwillingly to be treated for a serious condition that she did not want treated.  She was not pleased one bit.

So then... I spent the next 6 or so weeks dealing with her in the hospital (visting, bill paying, trying to figure out WHAT THE HELL?  Find out she had a stroke, is she ever going to be the same again etc. etc.)  That was on top of the usual back to school crunch, kids having to get up early again after sleepign in all summer, kids hockey tryouts, hockey team assignment drama, homework complaints, shorter days, colder weather STUFF that makes September a month THAT I HATE!

Now this Monday get a call from mom saying she was going to be discharged on Tuesday. Against medical advice of course.  She is very weak right now both physically and mentally.  She cannot take care of herself without help but the second she had a chance she was OUTTA THERE! Oh Joy!

So now she is at home, still bitter about the whole thing, still in denial that she was out of order.  Blah Blah Blah.

Now to top it all off, yesterday she called me to tell me the search company she hired last spring has found the address of the son she gave up for adoption 43 years ago.  Not great timing search company people!  Just sayin.  :)

Oh ya, and of course I have not been taking good care of myself.  Eating like crap and barely exercising.  Any questions?  :)
