Stuff about me.

Monday, November 28, 2005

So...really quick update for today because I'm tired. I got up at around 5:30 this morning so I could drop my car off at Voss because my airbag light wouldn't go off. So I dropped it off then took the courtesy shuttle to campus and slept in the lobby of Millett until I had to go to work. While I was at work I got a call from Voss telling me that they had to get a part for my car and the part was on back order which means that it could take as long as 2 - 3 weeks. Then he said that they wanted to keep my car because they didn't want to risk putting someone's life in danger in case the airbag wouldn't deploy in an accident so they were going to put me in a rental car and charge it to GM. So that kinda sucked, but I was ok. About an hour and a half later my mom calls to tell me that they're saying my grandma has a fever and is showing signs that her body is shutting down so they're calling the family in. So without thinking twice I decided to go, so my boss offered to take me to enterprise so I could get my rental car and get to Circleville. I get to Enterprise...go through the paperwork...they pull my rental car around...it's a minivan. Now...most of you know that I'm not the type to drive a minivan, that alone bothers me, but I soon realized how much money I'm losing because of the difference in gas mileage between the van and my car. Anyway...I go to Circleville and they're about ready to give my grandma a bath, so we all went to get a bite to eat...that was frustrating...don't get me wrong, I love my family but sometimes they can really get on my nerves. So we get back to the nursing home and my grandma's temperature is back to normal. At some point during all this Roomiestar calls to tell me she got tickets to the Casting Crowns concert, but at that point I was planning on staying in Circleville most of the evening, but then family got on my nerves (especially my mom) and Amazing Grace's temperature went down, so I decided to go home and go to the concert and fortunatly grandma woke up long enough for me to tell her bye before I left.
It was a good decision. I've never really been a huge fan of Casting Crowns because K-love has a tendency to overplay their songs and that stinks because their stuff really speaks a lot when you listen to it. So yeah, that was totally awesome even though we were completely surrounded by a lot of really annoying teenagers, I managed to get past it for the most part. So then we go to Meijer to get groceries and see that a building is on fire...I mean completely engulfed in flames. We figured it was either Tuty's (a bar) or the Waffle House. So we got home and turned on the news and found out that it was Tuty's.
Anyway...I called my mom a few times this evening to see how grandma's doing and she said about the same everytime. So she's still surviving, but the Hospice workers that have been with her say that it's only a matter of time. So please keep her and my family in your prayers. I think the situation is starting to wear us all down, so prayers would be appreciated.

Well...it's late and I'm tired, so I'm gonna hit the hay. Goodnight and God bless!

Sorry to hear about your Grandma. I think this would be the hardest part...like waiting. Praying for you and the family....it has been a rough year...God must be teaching you some amazing lessons!

Cool that you guys got free tickets! There were a lot of talkers behind us too....but I was able to tune them out and just worship! It was AWESOME!!!

Praying...praying...praying!

Oh....did you ask them for a smaller car?!?! I can't believe they gave you a mini-van! Those are usually more expensive to rent! I would see about trading it in! You are right...GAS is a big problem!!! I would really check into it if I were you. Enterprise would probably be happy to give you a smaller car....just a thought!!!

Love ya!

Sorry about your grandma...you needed last night! There were a lot of things said last night that could relate to all of us!
You need to call Enterprise and ask for a smaller car. They should be glad to do it. If they don't, call where you got the car and tell them the gas price issue! It will be situated! I smiled SO much...laughed really...when I read that it was a mini-van! Lots of Love!
