Checking in and checking out
| Sorry its been so quiet around here lately. With dealing with Penny's situation (she's been put into a coma to allow her brain time to heal from the trauma of 15+ hours of surgery.) To job stress (finals started today). To late nights of watching the Detroit Red Wings kick the ever loving snot out of the Colorado Avalanche. To a double handful of other things keeping me emotionally stirred up and off balance. I really just had "nothing left in the tank" to be posting here. In fat I am not really sure I have anything now either. But I have finally decided it's time to get up off the floor, put on my big boy pants, and take my life back. The Red Wings finished sweeping the Avalanche tonight with a crushing 8-2 win in Colorado. I am more or less half way through with giving my exams, and everythings graded and submitted so far. I leave tomorrow for a weekend getaway in Cordele, GA for my fraternity's bi-annual reunion. A weekend in the great outdoors with my brothers (and Andrea) should help me clear my head. But most importantly, I have worked in a side trip to go by and visit Penny in the hospital on my way down. I can only believe that a visit would be good for Penny and good for me. I don't think it's at all disrespectful to also pick up some Krystals while in Macon. Penny would probably be upset if I didn't. And I don't have to worry about Andrea stealing any of my Krystals, since she's a vegetarian. Maybe I'll buy her a MilkQuake and an apple pie, if she's good. Or maybe I'll buy myself one of the new Peanut Butter or Banana Pudding MilkQuakes and just not tell her. It'll be our secret!  |
