funk

Rob and I went to the MSB yesterday to find out more about my taking classes. The start date is July 16^th. We did a walk through of the building and the facilities are amazing. You would never know from the outside, being that it is set in a strip mall. There are also some really cool perks, in the same building is the massage therapy and the health & fitness studies. all students can use the gym and can get 2 massages per quarter. The VT course has partnerships with the humane society and no-kill shelters so students get to take part in the sterilization surgeries. We were very impressed. Next Monday I have to take the entrance exam, fill out the applications, and start dealing with financial aid. All very exciting.

While I was still giddy over the idea of going to school, I decided to check mom’s voicemail. As we know mom is out of the county so I have been checking in with her voicemail incase something major needs to be taken care of. When I checked there was a message about my lil’grandma (my mom’s mom) having an MRI. Why they called my mom no one knows, my uncle is the one closest and the one who had been dealing with her doctors. So I called him to make sure someone knew what the heck was going on, he was aware and didn’t know why they called Minnesota not the Colorado relative. While talking with my uncle I found out that my Great Aunt (my mom’s aunt) health was deteriorating greatly, and my lil’grandma health is to the point where my uncle is moving her in with them. I went from this great high of starting the ball rolling with school to this crash of emotions. I am not equipped to deal with these things. My Great Aunt and Lil’grandma are in their 90’s, I understand these things are going to happen, but emotionally I just can’t deal with it. We got home and just was depressed, just a funk I couldn’t shake.

I am still in a funk. I want my mom to come home. I don’t know what to do with this information. My parents flight is scheduled to come in at 4 on Saturday, I don’t get off work until 5. I am hoping their flight will be delayed so I can go pick them up. Rob is going to be visiting his folks without me this weekend, so it would be nice to see them if only to drive them home.
