Lots on the Mind...

So, I've been in recluse mode lately. There has been so much happening and troubling my little mind that time does not allow me to sit down and put these thoughts into writing. I have lots to blog about and I really have no excuse...my loving hubs got me a laptop! She is a pretty little red thing and I love it. We've talked about getting me one since I do all the sorority stuff and have run into the bad habit of taking some work home at night. I went to Berkeley a few weeks ago for a Chapter Advisor training...D offered his laptop for my trip, but I declined saying that I wouldn't need it. However, I was probably the only one there without one. After he picked me up from the airport, we went shopping to try out some laptops and I found a Dell I loved. We went home and found a better deal on the Dell Outlet and on July 3, she arrived at the door!

The biggest thing on my mind is Meema. She has been through quite the ringer over the last few weeks and it will continue and hopefully be resolved in August. While I was in Berkeley, she fell while at church. She did not really hurt herself, just some bruising, and was more embarrassed than anything else.

In the midst of all this, she has been having some "female" issues, which is a funny thing to talk about with a woman one month shy of her 88th birthday. She has been undergoing testing over the last few weeks. The tests seems to point to nothing major, but are still some concern to the doctors. After many tests, it was decided that she will be having a hysterectomy on August 17. I'm trying not to worry too much, but it's a lot to digest and begin to come to grips with the mortality of someone I love...and someone I am really not ready to think about leaving my life. Meema and I have always been close...I started spending the night with her at the young age of 10 days old. She is my other mom and has been there for my mom and I through some really rough times in our life! I'm saying extra prayers for her and would like you all to add her to your thoughts and prayers.

The jay oh bee is really busy and I need to get back to work. I promise now with my little red friend by my side...there will be much more blogging!
