I'm Still Here

Missed me? I just realized it's been while since I
updated this page so, "Welcome Back, Me!"

Not much has been going on Project-wise, I don't know
why I'm in a rut but I am. June flew by and I just
maintained my weight-loss from May. Here it is
mid-July and I still haven't weighed in because I'm
pretty sure it hasn't changed (at least for the better
- if it's for the worse, I really don't want to
know). It's like I'm jinxing myself by not doing
enough to lose more, but not gaining either. grrrrrrrr

So, June was a good month book-wise:
Laurell K. Hamilton put out the new Anita Blake book,
"Danse Macabre"

Kim Harris put out the new Rachel Morgan book
"Fistful of Charms"

These are two of my fave series and authors.

Also in June, I re-read the 4 LKH Merry Gentry Books
and love, love, love them - the next one isn't due out
until Nov or Dec so I'm on pins and needles waiting
for it. Maybe it'll be out before I leave on vacation
and I can read it on the cruise ship - that would
rock.

My mother was in the hospital again on June 29, and
got out on July 1. She'd apparently stopped taking
her diuretic because it "made her go to the bathroom
all the time" and she swelled up like a balloon. She
was also anemic and they had to give her blood. I
can't hardly blame her for not wanting to go to the
bathroom all the time because she uses a walker and
her legs are shot through with arthritis, so it just
plain hurts when she has to walk.

THEN, she fell down this past Tuesday (on the way to
the bathroom - OF COURSE). She's supposed to get out
of the hospital tomorrow. She has two compression fractures (to be
honest, I don't know what that means, so I'll Google
it soon) and is still anemic. More blood today, home
tomorrow. I hope. It's hell when parents get old
because there's not really much you can do for them...
