It happened again..

Well yes, it did.

However between senior year of college and Dad's health issues I'd say I have a valid excuse.

I have found however that I eat much better when I am with my boyfriend, as he has a need to eat on a normal basis and I do not.

Dad's health issues... I got a call on April 8th at 7:45 in the morning (weird yes, unusual, no). My mom always calls super early due to her work schedule-- I answered it and it was bad news. Dad had suffered a stroke. After calling David we booked me a flight to Boston, I grabbed breakfast, did laundry, took a shower, packed and was at the airport by 12noon. By the time I arrived Dad was being transported to Mass General Hospital, talking a bit and moving around (which is always good news). I stayed at the hospital all Saturday, Sunday and Monday watching him improve-- talking more. But they still could not stabilize his heart rate or blood pressure. He began eating more, and trying to do more for himself. I left on Tuesday morning, knowing I had 20 days until I'd be back; not knowing what I'd come back to, who'd be attending graduation and how life was going to change. Dad went home on Thursday after 6 days in the hospital, I had talked to him on the phone and he was talking much more. Come to find out his blood pressure and heart rate still aren't the best they could be even on medication and he doesn't have a cardiologist appointment until the end of May! Meanwhile Mom's still trying to figure out finances, transportation, and my graduation; Sydnie (my 14 year old sister) has my Dad on a strict diet and is a cleaning machine; Sarah is avoiding being home at all costs and David is just trying to keep me sane until I can be home.

My grandparents left Sunday to make it down here, they got in a little after dinner last night. We ate together and talked some then made plans sort of. We are going to load their car on Thursday afternoon - and I am positive that trunk is even bigger than mine was so looking to get a good amount of crap into their vehicle so that I don't have to ship anything home!

I have got one case study (due Thursday at 8:00a) one 10 page research paper (due next Wednesday at 2:00p) till I am done except for the two mandatory and two "up-to-me" finals. David flies in on Friday only 10 days away, and I'm cleaning out everything. It is so crazy that four years has passed and it's time for Graduate school and the real world. I've never looked so forward to something in my whole life.

Peace.Love.& Moving On
