Grandma Rose

Hey all... I'm sure if you're one of the people reading this I have already texted you with some bad news about my "Grandma" Rose and asked for your prayers but it definitely warrants a blog post.

So Rose isn't actually my Grandma. Rose is my mom's best friend's mom... that might be a little confusing but basically that whole family (including Rose) has known me since I was born. Rose has suffered a lot of health problems including diabetes, breast cancer, vision problems, etc. Recently she hasn't been in the best of health (actually horrible health) so this episode isn't really a surprise but it stinks all the same. This morning Jill (Rose's daughter) found Rose on the floor when she went in to bring Rose her morning coffee. The ambulance was called and the doctors found that Rose had suffered a stroke and had intracranial bleeding. She is currently in the ICU at St. Mary's Hospital and it really doesn't look good. The doctors have told the family to start saying their goodbyes.

I'm not asking for a miracle healing here. Just your prayers for Rose and everyone who loves her.

"I will swat the flies..... that are your BS"

"There comes a point in your life when you get tired of fixing everything and trying to make everyone happy. When you finally decide to quit, it's NOT giving up. It's realizing you don't need certain people and the bullshit they bring in to your life."

Well hello there Grey's Anatomy quote. It's literally perfect for describing my rooming situation. As of May 12th I am FREEEEEE!

Here comes another list because my brain is too pooped to do anything else:

1. Only 30 more days of school (including weekends and finals). Not that I'm counting or anything.
2. I have two 10+ page papers (nursing and sociology), a 3 page bible paper, 8 chapters of reading, a case study to prepare and present, one write-up, one grad check appointment, and one leadership paper to do. All due on or before Monday. FML.
3. I have eaten more candy in the past 3 days than should be legally allowed.
4. This really should be number one... but I miss David. All. the. freaking. time.
5. Can you get senioritis when you're a junior? Because my mind is completely beyond focusing and if you read #2 above you can see why that is a BIG problem.
6. I am stressing about graduating on time. However, that is not in my hands anymore.
7. What? Shiny?
8. God is good. All the time.

What can I do about all of this RIGHT NOW at this moment? Put my head down and work hard. Pray. Don't forget to schedule in fun. Get through the last THIRTY days of escuela. And remember, it will all be just fine in the end.
