ok, to pick up where i left off... any time we have any sort of family medical emergency we call my grandmother on my mom's side. she used to be an ER nrse for like a million years. she's seen it all. sp i called her on the way to the doctors office and asked what to do. "get ot hte doctors and then go to the ER". my mom's doctor agreed. i left the office and took her straight to the ER where she got a CT scan. after that they sent us home. an hour of so later my mom's doctors office called with the results of the CT scan and everything seemed normal.

i had a great long post written before, right now, i'm a little drunk so if things don't seem all that good blame them on bloggers poor posting pattern, not my intoxication.

i spent the day getting mom too and from the doctors and calling about a million people. i had to call the ladies she works with twice, once to tell them we woudn't be back to pick up her car and once to tell them she wouldn't be into work tomarrow. apparently the word spread because i got about a million calls that night asking how she was and what happened and all sorts of other bullshit.

friday, mom still wasn't feeling so hot. she was still a little loopy and definately not quite with it. that hardest part was getting her to sit still and not do anything. since i'm a jobless bum, i've had to pick up hte slack. friday i spent the day watcihng over mom and doing normal housewife stuff. i did some dishes, a little house work, and some grocery shopping.

friday i waited until dad came home around 2:30 because i didn't want to leave mom unattented. she was still a little fruity and not totally in synch with reality at this point. so i did the grocery shopping. i've been doing a lot of cooking lately, thursdayi made a killer meat loaf, friday i make this sweet cheesty, chicken pasta thing and today i made a nasty chilie. friday afternoon at the P&C was a totally different story. i had a list of about 15 different things. i spent over 2 hours at the grocery store trying to find everything and come out with a decent bounty. it took 20 minutes for me and a store employee to find white wine vinegar, and an other 15 minutes to find canned artichoke harts. i ended up spending 180 dollars in over two hours a the grocery store. i had broken a sweat by the time i reached the counter and started bagging stuff. i walked out of there with two carts and what felt like a hangover. it was awaful, i'm not used to buying fod for this many people. the grocery store is an awful place. everything is designed to get you to buy it. its advertising at its worst.
