So, apparently just as one thinks that one has one's life in order, the universe is obligated to give that person a sucker punch to the stomach.Today started out as one of the best days I've had in a long time. Went in for lecture, found out wednesday lecture is cancelled. Went to Panera, wrote 2 pages, had Panera lunch, wrote 2 more pages and worked on some formatting stuff for the thesis. Came home, watched a little Dr. Phil, and went for a walk at 3:45. I *just* got home. Around 4:30 I got a call from my sister. My Aunt is dying. She was admitted to the hospital in Sioux Falls this morning with congestive heart failure. She refused a breathing tube this morning until my uncle talked her into taking one. She is apparently telling everyone that she's ready to die and they even called to get my 86 year old grandma up there to see her, because they don't think she'll last the night. All I can say right now is...WTF? It took me about an hour to walk about 1/2 mile. I stopped and watched the river for a while. I am absolutely at a loss for words...thoughts...anything really. You know, I expected to get a call like this about my 99 year old grandma...not my 64 year old aunt.
