Happy, sad, excited

Thu Jul 19, 11:33 PM

Now that I have the awesome new computer, I am in the process of simultaneously downloading season 2 episodes of "How I Met Your Mother", watching same, and ripping my CD collection to my computer. You have no idea how insanely happy that makes me. Now that I think of it I have been pretty chipper lately. Things at work have been hectic, (people quitting, people bitching about new systems, new staff etc) but I still really like what I do. I think I said that before, but its true. I was on the bus coming home today and caught myself grinning for no reason. Either I am happy or I am starting to go insane.

I am also really excited about this weekend. I guess we are staying the night in a hotel in Edmonton as Mom and Shirley don't want to drive back at night. I got an email from my mom, she said that Bernie is in the hospital, that she called the ambulance and everything. He's on a lot of oxygen and antibiotics for a lung infection. She said that he's fading but will still give you the tone if you do something wrong. Mom said he even perks up when the young nurses come into the room. I love Bernie, he is such a great, tough, awesome uncle and I am really going to miss him. Mom is kind of up in the air about how to feel about all of this. Shirley asked that he be kept in the hospital over the weekend, that he lasts that long. She's hoping that she can have the birthday she wanted, that she planned and deserves. I hope she gets it too. Its been a rough year for her. Mom (and me too I guess) is not sure what to do here, she's just going with Shirley on this one.

Heh, I really wasnt planning on getting all sad there. I think this weekend will be good for Shirley, and mom and Al and April too. A break for all of them. I hope that Bernie is as stubborn as he ever was and gets through the weekend.

I took this today at the train station. Who knows what it really means.
