HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BOB!
You know dad is feeling better because he wants to go to the casino for his birthday. Mom isn't feeling up to it though, so you know that she must be sick.

A Fun Day!
Already they are screaming at each other. Then, Grandma called for mom, and when I went to tell her, where do you think she was?....Down the driveway getting dad's newspaper. I don't know what to do except to tie her to the bed. Now I know how people get in trouble when taking care of the elderly. They have no alternatives sometimes. Did she somehow forget what the doctor said between yesterday and TODAY?!?

There's already paper particles on the floor, and dad's mess in the kitchen from his 2 hour long breakfast. Then, he was arguing with us because we threw away is coffee that was in an expired container. And, if I here the word "ain't" one more time, I'm going to scream. Mom and I tell dad all the time not to use that word, and he uses it about 10 times a day. I sure didn't miss that!

Thank God I'm going for my Spanish class soon. Tomorrow is the garage sale though, which I almost forgot about until the neighbor called and reminded me.

Dr. Reiderman
Now, mom wants me to call Dr. Reiderman for her. I don't know why she makes me do all of her dirty work. Why can't she call him? I can understand getting the newspaper, cleaning, and doing the other things that she can't/shouldn't do, but she's getting ridiculous! I'm trying to get some work done before I leave for class. She acts as though I have nothing else to do. She is exactly like my Grandma!

Finally, Some Good News!
I just heard from Jenny, and she's ready for me to start full-time. I will be going to New York sometime in the near future to train. Yippee!

After Spanish Class
When I got home from my Spanish class, we were supposed to have cake for dad's birthday, but mom was too sick. Apparently, I can't leave them alone for a second! Dad told her to take TWO Vicodins for her pain, and she was sicker than a dog! She called the Pharmacist, who told her to drink a lot of water, and sleep it off. Dr. Reiderman ordered an MRI for her at 7:00 p.m.

The Nurse was also at our house to visit dad. She said he's doing great, and that he can drive (I'm sure short distances only). He has therapy at home tomorrow.

There was also a Roofer here to give us a quote because while dad was in the hospital, we discovered that their was a leak in his closet. He basically said that we need a new roof.

MRI
The MRI place was past Great America. Afterwards, she felt even more sick, but she makes herself sick! She said it was too closed in. I might have to send her to Grandma's to be taken care of because if I have a Stroke, I don't know who's going to take care of me! It will take 48 hours for the results.

Can Anything Else Go Wrong?
My closet shelf fell down today. I don't even know how I'm going to get it back up again.

Birthday
Needless to say dad didn't have the greatest birthday.
