Play Me...
The title of the above song seems to sum up everything that's been going on in my world since the last time I posted. Things have truly gotten crazy...
By all indications, my Aunt Byrd has given up on trying to fight to recover from her illness - but at the same time she refuses to give up on life. She has had a series of small strokes, she has had a minor case of pneumonia, she has had a couple of minor heart attacks, she has a series of infections that are resisting antibiotics and she refuses to drink anything - resulting in her being hooked up to a constant IV push of fluid... but she is awake and alert, talkative and in good spirits... until you mention that she needs to eat or drink something so she can get better... her doctor says it's only a matter of time before she dies... there is nothing more that he can do for her. Since I'm still out of work I am spending as much time with her as I can... I dread each time I get to her room because I don't know what I'll find and I fear leaving because I don't know if I'll get another chance to see her.
Getting back to that out of work thing... I've had a bunch of interviews that haven't gone anywhere, so I've finally broken down and involved a headhunter in the process. In addition to having them try to find me a permanent job, I'm having them look for some temporary work for me... I need something to distract me from my Aunt's situation... and if it brings me money in the process - YAY ME!!
Also since I posted last, I've been fortunate enough to have survived to once again pass another birthday. Although I spent the day with friends and family,I'm glad it's over. I have never liked making a big deal about getting older... it happens to all of us.
There's really nothing much else going on with me right now. I hope that you all are enjoying the views before you, I'm doing all I can to enjoy my own.
