I woke to see the news that my cousin died last night. She had been diagnosed with brain cancer less than 6 months ago. She was 53, and leaves behind a husband and 2 beautiful daughters.

The funeral Mass is Saturday & I don't have to work. It's been a long time since I've attended a full Catholic Mass.

Dad's side of the family was big, so I have lots of cousins.

I can't help wondering what her family went through, having to cope with so much in such a short time.

Flan, I'm so sorry for your loss.

Morning.

What began as a 2 hour delay start for school today has been upgraded to no school.

Icy roads and several accidents already.

Wish Caitlyn didn't have to go in.

Thanks, all.

DH is staying home sick again (cold this time).

I'd like to quiet my mind for a bit.

I hope the church walls don't shake when you walk in, Flan. Peace to you and your family.

Stay save Lily's family!

I have a chest cold I think. Scratchy throat and tightness.

 She was so young (at least from my viewpoint) and she went so quickly.

Thank you.

 The funeral is being held at the parish where I went to school, and I've been back for lots of other funerals.

Her BIL is a priest. I don't know if he'll be saying the Mass or not.

I would love to visit the church I attended as a kid. It's gorgeous. All marble, stained glass, with a very long aisle.

I got my valentines flowers from my dad today. They are tulips, my favorite! Still all closed up, but will be pretty in a few days.

I am so bored. I'm just sitting here watching my "student" work. I'm letting her do all the work, make her mistakes, and I tell her I'm here when she needs help. I'm surfing the Internet for vacations and tv stands.

Funeral for my cousin is still happening. They thought they would have to wait till tomorrow because of the roads. But I guess not.

He was 22.

When is was around 15, my great-grandmother died in January. The ground was froze so hard she couldn't be buried.

It was March when we were finally able to bury her.

That was, hands down, the hardest death I have ever dealt with.

So sorry for your loss, flan. Prayers for the family.

I had to take two boys to the dentist this morning. Being on the road by 7:15 is not my idea of fun.. but, mom was soon on the road to her doctors appointment 2 1/2 hours away. So, grandma got the other job.

Repeat next Monday, for one of the boys. Little DGD goes to the little kids dentist tomorrow. So grandma gets the rest of the kids tomorrow. Braces will be starting soon for the soon to be 12 year old DGD too. Another long road trip for mom or whomever takes whomever where they need to go. Yeah, 5 kids make for a lot of trips and they rarely schedule together. Pain in the arse!

Pick up the 3 year old in about 20 minutes, plus go get their dog. Then the rest at 3:30. I took the other two to school already.

Are we confused yet?

Sigh..

I think he over did it at recess. He was on his way back when it happened. He's more embarrassed than anything.

Yup. That'll do it.

Is the school like it is here and now you have to go pick him up?

Ain't it silly?

We had to have a lung hanging out and they'd still try to make you tough it out.

Now they call over a hangnail.

Aaron had acid reflux.

He would throw up for now reason at all.

Just be sitting there and have an eruption.

He wouldn't get it anywhere but they would call and I'd go get him.

And then they would complain he was missing too much school.

Yeah, that's about it. Last year I had to pick up #1 for Fifth's Disease. I had to take him to the doctor, confirm the diagnosis before he could come back. Which I did, all in the same day. So as long as they confirmed it was Fifth's, he could come back. Made no sense to me other than they could notify parents that there was a case of it.

 I know.  It was the craziest thing.  Luckily the pediatrician was able to fit us in and I was working from home that day.  So he was gone a little over an hour.  Foolish.

They called me this morning, begging to come in to work. I'm on vacation this week!
Apparently, 3 nurses called in sick at the CLSC, and they needed extra help. Offered me time and a half.
So, despite my sore mouth, I went in. Did vaccinations in the morning and TB testing for immigrant kids in the afternoon.

Hmm, seems as though most have had non typical days. Sorry about your family death, Flan.
Weltz that somewhat sucks but since you weren't "vacationing" at least you made extra money.

I also had an atypical day. After working for my new company for 7 months, I got a raise and bonus today. Very nice. Nothing huge, but that college savings account for DD will grow well.

 Apparently.  She was texting and pulled out in front of him.  Didn't stand a chance.  Please tell anyone you know who texts and drives not to.

Found out what killed my cousin.

2 years ago he was injured and shattered his hip. So it was replaced.

He started getting sick, one infection after another.

He began missing too much work, lost his job and then his insurance.

He was in and out of the hospital, and kept getting sicker and sicker.

When he lost the ACA insurance, the hospital sent him home.

He languished and went back and forth to the ER.

The appliance in his hip began to get hot and then it exploded.

The company that built the appliance refused to give the family any information on the appliance without my cousin's signature but buy that point, he wasn't concious.

He actually wasted away.
