Mom's good, so was today...

By yesterday's criteria, today was alright. Mom's procedure went well and she's doing fine, I didn't feel too horrible (though still not good), and I made it to the store. I'll take it.

I wish I would have slept better, as usual. Every time I got comfortable and started dreaming interesting dreams, the phone would ring or there'd be noise outside. I guess that'll just make me more tired when I go to bed here tonight...hopefully. It's been awhile since I've slept that hard, even if for short periods, taking me a second to realize that I was dreaming as I awaken to answer the phone. Again, I'll take it.

I hope to be productive again tomorrow. I have some calls I still need to make, though some I'm not looking forward to (student loan people, for one...yes, I'm still sick, still broke, and still can't pay you). I have the card situation to look into, my room to clean and organize, and a ton of other stuff. The NFL kicks off, and it should be a good game. I'll probably skip the pregame talk--I'm already sick of hearing about Brett Favre and how much the Saints have partied. Before that, I go see my therapist. It's been awhile. He's a good dude (being an ND fan doesn't hurt :D) and gives good advice. That reminds me, I need to write down what I want to talk about. I can't think of any super-pressing matters, but I'm still sick of being sick and stuck and all that, and the last few days have been extra crazy that way. I'm sure I'll think of something I want to talk about as soon as it's too late.

Indy folks: A friend of mine is a coach at Howe, and they just had a fire that destroyed a lot of athletic equipment, and they, like all IPS schools, didn't have it to spare. Insurance won't cover the losses. Howe hosts Tech this Friday night for football, so get on out there and donate a couple bucks if you have it to spare. My buddy's a good dude making a difference in these kids' lives, and any help would go to great use. Game time should be around 7PM.

I thought I had more to say, but whatever that might have been has left me for now. Thanks to all who sent my mom good vibes! It's much appreciated.

Happy Thursday (or whatever day you're reading this),
