What's Been Happening

My poor blog has almost been abandoned lately. With no Internet, it was hard to find time to post. At last, we were able to set up the Internet at Grandpa's house. That certainly makes life easier and makes me happier. :)

These last weeks haven't been easy. My mom gets chemo every two weeks. Yesterday was her third treatment. The first two times, she had to be hospitalized with high fevers. The second time was especially bad. She was the worst I had ever seen her. Her fever never got below 100 and would spike over 103. She was very, very sick. This time, the doctor decided to admit her into the hospital for her treatments to try to prevent the reaction from becoming so severe. So, she's at the hospital now. When I talked to her this morning, she sounded okay, but she had run a fever during the night.

With all this going on, it just wasn't possible for me to drive an hour to work, especially with the weird hours they were giving me. It was really hard for me to quit, but I felt like I had to. I've been looking close by for jobs, but, so far, I haven't been able to find anything. That's been stressful, too. I really need at least a part-time job.

Anyway, I hope I can start to post more often now. Hope everyone has been doing great and enjoying the spring weather!
