Boy is my noggin ever full today... Part 1

Boy is my noggin ever full today... I've sat down to write literally almost every day since my last post and it always winds up falling back into my drafts.  

Something has been mentally screwing with me for a while now and it may have come to fruition yesterday morning when I got a text from Mom that said she and dad were on the way to the E.R., her blood pressure was 240/140 and please get a prayer chain started.  

I felt "as weak as a cat" as my Mom says... I made a post and tagged her page on Facebook to get some prayers happening.  I have a friend who was surprised to read in my Mom's blog several months ago that she had called me because she needed a prayer partner while they were on a trip and having a situation with their bike.  I totally believe in the power of prayer.  I totally believe in a higher power that can bestow grace and/or mercy on us.  I also believe in the power of the Universe to unfold in the way that it should for reasons we may not understand. I believe in many things... I'm not lacking on open mindedness.  


A few of Mom's friends and my aunt sent their phone numbers to make sure I had them and I got dressed and went out the door.  As I was pulling out of my driveway I got a text from Dad - "BP under control".  A huge wave of relief rushed over me and off to the hospital I went.  

On the way to the hospital I was running things through my head that I needed to do... on this

list of things was I had no ciggies and truly hadn't had enough java to be driving.. so I stopped into the Citgo to pick up these items.  As I paid the cashier and rushed out I thought of the episode of Seinfeld in which Elaine's date is hit by a car on the way to meet her at the theater and she stops for Juju Beans on the way out of the theater... MY thought process was, "I don't know how long I'll be there..."  I had thrown a couple of books and a phone charger in my bag too...  It seemed perfectly logical, yet somehow I felt guilty about it...
