Sickness and Exams

I would like to start off this post by thanking my brother, for sharing his lovely cold with me. I know it came from the bottom of his heart, and I am sincerely grateful. Well, maybe not. He did give me his cold, but, it was totally unintentional. So that is my reason for not being at church today, for which I am sure you are all very grateful. Even though it is close to Christmas, not everyone wants to go around looking like Rudolf. Like me. I better get well soon, considering all of the Zicam, Airborne and Vitamin C Dad has been pumping into me.

All of my CORE exams were last week, and boy am I glad those are over! Latin and Government were fairly easy, Anatomy and Physiology was ok, it would help if you studied the correct material, and British Lit was a nightmare! The only grades I have received are my Latin grades. But I was not worried about that grade, so I am sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for the rest of them. I should receive them soon.

For those of you who do not know, I am now CRCS's yearbook editor! I am soo very excited at this opportunity. We held our first meeting last month, and I am honored to have a very talented staff. Things are off to a fairly good start, and I am praying that we have way more pictures turned in this year, than last year.

Yesterday was an interesting day. We had plans to go to a Christmas party at 12, a play at 2 and then the Cookie Swap at 6. All that changed at 9:30 yesterday morning. Grandma was coming over to check on the little girl's progress of the cookies, when she lost her balance and fell. When she fell, she landed on her left hip and elbow, and her head hit a pottery urn. Surprisingly, her head wasn't the concern, it was her hip. She couldn't put any weight on that leg. Oh, did I mention, Dad was in Vestavia for a Math Tournament with no way to contact him. So Mom and my uncle somehow managed to put Grandma in the van, and they drove down to the hospital to get it checked out. Thankfully, her hip was not broken. They pumped her full of pain meds and sent her home. Due to the fall and the meds she is on, she literally, cannot walk without someone supporting her every step. Which is very limited. Please keep Grandma and especially Mom in your hearts and prayers, as the meds are making Grandma confused and harder to please. Hopefully each day, Grandma will be able to walk and get around more.

It is time for more Vitamin C and Kleenex. You know you are really resembling Rudolf, when your family members start singing the song around you.
