I'm thankful for friends!

Today was a super rough day for me. It seemed so many things kept going wrong and I was super overwhealmed. To start the day off I found out that a refinery near where my mom's dad lives had blown up. I found this out just as class was beginning so I couldn't check on him for a while. He was fine thankfully! My parents had been gone for the weekend visiting family and friends. . . and so it was me and g-pa here at the casa. I went to Esh's house to grab some lunch real fast but because I was being a goofy and trying to beat Esh into her house I inadvertantly locked my keys in my running car. DUMB!!!!! So, Esh and I run over to my house to search out a spare key. I was greeted at the door by mom's friend who was here to fix grandpa some lunch. She said he had fallen down and she had come and found him several hours later. I didn't know what to do really, someone was on their way to help him up and I had a class to get to. I made it to class a bit late but it worked out because they were still cleaning my lab room. When I got home from lab g-pa had fallen again and decided he didn't want to get up. We coaxed him to sit up on the floor and eat some food. I called Carl and asked if he would mind coming and helping me move g-pa to the couch. So, in a few moments Esh and Carl arrived and helped me move him. At this point I was emotionally drained and had a paper to write and all I wanted to do was cry and sleep and have no responsibilities. Esh calmed me down while Carl helped g-pa get settled. The rest of the afternoon I sat and wrote my paper and watched g-pa sleep. Carl and Esh came again to keep me company and help move g-pa back to his bed. By this time he was so confused it wasn't even funny. He wouldn't even eat a hamburger from his favorite restraunt.

For the rest of the evening Esh and I studied biology and Carl watched his Bourne movie on his lap top. My family got home about 12:30 am and I'm so glad not to be in charge anymore! Whew, relief! Now I just need to study for my biology paper.

I hope and pray I wake up to a better day tomorrow. Now I'm off to bed to catch a little shut-eye.
