Here it is hump day and I can't wait for Friday! I'll be off work on Friday and can play my new game hopefully. Guild Wars 2 is releasing it's Heart of Thorns expansion and they are also starting their annual Halloween event. I'm soooo excited for both! So here I sit, counting the hours till game time.
I told my mom that she would have to cook this weekend, which probably means I'll go out for pizza and Chinese food. Mom says she does all this stuff for me but she is 85 and about all she does is to organize and wash all of the clothes she has. She has 3 closets full of clothes and some plastic bins. She is currently in the process of putting the summer clothes in the bins and taking the winter ones out of the bins and hanging them up in the closets. I honestly don't see how one woman can have so many clothes! She isn't a movie star. *sigh* She does cook some but I often have to cook it after work. She will start it and tell me she is exhausted and I have to go finish and tend to it. I'm tired too but that doesn't seem to matter. I'm not really sure what she does during the day other than sleep off her sleeping meds and putter around in the yard, talk on the phone a lot and try to get people to come and see her. She does go to doctor appointments and sometimes the store but she gets mostly what she wants (more clothes) and if I ask her to pick up something for me, it is usually wrong.
I feel like I've been fighting a sinus infection all week. I'm feeling better today but still kind of bleh. I've been taking my Chinese herbs to help fight off the infection because I don't want to be sick for the weekend. I'm also thinking about taking off next Friday for Halloween and that will give me more time to play Guild Wars 2. I also plan to take off in December for my birthday and my usual week after Christmas.
Hopefully my mom won't be taking any more emergency visits to the hospital or doctors. I hate using too much leave because I want to add a little every year to count towards my retirement. I often spend a lot of my off time staying at the hospital with mom or taking my mom to the ER for various nonsense. Last time she went to the ER, they kept her there a bit and let her go home. They said her heart rate was irregular and then it calmed down when she got to the ER and they did some tests and let her go. No meds or anything. If she goes to the hospital for her blood sugar being too high and such, she wants me right there with her but I'm getting too old to just sit in a room and watch her sleep so she will feel better and taking time off work to do it. When I had to go to the ER (first time since I was a kid), she didn't answer her phone till I'd been there about 3 hours and then she told me it would take a couple of hours for her to get dressed. By the time she got there, they were putting me in a room. She went to the room with me and then left to get me some clothes. She came back 4 hours later (hospital was only like 10 min or less from home) with my clothes and told me she wasn't coming back till they released me. Yeah, I was feeling the love. On the day they released me, she asked if I could drive myself home. If not, I could get a friend to come get me, who was at work! I drove myself home and figured if I had a wreck and died because I hadn't gotten any sleep, it'd probably be for the best. My mom is the only one that ever makes me have thoughts like that.
Anyway, on to happier stuff. My friend Jo is going to be coming back to Guild Wars 2 this weekend. She took some time off after having surgery so I'll be glad to play with her again and talk to her regularly. I'm hoping my friend Wolfie will play as well but she seems to be in a funk lately and doesn't want to do anything. Hopefully new stuff to do in the game will rejuvenate her. There are a couple of new items that I want to try for which means lots of playing to get them. I can't wait to go back to the Mad King's dungeon again! They had it the first year (2012) but not since. I'm a much better player now so it shouldn't be as difficult as it was the first year.
Ok. Back to waiting for Friday.
