Maa maa.

Jan 22, 2010

Things are maa maa (Japanese for so-so).

Mom is doing better. Her brain seems to be back from it's extended vacation. She was super happy the other day that [TMI alert] she had a good bowel movement. The paranoid delusions about being incarcerated amongst the Nazis have gone away.  She is still pretty weak. I don't know how much longer she'll be at the rehab facility. I talked to my husband yesterday about building a ramp to get a wheelchair up the 3 feet from the ground to our front door.

Unfortunately, with the new year, her copays and deductible have reset. I don't know how much this trip to the rehab facility, her hospital stay last week are going to set us back, but we'll see.

I broke my stall. I am down 1 pound from where I was on December 29.  And my size 28 jeans are falling off. I'm going to try on the size 24 Levis(!!!!) in my drawer this weekend.

My wonderful daughter announced this morning that we can only speak in Japanese when we ride in the truck. Then she sang a song in her made up "Japanese." She's been trying to talk to her Obaachan in her made-up Japanese, but the Japanese grandma doesn't understand. Obaachan and her Papa are teaching her lots of Japanese phrases.

Work is still nightmarish. I found out that I didn't qualify for one of the positions that I applied for last week. I'm hoping the upcoming government openings will be much more specific than the ones they've already opened up.

I'm still missing deadlines right and left. But they won't fire me because they can't hire anyone. A girl from the office has a job in Qatar if our company gets the contract. I'm happy for her, but it will mean that her work will get put on me.

I'm sooooo thankful it is Friday!!
