The Weekly News

I had the worst week ever but I tried my best to make the best of it. When life seems to get better, things happen to try and ruin it. Grandma (my husband’s grandma) has been sick for the past few weeks. David and I visited grandma a couple times because she didn’t feel comfortable at the hospital by herself. I felt bad because I couldn’t stay with her most of the time due to school and work. We still don’t really know what is wrong with her. At first, we thought that she had a mini stroke but that wasn’t it. The doctors didn’t know what she had but she did feel numbness to parts of her leg. Even though grandma isn’t a believer, I’m still praying for her to get better.

Last week, I also received a message from my sister, on Facebook saying “CALL ME SOON!” I don’t know why she didn’t just call me or text me. I found out horrible news about my brother and sister-in-law. I’m not going to go in details but it saddened me. Too bad you can’t choose your family like how you can choose a friend.

My coworker’s dad passed away and so I picked up her shift for Saturday. It is truly something that is so sad because I can’t ever imagine losing my parents. My friend’s husband was diagnosed with a rare diabetic disease. It is so rare that only 116 people in the United States have it. The disease attacks certain parts of the body, enabling a person from using that part of their body. My friend is thankful that it didn’t attack her husband’s heart. At first, the pain started from his neck and then it traveled down to his legs. The good thing is that the disease can reverse itself but the bad thing is that right now, there is no sign the disease stopping in him. I feel so bad for her because when she found out about her husband’s health, she was in a different city, training for a job. I’m sure it was hard for her to know about it and still have to work and be away from her husband for an entire week. 

On to the good part of my week, I was informed by one of my instructors that she nominated me for Student Ambassador. It’s nice to know that someone sees all of my hard work that I put into school. Now if someone would just pay for my school tuition, I would be the happiest person ever! I do however enjoy being in school again. I like having a busy life so that I’ll never be bored.

I have also decided that I will start working out again. I’m actually at my best in many years but I’m sure that I can be even healthier. I’ll try to fit in working out because it is a good source of stress relief. It is a good thing that I have free access to a treadmill and workout equipment due to my job.
