MY MOM IS HOME FROM THE HOSPITAL!!! Big ol' smiley face.

Hospital Blues

Snowy view from the hospital window

My mother was admitted into the hospital Monday morning.  She's suffering from a bad bout of Diverticulitis.  I spent a few minutes visiting with her today.  She wasn't a happy camper and was ready to return back to work.  I told her that the hospital was the best place for her to be until she was well. 
Tentatively she will be there until Friday or when she can eat a more solid diet and keep it down. 

All I can do is send out positive energy and meditate.  She managed to eat some jello I fed to her.  It was strange looking jello I might add that was amber colored and didn't wiggle like the other stuff.  She grimaced like a child told to eat their vegetables.  LOL.  It's almost comical how someone near 60 has baby moments.  But that's my mommy and she's my big ol' baby, which is why I love her so much.

I think I'm going to make my mom a homemade get well card.

Attack of the Stink Bugs

This is the second night a row that I have come across a stink bug in my room.  I thought these little buggers died during the winter season.  So of course I googled them.  Oh the all mighty google goddess. LOL. Anyway they don't die however, they will try to find a way in during the cold months.  Well these suckers are determined.  I live in an condo on the tenth floor.  They must have found a hole outside of my window to take refuge in.  On Thursday one flew on my neck. I was like what in the world as I swatted my neck and it fell in the floor.  The second one this evening was on my water sculpture. 

I can tell the cold has them sluggish because they don't put up a fight or try to fly off when I scoop them up on a sheet of paper.  I'm always afraid that they will emit the foul odor hence their pretty name.  So far no bad odor.  I would open up my window and let them out, however I would have to remove the screen.  So it's just easier to flush them down the toilet.  God bless their stinky souls.

Quiet Space

Had an awesome workout and the sauna was great.  I spent about 30 minutes in the sauna breathing and meditating.  The quietness helped bring a little more clarity as I'm trying to declutter my mind.
