What a crummy weekend!!! It’s rainy and gloomy….just like they forecasted…who’d have guessed! I just wish they’d get it wrong and it would be sunny and bright and no rain!! To get myself out of the funk I’ve been in I treated myself to some much needed pampering. I went and had my hair trimmed, it was beginning to look quite shaggy and the blowing it out of my eyes was getting a little old and tiresome. With the way I wear my hair it doesn’t take long to get a trim since it’s a razor cut and styling it is a snap since it’s just blown dry, I love easy styles!! Then I headed over to get my nails done, they were looking really bad since it had been a month since my last nail appointment. By the time I finished with that my head was pounding….so much for the pampering part! At least I got it done and I feel a little abit more “polished!”

Today I talked to my father, he is in Alabama on a hunting trip. As he is telling me about his week and what he didn’t manage to hunt…(poor guy, not one deer!) he dropped this little tidbit on me:

Dad: “Oh, by the way, next Thursday I’m having one of those angioplasty’s done.”

Me: “Uhh, dad you….uh…say…WHAT?”

Dad: “Yes, I have a small blockage, nothing big. But they are doing the angio and they don’t know if they will have to do a balloon or a stint till they go in.”

Me: “Dad, when did you find this out?”

Dad: “Umm……….last week.”

Dead Silence………………………..

Me: “Dad, you need to tell me these things, I want to know what’s going on, ok?”

Dad: “Well, you don’t need to worry.”

Me: voice raising “Well, I have the right to worry and if I don’t know about these things how can I pray about them and just be prepared for things, etc, etc.!!!!!”

Dad: “Ok, I get it….”

Me: “Ok, I love you.”

Dad: “I love you, too.”

UGH!!!!!!!!!! I hung up the phone and cried for a minute….what any good daughter would do, right? This is when I hate living away from family. I called my sister to see if she knew about “the procedure” and of course, she didn’t. But while I’m on the phone with her, dad called her for her birthday. She called me back and said he didn’t mention “the procedure” so she brought it up…he confessed. Stubborn man! So she will be at the hospital when he has it done. I’m worried about him. My dad is as strong as an ox, and has been healthy as one too. So to hear this has kind of thrown me. So my friends if you would, please keep my dad in your thoughts and prayers this week. I’d really appreciate it!

So that’s my weekend so far…..how’s yours?
