On my way to school this morning, my step-mom called me and said that my dad had a bad seizure last night. He's in the hospital, but, we think he'll be able to come home tomorrow evening. He's doing pretty good, and can talk better than he was this morning, according to my step-mom. I went to visit with him for a couple of hours as soon as I got out of my workshop today. I was so hoping that he was going to be okay since the new medicine seemed to be working. He's had a couple of really good months up until now. They will now add another new anti-seizure medication. Hopefully, there will be no bad side-effects like the first medication. Please pray for my dad. I don't want anything else to happen to him.

School has already been called off tomorrow for the impending "Snowmageddon" storm. I normally LOVE my snow days, but, I'm actually, kinda sad this time. Morgan is spending the week at Raelann and Adrean's. Jake and Amanda are stranded in Tulsa. Amanda rode to work with Jake, so she could go buy their groceries today. Jake's boss told him to stay in Tulsa tonight, because they were going to need him there the next few days. His boss is putting them up in a hotel, right next to his workplace, feeding them, etc., for the next few days. They didn't take clothes or anything, so, they had to go buy clothes for Jake to work in, food for the baby, diapers, etc. They had just planned on coming home as soon as Jake got off work.

Normally, when we have snow and ice, we often lose electric service. My dad comes over, hooks up my generator, checks on me and Morgan, and we do just fine. But, this time, of course, he's in the hospital, and they may end up staying there if it's bad by tomorrow evening. So, I won't see my kids, my dad, or anyone. It's going to be pretty lonesome. A snow day, with nobody to share it with. Sucks to be me. Praying that nobody loses electricity.

Oh, and by the way, thanks for the call. I needed that. A nice surprise.
