What a week

Well Happy Independence Day to my fellow Americans (hey, I sounded like the president lol)
It’s been a week …. I lost my job AGAIN! (don’t laugh, I know you want to, but don’t!) I was laid off in November but called back one day a week in March. They let me go again on Thursday, said I wasn’t needed any longer. Sigh. The story of my life.

Thursday was also my mom’s birthday. She would have been 81 years old. (Hard to imagine) She passed on Dec 12, 1990, and I miss her every day still.

Then yesterday, my sister told me she had to have her appendix removed. Turns out when they went in this morning, it was so inflamed and infected that it affected a portion of her colon, which also had to be removed. Good Lord, that was scary. We expected her in and out of the OR, and 3 hours later, we’re told she’s going to ICU, but no details forthcoming at that point. Sheesh.
But she’s alright, everything went well, she’s alert and talking, so I know she’ll be ok.

And finally, there is a family of birds living (once again) in my son’s bedroom ceiling. There must be a small opening in the bricks at the top of the house, and unfortunately, we can’t get to it from inside as the closet has been rebuilt. (It’d have to be torn down to get to the point of entrance)
Anyhow, so far today there have been two sparrows frolicking in MY room! (One we managed to let out the window) The other one is still hiding behind my furniture. Meanwhile, I hear a constant chirping in his ceiling (it’s a dropped ceiling) and when I lifted up the panel, I see a little beak come out looking for food. How sad … it’s a baby and it’s mother is no longer in there with it   (And the cat is VERY interested in the chirping, he hasn’t moved from his spot on the floor in several hours) Ack! What to do, what to do? I don’t want to put it outside, it won’t survive, but if I leave it, it will most likely die!

So there’s been my exciting weekend … I’m now off to resume watching the Twilight Zone marathon and cross stitch some more.
Have a safe night!
