05:45 AM: I’m up.
06:15 AM: Facebooked and blogged. Friend count: 275. Facebook Page fan count: 51.
06:45 AM: I may not attend the WPSBC Alumni Association convention this weekend with Mom so ill. So I talked to a friend in Pittsburgh to see if she’d allow [Mentat] to sleep on her couch Thursday night before the convention. She said that she would, except that her couch was already spoken for by another alumnist, who will also be coming to Oakland on Thursday. However, she gave me a few other suggestions, and I’ll call those folks presently.
07:15 AM: Created audio journal episode AJE-2010-08-03-06-29 in which I mostly recorded thoughts and medications about Mom, her current hospitalization, and how lousy I’m going to feel if she passes away.
07:20 AM: I’m going back to bed for a while. I’m still sleepy, as I probably didn’t sleep very well last night; feeling worried and sad for Mom and all.
10:30 AM: I’m back up again.
12:00 PM: If I end up not going this weekend, [Tad] says that [Mentat] can stay with him on Thursday night.
12:15 PM: In talking with my sister this morning along with some folks in Pittsburgh, I’m leaning back toward attending the WPSBC Alumni Association convention this weekend. Since as all use cell phones, I would quickly get the word should Mom take a turn for the worse, and get on the next train or bus home. Plus, with Mom sleeping so much of the time, she probably wouldn’t miss me if I am gone for a few days. I’ll decide for sure whether or not I’m going on Thursday morning.
02:55 PM: Watched the 2010-06-27 and 2010-07-04 episodes of CBS’s Face The Nation news show on the DVR while writing out bill payments.
03:55 PM: Watched today’s episode of The Young and the Restless on the DVR.
04:15 PM: Leaving for the hospital now, to visit Mom.
07:00 PM: I’m home again. See the Mom’s Status: 2010-08-03 post for details of today’s visit.
10:00 PM: Talked with [Emmy] to chase the blues about Mom away for a while.
10:40 PM: Read more of the Frankenstein book; chapter 21 tonight. I’ll read this and following ones again with [Emmy] when she next visits here.
12:15 AM: Spent the last hour or so looking through Mom’s photo albums; paying particular attention to pictures of her. I miss her.
12:20 AM: Bed time. So good night, take care, and look for more prose here tomorrow.
