Checking In

I have not done anything quilty or crafty this week, and don't anticipate much happening for the next week or so.

We went to the American Idol concert last Friday. While it was good, it was not as good as last years. The format was a bit, um, boring. #10 sang 3 songs, then #9 sang 3, etc. Once the #10 thru #5 sang 3 songs each, they sang one together, then it was intermission. Then more of the same: #4 (Jason) sang 3 songs, #3 (syesha) sang her 3. Then David A sang about 4 songs, David Cook sang about 5 songs and then all 10 of them sang one together. Last year the format was a bit more interesting, it was a lot more mixed up order-wise and noone just sang 3 songs in a row and then wa done. Last year there were a bunch of duets and trios, and it was less predictible. But David Cook, Carly, and Michael were all awesome and made it worthwhile to go. Thing One was over the moon thrilled about it all, and that is what counts the most.

Somehow, I've lost a set of car keys. It has keys and remote for my car, the house and all my store cards on it. I'm not so worried about the keys, but those store cards are a big problem for me...you know it is, you can't get the discounts at the store without the scan cards. Sigh. My CVS card is on there, and I can't use my extra bucks unless I find it. Oh, and all of our library cards are on those scan cards, too. I've searched everywhere and can't find them. I feel like I'm going crazy. Sigh.

My Grama is in the hospital and in very poor conditon. She is almost 96 years old. She fell about 3 or 4 weeks ago and broke her hip. They did a surgery to repair it, but she got some sort of an infection that is causing huge problems now. Apparently she is on super-stong antibiotics and they aren't helping at all. Now her blood is all messed up. Oh, and she's had pnueumonia on and off since the fall, and that is back in a big way now. I went to visit her yesterday and she is not allowed to eat or drink anything because of the pnuemonia, something about it leaking into her lungs when she eats? The minister has been in to visit her and gave her last rites already. So now we just wait to see what happens. It has been 2 days since she ate and they are doing minimal IV fluids, so I imagine that it won't be much longer now until she passes.
