I haven't posted in a while

I've been sick with this miserable virus for the past few days. I haven't had a lot of energy for anything including posting. I wanted to have some time off to myself, but this wasn't what I planned. It began as a scratchy throat and a cough. From there everything went downhill:-(
There is hope though, this too will pass. Thru the nasal passages, thru the stomach and bowels. Ha! Ha!

Boy, how time flies

I cannot believe how quickly time has flown. I have been very busy doing my normal routine: work, school, church, saving the world.
Well, just kidding about that last one. Sometimes it feels like it. Last Thursday was ridiculous.
I walked in the door Thursday evening only to discover a friend had called because she was having a panic attack. We talked and prayed together. When I left her she was enjoying an aromatheraputic bath surrounded by inspirational music.
I went to a meeting and when I came back in I checked on her as promised only to find out that she was finally able to rest. Yay!
I went to bed, but for some reason, couldn't sleep. I decided to get up and post my paper on the digital dropbox.
This was at 1:30am, people. When I heard this tremendous crash on my front porch, followed by this urgent pounding.
My dog was going nuts and I don't mind saying that I was scared. I asked who it was only to find out that it was my next door neighbor.
she came over screaming some incoherent, disjointed stuff about her brother going crazy and having a heart attack. She went on about the phone was off the hook and he pushed her down.
She was in her underwear and had her grandson with her. He was in a pajama bottom with no shoes or shirt.
I am wondering why she didn't put the phone on the hook.
We called 911 and while we're waiting, she casually mentions that her brother was using something and starting complaining about chest pains and he was going to die.
EMS took him to the local county hospital and she went home. I stayed with her until her family came to be with her. I think I finally got to bed about 4 am.
He came home the next day and was "resting comfortably".
I haven't seen nor heard from either one of them since. Some how I think I would prefer not to since it seems like one continuing saga after another with them.
