I was awoken to a text from my older sister, she had taken my mom to the clinic because she was not feeling good at all. I guess she has acute kidney problems. They are really not sure what is wrong at this time, lots of testing has to be done but she is in a good hospital and in good spirits. I ended up not working last night because of concern for my mom. She is 75 years old and is in “good” condition, not the best but better than some her age. I picked up both of my kids and met my sisters and niece at the hospital last night. We laughed and giggled with my Mom, lots of fun. She is feeling a little bit better today but they are still doing more testing to find out what is going on with her. My sisters said she just wanted to spend time in the hospital for AC, quiet and good food being made for her. haha! Yep, we are that family. The temperatures here have been about 100° or so without any wind. Horrible and very hot here right now! She is enjoying all the well wishes from friends and family as well as all the attention the staff gives her. She is not a person who asks for much but she likes it when people acknowledge her. Sending her good healing thoughts and prayers to her speedy recovery!
On the way home from visiting my mom at about 10:00 pm I was driving down HWY 101N and getting off on my exit and I ran over, what looked like a 4-6 foot dark pipe in the middle of the road. My car started to thump but it still moved. It also didn’t sound like I had a flat tire at that time. I kept driving until I got home, maybe about ¼ of a mile, not far. I even had a policeman drive behind me so I do not think anything looked like it was wrong. I made it into my parking spot and heard a hissing sound, like air was coming out of the tire. Yep, flat tire. CRAP! I really cannot afford this right now!
In the morning I called for someone to come and change my tire, happy he did it because I wouldn’t have been able to get the tire off because it has a locking lug bolt on it. Why????? Okay. I at least had the thing to get the tire off. Yeah! The tire and the outside of the rim looked fine but when he got the tire off a large chunk of the rim was broken. DAMN! I really wanted to cry at this time but the tow truck guy was really sweet and I was able to make it back into my apartment before I really cried. I have an appointment tomorrow at a place to replace both tire and rim. I don’t know much about cars or tires. I posted on fb about my tire and someone suggested a junkyard for the rim. Nope. Not something I can do. I do not know enough about tires to know if I am getting the right rim or even the right part. I think these people really do not know me.
Okay, I need to sleep for a little bit so I can go to work tonight. I am very, very sleepy right now. Hope my mind stops and I can sleep even a little bit.
