I know that when it rains, it does indeed pour.

Here's the rundown of the major life events that have occurred since the end of April.

1.  I've had laryngitis/mis-diagnosed bronchitis for three weeks.

2.  My Nana (my dad's mom) died 6 days before Mother's Day and 7 days before her 78th birthday.

3.  One of my cousins was in a motorcyle accident, and they put him in a coma.

4.  Another of them is having a lump removed from her breast today.

5.  Yet another cousin's six month old baby may have kidneys that don't function.

NOTE: I don't have any brothers or sisters, but all of my family (except for me, of course) live within a 20 mile radius of one another, so I'm really close to my cousins.

6.  My dad is having numbness on his left side, and is having tests today to determine if he had a stroke.

I have to say, I'm ready for a drought.  I'm a bit distraught about not being able to do anything about anything, and I'm very tired.
