Today started way too early for my liking.  It would have been fine if I hadn't stayed up till 2 something last night.  Just couldn't sleep.

The only reason I was up so early too was because my mom's computer illiterate.  She was trying to get connected to a conference presentation but couldn't figure it out.  I will give her the benefit of the doubt because it took me about 8 minutes to figure it out myself, but I was sleepy, having just been woken up from my restful slumber.  But I went to bed again after getting her connected and with sound.

Soon as she was done watching this presentation though, she was all over my ass to get stuff done.  The main thing she was on me about was actually kind of important.  I had to go to my grandpa's and go with him to the nursing home to see my grandma.  She's got Alzheimer's if you didn't know and has for quite a while, but she's doing well with it.  Our main mission was to go get her dirty clothes and take some clean socks to her.  This was accomplished no sweat.  We even got to give her a little ride down the hall.  The thing that worried me was my grandpa's driving.  Mind you, this man is 85 years old but still drives like a teenager.  I don't think it's that his reaction time is slow but that he gets distracted while he's driving and doesn't pay attention to where he should be looking.  I was a little scared, but I'm used to riding with my sister by now and my mom's not the best at paying attention either.

Once that mission was accomplished and I was back home, I get a call from my sister.  She's coming home sick, sore throat and all.  This wouldn't be bad but she has track sectionals tomorrow and I want her to perform well.  I got her some Tylenol and then I had to go to the library.  Jenna wanted some music and I'm beginning to watch How I Met Your Mother.  Excellent show by the way.  I got back from the library and ended up watching 7 episodes of HIMYM.  I might even watch some more after I get done with Chuck and House tonight.

Went for a short 5 miler before getting a shower and getting all snazzed up for Lauren Minor's birthday dinner.  It was a good time, but only, if only...

Dad's done in the shower so I gotta go watch TV.  Hopefully I'll get more runs in this week than I have in previous weeks.  My homemade Strassburg sock seems to be doing the trick on my Achilles.

See you tomorrow.
