Today was my most jam packed day in a long while. As a tribute, this is my list of what happened today:
1. Woke up this morning to my mom calling to ask me what I knew about my sister-in-law being in the emergency room. I knew nothing which prompted me to say,"Are you serious?" and for her to say, "no I'm joking... of course I'm serious, why would I joke about something like that?" duh, but it was very early in the morning.
2. Next was me calling my brother to find out more info. I found out that she fainted yesterday around 6 coming home from the metro. She fainted in front of a store and the nice people called an ambulance. They since found out that it was a blood clot caused by the pill. Interesting something I never knew- the pill can randomly cause blood clots even if it doesn't initially. To all the ladies reading this, if you're on the pill and get an acute pain in your leg- GO TO A DOCTOR!!! (The blood clot hit her lungs and we are grateful it hit that and not other places.)
3. Off to the DMV to get my driver's license. The CA driver's license test is apparently difficult (I feel like the Illinois was longer) and of the 15 of us who were taking the test only two of us passed. Also weird- they don't print off your driver's license at the dmv. I have to wait for it in the mail.
4. Then I had to take my 900,000,000 trip to Target to spend tons of money getting random stuff for the apt. Now however I can officially say that my last big purchases are the bed and kitchen chairs (but I have stools now which at least gives me a place to sit at my table and desk.)
5. Of course I realized I forgot extension cords so I had to stop somewhere again...
6. Street cleaning wasn't over yet so I went to the bank
7. It still wasn't over so I went to Trader Joe's. (Man, there should be a TJ's in Urbana)
8. Came home to go nuts over not being able to do anything for said sister-in-law in the hospital which was weird because the hospital is like 5 blocks away from my place (a little farther than that but whatever)
9. Finally in the evening I went with Kenneth first to his place where I did some cleaning up for Krysta's brother and sister coming into town then to the hospital where of course in the er I went through complete light-headedness (really bothersome to deal with) but felt better when I found out my brother fainted while laying down in the er last night. Ahh we are family. She was moved to a room finally which was actually very sad because the room has very limited visiting hours whereas the er we could come and go as we pleased. I'll be able to help out tomorrow by picking up Krysta's sister at the airport.
A bit of a nuts day.
