Hey- it's August!

Wow! I didn't have a entry in here for about forever. Life is pretty much the same since then. I did register for my classes this next semester in July- that was like a blast from the past except that it is so 'high-tech' compared to only four years ago. Some more big news is that my brother was put in the hospital in SF on Tuesday night. I got a phone call right after I was done with work and was told he had been coughing up blood and he had major pains in his rib area. He had been sick for a while, but the doctors in Brookings just basically gave him antibiotics and said it should cure it- it didn't. Turns out his leg which had swelled up to about twice it's normal size had blood clots in it (even though Brookings had looked and not found any). He is on blood thinner and is being observed through the weekend. I took off Wednesday to be with him and my mom. And through sheer luck I was able to spend most of Thursday at the hospital as well. He is obviously getting better, because he is surly as hell. I'm not going to go as long today- because all I get is yelled at by him. I thought I would take an afternoon for me.

There is good news- I am planning on getting a computer of my own soon- with some educational loans I should be able to get one and also internet access- finally! I am trying to not get too excited about it- because it may fall through- I hope not. Well- off to the hospital I go!
