senior citizen wednesday?

another sleepless night. agh. emersyn has turned into a night owl. whatev. maybe she's not feeling good?? kell is currently at the dr. with her right now....however, i am partial to think this may be one of those '2 year old stages'....

went to the y to work out this morning. senior citizens every which way you turned. not discriminating-i just have never seen so many at one time outside of the hospital or a nursing home! how cute though. it was fun to watch them. one little guy, we will call him 'willy'-he looked like a willy....he was working out in his polyester pants pulled up to his chest with cute little suspenders on. glasses hanging at the end of his nose. and of course, his hush puppy shoes. little shuffling gait that old people have...willy was flirting with...lets see....we will call her thelma. thelma was decked out in a workout headband (!) and spandex. what a hot item she must be in the elderly community...i enjoyed watching them from afar-conjuring all kinds of ahem.. talk in my mind. (you should try it-its great fun i assure you) and everyone knew everyone-they all stopped to talk to eachother and pat eachother on the back. 'go get 'em', or 'good for you'. what a neat little support system... and let me tell you....it was soo nice to workout and not feel like you are being molested by the eyes by some freak who thinks they look hot in a wife beater and shorts. ew. it was nice to work out and not feel violated....a couple of the old folks even made conversation with me. old people are funny. i guess thats part of the reason i love my job so much. if you havent had a conversation with a random old person in a while, do it. you will walk away smiling thinking, 'what a cutie.' of course, some old people stink, like literally, but if you breathe in and out of your mouth, the smell is something you can get past. speaking of smell.... off on a tangent, well kinda, i had a patient 2 weeks ago that had a kidney stone...well, prior to his hospitalization, he had not bathed/showered in THREE YEARS. I AM NOT exaggerating. literally, three years. how does one 'accomplish' this? and it showed...simply amazing. just when you think you've seen/heard it all....

the state of wisconsin is still in mourning over the 'loss' of brett. the 9 oclock news last night consisted of ONLY him. no 'top stories' or weather checks-only brett. craziness.

on a closing note....my sister ali is in ecuador. and if you all have followed the news, you know that colombia and ecuador are not getting along right now...and bush is backing colombia. so if you are a believer in prayer...say a prayer for her safety....and if you dont, well say a prayer anyways.... :)
