Had to be something

to ruin a prefectly beautiful day...somewhere between my lunch meeting and the campus bus, I lost my watch. You know, it took me FOREVER to finally find one that I liked and now it's gone. It always had a rare ability to just fall off my arm, usually when I'm digging for something in my purse. *sigh* It's the clasp that was never 100%. Somehow I knew this day would come. Well I guess it gives me a good reason to buy a new one.

Also, an update on my mom. She's been in the hopsital for a little more than a week getting tests done and such. She's feeling better, but the doctors have exhusted all they can really do. So it's looking more & more like an amputation is in the future. She's not ready for it, so she's asked the docs to keep trying to save her leg. I'm preparing myself for the day when she does decide to go ahead with it. I fear that it's just a matter of time - or a miracle can happen. I know I need to prepare myself and to be strong for her. But as long as she's on this earth, I'm happy. I know if it was my leg, I'd be fighting like mad too. But I really can picture her strolling down the mall with Paris in one of those scooters. Watch out! :-)
