Its been a really strange day. It started with me not getting up and doing anything that I had aspired to do (aka clean my room so it could be walked through rather then climbed through) and eventually was running late for my radio show due to my computer being set a hour earlier than Colorado time. I caught it just in time and frantically dragged the huge trash bags filled with consignment items down to my car. The gas light was on... I decided to risk it and started to sweet talk my car. By the time I was on my way I knew I would be late. I called Stacey so she could cover for me and sped my way to Carbondale. I was driving on empty with fingers crossed telling my car over and over that I would get it gas if it just got me to the radio station. On the back road I passed two cars feeling extremely guilty (over the double yellow lines) vocally apologizing through my window as I zoomed past. "I'M JUST REALLY LATE FOR MY RADIO SHOW!" The second woman flipped me off. Then I realized that there was a cop hidden and tried to slow down. This was in vain though because I soon saw him turn on his lights. The woman who flipped me off past me and the cop came to my window and asked me why I was in such a rush. I explained the radio show fiasco. "Well I'm sure you like this" he said (indicating my license) "and this" (indicating my car) "and you could get your license suspended for this, and a $250 ticket. I know that your radio show is important but so is your safety.... so remember that this is a 35mph road next time." I looked up at him and began thanking him over and over again for letting me off with a warning. I made it to my radio show five minutes late. After the show my dad called me to let me know he was taking my mom to the hospital because he thought she was having or had a stroke. She had been forgetting things all day and couldn't remember what year it was. I thought back to the morning before my mom had left for the grocery store. She was asking me if I knew where her shoes were which seemed normal enough, but really it was the start of short term memory loss. I ended up at the hospital a few hours later where I learned that she had just had a seizure so things weren't as bad as they seemed. She is staying there overnight. Evan and I both started crying when we got to her room and saw her in bed. It was just too much. She's okay though. Her tongue is black and blue from where she bit it. My uncle got into a car accident today and was taken away in an ambulance, but he is okay too.
