Why This Week Is Going To Suck

This week is going to suck because:

Neil's Dad has to have surgery tomorrow morning. He was diagnosed with cancer a few weeks ago, and while the outlook is good, it's cancer. Typing the word alone makes me shaky.

Neil is out of town presenting his stores' yearly profits and losses to the president and CEO of his company. He had a great year, nothing to worry about, but stressful in and of itself. Not to mention, he will be away while his Dad is having major surgery. And has to somehow get back from L.A. during rush hour traffic to San Marcos to get to class by 7:00.

My shower doors are being installed tomorrow. We've been waiting for them forever, but now I have to be home between the hours of twelve and four instead of at the hospital.

Neil's Mom usually watches Hayden for a couple of hours on Mondays and Wednesdays so I can work. She just called me tonight and had to cancel because another family member is in the hospital for emergency heart procedures tomorrow.

I have a huge deadline this Wednesday and no time to work!

Neil has his first MBA midterm on Wednesday and no time to study.

We have to move almost every item of furniture out of the house on Friday because we're getting our new carpet installed on Saturday. I can't wait for the carpet, but that doesn't make for a fun Friday night, or a relaxing weekend putting the house back together.

All I really care about is that the surgery goes okay. Maybe it's better that there is so much other stuff going on. I should welcome the distraction. If I had time to focus my anxiety in one direction, I might worry myself into oblivion.
