Bonus Time!

It's Clinique Bonus time again. This is actually a pretty good one, so I might have to go and get it. In ours you get a make-up bag (always...it's actually cute this time!), mini powder, mini sunblock, mini Take the Day Off, mini Dramatically Different Lotion, and mini Black Honey almost lipstick. What I'm going to spend my $21.50 on, I do not know. I'm almost out of my Take the Day Off, so I might get that. I also could use some more 7 Day Scrub, but I use it so sporadically, I don't know that it is worth it. I definitely do not need anymore lipstick. I might get some Touch Tint. I finally ran out of my tube. I swear it last 2 years (yes, I know I should have thrown it away long before that.) Anyway, it doesn't start until March 11, so I've got time to decide.

Now for my unhappy...my Grandma Swartz is at the emergency room right now. :( She's been sick with flu-like symptoms for the last couple of weeks. Actually she went to the doctor last week and started to feel better, but I guess she woke up feeling really bad again yesterday. She asked my aunt to take her to the hospital, but my aunt talked her into just going to her doctor. The doctor prescribed an antibiotic and something for her stomach and sent her home. The antibiotic caused her to break out in hives and she still couldn't eat or drink anything. I talked to her this morning and she didn't sound good at all. She said my aunt was going to take her to the hospital as soon as she got off work and that she thought she had thrown up blood earlier in the morning. I asked her if she wanted anything and she said my dad was supposed to bringing her some Pepto for her stomach, but hadn't got there yet (my mom is at a training session in KC all week). I talked to my dad and he hadn't had a chance to get there and asked me if I would take it to her on my way to work. So I did, but I had just missed them. My aunt took her to the hospital about 5 minutes before I got there according to my uncle who was there doing some work on her house. Then I talked to my mom who was really upset that my grandma didn't call her sooner. My mom would have gladly stayed home today and taken her and she was upset because she thought my aunt should have taken her yesterday when my grandma asked her to. I'm sure at this point they will have to admit her just to get her hooked up to an IV and rehydrated. She said she hasn't eaten or drank much in the last couple of days, so she's probably severely dehydrated. Anyway, I got pretty upset about this morning. I don't know if it is hormonal (stupid period!) or what. My grandma almost never gets sick and never for long. Then I started to feel bad, because my grandma & I used to be really close, but as the years go by I talk to her less and less. I need to be better about that.

Okay, I feel better now that I have vented. Talk to you soon!
