From bad to worse

It's funny how life has a funny way of putting things in perspective. I've had what is probably the worst week in a long time. A critical machine at work broke and I spent all week trying to get it going (it now runs and we've had shifts running all weekend to try and catch up). My wife got called away to Toronto for the weekend leaving me with two kids that had nasty colds. And Saturday had me watching the Bulldogs lose their second game in a row to give their previous 2 game lead up to a 2-2 series tie.

Just when it all kept piling up it was all about to be thrown out the window. My Mom called to tell me she had taken my Dad to the hospital for a heart problem. Having survived a nasty stroke many years back this is not to taken too lightly. Now begins the typical fun time in Canadian medicine of waiting. We wait until they can get him into the cardiac testing schedule for a stress test. I've everything crossed that can be crossed and still allow me to function so let's hope it's as good news as is possible in these kind of situations shall we? The Bulldogs won last yesterday to go up 3-2 after all so things are looking up right?
