day #13

Day #13 this week

well this week has been..insane to say the least. I dreaded Thursday and friday all week so that put a damper on things. Sunday was a nice day, I hung out with my aunts and we went to lunch at the corner bakery at fashion place mall. It was pretty dang good and I think I'll go there again! We went shopping for a minute and then to a movie. we saw easy A and it was pretty good. Then I hurried home so I could my step sister and her kids. I haven't seen them since December of 2009, yeah long time. Luckily I caught them just in time and got to see Genesis and Mersadies but then they left. I wasn't excited for the week to start because I was dreading Friday. Monday came a long and as I looked in the paper I saw Jordan's obituary. I noticed that he was having his viewing on Thursday and his funeral on Friday. At first I was upset because after months of postponing a doctor visit I finally made one and it happened to be on Jordan's funeral day. Of course I didn't plan that out because I never would have expected this. Luckily for me my doctors appoitment was at 10 and his funeral was set to begin at 12:00. I would be able to go, thank God. I was dreading that though, because I don't want to say goodbye. But that Monday I got to babysit Bella which was nice because I love her and she makes me smile. Tuesday was a sad but good day, Jordan came home. It was beautiful to see everyone that lined up and down main street of Tooele just to welcome him home, I wish I could have been there to see it with my own eyes. Wednesday was okay, nothing really spectacular happened. Then Thursday came a long and I was terrified all day. I was dreading going to the viewing, because I was scared of having to say goodbye. I got the whole day off of work and I didn't have school, so that made things easier. I went to the doctor with my mom earlier in the day and we found my costume! I'm going to be a chef, the costume is super cute and it was WAY cheap and the material is nice, and since I couldn't be a cupcake, that was good enough. Of course I forgot my wallet though. Then I headed home and got ready and me and Rachel went. It was sad and it was tough to go but definitely worth it. I needed to pay my respect. That went well but I had found out the next day that there would be protesters ( I will NOT get into this subject because it would be a long post) at his funeral which upset me and made me dread tomorrow even more. but today came and I had to go to school (my least favorite class) then I had to hurry and take a quiz and go to my doctors appointment. I went to my first class, blah.. then I went to my second class to take my quiz which ended up being canceled! (of course the only time that I study) but It was good because I made my doctors appointment right on time! I was scared to death of what would happen since I have been taking poor care of myself. I waited nervously to find the results of my life and when The doctor walked in he seemed pleased. My a1c went DOWN! can you believe it?? I'm so happy about this! I was pleasantly surprised! But I had high blood pressure (but I was stressed when they took my blood pressure) and he said it was normal for people my age but especially diabetics. He wants to put me on medicine to help with blood pressure and it would also protect my kidneys too. I have to take a boat load of test first, like kidney test, thyroid, and a bucket full of hormone tests. stupid endocrine problems. So hopefully those turn out okay. That made this day a lot better so I was able to go to the funeral without being pre-distraught. I was worried about seeing protesters though (luckily they didn't show up) these people would have had their asses handed to them if they tried to protests at Jordan's funeral, they made an awesome choice of not showing up. Jordan's funeral was very nice and very peaceful and beautiful. I usually don't cry at funerals but I cried at this one, and a lot too. That kid was amazing, simple as that. He is a true honest to God hero and I'm so proud to say I knew him. I'm glad he was able to have a funeral that reflected that and he was honored the way a true hero should have been. Its so hard to have to say goodbye but I'll be forever grateful that I got to say hello. Well that was this week! tough, life changing but it was a okay week, just somber.
