Finally:  have an interview next Monday and next Friday...I am not getting my hopes up; am just relieved that SOMEONE finally called me back and responded to my 1001 inquiries for work...if I had one complaint about getting old, it is just that no one thinks you are up to doing any actual work, anymore!  If people only knew!Mom continues to be very ill w/her stomach trouble and lack of sleep...am hoping that next week's pelvic ultra-sound will be conducted with every pain remedy possible, so that she does not suffer back spasms during the procedure...I'm very concerned, as she's had this stomach problem for over two weeks, now...tomorrow, I am off to get her some s.f. children's pedialite; we've tried everything else...she looks so exhausted...I "think" G.M. finally had her sink replaced & the leaking problems may be over with...she keeps nagging my mom to make my dad "take communion" when he attends church w/G.M....why is it always the wife's "problem" to do these things?  My mom's not even Catholic, or Lutheran!  Besides, my dad will be 70 in two years...surely, he's old enough to make up his own mind (y'think?)...Temp's over 101 (today) & no relief in sight...even our poor zinnias are taking hit points.  I have no personality at all, today...I just feel so blank...
