The day that Sue Ellen was stolen.....amazing
unbelieveable! I woke up this morning, and I went outside to go to work, and I thought that my car was outside, but it wasn't, so I thought to myself...."oh..maybe she's in the garage" so I opened up the garage, and..it was empty. I stomped back into the house and said "Richard ....(he was in the shower)...you didn't move my car did you?
my car is GONE!!!!!"
Sue Ellen has been stolen away from me. All of the other cars in the neighborhood had been broken in to, the stereo's taken...Richard's included, but all of the cars are still there, of course, except for mine. Richard insists that we are going to recover the car, and that the people who took her are just looking to transport the stolen merchandise, and then they'll dump the car somewhere. I hope he's right. If there is any comedic moments in this whole situation it is that one. Me stomping back into the house, and announcing that my car is gone. That and then the conversation that Richard and I had, consisting of us playing this whole episode back during the trip to Overland Park, KS.
fuck!
I get this daily email from Thought A Day and it couldn't be more appropriate for today!
Changing your life only requires one thing, you to change your mind. It's just that simple.
Also an email I sent to my sister and my mother late last night:
CR
I got your message about Uncle John. It's really odd, because Richard is in the EXACT same situation with his mother, the hospice nurses say that she won't last another week, and they say that her kidneys are failing as well. If there is one positive thing that can be taken out of this, it's that Richard told me that the hospice nurses told him that kidney failure is one of the most peaceful ways to die, you go to sleep, go into a coma, and make your transition. I just hope it's a peaceful one...for them both.
Cara, here is my work email and my work number, call if there's anything new I need to know.

Dead chipmunk at Tahoe had bubonic plague
SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif.
(AP)
-- A dead chipmunk at Lake Tahoe has tested positive for bubonic plague. Authorities say it's important to alert area residents and visitors, but no reason for alarm.
Signs have been posted at area beaches, trailheads and campgrounds warning people to avoid the rodents. The chipmunk was found last week near the Lake Tahoe Forest Service Visitors Center. "This is a warning that there is some active plague in the area," said Virginia Huber, a manager at the El Dorado County Environmental Management in California. "It's not rare at all," she told the Reno Gazette-Journal. Plague is endemic in rodent populations in the West and has infected chipmunksand squirrels in all of the counties across Nevada. It's a potentially fatal disease that can be transferred to humans. Huber said the fleas jump from one warm body to the next. The last death recorded in the area was in 1980 when a South Lake Tahoe woman contracted the disease from her cat, which had brought home a dead chipmunk. Her death was the first case of plague pneumonia reported in the country since 1924, a California Department of Health Services report said. Jim Hogan, supervisor for the Nevada Environmental Health Division, said that with today's modern medicine, the disease is not a death sentence. "It can be fatal, yes, but its very curable if treated early," Hogan said. Hogan said the disease can take two pathways through the body. The most common way is infecting the lymph nodes, called bubonic plague. If left untreated, the bacteria can travel through the blood stream to the lungs, progressing to the deadly pneumonic plague. Early symptoms include high fever, chills, nausea, weakness and swollen glands. Health officials warn:Do not feed or handle rodents. -- Make sure your cat or dog has a flea collar. -- Do not rest, camp or sleep near a rodent burrow. -- Do not touch sick or dead animals.
