Dear Diary,

Dear STACY,

A sudden and unexpected event might cause you to be temporarily separated from the man in your life, STACY. Confusion surrounding the incident itself and your mate's actual role in it might plague you throughout the day, and you might find yourself doubting his motives. In a word: Don't! Money might be on your mind, and the need for it might have you brainstorming ways to increase your income. However, don't make any decisions about it at this time.

This weeks been an emotional up and down from the second that it started and I'm about ready to see it end. On sunday I finally got to talk to my Uncle John and Aunt Linda who live way out in Dartmouth Nova Scotia to find out how they have been making out with all the hurricanes and heavy rain fall going on. It was so sweet too because the first thing Aunt Linda said to me was "Hi hunny. How are you? We miss you out here and we keep waiting for you to come back on out to see us and spend some time out here!" it was so sweet. I miss it out there. Its so amazing. Everything about it out there is amazing and I'm sure that anyone who has traveled out there knows exactly what I meen. So I talked to Aunt Linda for a little while and then Uncle John got on the phone and we talked to him. Apparently he is being flown down to Boston for a day on October 18th for this one test for sleep. Its to see if you can withstand sleep and for how long. Three weeks prior to all the testing, he can't have ANY caffine, chocolate, pop, and NO medication. Not even advil or tylonal or vitamines. Nothing! So if all goes well on October 18th, then they fly him back home and wait to get the test results and then they will fly him back down and the next time he will be there for three weeks. For one of the tests he has to be able to stay awake for 50 hours and every 15 minutes they make him eat something. I couldn't do it. Apparently though there is someone in the room with you at all times to try and keep you awake and play games and talk to you and stuff so that won't be too bad. Still though, 50 hours is a LONG time. We asked why he was doing this and he said, oh, just for the money. In the end if he makes all the tests and comes out alright then they will give him something like $2600 american. Which is a nice chunck of change if you ask me for just trying to stay awake. Uncle John and Aunt Linda said that cousin Brant is doing well. Hes 2 years old now and walking and talking. I bet hes really cute. It would be nice to meet him soon though. I've only seen one or 2 pictures of him and thats all. I miss Sheylene too.

Dad also talked to mom on Sunday night about me coming to Gregs and staying the night for this birthday and I guess at first she flat out said NO but then the more dad talked to her and explained everything to her, the more she began to think about it and "give in" if you like and said that she would like some more time to think about it and then she would likely change her decision. So as of today now, I'm still not sure whats all going on. Dads got to write her a note. Only 2 more days until Greg's Birthday! We'll see what happends. Mom talked to Granny yesterday because she had her doctors appointment for a check-up and then she got her results back from the hospital so when mom got off the phone with granny I asked her how she was and mom said something really quick so I couldn't make anything out and then she burst out crying and turned away from me so she didn't have to see me and so I didn't have to watch her crying. It took her a few minutes but finally she was able to say that Granny has a viral infection and her heart is in very bad conditions and not looking too good. I'm not sure what the doctor or hospital plans on doing from here on in but it better be something to make her all better. I'm worried about her. I called Carolann last night as well to let them know. I've been keeping them informed on exactly whats been going on so they at least know. I know that if it were me and no one was telling me what was going on my my granny I'd be upset so I might as well let them know since I don't think mom has been. Other then that, all week long I have been cleaning. Outside and inside and I'm tired. Today I have to do the vaccuming. I guess I should get started on that now then. Have a great rest of the week everyone.

*love always stacy*
