Exercise for Fries: its been a rough day

so remember how excited i was about the plane ticket? well, a few hours later i received this email:

"Dear Brooke,

Due to technical difficulties in processing your ticket(s), your booking could not be confirmed at the original quoted price."

um, what?! now they want me to re-book and charge me DOUBLE. no thank you. plus, i really can't afford to buy the double priced ticket. i was pissed, and apparently there isn't anything i can do about it. grrrreat.

i called my mom to ask her to call them for me so she could get sassy with them (she is good at that sort of thing), but got even worse news. my little sister, christa, is really sick and my mom was on my way to see her. i told my mom to keep me posted on her condition (new readers, my sister is severely handicapped and lives in a nursing home because of her severe medical conditions). a little while later my mom called to let me know that christa was in the ambulance en route to the hospital and she would let me know how she was doing in a little while. this didn't get the same reaction as my brothers call because this isn't the first time christa has been in the hospital. however, it is still serious. her o2 levels are in the 80's even with full oxygen, her heart rate is around 180 and her fever is around 104*. so they had to send her to the hospital to try and get her stats under control. once at the hospital my mom said she was diagnosed with double pneumonia and pleurisy (<--didn't know what that is, but after google-ing it, it's inflammation of the lungs and chest). hopefully she will be ok and can return back home after a few days in the hospital. i don't mean this for anyone to feel sorry for me, but there is only so much a person can take, especially in a short amount of time. so, if you have a prayer to spare, send one our way. i'll leave you with a few pictures of us, it doesn't seem appropriate to talk about food or exercise tonight.
