Send Happy Thoughts, Please

I was online late last night because I wanted to email Valerie some info before I forgot. Well, my brother, Chuck, popped online and I IMd him. He's been in Hawaii for the past few months on a work contract for some company. He wondered what I was doing up at midnight my time but you know me, the night owl. lol Anyway, he was online because he's thinking of getting a second Masters degree. His first is in Elementary Education (his BA is in electrical engineering, I think) but now he;s thinking Psychology!! Wow, I never would have thought of Chuck going for a psychology degree. Actually, I think that he would make a good one but, well, I guess things have changed a lot from past conversations.

Sidetrack: I just realized that I am surrounded now by people pursuing degrees in that field. I find that ironic since I've been studying it since high school and have always thought I would eventually get one myself. lol Very interesting.

Anyway, the need for happy thoughts comes in here. . .Chuck said to me, "I am going to the hospital on Thursday so on Friday they can do a cardiac catherization to see why I have chest pains and also a bad stress test." He's only 44! Of course, he does tend to put a lot of stress on himself so, I guess that would explain it. Actually, he's been the healthiest of us. So, I guess that's why it's a shock. He has to stay through Saturday because he doesn't have anyone to look after him. His wife is in Nevada at their home and, knowing Chuck, he probably told her not to spend the money to go to Hawaii. I assume this because he said, "I am fine, just need to know what is gong on so I can get it fixed." And, "I will be fine after all I am in a hospital." Sheesh, that latter gave me a chill. Famous last words. lol But yeah, he should be fine. Promised to email me on Sunday so I'll let you all know.

I told him he wasn't allowed to get sick until AFTER the wedding! Seriously though, I worry. Hey, that's what sisters are for, right? I just passed on the word up home. They really need to clean up the answering machine. That beep lasted forever! More soon. Hugs.
