The phone's ringing off the hook, the doorbell is always ringing, and when I'm not at home getting ready to go to the hospital I'm at the hospital dealing with numerous people coming in and out of my mom's room.
Retelling her situation over and over and over... and over.
I really should type up some kind of handout.
My mother needs her sleep but she's getting everything but that so consequently she's half out of it and repeating herself.
I've been drinking Tim Horton's coffee like it's going out of style and Snickers has been helping to keep me sane. We're suppose to be having some kind of pizza party tonight but my mom's friend dropped off the pizza uncooked and now cooking it is another added responsibility I have.
Tomorrow marks my 31st birthday and I'll be spending it at a family reunion BBQ probably answering yet another billion and one questions about my mom. I told my mom I didn't want to go but she told me to go. I know I'll probably have fun once I get there but if I had it my way I'd spend my birthday with just Snickers. I want a break for all this and tomorrow I know I definitely won't get that break. I still haven't prepared any food for the BBQ -- I'm sick of cooking at this point -- and I'm hoping Snickers will give in and just let me stay under the covers for the day.
I miss Korea... I wish I was sweating it out in Korea with Mi Nam snoring by my feet, Pyen Chi nipping at my toes, and the rain pouring down.
QUESTION OF THE DAY...
What next?
QUOTE OF THE DAY...
Enjoy today for yesterday was the past, tomorrow's the future and today is a gift, that's why it is called the present.

As the story has it, one day I headed to the opposite side of the globe – the Flipside. I arrived in Korea February 16th, 2005 and thought I’d do a year, then leave. I was wrong. I stayed, launched my first company, Flipside Fitness, and then opened Korea's largest boxing club, Hulk's Boxing (now called Hulk's Club).
After 11.5yrs in Korea, I then picked up one day and returned to Toronto, Canada. But then I left again.
Now I live in the Philippines where I am the CEO and head coach of Empowered Clubhouse, the Philippines' first and only boxing clubhouse exclusively just for women. I also am the founder of the Lil' Sistas Project, CEO and designer of Slay Gear and Baa Baa Black Sheep .Ph.

Amy, have you told people that you're not up to cooking right now? I mean, usually when someone is ill don't family and friends cook up a bunch of casseroles or whatever and drop them off to help out? :-( Hope you have a happy birthday!
