family emergency, anxiety, health, bad synchronicity (--) 

Was just thinking "Huh, I haven't called home in a while, I should give them a ring" when my phone rang. Mom never calls unless it's an emergency.

Stepdad is in the hospital with a "minor" heart thing. He's awake and feels OK now and "his color is good," apparently, but they don't have an explanation for the chest pain yet. Probably a small attack.

I am used to any hopes I have in these situations being promptly dashed.

Note that this is while I'm still recovering from the loss of my kitten friend—which was relatively minor, but I was trying to convince my intrusive thoughts *wasn't* some lesson from the gods to prepare me for an impending loss.

Plus Peg seems to have aspirated a piece of bread a few days ago and is dragging her heels about seeing a doctor about the resulting cough, which is not drastically improving.

I am not in good shape right now.

@zebratron2084 I’m sorry things are this rough. Best of luck coping with it!
