It's almost eerie

Two years ago, I wrote about my father being ill and how I was convinced I sensed it, even before I knew.  It's eerie, but sometimes, I really think I just know.  For instance, I didn't sleep well at all last night.  For absolutely no reason, my mind was racing and I felt jittery.  At times it even felt as though my heart was pounding.  I was somewhat grateful to be off work today, although when I look at the scouting camps and select baseball fees, I'm well aware that I NEED to work.  I decided that this would be a very good day to really dive into a project I've been working on for my father.  When my dad's days at the company are over, so are this work-from-home gig, and I just felt a sense that I needed to get to work...and of course the kids' activity bills are also a reminder!  Anyway, my mom called mid-morning to discuss our dinner plans for Saturday, and then mentioned nonchalantly that Dad was in the e/r.  He'd been experiencing a rapid heart rate since yesterday, and although the rest of his vital signs appear to be good, they are keeping him for observation given all of his other health issues.  Yes again, I just couldn't help but feel that somehow I just knew something was wrong with my dad.  Hopefully though, the next 24 hours will bring good news!
