So, as an update to the last post, things have gotten significantly better. My grandfather's moved back home (?!) and is suddenly mentally clear and whatever it was has gone away. He's on oxygen as a result of the pneumonia, but otherwise.. he got better. When my mother called me, I was jumping around the kitchen at work for joy. The greatest ( Read more... )

Alright. So. My grandfather has lived with us since I was born. He's currently 92, and up until earlier this year, was in absolutely perfect condition. He had macular degeneration, but that was literally the only thing wrong with him. Then suddenly, he fell when exercising and broke his hip, had to go to the hospital, ended up in a home. He was ( Read more... )

My mother just called me with bad news x2. First, my grandfather had a cold last week when I saw him. He only wanted to sleep when I came to visit him, so we figured something was up and kept an eye on him. Well, it's pneumonia. Considering he's 92, this is a gigantic scary thing and he's in the hospital on heavy-duty antibiotics. Secondly, my aunt ( Read more... )

I've been having strange dreams lately. Two nights ago, I was vividly dreaming that I was wandering around my grandparents' old house. There was a lot leading up to this that I don't remember, but I walked into one of the rooms (specifically the room I used to sleep in when I visited) and it had three hospital beds set up with a bunch of medical ( Read more... )

deadmau5 is the greatest thing I've discovered in a long while. My last few downloads have been gigantic (5gb+) collections of trance/electronic music; I think I'm genre-switching for a while. This is what happens when all my new friends turn out to be ravers ( Read more... )

1. This week.. has been interesting. I had a blind date with a fucking 6'5" sorceror who apparently doesn't have any spells for hygiene. He spent all day talking about killing people and telling me stories about his friends, who are equally fucked up. On top of this, he said if he ever caught me cheating on him, he'd murder me! Yes, awesome way to ( Read more... )

1. My house has become a completely different place. Yesterday, my 92 year old grandfather fell over in the kitchen when doing some exercises. He broke his hip (and didn't notice, yay shock) and twisted his foot, so we called an ambulance and the parents went off and I got to puppysit. It looks like he's going to be in the hospital for a good deal ( Read more... )

I'm having an awesome day and my mother's on a rampage to ruin it, I swear. No matter what I suggest, or how I try to help, she manages to smack me down, guilt-trip me over nothing at all, and then proceed to get really pissed off. Goddamn psychological problems, I swear.. I would love for her to be medicated (as she should be, but her body reacted ( Read more... )
