i told antonio i was leaving today. i said they could have me until june 28th, so my last day will be somewhere between the 17th and the 28th. goodness, it is strange and exciting.
i am TERRIFIED to be without my healthcare. i am getting my eye exam tomorrow, visiting a dermatologist next week, as well as seeing my endo to make sure my levels are ok and the iron pills are working. the week after i get my last crown, and hopefully somewhere before next thursday i'll get a sonogram done on my neck to make sure there isn't any goiter or swelling or tumors hanging out there.
god, it seems like half my life is spent wondering if there is some cancer hanging out in my body. do docs make me paranoid, or am i exaggerating previous problems?
anywho, i'm excited, and i thought i'd share it with you all.
i went to jenna's graduation this weekend. schmitty and i rented a car (he is a wonderful boy and indulged me by renting a car and driving to elmira and hanging out with my family for 3 days). we had a great time getting the little grads trashed on saturday night after the starlight ceremony, and No One had hangovers on sunday morning! i'm just that good.
we even had a little time to stop in and see the meta's on the way home. scmitty was reluctant, citing time and energy and food and money as reasons, but i didn't have to be back till monday, and i hadn't seen them for almost a year (neither had he!) so i pushed the issue. afterwards he seemed really happy and thanked me for making a deal of it.
aubri - uniting metaphorical families for greater world happiness.
of course, i also spent half the time being really worried i was making a terrible impression and they were going to hate me. meh, at least i know that despite their disapproval, their kids still make the final call in who they stay with.
now, to meet his real family.
can i say i am stupidly, insanely, intensely proud of my sister. i got to commencement and realized i hadn't gotten her a card or flowers or cake or anything (because we had been drinking the night before, in which i HAD gotten her champagne and quite a few drinks), and i was just mortified. so we ran over to the supermarket and i got a couple bouquets and bought little cupcakes that i knew she'd like. not exactly a big old carvel cake and a 5lb bouquet of lilies and roses, but i think she liked it :)
i want to say it here and not be ashamed of it - i did such a good job on her. i even told mom. daddy did wonderful on both of us, and i am just so relieved that all that half-assed, learning it as i went, often despised parenting i did on her turned out so wonderfully.
we will ignore all the times i tied her up and put her in closets (because, lets face it, we ARE siblings no matter how maternal i am towards her).
the bugs still bite. i still waste tons of money on laundry and cemicals *sigh*
finally - i will be in europe in 2 months! oh, the JOYS!
