Just to catch you up on the dramas....
I have mono. Just found out Monday, although I have been pretty sleepy since then. I have had small micro bursts of energy, but for the most part, I am tanked. How I managed to get mono is beyond me. It sucks on so many different levels though. I went to the doc on the 9th. Found out I have strep. He wanted to do blood work to check some other "things". They called the following Monday with strict instructions on who I could and could not be around, what I could and could not do (the do list is very short) and on how to get over this (which is about as clear as Greek) I didn't know much about mono, and the stuff I have found isn't very helpful. I know my throat STILL feels like I have gargled with shattered glass soaked in battery acid, and I am pooped. My boss let me go because I am sick and according to her, will remain so for a long time (because she is a doctor....NOT)
School has been ok this week. Tiring. My persuasive essay is on outsourcing American jobs overseas. Lots of research has proven that the main jist of this is either political or economical. Both NOT my strong points.
Speaking of politics, Bill Maher was on Larry King Live tonight (rerun). He was talking about how the GOP is wanting Hillary to be the Dem candidate because they can beat her. Obama is almost as scary, since he is black and has little to no experience. I sincerely hope the Dems research who we nominate this time, I don't want another Kerry debaucle. I do love Bill Maher, much to my daddy's dismay. He sent me his Ann Coulter book about how to talk to a liberal or some crap. I sent it back with a DVD of Bill Maher. He sent it back in pieces. I like playing with my daddy like that. His fqace gets red and he says things that would make a sailor blush.
Went to my mom's b-day party last night. Yes, I said I went to my mom's. Yes, I am SURE hell hath frozen solid. My sister was there too. Yes, the one who just recently told me she slept with my husband and all that good stuff. I used my waning moon wisely, and I am a better person for it. We are all civil, almost friendly, and it was nice to feel like I was part of a family again. My sister hasn't changed, other than being pregnant. She still smokes (everything) and she is still not the best mom, but I missed her and I missed my nephew something FIERCE. My mom is 50, dealing with her husband being terminal with his 7th bout of prostate cancer. It has metasticized, he went to MD Anderson, and this treatment will be his last hope. We find out if it is working sometime this week, or early the next. I hate that most of all. He was my grandmas' guy-friend for so long. He taught me how to drive, and was the one who encouraged me to go for the Tulsa Firefighting gig that I fucked off by getting pregnant. Silly me. He is a great guy, and it is apprent that he loves my mother, and she has already had 4 husbands screw her around pretty bad, it is nice to see her treated properly. I still hate the God complex she has, but we are comfortable enough now that I can tell ehr when to back off and she listens. Still in the broom closet, but she is smart enough to know that "Unitarian" isn't what I really am. Shhhh though.
Dan has worked his ass off lately, and I feel like I am all alone. He passes out on the couch, wakes up, goes to work, comes home, eats, and passes back out. Today he fished from sun up to sun down, came home, ate, passed out on the couch. I miss him and I hope we get some quality couples time soon. I miss laying around in bed all day doing hetero stuff (not that you guys do anything so different....)
Anyway, life is what it is right now. I miss a lot of people right now as far as friends go, but I can't get too close to most of them since it seems that EVERYONE is knocked up. Soon though. I want to hang out with Katie at Gypsy's with Pops, I want to go do karaoke with Lee, I want to go shopping with Matthew and have dinner at his place, and have deep theological chats while enjoying the Nag Champa.... Life just seems so routine and over done at the moment. I am complete for the first time in a long time, but I miss those that liven things up. Promise me we will do something soon guys, please?
Anyway, going to bed, since I can do nothing BUT sleep. Night y'alls.
