do something everyday that scares you to death.
My uncle Hoot, who is not really my uncle, but might as well be, is in the hospital. [He is the father of my mother's best friend.] He was admitted yesterday, and they discovered that he has a brain tumor. They do not know if it is cancerous or not, but I am scared to death. This isn't fair to Jamie [his daughter.]. I am scared to death for her, because her mom died about eleven years ago, on the morning of his birthday, right around Thanksgiving.
It is a terribly depressing thing. It's not fair--why do people come and go out of our lives?
On another note, I went to Bloomington today with my mother and brother and might-as-well-be-sister-in-law. It was very fun and very relaxing for me; I allowed my mind to drift off and not worry about all the things that have plagued me recently. I actually did have fun, and I have been enjoying the past day and a half with my family. I know now that I always took my time with them for granted when I lived at home. I try my best to treasure it now. However, we didn't really stay in B-town as long as I would have liked, due to the fact that it started freezing rain and the roads were beginning to get horrid.
Oh, and I seriously contemplated buying a weiner dog, but I know that I cannot, or else I will probably end up evicted and living back with my parents. It was terribly cute though, and I planned to name it Ringo. However, I did buy the Hardy Boys Detective Handbook and a few old Hardy Boys books to add to my slowly growing collection. I love Hardy Boys books! I know, ridiculous, but I never was really into Nancy Drew all that much.
But now, I am back at my parent's lovely house sitting by the roaring fire. It is fabulous and wonderful and everything. It is just me and my mom right now, and I decently happy. I am actually in a pretty good mood.
Hopefully Christmas Eve shall be fun, as well as Christmas day and whatever day Jessica and I end up actually celebrating Christmas and all the days after that, including the New Year.
But for today, I am just going to relax until I have to abruptly go back to the real world and work for six hours tomorrow afternoon/evening.
