TEARS AND BLOOD
Just deleted a ton of icons, mostly inactive, which I should've done mooooonths ago when I decided to stop having a paid account. Oh god, I know I don't need 103 icons, that no one needs 103 icons, but it is seriously hard to work from that down to only fifteen icons. This decision was spurred by the fact that I have no Get Backers or Persona 3 icons and have spent this week rewatching Get Backers and playing Persona 3: FES in between visiting my grandmother at the hospital and cleaning/cooking/doing stuff my mom can't do while she's at the hospital.
I somehow need to make more icon room for AT LEAST ONE Akihiko icon because he is the bombdiggity yessir.
Anyway, what happened with my grandmother is that my uncle who lives with her (along with a coworker and my uncle's girlfriend who was going to be his fifth wife but then she found out about his four previous wives and she has four kids well five technically if you count the one she gave to her sister) came downstairs and discovered that she had fallen on the floor. She says that she "just lost her balance" and is clumsy, but then again, she also is apparently in the beginning stages of dementia. My mom suspected that she was, but then my grandma kept going on and on about how "your father found me," and I realized that she thought Uncle Joe was my dad. :/ However, she's still aware of who I am and has been asking for me. The doctors are still not sure if she had a stroke.
Right now she's going through physical rehab and got a cast on her wrist since she fractured it in the fall. She hasn't been the most thoughtful of grandmothers, not even calling my mom on her birthday actually, but I still love her and don't want to see her suffer. My mom's been busy going to the hospital so that meant extreme housework and cooking and laundry for me - but I've been at Ben's house for a couple days and my mom just informed me that my sister Kaity actually cleaned a bathroom and did some dishes. My response: "Oh my god, are you serious? Did hell freeze over? Wait, am I on speaker phone?"
Ben and I are going back to Erie today so we can go to my aunt's 42nd Hitchhiker's themed birthday party. I get to see her new dog. And of course, I'll be excited to see Buddy again. For people new to my journal, Buddy is MY PRIDE AND JOY~~~ my cat who just turned fourteen last week. He's basically the greatest cat that ever lived in the history of the world. He's so badass that it's almost enough to bring tears to my eyes.
My mom said it's going to be 95 degrees today. Thank god. The old people around here say this is the coldest summer they can ever remember. I've spent the last three nights covered in warm blankets, and I've still been a bit cold.
Last night, Ben and I went out and had a cup of coffee and then ate some pizza Lunchables in his car while a freaking tsunami of rain poured down around us. Also, we've been wrestling lately but stopped because I accidentally cracked Ben in the face with my knee and had to make him an ice pack. It's been a VERY ROMANTIC~ time at his parents' house. ♥ His mom is angry at him for sleeping the day away and hid his laptop away from him, so he took sleeping pills last night to regulate his sleep schedule. I didn't sleep last night at all, because I have a ton of things on my mind lately that are stressing me out. :D
His mom made blueberry pancakes, but neither of us are eating them. I didn't want to be rude, but I just got caught up in writing this entry. I think this may frustrate his parents for some reason, considering they've given us about five updates on them. "They're getting cold now!" and "Ben, get up and eat!" I miss my mom, because when she never hesitates to tell me exactly how/when I've done something to bother her. Also, the end of our first phone conversation this morning was her screaming in rage and pain because the dogs were walking on her hair. The second conversation was her apologizing for screaming.
Edit: Also, there's no coffee machine here. I didn't think I was that addicted to coffee, but I was up to two cups a day and now I'd gladly run naked across a cornfield just to get one.
Now that everyone here is arguing, I need that cup of coffee more than ever.
