Crazy Day
Woke up this morning to chatter in the kitchen about the earthquake in Japan. The chatter was just that it had happened and that one of our friends studying in Tokyo was okay but without hot water. Pulled up my twitter and man was it slammed with tons of Kanji. I have another acquaintance in Japan who had posted a ton because she was stuck on a train when it hit and on her phone the only thing she could access was twitter & then I follow a handfull of Japanese musicians... One of those days I wish I had better actual Japanese reading skills, but I fail.
Right now still a little worried about one friend. I'm fairly confident that she's probably okay from the accounts of my other friends in Tokyo and that maybe she's just stuck at work or home with no power or something like that. One person found her on this 2011 earthquake japan person finder but status was left as unspecified so I'm still not really at ease.
Work was very busy today...I don't feel like I got to accomplish as much as I wanted to. Definitely have accomplishing NOTHING since I got home which is bad for as much stuff as I truly do have on my plate (doll face commission, doll clothes, cosplays, scarf knitting commission). I think I'm truly turning into my mother with the gathering of stuff on my plate. I just think I like to do too much...but I still have fun doing it!
Tomorrow afternoon to evening we're going to Paris for my Grandmother's... I think 93rd or 94th birthday party. She's on up there I don't remember how old she is anymore considering I only see the lady a few times a year (though a lot more recently as she's been coming and staying a week with my parents every few months). Traveling there with my dad since gas is so freakin high and for his comfort he's going to be driving the bigger vehicle (suburban or van) anyway. If we weren't playing the riding game we'd try and visit some doll people while we're there. But we would have ended up riding with him anyway because my mother is going to miss it. Earlier this week a third cousin of mine (I think that's right) who I didn't know at all to be honest, committed suicide. The mother is one of my Mom's first cousins that she's pretty close to so she's really feeling that she needs to be there for her in her time of need and I think she's also playing overnight host to another cousin coming in from out of town for the funeral. In a weird way it's a good thing because mom was going to go and not be able to eat anything but a potato. I don't know why but we're doing the bday party at the Fish Fry (it's $10 all you can eat catfish), and mom cannot eat fried food and all the not catfish food is super sub par for any restaurant. We're all just sort of annoyed though because we're only going there because my Aunts arranged it and haven't told Grandma anything and if me and dad remember right Grandma really doesn't care for the place because she doesn't do super well with fried foods... so just ugh. This is also preventing me another day from going to pick up my dolls from a friend in Mesquite...tried for tonight but never got a response back so I guess we'll have to shoot for Sunday on that.
I think that's really about all for now for today. Right now we're sitting here and Logan is skimming through netflix looking for something to watch. I might kick him off though to make him let me play more Eternal Sonata....well I was but instead we are watching the Blood the Last Vampire live action movie.
