Back from the Myrtle Beach Vacation.
To do the traditional Vacation inventory it would seem to be a success:
Nobody got sunburnt. It never rained. I didn't break my swimsuit. I never once got woken up by my parents. I am a bronze goddess (ok, not quite true, but I have tan lines! woo...at least there's proof that I did in fact go to the beach I guess...ooh sexy tan lines...*eye roll*) I got through a quarter (ish) of Once and Future King.
But.
I haven't slept (except for dozing in the car on and off for three hours on the way home) since 11 A. M. Yesterday morning. At all. I was up. All Freaking Night.
and that's not hte worst part.
It's the second night I haven't gotten to sleep.
Still not the worst. It's hard for me to say.
Dad had a stroke. Nothing major. Well, I mean. He's fine now, his balance is a little off, and for a stroke it was fairly minor. It hit his balance center. It's not like his left side is paralyzed or somethign like that. He can't drive for awhile and he can't really lift stuff or any of that mess. But he was in the hospital the whole time, from Tuesday Morning around 9 until yesterday at noon. Thank goodness he's fine now. But he coudln't get out of bed at all tuesday and barely on wednesday. Thursday he was mostly better, although his balance is still off. It was really scary. I woke up on tuesday to these people banging on the hotel room door and mom talking on the phone saying something about dad having a heart attack or something and there were all these people and i was stuck in the room because I didn't want to get in the way or anything. Mom went wiht them to the hospital and me and becky watched gilmore girls season one at the hotel room, waiting for a phone call or something. We went to the pool and kind of did some ignoring of the problem. Gilmore Girls and Thursday Next books are good for escapisim. They didn't figure out what was wrong until late wednesday. At least he's better now, but he didn't even get to go to the beach at all on his only vacation this year. and becky has done nothing but be a pain in the ass since he got back so he thinks we were like that the whole time. and that's not good.
anyways. that was my vacation.
