i had the worst week this week that was topped off by my mother calling me to tell me the military was sending my brother to korea. my brother was suppose to be finished with going out of the country finishing up by going to iceland years ago. this had me alarmed. all of it came out of the blue and as a shock. partially because he is at that point in his carreer where whe was not going to be out of the country so his choices were to go for a year alone or to go for 2 years with the family. he said he never wanted to leave is family again and korea is probably the number one place he does not want to move his family to. everyone keeps temlling me korea is not that bad but i am thinking if my brother does not want to move his family there it cannot be that great. i was fine most of the day and then i decided i would go to the basketball game with neil where i started thinking processing the info and i just lost my shit and had to go sit in the car outside. when it comes to my brother leaving i get super wadded up about it. diana came and got me cause still had to get annalisa's wedding gift and i suggested the tavern to grab a snack cause i had not eatten and was getting a case of the low blood sugar. ate mashed potatos and burgandy mushrooms and to jack my sugar a coke. so after a snack we go to william sanoma and all i want to do is puke in a mixing bowl. between all the shit i felt ill and exhausted. i felt like i had a horrible hangover.
well my mom calls me yesterday to tell me ken (my bro) is going to retire with 20 years and is interviewing for two different groups this week getting a job doing the same thing he does for the military. i have never been so relieved.
