i know that i've disappeared...but here i am again
What I Did Over Winter Vacation
by: Tracie Odum
-learned to function (again) mostly without a cell phone (note: this is partly the reason no one has heard from me. my phone is broken. i'm terribly sorry)
-took my dad to the emergency room...twice. the first time he had to stay for a couple days, the second time he was having minor (and unexpected) complications with his new medicines and he was concerned.
-celebrated christmas and new years with my family.
-joined a gang
-moved!
so, now the dust is settling and i'm looking forward to returning to some sense of normality. i miss my friends and i wish i could have seen more of them.
emotionally, i've done better than i expected with all of this. i still dont like hospitals. i'm still scared of what will happen to my family. i still worry about what i'm going to do and how i'm going to handle all of it. but... i'm still better than i thought i would be.
the rest of my break is devoted to a.) practicing (dammit!!!!!) and b.) letting people that matter to me know that i am alive and i'm sorry i havent been in touch.
