They said today was the hottest day of the summer so far... and I believe it :-/
Tennis was really hard, not to mention sweaty, lol... but I guess that's what it's supposed to be. Problem was that it felt so unhealthy just to be outside today that I felt really horrible when it finally ended, and I haven't felt the same since... I think I'm pretty dehydrated even now tonight... my insides are, how should I put this... they feel like they've been put through a blender! lol ... oh, no, it isn't pretty :-/ ... anyway, I've been drinking water all day and my head still hurts... which to me, means that tomorrow will be even harder, since it's supposed to be just as hot I think...
anywayyy... Carrie's father is in the hospital... since last Sunday. he might have verticulitis (??) I don't know what that is, or how to spell it, but whatever it is, it's causing lots of pain... it's either that or just some kind of intestinal infection. She asked me if I would go to the hospital with her and keep her company, so we went after I got cleaned up after practice... hospitals aren't my favorite places, and I get the impression that alot of people would agree with me. I think it's the smell. plus I don't have good memories of them. being a patient and seeing my father in there near death after a car accident. but it's not so bad that I have a phobia of them, I just would say that I don't enjoy them. Carrie's father was better today... I was worried about how he would be, because she had told me that he was in alot of pain the night before, so when I walked in and he was upright and smiling, it was a HUGE relief... so it wasn't toooooo uncomfortable to be in the room with him and Carrie's mom. I've only met him once before, so it was wierd to feel like I was invading that "space", but they all seemed not to mind... and I think Carrie appreciated that I went :-D ... after about 20 minutes of small talk (mostly about me, haha) Carrie and I left and got something to eat, and she started feeling guilty about not staying with him, so we ate and went back, and luckily he was sleepy, so we didn't stay, she didn't have to feel guilty, and I got to be home and collapse and drink like a fish, hehe... so here I am...
That was a very 'girlfriend-ish" thing to do, don't you think? :-D ...
