I feel so gross. Been getting hot and cold flashes all day and sweating like it's going out of style, even with the air conditioning on. I've been feeling semi-crappy for the past couple days. Tess got really sick over the weekend -- coughing, sniffling, feverish, the whole bit -- and I've just been waiting to get the same thing as her but so far I've just been having the precursors of being sick without actually being sick. Hence, crappy. Really, I'd rather just be sick than this stupid in-between grossness so I could start feeling better already.
We were actually in Virginia over the weekend for my mom's uncle's interrment at Arlington cemetery and were supposed to head to Delaware beach afterwards to hang out with my visiting California aunt and cousins, but Tess' snotfest sent us home early. This was such a crazy weekend too, what with Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson, and Billy Mays dying. I swear, every time my family and I go away some tragedy happens. We were in Canada when Katrina hit, Venice when my Pop-pop died, Germany when the Soviet Union fell, etc etc. Probably a good thing we're mostly sticking around here for the rest of the summer.
Oh my god, did anyone watch America's Got Talent last night? Ew ew ew, the guy with the hook and anchor and the drill in his NOSE? And the guy who hung, what was it, hammers on hooks from his EYEBALLS? God, god, god EWWWWW! Tess and I literally screamed bloody murder and hid behind our pillows during their whole performances. Like, I'm surprised our neighbors didn't call the cops, we were freaking out so much. God, what is WRONG with people? *shudders* The rest of the show was pretty awesome though. The last act, oh man. It was these three kids, brothers and sister, called "The Voices of Glory" and their story was three years ago their mom got in a head-on collision with a drunk driver and they would visit her at the hospital and sing to her and the other patients there and that's how their group got started. Which, if that's not enough to melt your heart a little, they sang "God Bless America" and had stunning voices and the camera kept cutting to their mom out in the wings cheering them on and when they were done they brought her out and everyone was applauding and crying and it was so powerful and Tess and I were BAWLING. God, what a crazy show.
Think I'm gonna go back to reading Big Bangs now. They're all SO GOOD.
