(no subject)
so uh, another entry of pointless rambling? maybe. or maybe not. i haven't decided yet.
its so weird. so the past two mornings i couldn't sleep past 9am. and i went to bed around 2 both friday and saturday nights. saturday morning i was actually awake by 8 even though i didn't get up until 9. it sucks. a lot. by 1pm today i already felt like i had been up forever. i had taken care of a lot of shit too which was part of the reason i felt like i'd been up for so long, but yeah. i was so ready for it to be dinner time so i could just relax and go to sleep. but no. instead i made brownies. no, not special brownies, with "extra sugar" like everyone keeps asking me. even my mom asked me that. they were only special because i made them ;). i made them for the superbowl gathering at kieche's 'casue when we were talking about putting something together on friday i said if she'd host i'd make the brownies. i won't go into the game. other than to say i thought the second half was much better than the first. and some of the commercials were good, although most weren't all that memorable. like the one i remember laughing the most at i can't remember what it actually was. but seeing mc hammer get thrown over a fence was pretty funny. i tutored tonight too. so a little extra moola, which isn't a bad thing. i like this student that i'm working with. she's kinda funny. actually the whole family is kinda funny, in a geeky sort of way. she plays soccer and is interested in pomona, so we have some other things to talk about too. but it did mean that i didn't get home to eat dinner or anything until 9pm. and have i ever mentioned how much i love cost plus? 'cause i really do.
i found out tonight that my other grandmother (the one who still lives in the bay area) went to the emergency room wednesday night/thursday morning. she had been having chest pains since sometime around dinner, but didn't call the nurse at the facility she lives in until somewhere around 2am. it turned out that her blood pressure was really high (i still have never learned this scale, but it was 200 something over 100 something, for those who do know what that means), and after a whole bunch of diagnostic tests, they determined the chest pains were just from the fact that her heart was working really hard due to the high blood pressure, and that there was no evidence of a heart attack. this makes sense, since my grandmother doesn't take her blood pressure medication regularly like she is supposed to (a common theme in my family), and it was probably the wrong medication anyway, one that they have found doesn't really work that well since the time it was perscribed to her. so now she is on new meds, and is apparently doing better. i should probably call her tomorrow. actually, i need to call my other grandmother too, since she also had some heart related tests done. but my guess is that if those results have come back they didn't say much, since my mom didn't tell me anything. it's weird. i don't know how i'm going to take it when my grandmothers die. or abe even. i've had to think about it more recently. i know i didn't take my grandfathers dying all that well, but that was a long time ago so i don't remember it that clearly. yes maybe too 'cause i was younger and didn't understand everything as much, but then i've now had more time with my grandmothers, so i don't know what that will do.
anyway. not things i want to continue thinking about now, especially since in my dream the other night there was some guy trying to kill my whole family (but it was the first dream in a while where all five of us were together, whatever that means...). i think it is time to finish cleaning up for dinner and get ready for bed, even though i still haven't prepared for my discussion that is at 10am tomorrow. oops.
