(no subject)
Certain people have pointed out to me that I need to update this more often. And they're right. So, here goes.
Sad news. Last Saturday, my dad slipped on some ice and injured himself badly. He was taken to the hospital in my mom's sweet new Suburban, where they discovered that he had broken his hip. Aparently, the ball joint just completely broke off. Ouch. He was actually crying a little when my mom and sister helped him out to the car, and I've never seen him cry before. It's a scary moment I won't forget. Now, he's back at home, recovering (although it will take a few months for him to be able to walk, and a year or more to fully recover). Which means, I will now have to take care of him and give him anything he needs during the day, seeing as I'm the only one home. And I won't be able to go online as much (although I'll still try to get on whenever I can). But the good thing is, I think I'm off the hook about finding a job right away. And, I do get paid well for waiting on him hand and foot.
On a lighter note, about a week ago, I got a call from my best friend from high school. First, she asked how I was doing and all, being as polite as she is. Then she told me that she and several other friends were all gonna have a little surprise "get together" at her apartment for one of my other good friends, who she said was starting to miss everyone. So, I made plans to go to this little party. When I get there, I'm a little confused, cause I've never been to an apartment complex before. But, I figured it out, and my friend let me in. Unforunately, when I got there, she told me she was sick. Bummer. And on the day all her friends were supposed to be coming to see her. But, luckily for her, and me, she was starting to feel a little better when I got there, so, we just caught up with one another, asked how life was, etc. Later on, my best friend showed up, and so we got to talking, as well. She even let me choose a book from a collection of hers that she was getting rid of (this girl loooves to read!), which she put a sweet little message in for me. After a bit, I had to leave, but it was nice just being able to see them again.
But, as far as things are going for me, I'm not really sure yet. I'm slowly starting to learn my motives for past actions and mistakes, but yet, I can't sort out my feelings sometimes. I'm getting older, becoming more of an adult, and starting to learn more about myself. There are certain things I need to work on (one of them being figuring out what I want to do with my life), certain habits and those kinds of things that I need to break free from. There are questions I want to know the answers to, but I just can't answer them. I guess I'll just have to wait. In the meantime, I'll just let what happens, happen, and try to make the best out of it.
But, I have to say...it's good to be back.
