Sick as a fruckin dog

Hm... time to update I think.

My nana called me Monday morning. She is fine... sorta. Her house and most everything in it is destroyed. She went back Monday to see what she could salvage before it rained again. She and one of her neighbors were lucky enough to have found someone to take them in until FEMA can relocate them. The craziest thing of it all is, Nana thinks she's gonna stay there a little while longer before moving back home. I don't understand that. I don't know what was holding her back from moving before... I thought maybe it was the arrangements for all the stuff they had at their house... how to move it all. And after Charley, well... she'd have a much lighter suitcase to pack. Just walk away from it all and come home, you know? But she wants to stay a little while longer. Why? I don't know.

Mom's been real emotional about it. And I don't know what my problem is when it comes to family and emotion. Everyone who talked to me this past weekend knows how much of a wreck I was worrying about my nana. But once I actually talk to someone from my family, it's like, my emotions stop. I come off uncaring, cold, and indifferent. It's really pissing mom off. I don't know what my deal is.

I am ridiculously sick. LUCKILY it's not the everlasting hacking cough that I usually get. And even my runny nose is controllable. It's this damn sore throat. I haven't had a sore throat this bad since I got my tonsils taken out in 2nd grade. And now today, my ears are getting in on the action. They really hurt. When I open my jaw to unpop them, I can hear little bubbles. It's crazy. Then again, I just got out of the shower, so maybe it's just water in my ears.

I've been really tired because of this. I think I've been spending 2/3 of the day sleeping. I slept from 8am til 3pm then fell back asleep from 5pm-9pm and then fell asleep again from 2am-5am. I had my alarm set for 6, but I woke up and couldn't fall back asleep. NOW I feel like I could go back to bed.

All my muscles hurt too... I have SHIN SPLINTS. I don't know what from... it's not like I've been doing anything. I've been sleeping or watching tv. Unless I'm running in my sleep and putting up a hell of a race, I can't think of why the muscles in the front of my leg would hurt so bad. And it's just one leg, actually, which makes it even weirder.

In other news... SLIPKNOT AND HATEBREED ARE PLAYING AT THE PLEX ON MY BIRTHDAY JEANNETTE!! September 1!

And Shinedown is coming on the 12th with Crossfade!!!! I know you'll want to see Shinedown :)

Lemme know if you wanna come down!

And with that, it's time for me to go to work, feeling like a piece of crap. Maybe they'll have pity on me and let me go early if I get the orders done and fill the display case. After all, I did come to work in a hurricane... surely that awards me some sort of leeway.

TTYL!
