goddamn you rita
apparently, i'm sick. really sick. my peak flow (this little machine for asthmatics) is 350 when i'm really straining. it's supposed to be 480. also, the blood in the mucus i was spitting up was coming off the huge (that's the doctor's words-- she called it huge) ulcer in the back of my throat. how the hell did i get an ulcer in the back of my throat?
the doctor was close to hospitalizing my ass but i told her no. there's no way i'm leaving my sister and brother in my apartment alone. i'd come back to a trashed apartment with shit everywhere.
speaking of which, the majority of my family has evacuated houston b/c of hurricane rita. melba and david came here and my aunt/grandmother/cousins went to dallas. unfortunately, since my mom works for the city she wasn't able to leave houston. but they just told her a little while ago that she can leave today at 4pm. with all the traffic and her shitty little car we're not sure she's going to make it here. i already filled up my tank though so i'm ready to drive my ass out there and get her.
my father and my little sisters are stuck in houston b/c of his clients (they are mentally retarded and violent). i wanted him to bus my sisters here with me but he didn't get a chance to send them out before greyhound suspended ticket sales. i call them every few hours though and they are doing okay. looks like all them (my father, my sisters, the clients, my uncle joe, his wife, and his four kids) are all piling into my dad's house to camp out. they already have water which is more than i can say for lots of people.
in other news, new orleans is once again flooding. that's a damn shame.
things are really falling apart this month.
