Okay so the last few weeks have been a bit on the hectic side. Last Wed (the one before the 4th)I got woke up early as because dad thought he was having a heart attack on the way to Texas. So I had to drive an hour to pick him up at my Aunts house and take him to PB for a CT scan. Come to find out he has something called Minear's Syndrome which is an inner ear thing which causes dizziness, sweating, nausea, ect. So he spent the rest of the week in bed. He went back to work on Saturday. Cindy, Sammy, and Shelby came down for the weekend on Friday and were here until Tuesday just after lunch. INSANE! It was pretty fun though, aside from Shel giving dad and I colds. My grandma on my dad's side (not the one in the convalescent home) came over Sunday-Wed. I took her home and went to the doctor for my cold, and to get an appointment to have my tonsils out.
Well I did. Get an appointment I mean. Ugh. The one for me to meet the doc and have him look is July 24, so I'll be cutting it super CLOSE on getting it over and done before uni resumes on Aug 23. The doc I went to see took one look at my throat and asked if I snored (yes) and if they were always that swollen (again, yes) and he said I was verging on airway obstruction. Fun. *rolls eyes* I'm fucking dreading it so bad. Em and I were supposed to go see PoTC:Dead Man's Chest tonight, but it's 5.15 now and we need to be gone in a half hour and she's not even home from work yet. Meh.
Then, I came in from cutting the lawn a half ago, and mom said my cousins Taylor and Micah, and my aunt fran and uncle doug are coming for dinner tomorrow night. Fuckin' a. That means the computer will be unplugged, DS, PS2, and Gamecube will be hidden. Oh, and my pod. *le sigh* So anyway, last week when dad and I were on the way home from his scan, we got to talking about Florida somehow. And I knew he'd been to Miami loads of times, but I didn't know he'd been to SOUTH BEACH! He said last night that one time he'd been down there and something had gone wrong with his big truck and the company had to get him a rental and pay all his expenses. He essentially got paid for a weeklong vacation in SoBe! *swoons* Of course, he didn't like it. He hates FL. Why I dunno but he does.
One last thing, which is like THE best news in weeks! *ahems loudly* My mother has started a credit union. Where you know, they take $50 (£25) a week and put back in this account. You may be wondering why I'm sharing this. Heh, the money's for meeeeee! Jenni love? It's so on for next summer! I figure I'll come a week before your birthday and stay a week after? (I'm not missing out on another drinking party!) Anyway, we can discuss it sometime next week when we're online. What're we gonna do? I wanna do that boat thing, shop, go to a PROPER pub, and a footy game! Uhm. Other than that? Dun care! I'm excited!! YAAAAAAY! UK here I come!!
