I'm apologizing ahead of time for the following bitch, but I need to get it out somewhere, and I can't really do this on LJ without creating a new filter, and I'm lazy and cranky right now.
Mom found out that I'm gonna go visit Mike, so she wants to go too, which is great. But, then she wants me to take her home, because the train schedule will be sparse by then, and she doesn't want to get home too late, because S can't walk Rachie, because, hello, husband in the hospital. I'm not even picking mom up until after class ends (so I won't get her till around 6pm). We'll probably be at the hospital for an hour. Then I have to run home and take Toto out before I take her home. I'll probably get home around 10pm. Which, ok. Usually that would be fine. I don't have classes on Wednesday, but...
Tomorrow I'm picking up a friend at the airport. At 5:35 a.m. In CT (it's a two hour drive from my place). Then she's taking me to Worcester, where I'll catch a train and go straight to therapy. After therapy, I have to run to campus where I'll have three tutoring sessions. Then I can go home and do homework for classes on Thursday.
Did I mention I'm in the middle of a fibro flare-up? This is too much for me on a good day. Add in pain and exhaustion, and well, I'm exhausted just thinking about it.

You know what's really tasty? Trader Joe's Chimmichurri rice. mmm.
d! You can do it! I just carry my keys in my hand, but there are all sorts of nifty things for attaching them to your shoe or whatever.
Sean! Awesome!
vw, is there any way you can lighten the load?
Can you arrange to visit with your mom on another day, vw? Or tell her that it's too much for you because of the flare-up? I'm sure she wouldn't want you to be dealing with all this stuff while in pain.

The only thing I can think of is not going to the hospital tonight, and really, that would make me feel really badly. Dad's out of town for work and can't go, so I totally understand why mom wants to go. This guy's wife came in and got the dogs when I was sick in February and had to go into the hospital (and she's got severe anxiety around driving in the city). It just feels like the least I can do.
Ok. I'm gonna scream. Nevermind. Just took a deep breath instead. Got an e-mail asking me to represent the English department at the open house this weekend (give us much notice?). Just good grief. When did I get so popular?
And it took me about 10 times to attempt to post that, so I'm going to log off and go up to see a prof before class. Have good afternoons everyone!
Also, while uploading the picture of Armin, I also uploaded a bunch of pictures I took from the Halloween Horror Nights install, as well as some pcitures of my absolutely beautiful niece and nephew.
Seany - you need the Erin Gray picture, too.
Who ended up witht hat, anyway?
Niece and nephew are CUTEST EVER.
Happy birthday, d! Your cupcakes look and sound DEE-LISH!
