Am on a sailboat with tuna steaks and eggplant on the grill and a dog (not mine) on my lap. Doesn't get much better than this.
Yeah, I could do that, but I'm paralyzed with not caring very much.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ooh, I want to go to there. Instead, I just got home from the hospital, where my father is, after having a seizure in the middle of the night. And of course I didn't hear my mother call, because I was in my room with the a/c on, and my phone was not. Luckily, I woke up at 7.
We did still go to Home Depot, though! And made appointments for someone to go and measure, and for us to pick all the stuff. Of course, we went when we did because the doctor said my father would be getting an EEG and a room, and when we got back, none of that had happened. He still hasn't had the EEG.
Also, some people from my mother's church are moving into my grandmother's apartment today, because they aren't going back to China until next week or something, and their lease ended today.
Good times.

Oh no! I hope he's OK. What did you get measured for at Home Depot? Is this part of replacing the bathroom, or something else?
I just was startled by the doorbell ringing--I swung the door open assuming it was a package, and it was a friend of mine who was in the neighborhood and wanted to use my bathroom! Hah! We will probably go to the lake later, it's supposed to be warm here.

All new kitchen! It's very old and terrible. I'm just getting a new bathroom sink, because the bathroom is even older and awesome.

ARGH -- now the washing machine in my building isn't working, and I would love to do a load of laundry! I could bring it to my parents', but I would really like to just sit here for a couple of hours alone before I go back to the hospital. FFS.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Oh Jesse, I am sorry for the no good horrible day, and I hope your dad is okay and that something else good happens to make up for the day as well.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
What a lot of trouble to start the day with, Cowgirl. Glad it was mitigated by new kitchen shopping!

Jesse,
you have had quite the 2013. If you need some time to yourself, maybe go to a good laundromat? Some of them aren't terrible.

Yeah, I should have, but now it's kind of too late. And I don't know where there is one near me! Maybe I'll bring it to the parents' in the morning.
