Sometimes I feel shellshocked, like I've been through a war

[maypirate]

My mom is having surgery tomorrow on her amazing technicolor ankle (circe67, I took pictures for you, but they didn't do the rainbow that is her flesh justice), and it was all very uh...difficult afternoon.

My dad is who I inherited my spaz and OCD from, and he is already a ridiculously intense and hardcore person, and apparently he's barely eaten or slept since the accident. So now we have two largely un-calm people prowling around the same house trying to deal with the fallout of this, and my mom told me to take care of my dad, my dad says he doesn't need to be taken care of and seems to think I can't take care of myself, we agitate each other every thirty seconds, ARGH MY MOMMY, and Oni still won't eat her lettuce.

And now my mom can't go to her high school reunion, and it's starting to look quesitonable as to how my shit is going to get to Virginia, since now it's almost certain that I'll be flying out alone. And I'm not sure I can pack my enormous computer or my desk in a suitcase.

Ughgghughguhgghuh.

mikkeneko, will you be around tonight? If you are, and I'm not, text me?

pairaka, where are you?

You might want to consider just taking your laptop(?) and getting a desk at Ikea here. Because, yeah. It'll be a fucktonlot easier.

Tell your mommy I says I hope she gets better!

Yeah, I just...er....I prefer writing papers on my other computer, because I am a douche. I just called to find out if it would be possible for me to rent a car and drive myself down, so maybe I'll do that.

I will! Are you feeling better yet?

Better, but not 100% yet.

I haven't been on because my Mommy and Daddy have been visiting so I didn't find out about your Mommy until just today. Then Kaitlynn was leaving for camp and she had to be taken to stay with her coach because they're leaving really early tomorrow morning. Like, the time I'm milking goats early so it's easier for her to stay with her coach tonight. But she was going to go out with her coach's daughter and friends and have a good time tonight.

And Beth doesn't get home from Maryland until sometime tomorrow night...So it's just Bill, Amanda and me.

I'm sorry to hear about your mom's injury. Tell her I'm thinking about her and wondering if there's anything I make/have she likes that I can send to make her feel better...

Hugs to you and well wishes to your mom and chill thoughts to your dad (you don't have to tell him about those, however ;).

I'm making a sign for when I fetch you from the airport. And you'll love it. Totally. And you also get to keep it too. Muahahahahahhahahaha.

I can imagine you and your dad eating each other in not-calmness.

Everything will work out! Somehow things will make it. And your mommy's okay! Yay!
