so. it's my birthday. i'm 25. it's kind of scary.

i'm tired. getting over my sickness. my mom's out of the hospital, but still feeling like shit.

we didn't really celebrate today, as i'm still feeling cruddy. but, i imagine there will be some eating out later in the week, and perhaps some cake. AND. today gabe got me swedish pancakes for lunch, and we had take-out from my favorite italian restaurant for dinner. these are but a few of the simple joys that keep me going. :)

but yeah. the shit i put in this blog doesn't even cover half of the shit that's really happened so far this year, but whatever. i have to be a little mysterious, don't i?

i still really need a vacation, and i really need it now.

birthdays should not be allowed to be on mondays. but, i'd like to give a special thanks to BRAVO for their West Wing Marathon Mondays.

okay, i'm done.

bleh. i have plenty i want to talk about, but fuck, i'm tired. i've got a cold or the flu or something.

shit just keeps getting crazier, and i just want a BREAK. tucson was a nice break, but it was only 2 days.

when everything calms down, i swear i'll write a book or something.

in the meantime, the newest development is this:
last night i saw my mom have a minor seizure of sorts, and we took her to the ER. turns out, she has meningitis. she's in the icu, but seems to be doing okay. they're giving her morphine for the pain, and anti-biotics to kill the evilness inside. we're still waiting to find out if it's viral or bacterial.

so, yeah. everything ELSE that's on my plate seems pretty childish and stupid compared to that. but i'm sure it will get talked about one day.

i should go to bed now.

uh, some crazy shit happened, and then some more crazy shit happened.

then after that, gabe and i bought a new (used) car. it's PiMP. (IT HAS A MOONROOF AND A CD PLAYER.)

we're going to tucson tomorrow.

the end.

okay, there really is a whole lot more to talk about, but i feel like shit, i'm tired, and i have to wash clothes for the trip.

peas.
