It’s been really tough lately, frands.  I’m about to leave to pick up my sister from the airport (she’s arriving for the last of the memorial services for my cousin who died last week).  But Feisty Cat is snuggled in my lap, patting my hand with her little paw, and I will get to hug my sister v v soon and things will get better.

Earlier this week my cousin died unexpectedly of an overdose.  It’s been heartbreaking and terrible trying to get from day to day since then.  There are so many things I wish I could have changed for her, burdens that she had to bear that I feel like I should have been able to lighten more.  What’s  horrible isn’t so much the regrets of the past but the shock of this stasis now - nothing can ever change for her again.  There’s nothing else we can do.

quick wrist injury update:  turns out i won’t need surgery for my wrist, so that is a huge relief!

it is my left wrist that’s broken btw  - uncomfortable + tough to do normal stuff + typing is super slow one-handed (normally i’m a v fast typist).  But I can hand-write with my right/dominant hand - good news as I need to keep turning in wkly pages for my writing class.

ty again to so many people for your lovely good wishes!  I appreciate it v much indeed!

frands I broke my wrist yesterday so I’ll probably not be around much for the next little while

So after dealing with some boils, both painful as fuck and not very painful at all, it got me thinking. I’m about to start working on my Bachelors, and I am not taking care of myself well at all. I feel like crap a lot, physically and psychologically/emotionally. I need to start actually taking my vitamins, brushing my teeth every day so as to slow the progress that my teeth have ground down to so far, exercising more. Taking better care of my room as well, everything always ends up stacked a foot high. I just need to semi-permanently turn over a new leaf.

OH HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s such a relief!  :D   Actually, I might slump down and slide to the floor against the wall and just stare at dust motes the rest of the day, because I feel like I’ve been on constant vigilance mode for the past few weeks and I’m going to crash in like 3...2...1...

Just a quick update on my mum for anyone wondering.

She’s still in the hospital -- various things get ruled out, various other things seem to crop up.  There’s not immediate danger of anything really awful, but she’s pretty far off her baseline in terms of memory and general mental acuity.  Still, she’s close-ish to being released?  Possibly?  As soon as they run that one last test and figure everything out?  But then again that’s how it’s been for over a week now. 

So no real news, except that amid her confusion about, well, everything, she’s very interested in who all the doctors might be dating (she asked one guy about his girlfriend, and then quickly followed, “or boyfriend, because why not?”), and their aspirations (”what kind of doctor do you want to be when you grow up?” she asked encouragingly to a kidney specialist who is at least in his 50s). 

She’s been sweet as pie to me, which is how she is when she’s ill/off her baseline.  It makes everything easier to deal with for sure, but of course we ultimately want her to get back to her difficult self.  Family, man.
