I started a blog for my knitting guild, but didn't get any response from the members, so I'm thinking about just using it as a personal knitting blog. It's here if anyone's interested.

11:14 am - ...again
|

We had a Rogue Hamster Event early this morning. I had just happened to have gotten up at 4something am, and Bill got up to use the bathroom, turned on the light, and noticed that the top of Bart's cage was open, and the cat was making weird noises. I immediately shot out of bed, and there they both were, by the cat's water bowl, just... hanging out. Gwen gave us this "Mom, Dad, this THING is out and I'm not sure what to do!" look. Bart was perfectly fine. We put him in his cage, he drank a LOT, so I'm sure he'd been out for a while, and went to sleep. I bet he was down there eating cat food and having a grand old time.

Thank you, American Electric Power, for deciding that the transformers on all the buildings near where I work and live need moved. I especially thank you for the jackhammering of the walkway between home and work, in the middle of the workday, so that I can breathe concrete dust and wheeze and itch for the rest of the day. It's very considerate of you.
Fuckers.
current mood:  Congested

9:00 am - Public Post
|
I don't do this very often, but I thought I'd put a public post out there for anyone who may be interested in adding my journal.
Warning, things get a bit silly in here sometimes.
Check the profile for more info, but in summary:
I'm goofy, I work in public service, I have the best boyfriend in the universe, my hamster could kick your hamster's ass, I knit and I'm proud of it, I drive a little black car with a sunroof and I love it, I'm short, and I'm obsessed with penguins.

7:20 am - hmm

let's just take a quick look at my last 60 days:
August 5th. Maternal grandmother, who practically raised me dies.
August 8th. Buried said grandmother, get diagnosed with deviated septum severe enough to warrant immediately fixing.
August 24th. Get transferred at work into a position i don't want. Permanently
September 1st. Birthday. Actually happy, gasp.
September 5th. Other grandmother dies. Have to put up with my crazy alcoholic relatives for days. Manage to avoid going nuts by a very narrow margin.
Sept 7th. yet another funeral. Have to work half a day to save time off for surgery
Sept 8th. Preop testing. pass out cold when i have blood drawn. this does not bode well.
Sept. 15th. surgery. not as bad as i expected, but not plesant.
Sept. 16th. packing removal. horriffic.
Sept 17-25. deal with having a nose held together with sutures and plastic splints. slowly regain senses of taste and smell, deal with quite a bit of pain and constantly feeling stuffy and congested.
Sept 26th, splints out. finally. feel somewhat human for the first time in 10 days. can breathe perfectly through nose, mission accomplished.
i'd say that was enough for any one person to deal with in a month and a half, wouldn't you?

just so everyone knows, going around for 11 days with plastic sutured to your nose sucks royal ass.
this minute, almost exactly, marks the time i left the hospital one week ago today.

i'm tired. i'm tired of my family dying. i'm tired of being sick all the time. i'm tired of having too much work and not enough time to do it. i'm tired of being publicly disparaged when i have no idea what i could have done wrong. i'm tired of trying to be everyone in the world's friend and getting kicked in the ass for it. tired of sobbing until i throw up because i do care what people think of me, even though i shouldn't. tired of depending on everyone.
sometimes i don't know why i even bother.
current mood:  melancholy

So, I haven't posted much about my grandmother, mostly because I was walling it all up. She had been admitted to the hospital almost three weeks ago, after falling out of bed and lying on the floor for god knows how long. initial diagnosis was pneumonia, then they said that she MIGHT have had a heart attack and all of the sudden, her kidneys started shutting down, and they decided that it wasn't pneumonia, the fluid on her lungs was from congestive heart failure. she moved from cardiac care unit, to icu, to a regular room and she just kept getting worse and worse, until last saturday, where she was amazingly with it, and awake and aware, and i finally took bill to meet her, and she loved him. flirted with him even! ..but by the next day she was pretty much out of it again. she'd have dialysis one day, have a good day the day after that, and then a really bad one the next. by tuesday, when she was actually awake, she begged us to just let her die, to give her something to make her heart stop. she was tired of hurting, tired of missing my grandfather, tired of fighting. so... that day my mother and aunt made the decision to discontinue treatment. we told her during a lucid moment, and she just said "that's what i want. thank you"... so yesterday, we transferred her to hubbard hospice house, which is the most peaceful, serene, amazing place I've ever been, and also the place where my grandfather died, yesterday afternoon. Bill and I went up there at about 7 yesterday evening and stayed until 10ish. the nurses were as amazing as ever, the hospice dog, ginger, was as sweet as i remembered. click the link and read the tour to see her, she's amazing. ginger just showed up one day during the construction of the house, and never left. she's a huge comfort to all of the families, and has an uncanny habit of sitting outside a patient's room when they're getting ready to die.... but i'm sidetracking.
she died at about 3 am today. peacefully, in her sleep. holding the rosary my stepfather brought her back from the vatican last year, the only thing she asked for from his trip to the country where she was born.

Fine. Defriended. I never did anything wrong, I never SHUNNED anyone. I don't always reply to every single friends entry and I don't always reply to every comment. If you want to take that personally, so be it, but I never had a problem. Your loss. One of us is being a drama queen, and it's sure as hell not me.
