yes, i am alive. if you have any more specific questions, feel free to ask.

Backing up a bit...

My dad's latest play was actually really great. It was a piece about mental health, basically an autobiography made into a play. Surprisingly, great writing, and the play was really well done. It was quite heartbreaking.

We went on a comedy Jack The Ripper walk, kind of a spoof of Ripper conspiracy theories. The guy was pretty funny, but the tour a bit slap-dash. Quite fun though.

Zombieland stopped showing stupidly early, and I had saved up seeing it to just before Halloween! To compensate we saw Dr Parnassus instead; I was surprised how much I liked it. There was enough Python-esque stuff to keep me very happy.

For my parents' 30th anniversary, my brother and I sneakily put together a photo album of family pics; I found some gold, in pics of my parents when they were first married. Although it did make me realise that, as a family, we are terrible at taking photos!

I got to hang out with Jilly on Friday night and Saturday daytime ^_^ We watched Volver and A Star is Born, both great girly films.

I had an awesome time at our Halloween party. There was a sad point where lots of people left early, but after that it got good again, mainly because Dean's friends stayed. I love Dean's friends, they are so cute.

Had a lovely day-after-party yesterday, doing absolutely nothing with the folks that stayed over.

Today at work I was still pretty fuzzy.

This evening I do nothing but mess about online. Oh, I started buying xmas presents! Halloween's over, roll on xmas!

The odds were against me but in the end I pulled together a costume (mosting held together with safty pins) and got to go out. The tag team of zac and mom held down the fort for me to slip away for a few hours. I got to hit leia's party with katherine and jody and then swing by another party with stephen and misha. There was even a bonus apperence of my brother to boot. It was good fun and I'm happy.

so you know that part in Cinderella where she gets all her chores done in time to go to the ball, but didn't have any time to sew her dress? but then the talking mice show up, having make the dress for her and she is so happy? i need to borrow those mice cause there is no time to get my Halloween costume done.

but i guess, i don't really have a ball to go to any way. there aren't any big Halloween plans out there for me. i was thinking i could go to one of the parties i was facebook invited to even though i wont know too many people there. or call up Stephen in desperation and try to catch a ride on what ever his plans are. that was my vague idea, in a world where i had a costume to show off. but then mom, forgetting about Halloween all together decided to plan an out of town trip this weekend. since nana is home...


YAH@!!!! WOOT! nana is home. no more rehab for her :DDDDDD

any way. i wish i had gotten a lot more done on the house. there is so much left to do it feels like i haven't gotten any thing at all done. there was a mad dash for cleaning today but i didn't began to get it all done. i have been low level sick for about two weeks now but with mom and zac taking sick days, i guess mine will have to wait. i just try to get as much done each day with the energy i have and try not to over do it too much. if i get really sick, we are going to be pretty fucked. today was my worst day in a while, after getting up at 7:45, getting people breakfast and off to work and then doing mad cleaning dash till nana got home, delt with mom stess and what not, i just crashed at around 4. i laid down on the couch and just couldn't move for about two hours (except for a short trip to feed the horses). i was soooo tired. nana was very cute trying to get up and get a blaket for me with her walker. i eventually got up and got back to doing things but i was horribly irritable for the rest of the night. i kept fussing at nana about using her walker right, and almost yelling at mom over silly things and then having nana fuss at me for fussing at mom. it was all annoy and a bit pointless. i guess i was really worried about money today too because there is not enough of it and every one keeps asking me for it and mom came up with like $20,000 in bills she wants me to pay for her in the last two days.

can i just have one problem at a time, or at lest like a 5 problem max?

i'm just tied.

i am sooooo happy that nana is doing so much better. she is going to be walking with out the walker in no time. home health visits start monday. tomorrow i want to have a whole day with out fast food and cook for the both of us. we will see.

blah. ok. should really be asleep.

p.s. i think part of the bad mood and moral crash today was a lack of shower, i didn't manage to fit one in. here is to a brighter and less smelly tomorrow.

Hung out with british sarah. Went to the state fair. Went to dc. Saw lovely art. Am home now. Bye sarah, you rock for visiting. Wish it could have been less stress.

Hung out with nana tonight. Tomorrow the guys start the new roof on the rental house. I'm getting up at 6.30am to taxi people and make coffee. Therefore I should stop playing with my phone and go to sleep. Good night.
