• Exhaustion...

  Wednesday, Jul 18, 2007 10:58AM / /

  Okay, so, I went and took care of my grandfather. We went to the doctor...his heart is fine...thank god! We're waiting to hear back from the blood tests and he gets to have an CT scan tomorrow. I'm praying it all turns out well and this is just a bad reaction to some medication. But who knows.
  
  The reason for the title...No joke...I mowed 5 acres of grass today. That's a lot of freakin grass!!!! And during this time, I had to rake mulch AND, PUSH a John Deere tractor 10 feet...i'm tired, i'm sunburned, and i'm exhausted. BUT...i feel like i have accomplished something. And this makes me happy. AND my mom's paying me. I know, i'm a cheap shot for taking money from my poor sweet mother, but oh well. Money is money and this was hard earned. So i'm going to take it...and use it to buy Harry Potter! Meh...3 days...3 fuckin days. Oh well...i think i'll survive until then.
  
  Can we tell i'm tired? Just check and see how many typos there are in this super short journal entry. It's seriously sad...

• Babysitting of a different sort

  Tuesday, Jul 17, 2007 4:44AM / /

  I have to go and babysit my grandfather tonight. It makes me sad that his health has degraded enough to where someone had to be with him constantly. He's fallen 3 times in 5 days, once bad enough to where he slashed his arm open and we had to take him to the hospital to get stitches. That was the first time he fell, he fell twice after that. He's so weak...it makes me so sad.
  
  And it also brings into sharp contrast the fact that I won't have him that much longer. The man's 89 years old. I know he's had a good long life, but I don't want him to go just yet. Call me selfish, but i want him to be able to see me get married. So far he's only seen 1 of his grandchildren get married, and he's seen the birth of his first great-granddaughter. I want him to be able to see the same of me. I want my children to know who my "Pop" is. I want him to be around to tell them stories of "the good ole days". Pop is the foundation of my family. He's the stronghold. Without him...will we still be our tight knit family? Will we still be the family that turns to each other for support and care? I think so, but without Pop...I'm not going to think about that now. Too sad...
  
  So, i will go out to my mum's and take care of my aging grandfather. I will take care of him just like he took care of me when i was a baby. It's the least i can do for the man who gives me inspiration and guidance when i need it most.

• The Long Road Home

  Monday, Jul 16, 2007 1:03PM / /

  Well, I can honestly say, I have had a good day. My best friend came home today. I feel like I am complete now. Sad isn't it? But now that she's home, i feel more at ease, like there was some part of me missing. But this happiness is only temporary. She's leaving again in like 2 weeks. It makes me sad. I hate it. She'll be in Florida, yet again. And me...well...I will be here, wallowing in my pity at not having my best friend to hang out with. So sad...
  
  But on a happier note...the book I'm currently reading is super, super good. Anyone who doesn't know who Patricia Briggs is, really must go and check out her work. They are amazing books. I started out reading two of them. I didn't even know she had other series. But, by happenstance I went to her web page and voila...So far I've read 2 more of her series and they're just as fantastic as the original ones I read. So, super happiness.
  
  My mom laughs at me every time I get a new book. She says it's like Christmas come early for me. And really it's true. With most girls it's shopping or something of the like. Me...nothing makes me happier than walking out of Barnes and Noble with a bag full of books. Ah...I have dreams of it. I suppose it's the over all feeling that I have something new to sink my mind into. Something new for my imagination to toy with. That has to be it. 
  
  I'm trying to work on my fanfiction...I don't know what's wrong with me. I have the grandest idea for the chapter I'm stuck on. The problem...I can't seem to put it into the right words. I know where it's going, and I know where I want it to go...but damn it all...my mind won't piece it together correctly. I know other authors out there feel my pain. Suggestions would be most welcome.
  
  But this is the rambling for now. I'm going to go work on my side things. I've done something I swore I would never do. I've written an MPreg story. We're going to leave it at that for now. Anyone who doesn't know what that is..go look it up somewhere. But I swore I would never do it, and I have. And I'm almost quite happy to say that I'm extremely proud of the way it's going. For some reason I'm having the easiest time writing it than my fanfiction. I suppose it's because in my MPreg story the characters and story are completely of my own devise. I've created it all in that little world, so therefore I can do what i will with it.
  
  Oh well...

• Well, well, well, what do we have here?

  Sunday, Jul 15, 2007 2:48PM / /

  Well, here we have me...and my chair...and my aching back...I swear sitting in a theater for 2 and a half hours is bad for my health! Although, it was quite worth it. I got to see Harry Potter for the second time. And, of course, it was just as fantastic as it was the first time. And i really would love to make this very first entry longer, but alas, i am so tired i can barely keep my eyes open. And isn't that just horrible. And worse still is that i'm almost done with the book i'm reading and i still have FIVE whole days until the final Harry Potter book. Ah...woe is me. I know, i know...quit whining.
  
  You know...it would be quite horrible if in this last book, my two favorite characters die. I mean, hello, if Ginny Weasley and Draco Malfoy die...well...where the hell does that leave us D/G shippers? To quote a very great friend, "We ignore it and go on writting as if it never happened!" Well Mako-chan. I completely agree. If they do die, i will ignore it, though if they don't, it just goes to show you that we were right! Muwahahaha! Okay, now i'm rambling.
  
  I'd better go to bed before someone gets hurt, or i make anymore typos...
