Wait, wrong topic. I'm presently realizing how tired I am.

I was at Phil's, as described in my topic.

Yeah, I know, right? A looong time ago. Hey guys. HOLY [pick a word, I'm tired the first one that came to mind wasn't postable] I haven't seen you in FOREVER! How have you been?

Today was good. I went over to Phil's house for the evening for dinner and to hang out and watch the opening ceremony for the olympics, as well as play video games for a bit. And there was a lot more kissing than normal. I think it's really starting to hit us that he goes back to college in two weeks, and I go back in three. I probably already said this but it's going to be really hard. Not just for me, but I think for him too. It might have been because he was tired, but he almost looked like he was going to cry at a couple points in the evening (which, keep in mind, he hasn't cried in years, presumably due to some form of psychological abuse/trauma from his stepmom when he was little). I actually did start crying on my way home.

I was just watching it at Phil's house. Absolutely spectacular.

I don't remember much of her posting either. Looks like I missed out. 'tis probably for the best. Seems like she was the type of person who might have warranted unfriendly Terry, and we don't want that....

BetterTAn??? How about just go outside? I don't have the patience. I'd rather be pale. Ohwait, I *am* pale. Actually, even this is tan for me, and it's from just doing stuff outside. I really need to get out more.... Well, I'm going to a wedding Saturday, so I wanted a little tan. Speaking of the wedding... I have to do a speech for my step-sister, and I am flipping outtttttttt! I had a nervous breakdown trying to read it to a friend. I cannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnot do this infront of 200. I need help. Start practicing in front of groups of friends and such. And relax. Breathe. There's nothing to be scared about.

Hm....I must have been inactive when she was around.

Well, I like my meat cooked thoroughly because I don't like being sick. Today was pretty boring overall. Nothing out of the ordinary to report, outside of thunderstorms, which isn't really out of the ordinary either.

Anyone who looks at my pictures topic knows what I look like. Although for anyone who hasn't, I'm curious.

I don't know. I might get a much needed haircut. Oh. I suppose I should probably get dressed first. So that's what I'm gonna do when I get off the internet.

As mentioned in the other topic, I was sleeping.

Did you cook? Psh no. Me cooking = ramen or chicken noodle soup, unless I'm really feeling motivated. Dad made hamburgers, which Phil loved, because they were cooked properly and not burnt, like how his grandpa makes them. My preference for hamburgers is 'walking'. Haha :-p I like meat cooked medium well. Cooked, but not crispy.

I was taking Phil home. The end of the summer is approaching WAY too fast.

Woooo nerdiness! I'll be going to sleep.

That's a bit too far of a drive for me lol XD Today was fun. I went grocery shopping and saw Phil, which was nice, and then he was able to come over for dinner, which was even better.

Banana!!!!! Hammerhead shark or Tiger shark? Hammerhead Shark. They have awesome-shaped heads. Text Smileys (like o_o) or Board smileys (like ) Board smilies! Dell or Gateway? In the interest of this topic not dying, I arbitrarily pick Dell. Lava lamps or fiber optic lamps? (I would have said Neither. LOL) Lava lamps. Sunrises or sunsets? Me too, but we're not allowed to say neither. oooh....both are so pretty...sunrises tend to be prettier, but in the interest of not being awake that early in the morning, I pick sunsets. kilts or togas?

I will be eating lunch and going grocery shopping. I would be shopping now, but dad once again forgot to leave his debit card here when he went to work.

I was taking a shower and getting dressed and all that.

The problem is that grandma can't be left alone. She's like a toddler you can't hire a sitter for. When they're home in CT, mom takes her out to the senior center, but stays with her. Yeah, I think that given the right tools and funding, dad can fix anything. However, we don't always have the right tools and funding. Phil never made it over here, but we'll see what happens when he gets out of work tomorrow. At the very least, I'll see him at the store, because we actually need stuff this time. The senior center here has lots of extra staff so that the people with various stages of dementia are watched closely. Plus they have so many activities, people are entertained and distracted. Your mother really needs to have a break. The stress must be very hard on her. Funding... that is always a drawback. LOL I think you will always 'need' something from the grocery store. LOL The problem is that grandma is one of those stubborn types who most likely won't listen to anyone she doesn't know. The stress is getting to be difficult for mom, and her 5 brothers are usually not much help. The ones who want to help can't, and the ones who can help don't want to. :closedeyes: If things get too hard, we'll have to put grandma in a nursing home. Yeah, funding is probably the #1 reason so many projects remain uncompleted. #2 is probably time. Well yes, but this time I have a shopping list with more than three things on it. Actually, I figure it counts as "we need stuff" if I can't go through express checkout. I hope dad left me his debit card like he was supposed to. Actually, I really ought to move the money back into my account from all the times I got groceries with my own card because dad forgot to give me his. I'm probably missing close to $100 by now. My heart goes out to your mother. She is such a wonderful person to do what she is doing. Being a 24 hour care-giver is so hard. Here is how things go for me... when I have time, I have no money and when I have money, I have no time. That's a good way to view if you really need stuff... if you can't go through the express checkout. Although, I would be careful about the $100 that you're missing. Do you pay rent? As you are not working, may I might suggest being very diplomatic. I just talked to mom, she said she'll probably be coming back home with grandma after next weekend because it's too hard to take care of her up at camp. That's exactly how it works for us too. Although we also have the problem of good weather for construction projects being the same as good weather for flying. I don't pay rent, but it's well-established that my parents pay for groceries (not like I eat much anyways lol). I just moved the money over a little while ago and let mom know. She sounded happy to not have to deal with it. My parents regularly joke about how great it is that Phil works at the grocery store because I'm always willing to get groceries for them.

*had a difficult time getting up at 9am* Welcome to the afternoon. I'm still used to the college time zone.
