I spent all weekend at the hospital. Sunday my father went to the ER because his heart was racing. A few hours later my sister had me take her because of a stomach pain that would not go away. My father was okay but they kept him to run more tests just in case. My sister had an inflamed gallbladder and needed it removed. Turns our it was pink and very large. Apparently the gallbladder should be more of a greenish hue and smaller. Doctor took pictures of it. Anyway she just got home today and my father the day before. I was running between floors those two days though.

This week has included snow,ice storms knocking out power,high wind,rain,60 degrees, and an earthquake last night. I don't know what to wear until I wake up either freezing or burning up because it was cold when I went to bed and used a blanket. Sister is back home but he car was repossessed so she is using moms. Dad left truck running to keep it warm while he ran into store and it was stole. In the truck was his cell phone and gun. Nothing has turned up yet and most likely won't. The truck was 20 years old and a piece of junk but was paid off so that was an advantage. He got a new car so that is okay, not he needs to get a new gun. I am really into the Olympics this year. I never was before except in 1996 when it was held here in Atlanta. My family went downtown and hung around and saw all the vendors and cool stuff. We were supposed to go the day of the bombing but didn't make it before the news hit. Luckily.

So I woke up last week from a dead sleep and realized it was a noise that caused it. Saw smoke in the little amount of moonlight coming in the room. I turned on my lamp and saw that my surge protected outlet strip was on fire. Smoke pour from each plug and a popping noise. No flames yet thank God. I quickly unplugged it from the wall and removed all cords from it. The smell was horrible and weird. I noticed a puddle underneath and figured out it was pee. This new fucking cat peed on my electrical strip and almost caused a fire in my room. I hate this cat. My sister brought it home for us to look after. Its owner had a stroke and is in rehab recovering. So it could be a while. Damn! Speaking of my sister she was acting kind of odd. One day a few weeks ago a woman stopped by and told my mother my sister was involved with bad people. That at that moment a drug dealer with no license was driving her car. She had gotten into meth. METH? Seriously? WTF? She denied it but her behavior is enough to cast doubt. She doesn't come home anymore. She said she has not moved out because she cannot pay rent but she is never here. My sister said the woman was lying because my sister had slept with her husband. Really? That is so much better than meth. Oh but they had an open relationship. Another lie. If someone has an open relationship the partner does not get angry at the mistress. She is also screwing up her bank account. Her car payments are behind. They call my mother because her name is on the bill I guess. At least life hasn't been boring.

Went to cousins wedding. It was beautiful and the bride was so sweet. They seem like the couple that will make it. Also saw the rest of the family. We have not been in one place since grandfathers funeral in 2005. Wonderful to be together for a happy occasion. My youngest cousin is living on Colorado no. Worrying because of the flooding. She went on Facebook to let us all know she was fine. It only washed out the road out of town. Seriously? That is not worrying? Was sexually harassed on a sales call. Received a robocall about lowering credit interest and hit the button to take me to a live person. I told the man to take me off the list because I own no credit cards. He asked if my husband did and I informed him I am not married. Was asked if my boyfriend did and told him I have no boyfriend. Then he said "What size are your boobs honey?" I froze in shock at the audacity and then hung up. Sat for like a minute with me mouth wide open. Aren't those calls recorded? Maybe his sexist Indian attitude makes him think because I am American woman I can be talked to like an object. WTF? Went to the final taping of Family Feud for the season. Sat in the front row next to the judge. Saw her hitting the X buzzer. Also saw the answer sheet heh. Saw an episode I attended air. It was interesting to see which parts the edited out.

Went to doctor who ignored my concerns over abscesses on my legs. Antibiotics and then go home. Went to different doctor who opened the one up under my arm and did a culture. Looks like MRSA. That explains why this happened two times in one year. Regular medicine doesn't treat it.  I was mentioned on ffrantanon. Yay me. Trying to be more zen and relax and let things go. Teflon mind is what the therapist calls it. It is helping somewhat. Gutter fell off section of roof during bad rainstorm. Canceling my Twitter account. It keeps adding people for me and no. Just no. So I'm out of there. Medication is making me so nauseous.

I feel panicky for some strange reason. Got to love anxiety. Comes from nowhere and strikes for no freaking reason. The hell? Had a nice day out and then bam! There is currently an obese cat outside my door. No idea why he is upstairs. Fat ass eats my cats food. Kind of in love with
project-unbreakable.org. It is just so real and involved. Went to allergist. Blew into tube. Breathing was normal. Did a test for nitrogen levels in lungs and they were "off the charts" high. It means inflammation, so I received several different medicines. For the first time in a long time I can breath well. I was breathing worse a few weeks ago than I did back when I smoked. Ridiculous.

Bad storms last night. Over 100k lost power, including us. Dark for over 4 hours all the while the tornado/severe storm siren was wailing at the firehouse down the road. It was very boring. Finally financially stable for a little bit at least. Less stress= happier me. Took my car in for oil change and turns out it needs a lot of work done. But they were very surprised the shape the car was in considering it is a 99 model. They were impressed it only needed what it does. I could get a new one but this one is paid off and runs great so why bother. I just need to get around, it doesn't have to be fancy. Although I wouldn't say no if someone offered me a brand new tricked out car.

Daddy was in the hospital for a week but was released. During that time he was allowed no cigarettes or alcohol. Doctors told him never again. So he came home and I caught him with beer which I took from him and poured out. Since then I have seen no evidence he is drinking again. It is weird I have gone almost 30 years and never once seen the man sober. I like him better this way. He is less of an ass. Hopefully it keeps. He hasn't gone back to work yet so we'll see. Kitten plays with pitbull. Kitten gets bitten in the tail. Kitten has to go to vet. My bank account dwindles. Kitten comes home and plays with dog again. Kitten is going to get his ass kick by me. Got free tickets to be in audience of Family Feud, so that should be fun. Bought Dragon Con tickets as well, not for free. Found out wolves in the wild don't have Alphas. That is a captive behavior. Werewolf fandom is going to freak out. Upped my anti anxiety dose so life is less stressful. I hate when people ask "Why are you so anxious?". Because my dear I have no control over my brain and it decided to make me like this. Not because of my life, it is biology.

So this past day sucked. Went and had my cat put to sleep. He was diagnosed with feline leukemia and they said he would go downhill fast when he started to go. Two weeks and 1 and a half puds lost later and it was time to let him go. He was not even 2 years old yet. He received all his shots but it turns out he most likely got it  nursing from his mother and had it all along. It just was waiting to act. I held him until it was over. I hate this part of owning an animal. Plus medicaid won't pay for the one freaking med I need to help me function. It has now run out of my system all the way. Fun!

Merlin the first moment he arrived. He was so scared and cute.
