Blue Roses

Howdy from Texas, my loves.

I have had such a fabulous vacation! Dude, seriously. I love it here. Except the heat, of course. LOL I was in sleeveless today and was sweaty. It felt like June, man. <.g> It's nuts.

Jennie and I watched all of season 3 on BUffy. <.g> 19 episodes in one weekend, and the last 3 eps yesterday. How insane is that? But it was so much fun, and so great to see them all again. Makes me laugh, because that's how I spent my first visit to Krissy's too. <.g>

Also watched a bunch of West Wing. Noel right now. Lovely fun.

Hey, Krissy - remember that XFiles story with me and Mulder? It's been rewritten and it's no longer me at ALL. Ever. It just ain't. <.g> It;s been bugging me for years. In fact, the next step may be to rewrite part two so that there is much happiness. In fact, yes, I can see it now. Happy endings all over the place. ::nods::

So, yes, it's been a wonderfully relaxing four days, and I love spending time with Jennie. But of course, I can't wait to get home, either. : ) I miss my family, and my kid. And all of my kids. And, possibly, the weather. Although I take that back if it snows this week. <.g>

See you from Illinois!!

I'm leaving for Texas bright and early Saturday morning. I'm nervous. But not half as much as I was before Biz talking me through things to expect. Because, yes. Like, almost panic attack feelings for awhile there. Jennie, this is how much I love you. <.g>

Things are going well. Josh had more tests done. Results will be back next week, but things look good. That's a relief.

I have tickets to see JC in Chicago on May 7. I cannot WAIT to see him live. Does anyone want to come with me?

I've been falling behind here. I think about posting almost every night, but I have nothing I want to talk about. How boring am I.

5/7 grad schools have weighed in - 4 say nay, one waitlisted me.

I love my job. Even when I don't exactly. <.g> But overall, it suits me well.

I'm making a Rainy Day mix CD. It was rainy and dreary today, but still kinda fun. So that's my CD theme. LOL I had JC's Build My World stuck in my head all day, so that's my cornerstone. It's sad, a little, but hopeful. I think. <.g> So we'll see what comes of this.

Where'd my time go? I need to pack tomorrow, leave at 5:30am Saturday. Eeeep. What was I thinking? LOL And I have to make Jennie do the same on Wednesday to come home, because my flight then is at 7:50am. Nothing like feeling bottled in by a schedule.

This is making me tired just thinking about it. LOL

Lady K fixed me. : ) She's so smart and wonderful, and yay! Because now that I don't have to worry about the blog, I get to worry about Josh.

So, last year near the end of February, Josh's right knee dislocated severely enough and soon enough after the last time that we scheduled him for reconstructive surgery on March 17 and when we went to the Dells, his knee was immobilized.

Today, Josh's right knee, the one fixed last year, subluxed. Basically, it dislocated and went back in. We think that he hurt it a few weeks ago at bowling, as it's been periodically sore since then.

Now, he is in pain and his knee will be immobilized for the next two weeks (including this weekend at the Dells). If it doesn't heal itself with the immobilization and less pressure, he needs more surgery.

Mom's devastated. And in a bit of denial. I thought I was doing okay until I almost started crying when I told the teacher I work with. Josh can't go outside. He can't ride his horse or bowl. He can't go up the stairs to his bedroom. He can't eat at the kitchen table. He's stuck in the lower level and guest bedroom for at least two weeks. Mom is stuck with him.

I'm so upset. My baby boy. : ( I'm so worried.

Um. Is this thing on? I'm not seeing a blog at my blog anymore.

eta: And now I see blog, but no sidebars. Eeeep.

eata: And then I made that edit, and refreshed, and it went away! Does it only work on odd posts? Odd as in first, third, fifth time I post it. <.g>

This is making me sad. I don't even know where to ask to fix it, mt or s-d. I e-mailed Krissy. Lady K, please save me!

Dude, that's only a month away. LOL! I won't complain. <.g>

I went to Oak Park with Karey this weekend, did the Frank Lloyd Wright tour. I loved his house!! I want the living room/fireplace area when I grow up, I swear. <.g> So fun. It was really interesting, too, so I had a blast.

Still waiting on grad schools. I try not to think about it often, or worry, but sometimes it creeps in. I can imagine my life going in so many directions come fall, but I have no idea what's even close to a real possiblity. (I'm willing to add in the above scenario, however. LOL!) I don't like surprises, but that's basically what all this applying and waiting boils down to. Surprise! You're in. Surprise! You're not. Whoo.

I really, really want a pair of pink converse Chucks. A really really lot.

My goal is to do some writing tonight. I miss writing. I used to do little ficlets all the time, just random cute little scenes, but I haven't done any since I moved home. I miss them. I miss that part of my life. If I do end up going to school near here and living at home, I need to work to build that back in.
