It’s unfortunate

Going into my vacation this weekend, there was a preexisting feeling of sadness. This past week I found out that my grandfather has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. He’s going through testing, procedures and many other things that one couldn’t imagine. It’s hard when things like this happen. I lost my grandmother to breast cancer about 12 years ago (fathers mother), my other grandmother (mothers mother) has gone through extensive surgeries on her legs, to the point that the doctor nicked a nerve and that’s a long going lawsuit fallen upon a woman who can barely walk. My mother has been through a triple bypass surgery, my father has come home with so many staples in his head from work-related accidents that it’s just unreal – even this past weekend he’d torn some shin muscle making it hard for him to walk around the casino. It’s just a whole series of events that I can’t seem to piece together.

I’ve been very sick for the last couple of days and part of me wonders if stress played a factor in this. I come home after losing money to find that Bella is hurt, I was already exhausted and depressed because of it so now it’s just a series of crap all piling up on top of each other. Tonight I hobbled myself into Wal-mart so I could buy some replacement shades for the ones Bella has damaged over the last couple of weeks. She likes sitting in the window and has proven (three times over) that she’ll do anything to get up there. I probably should take a picture of the damage she did to the rug while we were gone as well.

However, I realized today that wasn’t entirely her fault. A few weeks ago Baby seemed to be on a mission to find something and decided to cut a section of the rug to look underneath (I don’t know why, I also refused to ask). That strip happened to be right outside the bedroom door which made it easy for her to pull the rug back. Because of the she was able to easily destroy it. So right now the blame is basically on the two of them. Either way she’s no longer limping and he still won’t take any blame what-so-ever for the fact that I’m extremely ill.

I’m working on linking Thunderbird from my external hard drive, this way I can run the same email off both the desktop and the laptop. I’m sick of sitting in the office listening to Halo3 Beta gunshots and him yammering into the microphone with people he doesn’t even know…heh. I never understood the gaming world, oh well.

Off I go.
