another nasty week, I guess
Right. So it was very very hot all week at work, and that sucked the life out of me.
Mom - remember the infection that I probably mentioned in her jaw/neck? - Mom went into the hospital on Tuesday. They're taking a second CT tomorrow morning, and if the infection site hasn't improved any, they're probably going to operate to drain it.
And I have the doctor's appointment for my spots at a quarter 'til 4. After I get out of there, I'm going to go to the hosptial to visit mom - if I can figure out how the hell to get to the blasted MCO campus, that is. I might end up having to go over and take 75 up. Which, granted that I'll be in the van (better gas milage - and hey, I'll have a radio) won't be as much of a hassle as it currently would be to be in my car.
Evidently, I'm just having a craptacular month of June. Can't you just hardly wait to see what happens next?
I sound like a pessimist. That's ok, I feel like a pessimist just now.
As for all the stuff I've already mentioned in prior entries that's making my month suck-tastic... well, I'm just lacking the energy to bother writing about it right now - there's not that much new to say about it, after all.
I guess you can just take it to be as good as stated that nothing's really changed.
I might bore you all with whining about that stuff later on, in the next entry I make (whenever that entry be made).
I'm just... tired now. And listless, and oddly half-restless. I don't really feel like going to the doctor's. And while I want to go and visit mom, I'm not really looking forward to the drive all the way up to MCO.
Maybe I'll stop off afterwards and scout one of two possible farther-away-than-usual (for me) hangout spots. Or go buy some books or something. I've ripped through books lately, when I let myself sit down to read. Either it's that I missed reading, or it's that I'm remembering how good it is to use reading as my method of escapeism.
And maybe part of it is that I've started rereading the Dark Tower. I'm considering making Roland my role model again for a little while. See if I can (again, I've done it before although not for a good long while) get back in the habit of taking unexpected events merely with a shrug, and the understanding "Ka".
I always used to tell myself that I have deep steel. It's just... hidden in most circumstances. Like how (especially right at first) it's something you almost have to go looking for in Eddie.
I'm now babbling on about what I'm reading, as a clever different way of babbling on about what I'm feeling.
