Things…I think…I don’t know…It’s an Update

Some really random and scattered things and thoughts…

Firstly…something kind of scary. I know I mentioned my Mum went to a New Year’s Eve party with a friend from work. The hostess of said party hadn’t been feeling very well for a few days, all the diffrent icks going on around this time of year. Well the day after, or the day after that, I’m not 100% sure, I guess she was sitting in the kitchen and just was completely zoned out and non-responsive. Well her daughter told her they were going to go get pizza…no response. The daughter went, came back, her mother was still same place, not responding to anything. Then all of a sudden she got up, went to her room, sat down on her bed, and wet herself…still more or less blanked out. They called the ambulance to come get her, and gave her a clean pair of pants. She attempted to put them on her head. They finaly got her redressed, and the ambulance got there. Well she sort of snapped out of it a bit, and faught tooth and nail not to get put in the ambulance, they had to strap her down.

Well she zoned back out again for the most part. Every so often she’d come around, and try to leave the hospital. They were running all kinds of tests, everything was coming back normal. No one knew what was going on, and she had everyone quite worried. Well they did finaly find out what was wrong, and though she’s still not 100% better, they do think she is getting there. Though they do have to keep her sedated, and/or strapped down, as she snapped out of it once, and started pulling her iv’s out, insisting she was going home.

The problem: Where she had been sick prior to the New Year’s Eve party, she couldn’t keep anything down, so she hadn’t been eating or drinking anything…Yet…she still decided to celebrate New Year’s in the time honoured tradition of drinking something alcoholic. Well the combination of dehydration (from not drinking anything previously), malnutrition (from not being able to eat and keep anything down), and…Alcohol Poisoning!

Kind of a whole lot of scary…I would of never thought that all that mixed together would have that kind of effect. *shudders*

——————————————————————-

I got a letter today from a friend from high school…I send her a Christmas card every year. We use to send a few letters back and forth throughout the year…but then it dwindled down the the Christmas card…Last year I don’t think I got a card though…She’s gone through some really rough stuff the last few years…I don’t really know the details, just that it’s been rough on her. *sigh* It’s sad because she was always so vibrant, and outgoing. She was a major Madonna fan, always dancing, and was always healthy and exercising. When I was pregnant with Dominic, she kept after me to eat better. Most everyone in our group of friends tended to come to me with their problems…She was the one who helped me when I had mine for the most part.

I use to always wear one eagle earing, as the hole on the other ear kept closing. She was the only one to take notice of this, and dubbed me her ‘Fly Away Friend’. It was really the first time I had a sort of connection like that. It meant a lot to me then…and still does now (as I still sign my cards/letter ‘Your Fly Away Friend Forever’.

Anyway…she says in her letter that she hasn’t written to anyone in years…She didn’t even have any paper to really write on (hasn’t even owned a writing tablet in years), the second part of her letter was written on one of the backs of her daughter’s school work.

She says she’s really way behind in life, and that she doesn’t have any friends…besides me.
It just hurts so much to read her letter…I wish I could do something for her, but I have no idea what. I always say all my friends are in the box on my desk…and yeah, most of the people I associate with are online. But I do have Libby in the summer to walk with…and Grimmie calls on occasion…Raya called me the other night…Jack still calls once in a while. And here is Jamie, my Jamie Sue, who has always been so…sociable…and she has…no one (well aside from Aaron-who I’m not sure if it’s boyfriend or husband or what- and 3 children). It’s just…*sigh*…It’s not right.

Now…something to lighten the mood…I hope. *weak laugh* I got a catalog with shirts with sayings on them. I’m sure you all know what I’m talking about…Well, I thought I’d share some of my favourites.

1) I’m Really Easy To Get Along With Once You Learn To WORSHIP ME (This one is for Raya…The New Dark Lord)

2) Think I’m Sarcastic? Watch me pretend to care

3) No, no, it’s ok. I’m interrupted by morons all the time

4) Good friends don’t let you do stupid things…alone (Why does this remind me of Raven and Raya? *laughs*)

5) I Haven’t Lost My Mind. I’ve Temportarily Misplaced It. (and the word misplaced is written in upsidedown.)

6) I use to have a lot of friends. Until my therapist and medication took them away.

7)…This one just made me think of Raya…1) because it’s pink, and 2) it mentions the south…
(in big letters) A.S.A.P. (and underneath it) As Southern As Possible

Let’s see…Not much else going on. The teeth are returning to momentairy normalness…although the bottoms still hurt, and I about killed myself trying to brush them tonight.

*feels odd* I’ve been feeling quite…Optomistic about things of late…It’s…odd, at least for me. And despite a few odds and ends…I’ve felt pretty good for the 5 (now 6) days of this new year. I mean…New Year’s Eve, I was still feeling crappy about everything, about being here, just me and the kids…and of course my loverly rat…Who shared my new years drink from my glass. *laughs* Though he is in Ratskaban (I swear I didn’t name it…I believe it was the girl who called it that first. *laughs*) right now…for attempting to escape from my lap/shoulders/etc. while I was at the computer.
