Ok, I lied

I didn’t get to update the blog last night. Instead I drank some wine and caught up on some Tivo’d shows. Sue me:P Tonight, I’m off to the wake. I should be home by midnight but I’ll probably crawl into bed as soon as I get in. My plans for tomorrow include being in front of my machine all day so you’ll probably get an update then. And in update-related news, the bruises on my thighs are *still* trying to fade. The one on my belly is all but gone and the one on my breast is totally gone except for under the biopsy scar. Maybe Daddy will send me the photos from last Monday so I can post them with the update tomorrow.

The other shoe

Yesterday, my other great-aunt passed away. We’ll be attending the wake tomorrow. I think I’m going to skip the funeral on Wednesday. It’s just too much, too soon.

I’ll write about other stuff (not just death) later tonight. And I have to try to get some work done.

Just thought you’d want to know why I look this way again.

Change in plans

My great-aunt passed away yesterday morning. I’m sad for me and my family but it’s what she wanted and she’s no longer suffering so I’m happy for her.

The wake is being held Wednesday and Thursday so I won’t be going to Rapture and probably won’t make it to the TES BoD meeting.

She was the last of my grandmother’s siblings. Now, only two in-laws remain from that generation and one of them is slowly losing her cancer battle in a NYC hospital as I type. I know I’ve said this before, but this is the hardest part of having a large family - more people to love, more people to loose.

This week’s schedule

I have another busy week ahead of me. Here are the highlights…

  • Today, going to see Flagg with Daddy before heading into work at Rapture.
  • Monday, have two web design meetings. Hopefully they will become clients soon.
  • Tuesday, need to write up Prometheus committee report, do my bills, get cat food and other errands.
  • Wednesday, going into Rapture at noon for a double shift.
  • Thursday, working at Rapture from 12 to 7 then going to the TES Board of Directors meeting at Purple Passion from 8 to 11.
  • Friday, Daddy is driving Kimi and me to North Carolina so we can attend NiCE. We’ll be there all weekend, returning on Monday, 11/11/06.

All Hallows Eve & All Saints Day

Yesterday, my mom asked me to stay home and help her with the dogs while she gave out candy to the neighborhood kids. We had about 30 trick-or-treaters from 4:30pm to 8:30pm. Around 9:45pm, we shut off the lights and broke into the candy. Yum!

Today, my killer headache still didn’t let up - it’s going on three days now - so my dad brought me some pizza for lunch. He’s such a nice guy! How he wound up with my mother … just kidding! (mostly)

Tonight, I did some laundry and answered some long-overdue emails. If I didn’t get back to you yet, I’m sorry and I will, just please be patient a little longer. I’m off to Rapture tomorrow and wont be home again until Saturday. 

Speaking of the weekend, does anyone want to go to SlaveToLust in Brooklyn on Saturday night? I’m hoping to go with the family and maybe drum up some clients. Wish me luck! :)
