been a busy week...and its only Tuesday!
Sunday around 4 AM, my step-father's father passed away. I've known him my entire life and was considered (along with my older sister) a semi-grandchild. the family is odd that they view biology as more important for family. yet the obituary mentions 7 grandchildren.....my step-father has 1 biological daughter, his sister has 2 children and his brother has 2 children. guess my older sister and I were counted.
got up around 9 AM (after falling back asleep) and no one is around. clean up the house some....mop kitchen and bathroom floors (Swiffer Wetjet....clean and disinfect). do some laundry dishes and such....and my Mom calls. my sister is in the hospital.
so spend Sunday there, find out she needs her gallbladder removed. that happens Sunday night.
and I get to work 8 hours overnight.
Monday, my younger sister is flying in from North Carolina, and her flight from Newark, NJ to Rochester, NY is cancelled due to weather. she is given the choice of staying overnight or flying into Buffalo....so my step-father has to drive to Buffalo around 10:30 PM to pick her up.
my older sister got released. she has a tube sticking out of her. its nasty....and its seeping or something. she's sore and slowly moving. and will have to change her diet (bye bye french fries covered in cheese with gravy on the side!)
and I get another 8 hours of overnight.
now its Tuesday, I've slept for a few hours and I'm getting ready for the Memorial Service tonight. the floral manager where I work came in a 1/2 hour early to do a nice floral arrangement from the Grandchildren, using fresh flowers (today is delivery day).
Wednesday is a grave-side service (step-father's parents were both cremated) and I get to work 5 1/2 hours and my younger sister flies out.
Thursday....fuck it, I'm doing nothing!
Friday I work at 6 AM for 4 hours, do shopping afterwards, and then I'm going to my cousin's comic book store and playing Heroclix.
and Saturday.....I'm being anti-social!
yup....what a week, huh? might be around Friday night or possibly Wednesday if anyone is in chat. could be a good distraction. also Saturday is an option.
and to all my Pagan friend out there...what's a good Pagan holiday response to someone telling me "Merry Christmas" and such? yes, I'm Christian..but I really want to throw some customers off a little!
oh, and a new manager where I work...he's 3 feet tall (dwarf) and so far seems to do more work than the other 3 STL's I work with. how sad is that? he pushes more carts and handles more work than someone who's over 6 feet tall.
and how is your week going?
EDIT:
and my sister just went back to the hospital...she's cold and clammy and throwing up. honestly...this week needs to end!
