Fun Times.

So both my sisters went into surgery today. I spent the night alone in Newnan as to let Mama, Mike, Shelby, and Steve head off to Anniston so they wouldn't have to get up at 3 AM just to be in Anniston on time. So after being bored for a while, I went to bed. I overslept and didn't get back to town until 12:30 this afternoon.

Both of my sisters' surgeries went well... my little sister is sleeping in her hospital room and will be released on Saturday. I still don't know if my older sister is out of recovery, but they have her in ICU for the night.

I got to talk to my uncle (Mama's older brother) for the first time in a long time this evening, which was nice... although I got scolded for forgetting to email. I guess I oughta start jumping back into the family email frays that start every now and again. I used to get involved in them, but they got heated quickly... I love having a mother who is a Democrat while her brother is Republican. Always fun!

Daddy's been asleep since sometime after 4:00 this afternoon, as the nerves in his leg were giving him hell. He told me he was going to lay down for only ten minutes, but it turned into nearly three hours. Just as long as he's not hurting, it doesn't matter.

[Incoming random rant alert!]

Y'know what bothers me? When people end a conversation without saying goodbye. I dunno why, but that gives me a strong case of annoyance and a mild case of being ticked off. I tend to know people who are notorious for just ending a conversation by disappearing or hanging up, and sometimes I just wanna bash 'em on the head with a mallet. Would it really kill somebody to take an extra few seconds to say "bye," or "see you later" or something to that effect? Damn! If I were to do that, I'd get accused of being angry at somebody. Maybe I should start using that argument and accuse people who do that to me of being mad at me. Maybe I should get uber whiny and annoying about it. Or maybe I just shouldn't start conversations with people who can't say goodbye. Too bad one of them is my stepdad... I'd get yelled at for that.

Meh. I wish mallets weren't so hard to come by.

[End of random rant. We now return you to your regularly scheduled entry.]

Hm. Tomorrow I get to deal with the fun people of the CSU Student Accounts office. They want $43 for some stupid reason, and I'm sure they'll find some ways to get under my skin and tick me off. That'll be fun.

So yeah. I'm trying to get rid of a bitter taste in my mouth, while trying to tell myself there are more important things to think about than being upset because people don't say goodbye to me before they leave.

But damnit, I can't stand it!
