Shock to the System

I think I was probably in a state of shock when I wrote my last post...namely because I don't remember putting it up. I must have wrote it right after I woke up and got the phone call.

I spent Thursday around noon through midnight today with my sister and my mother which was...interesting. Some of you may find this hard to believe, but at home I'm lil miss "Look on the Bright Side" and "laugh in the face of tragedy" gal. Heh. I always forget how hard it is; to turn my negative emotions off and fake it. But you gotta do what you gotta do right?

I feel better because she feels better-well, she's not hiding under her covers any more at least, so I say mission accomplished. She's going to see a specialist some time this week so we'll have some more information on her prognosis and etc.

Haven't told anyone but my boss about this so far...not sure why. Well, that's bull. Haven't said anything because I've never been one to want to be in the spotlight for something negative. That and people stressing over me makes me anxious...heh. I think that comes from my mother's germ vendetta. That probably wasn't the word I was looking for, but let me give an example:

Me: *sneeze*
Mom: O.o Holy sh*t Claire, why aren't you wearing slippers and a robe with your PJs!? You know you're immuno compromised! The flu will kill you!! *sprays thick cloud of Lysol around the house* Here, take some NyQuil, and this Sudafed because I heard you cough for two whole seconds last night. All right, now I'm going to rub some Vicks Vapor rub on your chest. Do you want me to plug in your humidifier?

I wish to god that that was an exaggeration...

Anyway, I'm trying to study for a Spanish 4 exam I have tomorrow which I'm only about 60% prepared for. Dammit. FYI: Present, past, and imperfect subjunctive=evil! Grrr.
