Various Things Of Import

Dearest My Peeps,
It's been a little while since I've been by. Not a whole awful lot has happened since then, but at the same time, it's been craziness.

To start with, I'm working approximately 40 hours a week, give or take a few here and there. That's more than enough to be considered steady. Then the 23rd, 24th and 25th, I went to Grand Manan for my sister's bridal shower. It was very nice & I was definately stoked to get to the ocean, but it was still great to come home again. I think that might be the very best part about travelling. The fact that you get to come home again.

Then yesterday afternoon the most wonderful thing in the whole world happened. My father had another mini-stroke. I mean, YAY! *doing a little dance*

... ... ... ... ... ... ...

If you didn't catch the strong sense of sarcasm, well, let's just say I'm not best pleased about that fact. He is not ALLOWED to be sick. NOT ALLOWED! *jabbing that bear with all my might* MY DADDY! NO SICKY! MINE MINE MINE!

He is mostly alright though. He's in the hospital for a few days. They want to run some tests to see if there're blood clots or anything. I sure hope they can figure out what's wrong at last. It has been awhile though, so that's saying something. They are going to change up his medications some. Maybe that'll help too?

On a much more positive note (no sarcasm at all this time) I'm going to Fredricton to spend time with my Douglas this weekend. I'm off Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Sunday evening I get to spend time with Pat, watching Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. I'm incredibly excited I might add. I mean, yeah, I've been looking forward to the movie ever since I saw the first one, but that's entirely beside the point. I could see that here, or even wait till the DVD if I had to. The movie is just a little extra gravy is all. Or maybe it means that I have my cake, and get to eat it too, icening and all? Anyhow, I'm super stoked about hanging out with Pat. It's going to be a splendiferious evening, I quite assure you all.

Anyhow, that's just about it. Daddy's out a lisence for the time being because of the mini-stroke and I'm going to Fredricton to hang out with my brother and totally awesome friend. I think it just about balances out in the end. I mean I know Daddy should be fine & I know that I'm going to have a super weekend, so yeah. Life goes on, much as it has this past age. (I dunno if that's from Frodo, Bilbo or Gandalf. It's a Lord of the Rings movie quote anyway.)

Have an awesome night/day/time till I type to the world of make-believe again. Cheers!
