the way things are.

Yesturady was so bad it was funny.My day started the way most bad days do with me only getting a few hours of sleep. Then I checked the answering machine to discover half a dozen messages from my brothers girlfriend... first informing me they had been stopped by the cops for speeding, then another saying they were caught with pot, and then a third and forth letting me know she had bailed them out of the clink and I should call her as soon as possible. The last few were from one of thier friends letting me know her cell phone had died and I should send money. In the end I was only willing to send money to get thier dog out of the pound which turned out to be unneeded. I did call to give him his lawyers number and I called mom who was releaved to hear he wasn't dead (do other peoples parents think this way?) so the brother stuff... i can't do much about it so i try not to let it get to me.
Then, as i was sitting at my desk looking out the window part of the neibors tree falls on her house with a terrific crash. it is the same tree that partially hangs over my house and i've been asking her to have cut down.
Then, my mom calls to let me know my granny is very ill and in the emergency room. i'm not happy about granny being sick and i hate hospitals. hate them! (sorry moseface) i went and spent some time with granny in the er. looks like they are going to keep her there for a while. if things are grim i'm a big supporter of hospice instead of er, but maybe it isn't time yet.
The day ends the same way it began... my brothers girlfriend calling paniced. this time she wants me to come get my brother and bring him home. i tried calling back a few times, but i guess her line is dead. not much i can do from here.

so today is a new day. the sun is up. i'm planning on going to the gym and then to see my grandmother. i might trying calling my brother again... it is all i can do to put one foot in front of the other.

i know this pails in comparison... i still can't get the other ladies working on me wtih the art shows to cooperate. they keep saying they are too busy... or just not picking up the phone. that makes me very unhappy. i'm busy too. i have lots of stuff going on. it is no excuse to flake.
