Still alive!

Hi, all!

I just wanted to do a quick post and let you all know what's happening.  My dad is out of ICU but is not doing well.  My sister is with him now, but I will be flying down to take her place in a few weeks so she can get her flat and classes sorted out before flying back to England. 

Apparently my aunts, my father's sisters, are being total bitches about the whole thing, won't even let us stay with them.  And in order not to upset my dad even more we can't say anything, so even though I want to just yell and scream and totally give them what for, I'm going to have to bite my tongue and be a dutiful and good daughter and just have a few pillows close at hand to punch. 

My brother, who has had a bad relationship with my dad for several years, has not even spoken to him or that side of the family.  Things are just falling down around me and, honestly, I feel like I'm about to shake apart I'm so tired and stressed.

The only good thing is that my classes are wonderful and I love my professors, although there is a lot of homework to do.  All of them have been very understanding about me having to take a few days off and are working with me on getting my assignments in.  Also, the 7 Straight Nights candlelight vigil is still planned, and I have a few more people who will be attending.  No speakers, but at this point I really just want it to be done with it  and hope it doesn't turn out too bad. 

So, yeah, that's my life right now.  Oh, one other thing in the good category is that I paid off my car and now own it.  Yay, me!  If anyone asks, I'll be in that corner over here, trying to burry my head in the sand.  Take care, everyone, especially those of you in the path of Ike.
