Happy Holidays

[Saving Jay]

Happy Holidays, you Broken Winterettes.

Anyone get anything special? Anyone have a sucky time (I hope not)? Fun stories about accidently giving the spiked Egg Nog to little children while your Grandma made a perfect Santa?

I celebrate Christmas Eve with my Mom, where probably I'll have to go to church with her (it's okay, though, it's UCC), then have a nice dinner and exchange gifts, and Christmas Day with my Dad. I did receive two early XMas presents--one from a friend who gave me a beautiful stock pin for my collar as it looks like I'll begin showing horses again, and another from my Dad who took me to see Groovaloo (hip hop dance group with an insanely hot B-Boy).

Best wishes,
Jay

I know this is very late, but I didn't have the greatest holiday. It seemed to be going alright until about around Christmas Day, when I went to visit my grandma and found her lying on the floor.

Yeah...

Thankfully I got to her in time; she was suffering from very low blood sugar (she's diabetic.) Everything seemed to be going okay after that until my aunt received a call from the doctor. Apparently grandma's kidneys were failing and she had weeks to live.

Yeah...

Well, the good news is that she's still with us, making it nearly a month since the incident. Let's just say she has a very annoying tendency to scare the living shit out of us and manage to come back for the most part. Right now she's in a nursing home and I have no idea what the rest of my family is planning on doing, though there was talk about having her placed in an assisted living facility. After the incident at Christmas, I have to agree with them. I'd rather not see her go to a nursing home until the end of her life... The place she's at really bothers me...

Other than that, I finished up my second week of school today. Which sucks because after all this, it hardly feels like I ever had a chance to properly relax...
