i cant even believe its almost the end of the month. my birthday's coming up, a step closer to 30. i'd like to do a year in review for oh eight, but i dont know if time will permit. im at work. yes, charting and meds have been passed. i will not slack anymore. especially after the two events that have taken place within the past 48hrs. no sir.
(1.)let me just start by saying that my ninong/godfather passed away this morning. i was quickly brought to tears when my dad called me, and for a second i was back on the boat in the waters of cebu during the summer of '06, crying the same tears, but for my other ninong. that summer i was able to jump in the water, swim in salt waters, have everything wash away. but now, its too cold, im alone in my apt. i took a walk to 16th street to check on my dads truck. the air was fresh, and the sun was shining. i know he's now in a good place.
and (2.) yesterday i woke up around 10am to see my dads truck park crooked in the street, knowing damn well that i parked that ish straight the night before. upon further investigation...there was a license plate on the windshield and a bumper laying on the ground, glass and tiny plastic pieces scattered all around "the scene." i didnt call the cops, i'll probably file a hit and run this week if thats what dad wants. ociffer friendly says i have 7 days to file a charge. no damage was done to the truck, although our bumper is slanting a bit, iduno if its from a previous accident, or what. boo.
so please lord i cant take another event this week. i bought a george foreman grill the other day. kinda makes my apt feel like home 'cause i can actually eat a meal that will make me full as opposed to being full off meals that ive stocked up on of leftovers from the parentals place and just nuking them in the microwave. i still have hella things to organize, clothes to put away, papers to shred, pictures to put away. and then i think, what?? you want another job? you dont even have time to fix your apartment! it'll be a year in april. yes, thats coming up quick, and my place still kinda looks the same way it did when i moved in. empty.
i spent 5 days in FL with s. it was a much needed and restful mini vacay. the 5th day was a gift from mother nature. the windchill and chicago blizzard shut down all flights into the 606. florida living is very laid back. at least the parts that ive been to when ive gone down to visit s. I havent been to miami or south beach yet, but i hear its like comparing day and night. it was rough leaving 70-80 degree weather, and leaving him, and coming home to below zero weather and an empty place. i ended up sleeping over in GCT for the first couple days. but alas, i will make my apt a living space, and i will enjoy it and be proud that im able to do what i do without help from anyone (well, sometimes, but i pay mom back! haha), and i wont, i will not run back home to ma and pa. i wont do it.
so things have been alright. im working out 2-3x a week. i wanted to start training for the shamrock this week, but i think i'll start next week. i have a whole bunch of calls to make, and appts to knock out. nothing huge just like the annual check-ups, lady doc, dentist, and eye doc. im just feeling rather blah with news about my ninong. but, life goes on and we have to keep trucking. there are baby showers, engagement parties, and birthday parties for the kiddies on the horizon. and OBAMARAMA is definitely in full effect. tomorrow is the official swearing in. hope is alive and kicking.
