Mom's freaking out.

Dad's knee replacement surgery is on the 24th. I'm going up there from Sunday to Saturday. Once again, I'm spending my vacation time on others instead of myself. I know it's selfish, but damn, I never get a chance to do what I want to do. Vacations are spent with family, and that's never a vacation.

Dad'll be in the hospital for 2-3 days. One of his sisters from California will be visiting as well, so that'll be cool. I haven't seen Celeste in years. I'll hang out with her & Grandma for a day.

One of Mom's sisters is going through chemo. She's going to be all right, but it's one of the many straws on Mom's back.

I'm sick of being strong for everyone else. I just want to chill for a week, you know?

Janeen, I'd honestly love to visit Minnesota again. I have an aunt out there, and a few cousins. I miss Duluth.

Lyman, you went ahead and gave me something to look forward to. Thank you.

What do I want to do on my vacation? Gosh, doesn't anyone pay attention?

HOOKERS AND BLOW!

I hope you dad gets better, Jeff. How long does it take to get back to your hometown?

Jeff said...

Thanks, Lena.

It's usually a 3.5 - 4 hour train ride each way.

It's times like this when I wish I had a laptop. I guess a couple of Absolute (Watchmen, Crisis) books will have to do.

Even worse, I'll be offline for the week. How will I live without the interweb?

Without the interweb?

I know what the individual words mean, but together it makes no sense.

Like "Internet" and "World Wide Web" have some meaningful connotations?
