Snowsnowsnow...
It's all white outside. I fell asleep with the window open last night, and the cat woke me up early this morning, all distressed because of the mounds of snow drifting against the screen. It's still coming down like crazy, and blowing all over the place -- I'm debating whether it's worth trying to get to the laundromat, or if I should just wait until next weekend...
I'm very angry about some developments in my mom's health right now, but I'm not sure she'd want me writing about all the gory details here... if she gives me the OK, I'll post an entry about it. For right now, suffice it to say that she really, really needs to get some legal advice, badly.
Yesterday was spent lazing around, and making meatloaf (which turned out lovely in spite of my improvising, since I really didn't have most of the ingredients I wanted -- but hey, you can't go too wrong with meatloaf, can you?) until around 7, when Lee and Patrick and Blue came to pick me up to go to the movies. We saw State and Main, which was hilareous -- I found it funny because I spent my high-school years living in a small Vermont town, just like the one in the movie. The people? They're really like that. There are huge debates over potholes, and traffic lights, and local schools' football teams. There's nothing else to talk about, after all! I liked my town well enough -- I knew everyone, and everyone knew me (hell, after I wrecked my car in a spectacular manner, I was some sort of local celebrity) and it was somehow comforting, the way nothing ever changed. I was happy to move away, though -- it is a very nice place to visit, but I couldn't live there again.
Patrick ended up missing most of the movie -- he got sick shortly after we arrived, possibly because of the strawberry Julius he drank. (I was introduced to the bliss that is Orange Julius, oh my...) I figured out pretty quickly that he wasn't feeling well, but I didn't know it was as bad as it was until after the movie -- for which I feel really bad. And I hope you're better now, Patrick...
