The winter weather definitely cranked itself up to high gear during the early morning. I woke up in a flash but I did not have a nightmare spreading through my mind. The telephone was ringing. I did not bother to answer. What time was it anyway? It felt like 2:30 am, the time of day where I get up from my bed and drink a good amount of ice tea from it’s bottle in the fridge, maybe even orange juice from the carton if it is present. The answering machine caught the message. It was a robot. Newburgh school district is closed for the day due to the weather. I smiled in the dark and rested my head back into bed. It was actually 5:30 in the morning and I still found myself wanting to dream again. I woke up around eight and I could not get myself back to sleep. I enter my living room where I find my mother and brothers. They tell me some strange news. I can’t believe it. My dad is always careful, but I know that some people are not. My dad got into a mini accident today coming home from work. My dad avoided the collision but ended up spinning and hit a guard rail. I was glad it was nothing really bad, but when my dad came home he told me that he was afraid that he was going to die. When he hit the rail, he was afraid that it was going to give in and he would have gone tumbling down the edge of the highway. Not to mention a truck was coming his way. I hugged him and told him it was alright. He knew that. I helped out my dad by shoveling the walkway and stairs that lead to the front door while he used the snow blower to clean out the driveway. This was one of the first times that I actually gave this whole shoveling thing a try. I actually did a good job, surprisingly since that I have the arms of a twig. We then spent the rest of our family time together before my mom drove off to work by watching movies. I love my family and we are always here for each other. I am glad that I am choosing to spend more time with them. I got more vintage jewelry thanks to the wonderful people over at my mom’s hospital. I never ask for it but it seems like almost every week my mom comes come with more. There is this one women who is around 70. Her name is Harlen. She started experimenting with drugs at a young age and before you knew it she was fucked up really bad. Her mother abandoned her and then her boyfriend did as well, leaving her with a child. A girl. Harlen gave up her baby, knowing that it was unsafe to have it in her hands. At an old age, stuck inside a nursing home for the rest of her life, she has battled over three different types of cancer and diabetes. This women is one of then nicest people I have ever had a lifetime to meet. She is very close with my mother, like most of the other seniors at the hospital. She asked my mother to help her out find her daughter that she had given up. She lives in my city. I did my best and I believe that I have located her. I am praying that it is. Dreaming can get you sick in the head no matter how interesting it may be. What you want does not ever come into reality without you doing something about it. Stop complaining and go fucking do something about it. Christmas is in about two weeks. The weather is so fucked up today. My brothers came in saying that it almost thunder storming out and hail started to fall from the sky. There is a chance that school might be delayed or closed yet again tomorrow morning. I am beginning my Christmas shopping on Saturday. I am only giving gifts out to family and a couple of friends. I love wrapping and putting together the presents and seeing the reaction of whosesoever it is, especially my boyfriend's. Our first Christmas together was last year. I bought him Nikes. His reaction was probably the best. He started smiling like crazy and he did not even open the shoe box to take a look at what the sneakers looked like. He literally jumped on me and attacked me with kisses. I am pretty sure he will react the same at this years gifts. He just loves wild things. The movie atonement is beautiful. I have not watched it in a couple of months but HBO has read my mind. It is currently playing on my television. Robby had just finished writing that letter that fucked up everything and that leaves me crying and angry at the end of the movie every single time. If you have not seen this movie go out and go watch it. I have over a hundred photographs left to rot inside of my camera. I have no been able to upload or edit any of them thanks to my laptop that best buy has yet to fix again. Hopefully its time is done and I may be able to pick up myself a new one. I am a PC at heart but I am craving for the new 15” inch macbook pro. I have spent the little bittie minutes of nothing on playing amateur surgeon the holiday edition on my ipod. I plan on baking up a storm filled with cookies, brownies, and not to mention cupcakes with green and red dots on the inside for my aunts holiday party in a few weeks. I have not yet found the perfect dress for the occasion. I hope that turns out on a positive note. The universe is turning and has its ways of not going my way but it turns and turns and so far lately has ended up good on my side of the table. My brain feels light and no longer heavy. A hot shower is calling my name and after maybe a few episodes of CSI or curb your enthusiasm. I need to find my burts bees or else I might not be able to deal with these chapped lips anymore. I have completed blabbing on about nothing for about 3 pages on text that in the end nobody will enjoy to read except myself later on in life. Peace out scoutssssss. |
