The Good: Got a check for $25 from my brother, as well as a card from my stepmom, both a nice surprise. Plus, for the first time in several years, I was able to display my kitty nativity set. Unfortunately, I can no longer find the company that made it online. A company with a similar name hasn't been in business long enough for it to be the maker of my set, and the only other one was more like someone's personal page. Oh, and my friend who took care of Tripod gave me a big gift basket she put together herself--all that's left of the goodies is a dill dip set and a bottle of sparkling red grape juice.
The Bad: Injured my left big toe a couple weeks ago, and it's taking its sweet time healing. Then my hips started to gang up on me. Started taking glucosamine/chondroitin from Trader Joe's. I bought a 10 pound ham for Christmas and heated it, hoping it would get eaten, but here it is three days after Christmas, and it's barely half eaten. My roomies get all excited about my doing something like this, and then hardly eat any of it. Yeah, I know they went to see theire families, but come on!
The Ugly: One of my roommates tried to kill herself with booze and pills, but ralphed it up all over herself and her bed--thankfully I was out of the house at the time. I last saw her on Sunday, when she said she wanted to go to Laguna Beach to help a friend shovel mud from her house, etc. from mudslides. Today her newest boyfriend came to the door, saying he hasn't heard from her, and that she might make another try. A couple of my roomies said they tried to call her to let her know they had a gift and card for her--it's her birthday today--but the call went straight to voicemail.
This does not look good. He said he was going to check the hospitals.
