that's what my throat feels like. burning, scratching, raw, swollen.

my brother is staying with us til he gets on his feet, and he showed up sick, broke, hungry, jobless, cold. i knew he was coming, i just didn't know he was sick, but it's not like i would've turned him away anyway. i think my dd and i have caught it. i can't catch a baseball to save my life, yet i catch every virus that comes my way these days.

so my son's roommate told him on friday that he and my son's girlfriend have hooked up. when my son got home from work, his roommate and his now ex girlfriend were in roommate's bedroom doing ____________________.

i have another name for him now instead of roommate. and no i'm not just blaming the guy. however, roommate and my son have been friends (supposedly) for years.

what's up with that??? i can't imagine she was worth it.

to his credit, my son has decided, after spending the weekend here, that neither one of them is worth fretting over, if they'd both do that to him then they're not worthy to be his "friend" and "girlfriend" so he's gone back home where he has a pretty good setup and will make the best of it while he can. he has a lease, ya know??? besides, apparently roommate is done with ex girlfriend now anyway.

*repressing strong urge to type endless list of obscene vulgar names in reference to roommate and ex girlfriend*

i have a new hobby - knitting - and it's coming along nicely with the help of a few online friends (thank you netta!!!!!). i've made 2 scarves in the last week and i've started a 3rd. my next project will hopefully be a shawl or poncho, whichever way it works out.

i love it so much i'm trying to imagine a way to make money at this, but i'm really slow, so i don't think it's gonna work out, but it's nice to dream.

drugs are taken and everyone's tucked in, so i guess it's my turn.
