Earlier in the week, mom figured that we weren't going to go to Calgary since the weather is pretty poor at best. This suited me just fine. Kyle's a big boy after all, he can go visit the doctor without having to have mom and me hover over his shoulder. But no. She's going to endure the long trip there (against my wishes in several ways) and we might even have to stay overnight if the weather turns bad.

That is unacceptable in my eyes. For most reasons that she SHOULDN'T be travelling! Doesn't anyone but me realize the gravity of the situation? Mom, you're recovering, you shouldn't BE in a vehicle! But no. She wants to go there and then we'll probably go to Susan's where Kyle's stays and UGH it's a round trip of more than five hours. D:

I should be trying to reason her out of this anyhow. I mean, it's her back. That's a LOT of sitting altogether. 2 hours there, 1/2 to an hour fighting traffic. Wait time of 30-40 minutes for Kyle to get into his appointment with Dr. Latigan. Back another hour to fight across town. Drop him off, mom'll probably want to visit too if Susan's there. Best case scenario if she isn't then we fight across town for another 30 min to another hour, and take a two hour trip back home.

Yeah. Doesn't anyone else but me see this is such a BAD IDEA?

EDIT: Bad idea resolved. I called Kyle asking if he was already planning to come home and he said yes, so collectively talked mom out of coming to Calgary.

Gogo power of brotherly effort.

Before I even think of sitting down and playing a video game, I need to vacuum the house. It's kind of dusty and I also should do some spot cleaning for the floor since I see spots everywhere. Done and Done. Woo.

Grandma's taken over the cooking which is a double edged sword in it's own right. On one hand, it's not BAD food, but at the same time, she has a penchant for way too much oil, onion and garlic. Talk about missing the point to eating healthy.

I didn't get a chance to read The Lost Hero again yesterday, too tired to do so. I'm tired today too, but at least I have a steady stream of coffee right now.

Need to pick up the truck from Fastlane Ford. Hopefully Kyle'll pop into the house before work time, so I can go get him to bring me to pick it up.

I need to decide which game I'm gonna focus on, WoW for holiday junk and meta achieves, Cross Edge or Atelier Rorona.

Also, found a direction for Ed. He's open an Atelier in T9, and it's a workshop to make little things here and there to big things. He'll probably leave clothing and blacksmithing to the actual professionals.

Fever broke so I'm on my feet again.

Too cold to go out for a walk though. Or out with people.

I did manage to clear a few bosses in BBS that were giving me trouble when I was sick.

You know what's the worst part of the headache? It's not the pain, it's the CONSTANT earworm of a song that always accompanies it. Today I had AGLET stuck in my head for about three hours of pain, over and over. A-G-L-E-T don't forget it o/`

Almost enough to make someone explode into a frenzy of HATE.

So, I need to turn down the graphics on my wow.

Mom's sick again. Sigh, this means I'm gonna wind up taking care of the house again for a while.

So today I woke up with a sore throat. Hopefully it'll migate soon but my throat feels like sandpaper right now. Drank some OJ so hopefully that'll help.

Day started off good too. Got up, got my instances done AND to boot, picked up the Quel'Delar blade for my paladin. I am very happy about that. But then on the downside, I found out my car battery exploded and no amount of boosting'll help it out later on.

Also, I feel horrible right now for not one but two boosts (don't ask), and I need to throw the garbage but I feel like shit right now.

So uh yeah, wtb a Warm Place.

I hope I don't catch anything, but she sounds horrible. Raspy voice, cough, etc. I highly doubt it's serious or life-threatening, but I'm waiting hand and foot on her today starting last night. She almost went to the hospital last night BUT decided against it. Missed a Zerg 3D Sarth for that. But I'm glad she's all right right now.

Hopefully my immmune system'll work. I've been drinking a lot of water and OJ, taking my regular meds...

The only sniffles and cough I have is from a little bit of hay fever from when we worked outside. Always takes about four days for that to sorte out afterwards.

On my To Watch List today: the rest of StrikerS, more Medabots more power, and see about getting that torrent of To Majica worked out. Along with that, If All Else Fails needs to be torrented too and iconed the hell out of probably. It's been a while since I've made a truly epic set of Ben 10 AF icons.

Can't play WoW while watching though. Lags the video during load screens and lag spikes.

Mmm coffee good. When did I start drinking this again? Oh right: when I started to work long shifts in the Hospital. Which is moot now but still.
