2005-10-05 - 11:50 p.m. coming to you live from the town that is no longer my home (and listening to 883, cause im "homesick" for italy, go figure) mom is in the hospital, still, and this is bad. dad is in canada and not coming home any time soon. went to visit grandma today, who has alzheimer's and lives in a home. usually my mom visited her and took care of her. she didn't recognize me and kept asking for maria (thats mom) and freaked out when i told her she was in the hospital. then she forgot the entire thing and wanted to know who i was again. mom's brother (who's mentally disabled, mom takes care of him too) called the house today and i picked up, he wanted to know if she was ok and we talked for a bit, then he asked me for money and i said no (cause thats what mom told me to say) and then he asked me to take him to the grocery store cause "thats what maria does" and i was like, dont you do your own grocery shopping? apparently not. mom takes him grocery shopping every week. happened to look at mom's calander and saw he had an appointment at the health clinic and was like, you know you have a drs appt? he was like, yeah, but im not going. so then we got in an argument about that. honestly. i dont know him all that well, cause he's always lived on the west coast and moved to lancaster after i left, but its WEIRD to treat a fifty some year old man like a kid, but he IS a kid. then i bought myself some groceries with mom's credit card. then i ate dinner, now im watching my cartoons. im beat. tomorrow, i guess ill do the same thing: visit mom, get a list of chores from her, visit grandma, visit nick, do chores, visit mom again to promise that i did said chores, call dad, veg out, sleep. thats how my days have been lately.
