Smackdown

Ok, Lisa, the bnitch sis-in-law woke me up yesterday after about 4 hours of sleep just to bitch me out for not calling mom in the hospital. Well, I explained to her
A)I have a job.
B)No one bothered to tell me she was still in ICU.
C)In fact, no one tells me anything in this family unless they want an excuse to bitch at me.

So, I call mom. Here's the low-down. Besides the 4 clots in her lungs, she has about 10 in her leg. Evidently, her symptoms were not what they look for, so no one caught it nearly a year ago when she had the "anxiety attack". So...she's in the hospital until probably Monday. After that, she is pretty much house bound for 3 months, and it will be a year before she can do everything again.

*sighs* As selfish as this sounds, this means I can't take her to The Nutcracker and The Magic Flute like I wanted to. Plus, she bout two of the books I was contemplating buying for her for Xmas to read while bed-ridden. Frick.

I'm now contemplating signing up for the Vampire:The Eternal Struggle tourney at The Blushing Pixie. I haven't played in years, but all participants get a free Eye of Hazimel card just for playing. Maybe I could re-create that nice Ventrue Vote Deck again. Either that or an Exploding Malkavian Deck.

Anyway, good night. I'll probably start comment whoring again tomorrow.
