Life
My sister is home now and responding well to treatment. The doctors are hopeful, yet realistic. They are telling us in no uncertain terms that this is a treatment, not a cure, but that they have every intention and hope of getting to the bottom of what is causing my sister's condition. She was able to go home to be with her girls for Thanksgiving which was such a blessing. My mom will stay in Michigan for another few weeks until my sister gets back on her feet, and my dad is now back home safely after his quick Thanksgiving trip to be with Mom, Moe, and the girls.
My best friend from childhood (Christina) brought her little sister to NY for Thanksgiving, and we spent a wonderful albeit too short few days together, but it was great having someone I love clase by to celebrate the holiday with. We saw Lion King which is quite the theatrical spectacle if I do say so, and Wintuk the new Cirque du Soleil show, which I honestly could have done without.
We had Chinese food instead of the traditional Thanksgiving Dinner, which was loads of fun and took my mind at least partially off the fact that I wasn't with my family for the holiday.
My little brother spent Thanksgiving with my Aunt, Uncle, and cousins back in Texas, so our family was completely spread out this year. I spent the majority of the night before Thanksgiving scaring the crap out of said little brother when I called him while on my subway ride home and bawling like a baby about the fact that we couldn't all be together. Christina, Kara, and I had gone to see Four Christmases (the screenplay sucks, skip it, although Kristin Chenowith is always a delight *shakes fist at ABC for cancelling Pushing Daisies while she's on this tangent*) and something about the movie just made me realize how alone I'm going to be on Christmas, and at least I had friends (practically family, we've been best friends for over half of our lives, and Christina is now dating my little brother) with me for Thanksgiving.
Normally, I don't like to borrow trouble, but I couldn't stop the fast forward button in my mind that blatantly reminded me that on Christmas I'll be all alone. Hence the call and commence the crying. I scared more than a few subway passengers as well.
All in all, it was a good few days though. I wish it could have been longer, just like I wish that friends and family could visit with more regularity. (I know I've only been gone for 2 and a half months, but it feels like longer *shrugs*.)
Anyways, that's me for now. Hope all of your holidays were wonderful. :)
Current Mood:  subdued
