how do i keep not updating? i don't know. but i do. i was just about to head to bed. not for sleeping quite yet, but i was going to watch some stuff off the tivo and write in my paper journal a bit and then go to bed. h is going to school super early in the morning and i want to try to wake up to see her off.
today was laundry day. yesterday alan and i cleaned out 3 communal closets that had been a big messy mess for many years. it was fantastic. well it was kinda yucky actually doing it, but gavin it done is fantastic.it made lots of laundry though, so today was laundry day. considerably less yucky, but with lots more folding. there's still a little bit left, but isn't there always?
today was also chilly day. after several days of upper 80s that made me contemplate turning on the ac in march (i didn't), today it was in the upper 50s. brrr. i'll take 80s over 50s anyday. it was also rainy so of course it made me remember great britain. honestly, it doesn't take much to make me think of great britain. but still.
so much has been going on here lately, and i haven't been here to tell you about any of it. that's frustrating to me. my college (and current town) basketball team went to the playoffs. it was a big exciting deal when we won the final 4. we had victory cupcakes and i planned a whole big post that i never made. a couple days later, it was the final game and we got beat. fair and square. it was a few days of craziness between those two games, and it was sad when it was over. i still love my jayhawks though. there's always next year.
here's an ap photo of when we won.
and our downtown that night:
it was crazy, but peaceful. we don't burn furniture or flip over cars or anything. we just like to have a good time. i am too old to go, but my friend elwood went for me. he enjoyed it for the both of us.
also, there has been a rash of spring cleaning, mostly thanks to the eager encouragement of my best boyfriend alan. hallways, closets, the library, the yard. all kinds of stuff. he is excellent and i love having his help. he's good to me and i seriously appreciate it. i am lucky.
oh, and hannah had a grand mal seizure. we were sitting on the floor upstairs, trying to decide if she was going to get better enough to go to school (she was having the type of small seizures that usually fade out) and bam. she went down and sure enough. it's so horrible watching someone have a seizure. especially someone you love as much as you love your kid. i'm sure it sucks to have them to. she loses her memory for a while and has a horrible headache. this time she didn't have the vomiting, but she did do something to her shoulder that's been givin her troubles since. poor kid. i effing hate epilepsy. in case you were wondering.
so there's a little catch up. i really intend to do this on a consistent basis. i do! honest. i guess we'll just have to see how that goes...
