you're everything I couldn't be

Sorry I didn't post these earlier. I kept hoping to get more pictures, but it didn't work out.

( Now I need some long gloves )

We had a family catastrophe yesterday. I was on my way to a church cookout when my mother called in a very freaked-out state to tell me that my brother was over at their church and had been hit in the eye with a drumstick and they had called an ambulance, and I needed to come home right now. So I turned the car around and managed to get to the house in ten minutes, praying and freaking out the whole way. I kept thinking about my brother's archery and golfing and all the things he loves, and how hard it would be to do them with one eye. It turned out that he just had a scratch on his eye (not the lid, his actual eye), which is nothing to sneeze at, but at least everything's still intact. He's in some pain, but he's taking it generally well and finds his temporary eye patch very funny. I'm so thankful that it wasn't worse.

The rest of the weekend wasn't much better, really. I spent a lot of time with MaryElaine- we grilled out at her house and watched Stargate SG-1 (hi, dakoda), and hung out at the apartment and watched Star Trek: Nemesis, and had a nice quiet time together. But I was kind of annoyed about other things. I just need to hang on for another two weeks, and then California will clear my head. :)

Oh, I had an LJ dream last night! Jessica and Dania and Lisa, and I think Jonathan, were all at the apartment, and there was another horrible storm with tornado sirens, and I was like "Why does this always happen when people come to visit me?" Then I told Kathy that we couldn't do Pilates in the morning because everyone was sleeping in the living room. And then my alarm went off, and, since no one was actually in my living room, I had to get up. :)
