haven't updated in a small while, so i suppose i should do that. i'm not feeling particularly well lately. i am still sick and don't appear to be improving. i'm going to try one last thing before i resort to antibiotics: the vick's-on-the-feet thing. i'll let you know if it works; i keep being told it's nearly miraculous. as for mike & i, thursday, 16 oct, was our four-year anniversary. we did another drive to look at the leaves, which was a lot of fun; couldn't do too much or go too far, though, as mike woke up sick that day. he's already better. he gets two days of illness; i get three weeks. that's totally fair and shit. obama totally won the debate again. three for three. my nan is now living in an assisted-living 'rest' home. the doctors refused to send her home because she cannot live by herself anymore; she is far too weak. this is permanent; she will never again be able to live in her own house. the family is apparently going to sell it once she gives the 'OK', despite my grandfather having built it with his own hands in the 1950s, and despite it being such a lovely house. as i've been sick, i haven't been able to visit my nan since i wrote my last entry. i've plans to go see her on sunday with my fam*; apparently, she has her own flat and it's a really lovely place. i know the building is only a few years old, so it's all modernised & has a lot of conveniences. i'm glad that she's in such a swank place, though i'm still depressed because this marks the beginning of the... ....i mean, she's not ever going home, you know. she will stay there until her time is up. i'm depressed. *update: didn't get to go, as she took a turn for the worse & wasn't up for visitors. )= _______ saturday, 18 october 2008 11h11 CDT
