forget the hummingbird, here's the deal

so, i had just posted that last entry, was settling down to write and...

my father (this is hannah btw--might be a good time to make the distinction) called to say there is a good chance that i am inheriting my brother and sister for a year, maybe longer. they are 5 and 6. i may not see or speak to you ever again. there's always the slight chance, as there always is with my dad, that this won't happen. but he sounds serious. and he's talking plane tickets, guardianship papers, etc. so instead of eating ice cream, i've been looking up school districts, start dates, and the like. clearly, am in shock--a little hysterical. i'm blogging for christ sakes.

but i'll be fine. i am preparing myself. it's complicated, but i'd almost rather they be here with me. even if it means life as i know it is over. but this happens, right? cars crash, people crash, and 28 yr olds give birth to elementary schoolers. this will be fun. this will be an adventure. this will be the best book ever. anyhow, keep me in yr thoughts. if you pray, now's the time.

oh yeah, and my mac is f*cked and leaving me. mac support is sending me a box. is having me renew a warranty (for three hundred dollars). so, i'll just be on mimosa's computer off and on for the next 5-10 days.

my car is not okay. it wasn't just the battery. i couldn't shift out of reverse for like 20 minutes at pcj. the a/c is blowing hot air. it's stalling out. crap. steve really let me down--just like a man. kidding. sort of.

ok, am obviously talking total gibberish. cross yr fingers and hope for the best.

love from crazytown.
