I woke up to a 6 year old poking my cheeks.
She wanted eggs at 7 in the morning.
I made the fucking eggs, and we ate together at the table.
We hung out all morning until it was time for her to go to the hospital.
I headed out to the Mount for one class, slept through it and then left early.
I took the bus downtown and went to get Leah at work.
She had asked her boss the day before if she could leave early to come to the hospital with me.
Then her boss gives her all kinds of bullshit over it.
It took an hour for Leah to finally get out of there, by then Natalie had shown up too.
Natalie can't go home for Christmas, I feel bad for her.
Children's Hospitals are too much.
The first thing we saw when we got to the elevator was a little girl, she looked so sickly and sad.
It brought tears to my eyes.
Too much for me.
I was glad when I finally layed eyes on my little sister she was doing great.
She was in this magical play room.
Seriously has the best set up for crafts ever.
I made Anika do crafts because I wanted to.
Sparkles, they had SPARKLES, I haven't sparkled anything in ages.
The nurse came in to check Anika's blood pressure and temperature.
The thing thats struck me is that open seeing the nurse, Anika turned her head for the temperature machine, then she immediately stuck out her arm for the blood pressure test.
It was like a routine.
That shit should never have become routine.
Stephen came to get us at the hospital.
He showed me some 50's sleaze, with Betty Page, hot lady that one.
Julia, Eben, Meghan, Stephen and I, all went to the CopperPenny for supper.
It wasn't a very good meal, but it was fun.
When we finished we all went to scrabbler except for Meghan.
I got absolutely slaughtered the first game, it was embarassing.
I didn't do as awful the second time around.
Hanging out with those cats was awesome.
They know so much about everything music its fucking scary.
The group last another member, Stephen drove us all to Reflections and headed home.
I got to see tons of people that just make me generally happy in their presence.
Jenna (who I found out make those cookies), Mike D, Emily, Julia, Katie.. and the list goes on.
I got walked home.
We hung out for a long time at my house.
I liked it.
I'm also an idiot, and can't handle myself like a human in the most basic situations.
Next time, I'll do better.
Julia came with me to the hospital the following afternoon.
My little sister was confined to her bed for 24 hours.
She seemed alright though, her rash spread a little, but nothing to bad.
Tomorrow we get some results and see what has to happen in the future.
The little girl who shares the bed next to hers has been battling the same disease for 4 years.
The doctor said it was the first time they had two patients with that disease at the same time, sharing a room.
Most doctors only see 1 or 2 cases of this a year.
I went to work for a visit and ended up having to work.
I felt awful for being late and worse for telling Meghan I'd go see her.
After work I went to Leah's.
She fed me and got me high, sweet sweet Leah.
She also stole cheesecake from work.
Happy birthday Nathalie!
