hey. i'm in pennsylvania. on tuesday morning i just couldn't stay at work--i had to see my daddy. what if something had really been wrong? so i left work and drove eight hours to the hospital where he was and surprised him, and we both cried and stuff. he was allowed to come home today, which was really good, and he's feeling much better. his cigarettes have been packed away (to be given to a coworker) and i washed out all the ashtrays and put them away. mom and i went shopping for low fat and fat free foods, and she cooked a ymmuy meatloaf for dinner that didn't seem at all low fat but was in actuality much healthier than a normal meatloaf.
in other news, my car is in the shop with a transmission ish. mom talked the people into looking at it because of our situation, but we don't know how bad the problem is, if they'll be able to fix it easily or quickly, how much it'll cost, or if our extended warranty is still good. i'm worrying: i can't afford a new car, or even afford to fix up the current one. it only has 48,000 miles on it, it shouldn't even have transmission problems now. so i'm dependent on my parents to bail me out of this one, when my dad won't be able to work for a month. but if we hadn't discovered it now, i probably would've driven it till the transmission fell out or something, so maybe it's a good thing.
getting my hair cut tomorrow morning. i have an appointment and everything, at the salon where i got my hair done for prom. i trust them; i had gorgeous prom hair. when it's all over i'll have my dad take some pics with his digital cam (and hopefully i won't be weeping in them).
i miss my jorn. and i won't get to see elan again before she moves, so i'll have to wait till i go to tennessee again (not likely any time soon) or she comes to boston (slightly more likely since she's got family there). i miss her already too.
susanna wants to go to backpacking in europe next spring. i would love that so much, but things are too mixed up right now to even think about it. but i'll think about it anyway.
i'm glad my daddy's okay.
