I booked myself into work for the end of May. I have said I will just do weekends at first, but I have to be trained for all the new procedures and crap. I'll do that on a Thursday and Friday. 5 weeks tomorrow. So sad.
Do you know what really bothers me in a high schoolish sort of way? When bloggers who used to comment quite often stop commenting. It makes me paranoid. Do they no longer like me? Have I offended them somehow? And in a Kasey Chambers moment...am I not pretty enough? Ah, yes bloggerland is high school all over again.
And speaking of high school, I am wondering just what girl Lisa thinks I had a crush on. Because personally I think she has no clue and I am totally willing to take bets. Did I ever tell you I had a huge crush on her brother Robert? Yes I probably did tell you. I repeat myself often on this blog, because I tend to forget all the shite I have mentioned. Anyway, it went nowhere, the same direction as 98% of my crushes.
After today, my mother is convinced that only our half English blood has saved my brother and I from the depths of insanity. Since, you know, she thinks the Irish are all crazy. Tonight she has her proof. My cousin was arrested for something that happened with her husband. Spent a night in jail and has no access to her son. Is not allowed near her house, which I'm pretty sure is actually her house and not his house, unless she added his name to her mortgage. So I'm assuming something pretty heavy happened. It's just one more cousin to add to the mounting pile of alcoholism and craziness. All my dad's family of course. God, I've got cousins that sleep with first cousins and cousins beating up their sisters. Is it no wonder my mother thinks I've turned out okay, even with all the shit I make her worry about?
Shelley, my friend who works in the ICN, saw Janine's babies yesterday. Janine told her she could tell me everything which was very nice of her. They were both on CPAP for a few days, but now only one is. Both are being fed through IVs and yesterday they started tube feeding them. The one who is still on CPAP could not tolerate the feeding and was vomiting. So she is not doing as well as the other, but they are both expected to be alright. Janine's mum is not doing well at all. My mother, who is totally not this type of person, said "There's a reason those babies arrived so early." And there must be, I am not sure that she will make it to the original due date.

I feel the same way sometimes about the comments. It is highschool all over again.. I get really excited to see who has commented and what they have to say. I also try to figure out how I get at least 80 hits a day and usually only around 10 or so comments. It makes me wonder who all the others were even though I know some of them are repeat visits.
Sorry about your cousin. I have a few family members like that also I just try to stear clear of them myself, I don't need or want the drama.
I'm glad the babies are expected to be okay I hope the one turns around soon and can handle feedings soon. Sorry about her mom not doing so well though, that is just so sad.
You know there are some mad English people too, most famous prehaps is King George but anyway I digress.
Hope the twins continue to strive and Janines mum gets to spend some time with them. Sounds like your mum may be right about the birth.
As for popularity, I was never one of the popular girls and my school didn't have a lot of that (no cheerleader or head boy/girl or prefect). Everybody was encouraged to be themselves and I loved to be different, a bit quirky. Of course they was bullying a different groups but I tended to stick with a few friends and stay clear. I feel that I have made a bond with some bloggers, I think about them and their problems and nearly always comment on their blogs. Other blogs in dip in and out of and comment sporadically. I also feel I have enough blogs to read and enough blogging friends to worry about.
Plucking from among your things, I too wonder why a steady visitor seems to suddenly stop. I guess I could send a note to one blog friend and ask him to ask her if she still likes me. LOL Truthfully, I write for my own fun. I love, LOVE the comments. But I know my writing isn't so compelling that everyone will keep reading forever. LOL
I got your comment about the accents, but I must admit, I am a 'comment whore', too! It is like high school, and I wasn't popular, there, either. I totally understand the feeling.
I think there is a reason the babies were born early, but I'm sorry to hear her Mom isn't doing well.
So pleased the babies should be ok. I definitely agree with you mum, especially since it looks like the babies will be fine.
Cousins who sleep with cousins? Wasn't that a joke on The Simpsons?
I thought the same thing about your friend having her babies early actually.
I'm totally the same way about comments. I try to remind myself that if I'm not commenting it usually means my life is INSANE, not that I don't love the blogger anymore, and I tell myself that's why people stopped commenting on my blog.
Also? Have I mentioned that my life is INSANE lately? And I'm having a pretty unhealthy bout with depression? So I'm sorry I haven't commented as much.
I still think you are the bees knees.
It does sometimes feel like one big popularity contest... But I just tell myself that in the end, I'm writing for me. That I'll look back on these posts and be reminded of what my late 20's and early 30's were like.
And that's all that should matter.
But really? I get sad when I post and I don't get my usual number of comments, because I take it as the blogging world telling me "well that post sucked!"
I used to comment a lot until I noticed that you removed me from your blog roll! High school? yes! I figured you didn't care for me so why bother?
I was not a good "commenter" to begin with but I like you tons. I just wonder who you liked tons in high school? Was she in our grade? This is going to keep my up at night!!! Lisa@ Vancouver
ps bloggers - my brother liked her too but she chose someone else.
I am the same way about comments. I just don't have time to read and comment as much as I would like and I hope that's the reason people don't comment on mine--- but I always feel like people think I'm a total dillhole or something and that's why they don't comment. although I really like being different.
but, I know I don't comment enough- even so, I love you blog. love it!!
I'll say a prayer for Janine and her babies and her mum. What a roller coaster ride she is on, poor dear.
My thoughts are with Janine and family.
Glad to hear the babies are going to be alright and seem to be doing well. I am so sorry to hear that Janine's mom is not so well. I sincerly hope that will change soon.
