The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

My Thanksgiving this year, normally one of my happiest, stress free, and drama free holidays, had a sad twist to it. My uncle Rodney passed away :(



It was not all that unexpected. He was 84, had Alzheimers, and was living in a home but none of us expected him to pass this soon.



I'm happy he's no longer trapped in his own mind and in a failing body. I know he's better off, but it still stings.



I know it's particularly hard on my mom... He was her oldest brother. I know she thinks about her own mortality... and we even went over this during her mental break from reality.



I think that is what upsets and scares me the most about this news... I am sad to lose my uncle but like I said I feel that he is in a better place... it's my mom that I'm worried about. She legit LOST HER SHIT when she simply found out her other brother was sick...



We JUST got her off her medication and get things back to normal. Will she dive off the deep end? Will we circle around and do that whole scene again? It was hard enough the first time I dont know if I could even handle a round 2...

"Don't waste your time counting the snake bite victims, its merely the snakes nature."



This just sounds like a great excuse for the snake. A convenient way to pretend there is nothing wrong with the snake yet blaming the animals the snake tries to eat.



"Ooohhhh it's just ****'s personality"



"That's just how **** is"



"Excuse his extreme flirting, awkward and unwanted advances, and completely inappropriate behavior towards YOUR BEST FRIENDS... thats just ****"



Ummm FUCK YOU! I will NOT be the bad guy in this situation.



It is not MY job to set his boundaries.



It is not MY job to tell him that he shouldn't grab your best friends boobs or try and put his hand down her bra.



Its not even YOUR job to do that. He on his OWN should know not to do that shit... Let alone IN FRONT OF YOU!



I'm really really REALLY fucking sick of this "Oh well that's just ****" excuse



Because if that's how you're going to play it, then YOU are going to have to accept the consequences of those actions.



You can NOT get mad at him for his bad behavior because YOU are letting him get away with it.



And most of all you can't get mad at your best friends for HIS shitty behavior. That is plain fucked up.



I have my own "That's just Ari..." habits too you know. And believe me from now on I will not be shy to use them. If you want to blame me for the asshole you're dating... fine... but you're going to have to fight me on it... and trust me I don't play fair.

Whelp that ER trip on Monday turned into another trip to the ER on Tuesday which lead to being admitted to the hospital for 2 days.



Stupid Kidney's producing kidney stones... WTF!?!? I mean at least if they are going to produce stones they could make Rubies or Sapphires or something interesting....



Wednesday the stone still hadn't passed so they had to go in and get it, only to find many MORE stones hiding up there which of course lead to a stent being put in.



What's a stent you ask? Basically its a crazy straw they attach to your kidney down to your bladder.... it is NOT pleasant.



Got to go home Thursday since I was feeling much better ONLY to return to the ER Friday because the pain was so bad I was convinced I was dying. I was of course re-admitted and spent the last 2 days stuck in the hospital. Again.



The stent came out today and I'm finally back at home with my own things, my own bed, my own dog, and in general NOT at the hospital.



Seriosuly this ranks up there as the 2nd worst week of my life thus far and I'm just happy the whole thing is over with.

Nothing says 'Happy Halloween' like a trip to the ER for a 3mm Kidney Stone AND finding out that your good blood vein is too scarred and damaged to use anymore.





Other than that...



HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!!!
