I got flooded yesterday for Christmas. It ruined our chances of getting food from a holiday thing. That may not seem like much to you but I live off of free food. I treat myself and family of course, or buy ingredients for things to make, but I can't constantly keep up.
No, I'm not on food stamps. I don't want to be dependant on that. But, they're also not on food stamps and that's a problem. They're also meat eaters, unlike myself. Most places don't give much meat so I totally understand that they miss it and it hurt to see them not get anything because we had to deal with the flood. So I bought them Chinese food. Hah, insert classic Jew joke here lol.
A lot of our stuff got ruined again. I hope they do something about it.
That's how I spent my only day off. Despite not being able to see him.
Christmas isn't my holiday. But don't get me wrong, I'd love to have an excuse to celebrate. :)
Two weeks of dealing with this flood... And I haven't even sent out cards yet.
I'm so grateful for what people gave me. Two people from here, I'm so sorry I couldn't send it out. I feel awful about it. :(
Also got a surprise card today. That really made my day. People are just so kind.
That kindness makes me stay so positive. Thank you, everyone, for everything, stuff, kind words, even kind gestures. I thank you dearly. :)
What made me smile most this week was making sweet, passionate art. :P
Cheers for new years! May everyone be as kind as they were this year. :) ♥
My boyfriends sister has cancer and its in her brain. I want to cry.
This is the 5th time I've fallen asleep on him while typing. My sorry attempt to write this time looks worse than a drunk person. Lmao I felt so embarrassed. But I'm proud I got I love you right and the word ass. ... Which was supposed to be I feel like an ass for falling asleep but all I wrote was jumbled up nonsense and the words, an ass. LOL
oh gods. xD
They drained the flood. Our floors are a little screwed. I'm still cleaning up the aftermath between work and cooking.
More bad news- They think his sister has cancer but they need more tests. :(
Good news- My art might get promoted soon! :D I'm very excited about it.
Although I'm worried to death about someone I consider family, I know they want everyone to be strong.
Our bathroom is flooding like crazy into every room. The outside is flooded, its like walking in a river. And I'm not there to help. I'm standing out under a building waiting to clock into work. Blah. I wish I was helping them. But I can't afford to take the day off.
Hopefully we can put this all behind us in time for the holidays.

Oh my
Oh no Rose :( So sorry hun, hope it gets fixed and soon.
It's raining and our bathroom is flooded. Ugh. I wish I could just sleep this day away but I have work. Its so boring when I can't bring my sketch pad along. I got two more people to draw. One's a band member who will share my page after I'm done.
I won't brag about where I advertised because I don't want competition, lol. I also got one donation, which is really nice.
I get agitated, for a second. At times I want to make journal entries and it logs me out. I wanted to write about my fun at the Met in my main journal. I tried five times, each time, rewriting. So, forget it.
Plus, the friend I made never got back to me. *shrug* That's people for ya.
Life in general has been weird. Ups and downs.
December 15th, 16 years ago, my grandmother passed away from cancer. I don't always bring it up. It will always be hard for us to celebrate Chanukah. Over time its gotten easier for mom to celebrate, with shul having celebrations.
I miss my grandmother a lot. I will always remember how educated and smart she was.
These past few days I've been worried...
you see... Someone I know might have cancer, but they haven't gotten the tests back yet. I just want to hug them so bad and their family. This just can't happen.
Cancer is a horrible thing. They're in my prayers every day. I hope it's benign. I hope to god it's nothing. I will write about it when I get more news.

It's a bloody horrible disease. Just remember it doesn't rule anyone, unless they allow it. We are all so much more than what our bodies can contain. Love and friendship are two of the most powerful tools any of us can have, and in this you are blessed.
Thank you. ♥
