remorse

I do a horrible job keeping this up. I kept a livejournal in middle and high school purely because my parents would allow it. I went online every day and updated when they weren't paying attention, all the while swearing on someone's grave that I had deleted it.

I want to keep this thing to know what happens in my daily life. What I found funny, sad, amusing, the usual. And I never think about it. I want to try to keep a more accurate blog. Maybe a few times a week even?

I just found out my aunt (who, for all intents and purposes is my grandmother) has Alzheimer's and dementia. She doesn't recognize many friends or family anymore. It happened a few months ago and I had no idea. My family withheld it from me for awhile since there was nothing I could do about it and I wasn't really in any stable state of mind.

Without sounding callous, I was more emotionally moved by it than I expected. I spoke with her when I first returned from Boston in late February/ early March and, though she was old, I didn't think in any way we were heading down this path. I thought she was getting older clearly, and physically taxed. Apparently a month or so later the doctors made the diagnosis.

I was such a child. I was so lazy about them, and though I cared, I was always doing something when they called the house. I would talk with them but have to run to do something else. And now, here I am, filled with guilt, regret, remorse and overall sadness. Tomorrow I'll be fine, but it's sad to know that she's alive and in a childlike state of bliss and I'll never be able to fix my lazy actions. Regret is overwhelmingly powerful.

I had cinnamon toast crunch waffles with them. I watched Lawrence Welk with them. I sat on the floor too close to the TV with my sweater over my knees so that it stretched and cocooned my whole body (My parents never allowed either of those things.) I loved them. They thought I still loved cats like when I was 7. They were so supportive and loving and caring. I wish I hadn't been so indifferent as I got older. Maturity is so much an experience of learning from your mistakes. I wish I could fly out to California to be with them. To hold her hand, to say I'm sorry, to tell her I love her. It's hard knowing she's there and breathing and thinking, but won't register or remember any of it.

I think what is hardest is knowing that, most likely, the next time I'll see her will be for the funeral. And even if that were to change, she wouldn't be able to remember it anyways.

En Route

Technology is amazing. I'm on a bus traveling to NYC right now with internet access. INTERNET access. Well, I'm amazed by this.

On the down side, it's really quite uncomfortable and I'm feeling somewhat claustrophobic in this window seat with the guy in front of me seat reclined. All complaining aside though, I'm making the quickest trip known to man to spend approximately 8 hours of gloriousness with Rebecca, my lovah. Yeah, you would totally do this too if you were in my position.

Work week 2 down. I'm just so glad I'm employed. And it's a casual office with really nice people. I just hope I'm doing a good job. It's a little hard to tell since I don't know what I'm comparing myself to. Yet again, I am the youngest person in the office. The average age is early 30s I would guess, but I'm still the youngest by a year or so.

I've been having regrets about graduating early. I don't know how my family would have done it financially speaking and I don't know what classes I would have taken. I would have probably been extremely unhappy. But, it would have been comfortable. I would have been with my friends. I would have been able to see some of the people I love more than life itself every day. Not all of them - one's in Virginia and two are actually with me in Boston, but I would have been able to see most of them. And regardless, I've been so strange lately and impossible to reach (both on the phone and in any sort of emotional sense.) But it still would have been safe.

Thanksgiving is on Thursday. For the first time in 20 years, I won't be at home and I'm not sure what I'm doing. And it's strange. And I won't be home on Christmas Eve either. That is another thing I miss about school - the ability to have vacations that span weeks.

I'm at a turning poing - hopefully a turning point of the better. We'll see.

All Hallow's Eve

Working 8 to 5 makes you tired. Even though have the day I email everyone I know.

I'm going to start writing in this blog more often now. How in the world am I going to be able to look back at this time in my life if I don't record it?

This economy proves to be the most terrible time ever to try to find a job. Be happy if you're still in college. After countless interviews and less than a week of temping, I'm hoping that one of the interviews I've had recently will pan out.

Last weekend Caitlin and I went out toe harvard for a party and out to a club afterwards. Harvard people are not friendly and I know that yahtzee could be a clique, but I'm not sure even one person came to talk to us. And we were epically underdressed. Too pretentious for me. The only way we would have fit in the entire evening would have been for us to go find our formal wear, load on the make up and through on those 3 inch heels. We embraced our fashion "disaster" according to Harvard and danced in our own corner. We made a random friend (who I discovered to be about 29 after talking with him) who followed us and stuck with us but was painfully shy.

I met my future husband last week while waiting for almost an hour in a line outside a bar. Granted, he didn't know he was my future husband, but that's neither here nor there. He had some fancy job with computer software in the financial district and was so much fun and cute. But we never got into the club so we all parted ways. Knowing my luck, he's probably gay.

Temping in this healthcare place has been fine thus far. It's nice to actually use what mental capacity I have. It's sort of amusing that I'm ending up in a branch of the healthcare field. Granted, I'm in charge of organizing and updating ongoing research grants, but still, it's a temp job that doesn't involve filing or labeling or other random functions that someone who's brain was oozing out of their ears could still manage to accopmlish.

I'm happy here but not complete. I have no money and I'm tired of living off the tiniest amount of money. I miss music. I miss singing and performing. I miss rehearsal. I'm unfulfilled. I'm just thankful I'm able to put my finger down on what it is that makes me feel this way. I also miss the people who just understand me. I thought I would have friends like that here, but with the exception of a couple, I've been a little disappointed. I really need to stop complaining - I know things could be much worse. I should be counting my blessings. I'm just being emo.

I'm a freaking gimp. I have this stupid air cast that I have to wear all weekend. I look ridiculous. I let a sprain go for too long and now I'm bound to this inconvenient, uncomfortable, bulky, itchy and awkward leg/ankle brace/air cast shit. I even had to go to pediatric emergency care because the hospital ushers anyone 21 and under to that wing of the hospital. Then I waited 3 hours for them to tell me I had a sprain (quel surprise). And getting home was more difficult than if I had tried to cook thanksgiving dinner on my own. Halloween is not a good night to travel. Let's also talk about how I accidentally went the wrong way on the bus, so I hopped off at a T station. Then I had to transfer trains, but the station in the opposite direction was closed. So, I traveled back in a stop to transfer over to an outbound change. I finally arrived home at 8:30. Happy Halloween.

I will promptly stop complaining and whining and sleep. Tomorrow should prove to be an interesting day.
