elvendoll...so the tone of this might be a little bit off.
i'm currently at my parents house... i got here around 4 pm today, after about 4 hours of sleep and 5 hours of driving - and feeling dead out of it. i came in, ate, had two cups of tea, followed my mom around the house while she was doing chores and then layed down until abi woke up.
once tha happened, it was off to a family friend's house - i think i slept for half the car ride there. but, there, after feeling crappy for a while, i was given the perfect solution - strong coffee and home-infused cranberry vodka - i can't remember the last time i had vodka that good! and, my mom's friend will now make a batch for me next time she makes more *bounce* (unfortunately, by now, the coffee is making me twitchy & my tummy unhappy)
hanging out there was cool - it felt really comfortable, and it was fun to watch abi, my stepdad, the male half of the couple we were visiting, and their younger son (age 8, i think) goofing off...
abi, unfortunately, isn't quite accepting me yet : (
when she first woke up she was really standoffish, and wouldn't let me pick her up or give me a high-five. i've definately made progress during the day, as i can now pick her up as long as it accomplishes something she wants to do, and she'll interact with me... hopefully, tomorrow i'll get a hug : )
how much she's changed in a month and a half frazzles me - before, she had a vocabulary of like 5-10 words, and would just let you guess what she wants with giving a yes or no to each guess - now, she can say so much more, and actually get her point across very efficiently. my mom also tells her little kid rhymes, and she'll fill in missing words if my mom prompts her : )
overall, this is so panning out to be a very up & down weekend so far - friday night sucked until LoTR, which was good... saturday afternoon was very much touch & go, but i had a very good time at the party i went to - it was a bit less crowded then i expected, but it was also a very good thing, as there was more group interaction, and everyone seemed to be having a good time with it (big thank you to the hosts! : ) )
i'm still a little weirded out by the shaking-hands problem i experienced at the beginning of the party - i know i hadn't eaten much that day (cereal and a tofu corndog), but i also napped during the day, but usually if i am food-deficient, i get crippling hunger pains before any other side-effect has a chance to set in... i told my mom about what happened, and how something similar happened at MR a couple of months ago, and, as i expected, she said i should see a doctor. only i can't fathom having to deal with another doctor who can't figure out whats wrong with me & looks at me like i'm making this shit up.
actually, speaking of my perpetual tummy-problems - they seem to have gotten better. right around the time i put on extra weight. so my current theory is that whatever it was was connected to my overactive metabolism, and in the past few months, my metabolism went on a more normal cycle, which makes for less upset stomach and more pounds.
but, i had just now gone to say goodnight to abi and totally lost my track of thought - more later :)
