My Mom had a major brain surgery. She's fine and recovering nicely. She had 5 cysts removed from under the front of her brain. It's a scary experience that makes you think about life a lot more. I cope in weird ways that I don't talk about much. Fortunately, all is well and just getting better and better.
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. I most likely will be working. I'm really hoping to be able to spend time with Brooke & Christian but it's a strong possibility that I won't see them until the evening. I guess that's the way it is. More people care about shopping for Christmas than spending time with family on Thanksgiving, so more places are opening up on Thanksgiving. For someone like me, that means that there's more possibility of service calls. At least this Caspian CD I'm listening to is really good.
I watched "Dark City" a few nights ago. It's pretty good. Kiefer Sutherland's acting is a bit over the top in the film, but I liked the idea behind it. I watched "Couples Retreat" today. It's pretty much exactly what the preview lead you to believe it was going to be. Vince Vaughn definitely brings the laughs a few times though.
My birthday was this past Sunday. Brooke called a bunch of my friends and a few of them came out to IHOP to surprise me for a mid-morning breakfast. It was great. Brooke got me some awesome Doctor Who presents and Lisa gave me some money to put towards a new tattoo. Mom and Dad aren't going to be happy about that, but it's okay because they love me.
Happy Thanksgiving, American friends. Don't get caught up in the whole "we took the country from the Native Americans" thing because sadly, it's already done. Be thankful for what you have and what you can work toward. Just because you're dealt a bad hand doesn't mean you have to play it. There are a handful of things in my life that bother me and I'm working hard to change them. Everything else thrills my heart that I can experience it.
