autumnluv143Well...the biggest part is over now. I got there with no trouble and made it through the week with minimal as far as my self goes.
Got in Friday night, and had my mom fussing over me all night until I managed to fall asleep on her. It felt so good to be back in Louisiana, but not like I'd been gone for 8 months. I spent all day on Saturday with my sister-in-law, who is a total trip. She was leaving on Sunday for three weeks, so that was the only day I had with her. We talked alot and it was good just to be basically one on one with her.
Saturday night, V came to pick me up in Slidell. We got to Casa Maria too late to have dinner with Diana and Sol, but in enough time to meet up with Black Razor and Edge. Dinner was good, company was better, but I was anxious to get to the party. It'd just been way too long. It was awesome to walk in the door and see faces that I remembered so well and love so much. It was even better, though, to see them just as happy to see me. I had forgotten how good that feels.
Dix...you are more gorgeous than ever and I wish you every happiness on your upcoming change. Life should be good for you and you need to do whatever it takes to make it that way for you. R and G, looking at what's going to be going on in my life over the next year and a half, I really don't think I'll be able to make it to Dallas in October, but I'm still going to keep an eye on things and let you know if anything changes. W...I'm glad you were finally able to attain the treasure I'd been keeping from you for so long. Even if you did have help (sticky, gross help) cheating. D and S, I'm so glad I got to see you at the party and had even more fun verbally abusing Teddy. J, I missed you too and I'm so glad you made it out. I can't wait to hang with you again. A, You are more amazing than I know how to express. You are certainly in your element being in a position of power. Strange how that works, right? I missed everyone. Anyone I'm not mentioning personally here, it's either for a reason or because there were so many.
I got home Sunday and the rest of the week was me trying to catch up with old friends and dealing with my mother's house. That was the most draining part. My mother...what do I say about my mother? I think that unless you're around to see what's going on with her and know her well enough without letting her get totally under your skin, it's easy to miss. I can see it. My dad can see it. My sister and brother see things but think that we are making too big a deal of it or that she's playing up the part of the victim. She really is deteriorating at a rate that's scary to me. She's not as sharp as she used to be. Yes, alot of that has to do with the cocktail of drugs she's on, but truthfully, it's more than that. I talked to her today and told her that she had better not try to give up on life at least for another year. She's like, "Well, I'm not doing any of this on purpose. I can't help it. You can't possibly think that I like being this way." I know she doesn't like it. I hate it for her. She took pride in her swiftness and mind. Her mind is still there, it's just harder to break in past all the cloudy stuff.
I realized when I got to my apartment yesterday that I left my keys to my apartment, car and mailbox in Slidell. I'm such a tard. So my mom is going to send them UPS this week so I can check my mail.
That's all the update I have for now. My mind stopped functioning a few minutes ago and I still need to go work for a few hours. Thanks to everyone who made my trip so great. I love you all.

It was *so* good to see you, visit with you, watch you verbally abuse Teddy, hear you talk about your new job (The stories! bwahahaha).
I am happy for you, but miss you.
