Apr. 14th, 2005 12:44 pmWell yesterday was the day. I've been so anxious to talk about this here and just couldn't because there is one person that has access to this Journal that just didn't need to know...or rather couldn't.
I shocked my bitch. For the last couple of years I've been thinking of a way to surprise the hell out of her by showing up in Denver. We've known each other for something like 6 years (neither of us is sure of whether it's 4, 6, or 12 at this point). Well in December I decided that I was going to just do it. They were repaving the park in April and that's the plan I had set in mind. I purchased the tickets, let some people that know us both into the secret slowly but surely. By the time I showed up yesterday, everyone we know, her mom and a friend of hers from school all knew about it. Thank God for Matt (friend from school). He's been my number one accomplice. I love him and he is getting much favors and petting from me. I got off the plane in Denver yesterday morning at almost 8am (Mountain Time)and got my rental car and got my butt to the school to meet Matt. I hung out there for awhile because I knew she would be showing up. She finally got there during a fire drill. I was standing there talking to Matt and she didn't even notice me. He got in the car so she could rant and rave about her morning. He said that he wanted to introduce her to a friend of his that would make it all better. She thought he'd lost his mind. I stuck my head in the car door and said "I'm here for Tony's baked goods." She LOST IT. There was screaming and jumping and running around and crying...it was a crazy moment for the memory books.
I told her that everyone from her Alpha sub to her mother knew. I also told her that I would be here for a week and you could just see the utter shock on her face. All the planning and secrecy and stress over everything was well worth it. By the time all of that was over, an hour later I was nearly lathargic because all of that was basically over. While following her to her house, I was finally able to let out some emotional crap...but that wasn't over the trip...
I was talking to my mother on Tuesday night before I went to bed to get ready for my flight and she said something completely disturbing. She said that she had a bit of a premonition (and no, she doesn't claim to be psychic)that she's not going to be around much longer. Had this been just anything, I would have rolled my eyes and said "ok, mom," but this time I couldn't help but understand what she was talking about. She has been anemic since she had Gastric Bypass 4 years ago and this week she's been really sick. She went to the hospital Tuesday, after passing out in school, and her iron level was 3.3. I'm not sure what a regular level is..but I think it's above 20. The doctor is very concerned and she thinks that one of her organs is shutting down. It's entirely possible. I would have been able to put some of that behind me for this trip if my dad hadn't said something. I asked my dad to keep an eye on her because she's depressed and said why. He told me that he's not entirely sure that she's not dying. Not the best way to start my trip.
I need to go for now, I'm going to write mroe about that later.
Off to try to have fun and keep my mind busy.
