lls_mutantWhoohoo! I have computer access at my Mom's! Sort of, anyway. I also have a long, long list of things to do this week for my sister's wedding (I'm currently typing her program). But at least I get to check on things.
SO wish I was going to The Witching Hour. I would have liked to have done a fic reading- maybe Mentors or the last bit of Deny Thy Father. And I really, really would have liked to have met everyone! But the wedding (and being so freaking pregnant, but more the wedding) definitely takes precedence- there is NO way I would miss this! Even if it would get me out of looking like an utter tank. I had my dress fitting the other day, and the salesladies kept telling me how beautiful I looked. I flat out laughed. I look PREGNANT... and while I'll accept I look good in my own clothes, perhaps, I still think I look like a tank in my bridesmaid's gown. I mean, my sis has good taste and it's nowhere NEAR as hideous as it could be, but it's still a BRIDESMAIDS GOWN. You're not supposed to look good in them. It's in the definition.
They also wanted $120 to alter the dress. WHAT? The dress only costs $190!!! So I threw a bit of a fit, because it was supposed to be in by September 17 so I could take it home and have it fitted by someone who didn't charge an arm and a leg, but they didn't order it on time and I couldn't. So they're only charging me $85. Sheesh.
On the bright side, we get to go see my sister's dress tomorrow. THAT will be gorgeous! :) And I'm going to visit Grandma today.
I'm very aware that this week might be the last time I see my grandmother. I won't get up here again until after Toby's born, which will probably be a good 3 months, assuming I don't have to have a C-section and Toby arrives on time. I really, really don't think Grandma's going to make it that long. It sounds awful, but I hope she doesn't. She's going downhill so fast. I'll be sorry to see her go, and sure I'll miss her. But the woman is 95. She's done everything she wants to do in life, except see my sis get married and see her first great grandchild. And she believes that when she dies she'll be with my grandfather and my father. And right now, she's suffering. I would rather she die one night in her sleep peacefully than suffer- I really would. She's having trouble with her mind, she's losing control of her elimination functions, she's not independent at all anymore... and as one might expect, she's miserable. So I want to be sure I get to say goodbye, because I really hope she doesn't live 3-4 more months, only getting worse and worse.
Anyway.
I suppose I should get on my other wedding-related jobs. If I don't get back to comments or whatever, rest assured it's because I'm running around up here. I'll be back next week.
Have fun, all! Especially those going to TWH!
