Update! (a sleepy one)

Sooooo, what's happened since I posted last:

Went back to Indiana to attend my great aunt's funeral. At the funeral, her surviving sister had a small stroke and had to be taken to the hospital (protesting the whole way and insisting she was fine in so much as she could, given that she could barely speak, as per the family pride). Afterward, my little sis needed some cheering up, so we went to the next town north and puttered around the mall, got perfume and books, had a Japanese dinner, and almost went to see a movie. While in line, Dear Friend #2 phoned me, exceedingly upset (<-- understatement) as he had discovered the precise conditions under which his fiance had left him. Suffice it to say that the girl is one of the lowest people I've had the displeasure of meeting. So, Little Sis, who is also fond of Dear Friend #2, agreed to let me drop her off at home and book it over to his place, at which point we got a moderate quantity of alcohol, food, and watched Doctor Who.

I missed hanging out with him; it was nice. *cuddles friend*

The next day, after he'd gone to work, I drove back to pick up Little Sis and we got in our movie. (Incidentally the new Karate Kid is a cute movie, and Jaden Smith is very like his father.)

That Saturday, I had a nice walk around the IU campus, sat by its resident stream and watched the dragonflies for a while. I missed that place.

My friend seems to be holding it together, and the great aunt is out of the hospital. I had a very welcome half day of work, today, and drank a whole pot of jasmine green tea. (There is nothing on this earth that smells better than jasmine green tea.) This weekend I'm adventuring to Michigan with Dad the little sis and my stepmother, to visit my uncle and his wife, who are awesome people.

And now, I'm going to wish for LJ notifs to start working again, and possibly make an omelet. Yyyyyyepppp...

Remind me to post the pics I took during Sally's visit, yeah? There are some pretty ones... (And proof that Louis Comfort Tiffany approved of Yaoi! ^_^)
