Oh, what a weekend...
Back at school, finally. Kinda-sorta watching the Survivor finale, as last week was so crazy I STILL haven't watched Desperate Housewives and Grey's Anatomy from LAST Sunday. Oops.
Mom broke her arm on Friday during the big ole snow storm. Which SUCKS. As she broke it up by her shoulder, and she's already got rheumatoid arthritis. And she hurt her leg, too. Not anything serious, but it isn't as strong as it needs to be. Especially as this is all on her right side, and so she can't stand up by herself. Because she can't take pressure off her leg by pushing with her arm, and she can't compensate for her useless arm with her leg. :\
So poor Mom is completely at the mercy of my brother and I, and at least we're there for her. And, as we keep saying, it could have been so much worse.
Sigh. So. There went everyone's weekend plans. I literally haven't stopped going since Friday afternoon and I REALLY needed some down time after last week.
So, I went grocery shopping, and cleaned, and changed sheets and kitty litter, and picked up Mom's car from work for her... And then I baked. Because Christmas IS coming.
And I've been helping since forever, but have never gone solo. I totally made Chex Mix and Banana bread ALL BY MYSELF last night! =D And today? I made FUDGE all by myself! Fudge!! And it all came out prefectly. AND I made a pork tenderloin roast for dinner tonight.
I feel all domestic and like, hey, I'm a good cook! =D
Random highlight, because sometimes you need to find them. And now is one of those times...
Also, I left a review to a *beautiful* fic, and it made the author happy! And I got a present because of it!! Weee!! =D I have to reply still, but I want to not be distracted by TV when I do. But I am a happy camper.
And this just goes to show that commenting is good. Because 9 out of 10 times I read a fic, I don't necessarily bother leaving a comment. Especially if there are lots of other nice comments. And quite honestly, I commented to beg for more Rentfic. ;) And it worked! ::beams::
So, feeling like I ought to comment more. Especially if it's a good fic. Because I SO live for comments, and really? I'm sure most people comment like I do. If the urge so strikes them.
...also, random. Apparently my roomie and I both left Saturday thinking the other was coming back to the room, so we left with the door wide open, unlocked and the light on. Thank God for Jenna, who shut the door and says she called me... but I never got a call, a voice mail or a "missed call."
And Mom and Ryan both claimed to call my cell phone Saturday, but my phone says they lie. I think my phone is playing mind games with me. Grr. As if something else needs to go wrong. Sigh. But thank goodness Jenna was looking out for us! Cause, yeah... a robbery would have just MADE my weekend. >.<
::sigh:: And now, of course, I want RENT icons. Mark, especially. This makes me so long for a paid account... I say, c'est la vie! (irk! I'm a fangirl!) >.
