Since I started College, I've always tried to have my Birthday party, usually just a small get together of a few friends and family, before summer ends. I go back August 21st, so my time is short.
SO! My Grandmother has Knee Surgery, and must be put on this beast of a machine three times a day for an hour. She needs someone down in Richmond with her to help'er, and at first? My Aunt BITCH volunteers. And By her volunteering, she means her daughter, who bails on Grandma within five days, and dumps this situation on us with not even 24 Hour notice.
This was week before last, Friday. This is the last Week of it, ends the 19th. No chance of the get together happening.
I know, you might be thinking, "Well, what about the Weekends?"
WELL! Here's another situation! A family friend has been going through ahorrible divorce, and is going to move out of town. He's giving us his dogs, so we have to set up a kennel by the end of the month.
SO! With Dad, the only one with enough finesse with the Backhoe to smooth/flatten/add dirt to a slope where we plan to build the kenel, gone for this week, we'll have to get that kennel setup right quick when he gets back, killing my chances for my Birthday probably for August.
September, you say? WELL! We still have to fix the Blazer! By then, I'm sure something else will rear it's ugly head.
I mention none of this to my family, for it really is a small matter. A Personal matter for me, but one I compeltely understand foregoing considering what is happening....Which doesn't mean I like it. At all.
