even thought i dont talk much about my personal troubles at home i guess am i going to now

last month my great-grandmother broke her hip and had to be operated, while she stayed at the hospital my mother and her 2 younger brothers decided to put her in a nursing home, since she's senile and suffering from what seems to be Alzheimers disease. well my great-grandmother is a tough lady to work with she's really stubborn. and she didnt want to get up from the bed where she was staying at, at the nursing home. but today her leg had gotten the color black because she wasnt moving, trombosis i think its the name of what she has. and there may be the possibility that her leg has to be removed. can you imagine? shes about ... 87 years old i think. having to go through that! T_T i dont think i'll be able to look at her (im very squimish). but now my mother wants me to take care of her tomorrow. which is terrible! i dont think i could handle it. im not refusing because im selfish or anything like that, just that ... i couldnt bear to see my grandmother like that. (and when she was at the hospital the first time, my mother and i used to take care of her at night) so im hoping that the docs dont have to amputate her leg.

on other topics on friday was vicky's (my sis) 9th grade graduation (in PR's public schools, junior high is until the 9th grade, but 12th grade is still considered as your 4th year of high school ... i know, its odd), and MAN was that graduation B O R I N G! yah, it was horrible, it droned, on and on and on and ON. crap, i hate graduations. but it was cute how my sisters good friend, ruthy, started crying at the end.

on saturday mom and i went to run some errands. we went out from 12pm or so and we camed back at 10 PM!!! O_O we where out all friggin' day. but good things she took me to borders and i bought Sleater-Kinney's "One Beat" (yea, another S-K album!) and Dashboard Confessional "The Swiss Army Romance" (woohoo! i sooo wanted that one!) to my surprise there is a track -"This is a forgery"- that is not an acoustic song, my reaction was "is that ... an electric guitar?!?!?!", my jaw dropped... :D my reason for going to borders was another one though, i went to buy Rooney's new album that camed out last tuesday. when i go to the store i check ton the computers, they have it, at $10.99! so i went happily upstairs to the music department and with the help of a cute employee i was looking for it (^.^), while my mother checked with the people at the information desk, i was saying to him the whole time (to the cute employee) "theyre a new band! nobody knows about them! the cd must be here somewhere..." well my mom screamed at me: "millie! only 3 of them camed!!" and a while later "... and ... all of them have been sold!" am i like "WHAT THE FUCK?!" who bought my Rooney CD?!?!? who the hell knows about Rooney in PR?! O_O i was ANGRY! and the cd wont arrive for another 2-2 1/2 weeks >_< good thing thats not the borders i usually go to ... hehehe

so yea, hope that nothing bad happens to my grandma
