*sigh*

8:48:00 PM Mom: Your Aunt Kathy isn't doing too great. Her blood counts were so low that she couldn't have chemo this week. Her hair is falling out, too.
8:48:11 PM Heidi: Oh no
8:50:30 PM Mom: She has an appointment with the Feel Good Look Better people Friday. They will help her with skin care and scarves and will give her a wig. They will also cut of what is left of her hair if she wants. I think she will want that. The constant shedding is bothering her.

I'm definitely not going home for Thanksgiving break, too expensive. Dad remembered not to buy me a round trip ticket for Christmas break, so I'll be driving back in whatever car I end up with.

I think I'll refrain from participating in Bon Jovi communities for a bit. The more excited squee I see the more it's gonna suck I just can't fucking afford them.

It's fucking cold. Back to bed.

Things

- It was fucking cold this morning. Getting out of my nice warm bed full of cats was like getting smacked. 23° when I left for class. Ick.

- Google Checkout is running a promotion for first-time users, $10 towards your first GC purchase from participating retailers. Buy.com is a participating retailer, and is currently selling a 1 GB flash drive for $10. They have a free shipping option. 1 Gig flash drive free = yay.

- Last week sometime I e-mailed the parents about sending me a package with some of the winter clothes I left at home. They sent it this week. It was supposed to get here today, and it WOULD HAVE but my roommate didn't bother to answer the door (when I say didn't bother, I mean just that: she was sitting 15 feet from the door and just didn't get up), so my clothes I've been looking forward to are at the post office right now.

- Talked to Mom earlier. Says aunt is doing better today, more accepting. I sent her an e-mail this morning full of Tommie and Gina pictures, she's a woman what appreciates a cat picspam. Suggested she get a purple wig to match her car. If I've never discussed my aunt's car here, it's a PT Cruiser convertible she had her boyfriend paint purple. Shit is badass.

- Mom also said she's found a car she likes, so as soon as they work out paying for it, I'm getting her car. I was kind of hoping for a more fun car, but this is a way nicer car than I'd be getting otherwise, so screw fun.

- Mmmm hot cocoa
