Music pours into the air all around me as the wind rushes wildly outside my bedroom window. A relatively cool morning despite the velocity of the airflow slamming against everything it touches. It's going to be interesting driving on the freeway to see Dad today if the wind doesn't let up anytime soon.
*pauses to take a drink of her coffee*
Had an escape attempt earlier, one of my fuzzy children (Namely old-fart Pez) somehow slipped past me as I came back into my room and was chased around by the dogs. No one was hurt, they didn't attempt to eat him (though it would've served his fuzz-brain if he'd gotten a love-bite right on his fuzzy ass) he doesn't have a problem with dogs, he loves everybody (he IS the attention whore of my feline boys) and when I came out of my room, he was up on the chair to my left, not too puffed out and unscaved. My stomach dropped when I realized he'd gotten out in the first place. Little asshole. He's fine, the pups are fine. I just don't know how he managed to do it. Well one thing's for sure, I'm makin' Damned sure that doesn't happen again. Even if that means making sure my room is locked every time I leave it. Damned cat... *lets out a frustrated sigh*
In other news, I just learned that one of our greatest actors, Bob Hoskins... Passed away at the age of 71 after battling pneumonia. My heart hurts...:(
I grew up knowing his face; Mermaids, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Super Mario Bros, Hook...etc. He portrayed the character Smee twice, in two different renditions of Peter Pan. He was such an amazing actor... This coming weekend at Faire is 'Pirate Weekend'...it will be very bittersweet.
*lets out a soft sigh and takes another drink of her coffee*
In other, lighter news... I watched Supernatural last night, it was the introduction to their Spin-Off called, "Bloodlines". Gotta say, wasn't half bad. Also proved how friggin' tall both Winchesters really are lol Seeing as I've seen Jared and Jensen in person, now I know for a fact they BOTH are a damned Moose *laughs* Oh that's right... I still haven't written about the Supernatural convention in Vegas, have I? Well it was really amazing for one thing, and Osric (aka Kevin Tran) was just a sweet heart. Wasn't short either. He stands around 5'8. Again, the boys are Ents. *snort*
*laughs as 'DangerZone' starts playing*
I swear Pandora Radio has a sense of humor XD
Anyhoo, I'm gunna drink the rest of my cup, possibly get another cup and keep my keys with me at all times so there are No More Escapes *sighs and shakes her head*
-Adieu
My, my... It's been awhile since I've updated on the ever so magical happenings of my tiny existence. I apologize for the wait, I've been rather distracted with Renn Faire shenanigans :P
*chuckles and takes a drink of her coffee*
It's been pretty awesome thus far. Spending time with my Faire Family and Friends, creating Chaos and wonderful Memories I won't soon forget. It's amazing that we're already half way... Only 3 Weekends left and this season of the Renaissance Pleasure Faire will close and we'll all have to wait until next Spring to do it all over again.
*grins as Guns'N'Roses 'Sweet Child O'Mine' begins playing over the speakers*
Honestly, being able to work faire again as a Rabble Rouser at the Joust, has really done my spirits good. I wasn't even sure if I'd even be able to do so this year due to everything that's been happening with Dad's health. Thankfully, the Fates seemed to give me a small break... Finally got some breathing room.
Dad's actually doin' alright for the most part. He's still at the VA Hospital and they're doing everything they can to get him his strength back, but of course it's not going to be an easy battle. His Liver is barely functioning and may never recover due to the abuse that has been inflicted on it for so long. However, whatever they're doing has brought my Dad back... Sure, he still has a little confusion, but it's nothing like before. I wish more than anything for a miracle...but I'm a realist. He can either improve quickly and maybe be able to come back home, or they keep him stable like they have been and we'll go from there. It's unfortunately, a waiting game. I have no problem waiting, but Dad desperately wants to come home even though he knows that's not going to happen unless he's at least able to walk on his own.
*takes in a deep needed breath and lets it out slowly*
This illness has done a real number on him physically. I try not to think about it; how he went from being strong, barrel chested and very independent... To being almost unrecognizable. I know that it's hard on him emotionally, but he's still just as stubborn and isn't ready to give up anytime soon. So that's a plus :)
*chuckles and takes a drink of her coffee*
I've also been driving Ellie allot more since Faire started. I wasn't sure if she'd make an Hour and Twenty minute drive twice every weekend, but she's been fantastic. She seems to enjoy stretching her legs. Especially since I get to open her up and let her go 70-75MPH on the freeway. Trust me when I say that's Not speeding for a '70 Chevy. It seems that she evens out and rides smoother at those speeds and does pretty well on Gas even though she can be a gas guzzler. She was designed for long hauls, so it's less expensive then I feared it would be. I'm proud of my baby ^_^
Anyhoo, I'm gunna stop here and go finish my coffee. I promise that I'll make a point to write more, especially after I first get up so I don't forget.
-Adieu
