have you had your latin kiss today?

"...but why would you redo your floors in your house if you're going to move to dubai soon?"--sharla

i don't even know where to begin,
shall i start off with the breakdown i had at work about 30 mins ago?
or with spending all weekend in a hospital because my cousin is in a coma in ICU?
i don't usually spend any time in hospitals, so 2x in one week was beyond what i would ever ask for.

i got a call on friday from my mom who said that one of my cousins, marisa, was in ICU. they dont' really know what happened and i'm not going into the big story here, but either she had a stroke or something and they don't know when she collapsed (the nurse found her) how long she'd been like that and how much her brain was lacking oxygen, but now her ECGs are reading 90% brain damage. it's awful and sudden and sad. she's only like 32 and has a little girl. so i went with my mom to SA on friday and spent most of the weekend at the hospital with my family. i was so drained by sunday.

yesterday was ok, i mean there's no change in my cousin's state, and i think now they are talking about what they might have to do, since her body seems to be shutting down. i just felt like talking so after work i called shawna to see if she wanted to grab dinner, luckily she was free. so i met her at casa g's where we inhaled all the fat we possibly could. yum! i went to say hi to sharla quickly and then went home. i did nothing. i forgot i had 3 episodes of nip/tuck left, so i'm making my way through those, i only have one more to go, yay!

anyway today i woke up in a funk (you know, not to mention the whole Virgnia tech tragedy which is awful) and was just in a weird mood, anyway, i was looking at my minutes for our meeting we have on tuesdays and saw that something that was due today i didn't do and that was really my breaking point and i just started crying. awesome. my boss was calling me to the meeting and when she saw me, she was like, uhh just stay here, don't worry about the meeting. i feel so ridiculous, but i am thankful for my office door that i can just close. blah. worst day, bad weather, i just want to go home and sleep.

please keep my cousin and family in your thoughts and prayers.
