My brain's on overdrive. I can't keep up.
This, after months of its hibernation, despite proddings here and there to get it back in working order. I guess it took a mountain and chill-factor mist to actually accomplish it. Now I feel like this thing between my ears is running high on steroids. Not that I know how that exactly feels, but...I seriously can't keep up. My Arkarna phase is back with a vengeance.
(This, my friends, is an early warning. Post-influx, full speed ahead!)
So. November. The month before December. Before I turn another year older (and wiser. Yes, this, I can say for sure.) Before the Christmas rush is at it again (which reminds me to start planning my Christmas pressie purchases before the crowd gets too thick for comfort). Before the deadlines and closing of accounts insinuate themselves into RL again.
This is like the calm before the storm. And what calm it is.
October, my mom had to be at the hospital. November was Dad's turn. I am seriously rethinking helping them change addresses, y'know. They are already 'regulars', no other word for it. Already, my Mom's getting VIP treatment (stemming from her regular status and her job title). Not that they are sickly. She just works herself to the ground, and one of these days, if she doesn't pace herself, she might as well be working herself UNDERground. My dad...well, that's a different case. As unsavory as this might sound, he got....amoebiasis.
*heckles* Sorry. I know I shouldn't be laughing, but I am. He's laughing, too. Especially when I point out how he has to wear diapers.
OK. Enough humiliation for my old man. I love him to bits.
See, here, this is the resilience I was referring to. I got it from him. For who else would be assailed with such an ailment and still keep laughing...in between bouts of nausea, vomitting and.....you know what else amoebiasis brings.
He's such a trooper about the whole thing. And I'd like to think I got that from him. Among other things.
Two things I don't want to inherit from them, though...Stomach ulcer...and High blood pressure. They are hereditary, right? Both of them have it. I am their only child, the only one to inherit. *face goes white with dread* Holymotherof....*Looks for ways to enjoy life while still young and healthy*
I got an SMS about a fun climb and rappel activity on Nov 30-Dec 1. Blast it. I had earlier plans to go traipsing to Laguna and push my friends underwater in the Rio Grande Rapids at EK. BY THE WAY, if anyone here ever gave the Pagsanjan Falls SHOOTING THE RAPIDS a shot, kindly PM me. Like, NOW.
