Man oh man
My body aches and my brain hurts. I've been fueled by substandard sleep and burned coffee. I am headed for a crash if I am not careful. This weekend: hibernation. Not leaving the house or getting dressed on Sunday if I can help it.
Well, my mother left. Cumulatively, she was here for seven weeks. What's that? Oh, no--that's no misprint, here let me tell you again: SEVEN WEEKS. Holy crap. In her wake, she has left the house in a pretty wrecked state and approximately seven projects half-done. Hmm, that's like one project per week! Great! All that said, I cried when leaving her at the airport. Emotionally, I am split between wanting to protect and take care of her and wanting her to take care of me. She is the simply the most incredibly procrastinating, biggest starter-and-never-finishin', ice-cream-eatin', used-tissue-leaving, slobbiest mcslobster I have ever had the pleasure of sharing my adult home with. And I love her to pieces.
I just hope I got a few more of my father's genes.

oh wait
Oh yeah I also went to Athens for the first time ever. Walked around with sister, shopped, ate, etc. Nobody told me how cheap the drinks were until we got BACK. Thanks.
It's come to my attention that I haven't posted in 10 days. Here is what has happened during the hiatus:
1. Went to a party last Saturday night, I didn't get laid, I got in a fight. Uh huh, it ain't no big thing. Okay, starting over:
1. Went to a couple parties last weekend, had an unbelievable steak that I could have cut with the side of my fork oh my god it was so good.
2. With horrible hangover ranging, went with sister to Braves game. Had large hot dog and soda the size of my head. Sat in the shade. Tried not to throw up. We won. Yay. Afterwards, watched a group of high school boys perform a mini drum-line. Incredible. I see talent like that and the whole ghetto gangsta shit just makes me so mad, what a waste.
3. Mother came back into town, house began to disintegrate once again. Put sister on plane Wednesday, one down, one to go. Tell myself I can make it until Thursday (when Mum leaves).
4. Mum tells me she is staying another week. I restrain every atom of my being to NOT FLIP THE FUCK OUT. Drinking intake exponentially increases, state of house begins to further disintegrate.
5. Take Basic Accounting and Finance course as part of my compensation certification process. Feels like a preview into grad school. I like it. Mum begins to start picking up after herself and tidying up the house. My world is blown.
6. Go to Weezer concert. Great show, haven't felt a vibe like that since shows in Austin. Hot as fuck in the venue, just sweated and smiled. Hang out until dawn with a friend, playing music and shooting the shit. Ran around in the rain.
7. Watched Hotel Rwanda, cried a lot. Emotionally overwhelming. Then Undertow. Beautifully filmed. Then Supersize Me. I like that guy.
That's it. Hope you feel caught up and satisfied. Oh, today. Today everyone is a fucking asshole. Except you.

busy brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
I've got a lot of stuff going on right now. I just had to scribble everything down on a post-it so I would remember everything. Between now and Sunday, there are 8 appointments/events I must keep/attend. It makes me feel like I am driving fast without my seatbelt on.
Also, my boss just left. Very tempted to leave early. Actually, it wouldn't even be since I stayed late yesterday. And the day before. Hmm.
LATERS!
Before I go, a shout-out to my friend K for the Braves vouchers. You rock. I told my sister I had a surprise for her for Sunday, and she was like what is it? And I said, it's a surprise. And she said, is it a Braves game? And I said (quietly), yessss. But she was really excited, since she's never been to one, so I don't care as much about her blowing the surprise.
Hey, would you like to hear that story again? Anyway, thanks K.

Getting blotto at Le Campanard
Here is a pic of my sis, fellow PCV Tracy, and me at a bar in Bamako last September. We were pre-drunk here. Later, Leah would throw up, I would become hysterical thinking I had lost all my cash and passport, and a gigantic rainstorm would crash all around us for two hours.
Today I will start off on a new foot with Leah. I know that if we continue this sullen teenager-grumpy parent routine the entire time she is here, we will both soon regret it. So I came in at dawn-thirty so I can go home earlier and spend time with her.
I think we'll drink--it is, after all, the classic Quin family pasttime.

Family Ties
Here's a lovely Spring pic of my mum, sister Leah, and me sitting outside for Sunday lunch. They are here for an extended visit.
I'm ready to kill them both.
