Update on Dad
Just letting you guys know that the surgery was successful. It went much faster than expected with no complications. The doctors said that it couldn’t have gone better.
I want to thank everyone for all their prayers, well wishes and support. Not just here, but everywhere. All over the world people came together to offer their love and support to us. And we felt it. I felt it. And it...

Dad
He’s going to be in surgery from 6-8 hours today. I’m going to the hospital at seven to see him before he goes in. He’s in good spirits and has confidence in his doctors.
There are some serious risks, but the odds are in his favor. I hope six months from now we will be able to look back on this and it will all be a horrible memory.
I’m holding on to hope that it will...
Hey y'all
Dad is having his surgery early tomorrow morning. Please say some prayers for him or send him good vibes. And send some my way too. I’m a little anxious.

Oh and there's a lizard parked up on the curtain.

The wifi in my new bedroom sucks
I have a more powerful router, but trying to install it tonight was what fucked up the connection on my computer in the first place. So I will just have to deal. Shiteous.
Linksys does NOT play well with Macs.
I guess I have to go see The Artist now...
My laptop is an asshole.
But I finally got it to connect. I have no idea what I did. Some hocus pocus.
Whatever man. It’s working.

I just turned the tv on and saw Octavia Spencer’s Oscar acceptance speech. Honestly it was more of a whimper than a speech. She was so genuinely shocked. It brought tears to my eyes to see her gratitude. “Wrap up, wrap up, I know I’m sorry I’m freaking out I’m sorry, thank you!.”
She was adorable.
Moving right along
My arms and my back are feeling sore today. I moved out a lot of stuff yesterday, most notably a couch that one of my friends bought from me. We had to transport it to his house and lift it high enough not to scratch a car that was parked in his driveway. It wasn’t terribly heavy but it weren’t no bag of groceries neither.
I’ve done nothing this morning but watch crap on...

These Dreams
I was doing something (probably moving or packing related) today and this dream I had years ago flashed through my head.
I was living in Europe, I think it was Italy, and I was walking up the stairs to this quaint attic apartment I shared with another girl. We were both students although I was puzzled because I wasn’t in my 20’s in the dream. I was happy though. I looked good too,...

I’m wondering why they opted to do their apartment shopping on tv? I mean, I dunno, I always figured that buying a house on tv would be a little low brow for the millionaire crowd. Then again there are tv shows that specifically showcase multi million properties. Maybe I’m overthinking this.
I will totally audition for House Hunters when I buy my house in Europe though.

Ideas?
Trying to come up with a name for a restaurant. Eclectic, variety of cuisines, somewhat sophisticated but not terribly expensive, fusion of Asian and Caribbean decor. Something catchy in one or two syllables.
Any ideas?
Hey E.T.'s on tv!
So’s a bunch of other stuff I’ve seen before. I’m flipping through.
I realize I’m terrible at remembering details from movies. People will relate dialogue, names of characters and scenarios to me and I’ll be like Whuuuuuut? It’s as if I never watched it. I remember endings that I completely fabricated in my head. I’ve come to realize that when it comes...
Temporary
One of the reasons I feel very apprehensive about moving back into my parents’ house is because it is not an emotionally healthy atmosphere for me.
My parents are what I would consider emotional infants. They have never learnt to deal with conflict, frustration and anger in a healthy way. My father will raise his voice, hurl cuss words and occasionally become violent when he is angry. My...
So six slices of bacon later guess who realises...
Yeah this chicky right here. Oh well bacon and pancakes it is. And coffee.
And hot guys helping me move. Not a bad deal at all.

mission accomplished
The objective? Get enough rest and sleep in guilt free.
Kinda got it even though I woke up with a start at 7am and had to talk myself back to sleep which took about an hour. But it’s late and I just woke up again so good stuff.
Now to shower, dress, and eat ALL THE BACON.

pretty much too much
I’ve not been posting much lately because I’ve been feeling pretty overwhelmed. My friends visiting for carnival are still here so that means that aside from recovering from our celebrations, we are trying to squeeze every last bit out of their visits. So I’m going out a lot more than normal. And I’m a bit tired.
I’m also in the process of moving back into my...

Lust,Caution
I’ve been hanging out a lot with one of my exes lately. He’s here visiting for Carnival. We had an on/off relationship a few years back (four? five?) but have maintained a really good friendship.
But of course, it’s Carnival. With soca music and wining and gyrating and alcohol. And temptation. I’m surprised actually. I’d thought we were past that. Apparently not....
I need to take a break from this place for the day
Its been pissing me off since yesterday.
Maybe it’s my lady time.
Maybe I should go eat something to uncrankify myself.
But I’m outta here. I’m going to a pool party today.

Notes on Carnivel 2012
I had a real bess j’ouvert. It will most likely be my last for a couple of years so I’m glad I spent it with my best friends.
I can’t believe some of the clothes (or really lack thereof) that people were wearing for j’ouvert. Like seriously women. Have just a lil modesty nuh.
I met the internet!
Ah could real wine. Ah certified now.
I enjoyed the music this year....

I am starting to feel slightly apprehensive about packing up my life and moving to a new country. I keep rolling over in my mind all the things that could go wrong. What if I can’t find enough work to sustain me? What if I can’t adjust? What if I’m just too old for this?
I’m working again and doing well. I’m afraid I might be throwing away something good and...

I have been here over a year and still feel hesitant on commenting.
Me too. For me it was just fear… of rejection, being ignored, having someone be mean to me. But in all honesty I’ve never had anyone be anything but nice to me here, not even a mean anon. So I’ve started to be a bit more brave.

I have no idea when I lose followers. I rarely ever check the number. My followers matter to me but if you don’t wanna follow it’s cool. My self esteem will remain intact. This blog is for me. You’re bonus.
Over time I’ve realised that it’s more important to me if I have a small group of people that I have some sort of interaction with than a ton of followers that I...

Past face
I was at my parents’ house today moving some of my stuff back in and I came across an old photo album I kept from when I first started college. Some of the photos had captions and it’s funny how I could read them and see the lack of confidence I had back then. I was trying to be funny and sarcastic, but it just came across and slightly aggressive and insecure. But that’s the girl...
