Weak Week

SO this week is supposed to be Halloween. Supposed to be a fun weekend, filled with fun and possible debauchery? Nope
You would think finding a costume and going to parties would be at the top of the list for my rooommates and friends. Yes, you would think that sounds like fun.
But I failed in tempting even one friend to find a costume to join me in fun. Their reply to my plead, "Nah man, nobody's dressing up. I don't wanna sit around at the house in a costume if there's nothing to do."
Nothing to do?
Ha. I scoff at your comments. There is always fun to be had. Throughout the week I attempt to look forward to the weekend as a sort of mini-vacation. This vacation was dull, true, but I was able to eat dinner with my little sister, Juliana, and my parents for my mothers birhday on Friday night. That was a plus, as the pasta-chicken dish from Chianti's was awesome. What a great treat, going out to eat with my family. I haven't seen my little sister in weeks, her new freshman experience pulls her away from Shreveport and keeps her situated in Ruston. She's very busy and hardly answers the phone except to ask me questions.
"What's a good costume idea for this party?How should I study for this test? Do you think I should go to this date party with this guy?"
That last one's easy, NO.
That's right, I'm super protective and I try to shield here from any and every male in her vicinity. It's because I love her. I don't want her around those animals.
Well my weekend is coming to a conclusion, and I am struggling to find something to occupy my time.
I did play Emergency Response Thursday evening. My mom was on the phone with her mother and said she heard a shout and a loud bump. She called me and said she believed my grandmother had fallen. She was spot-on.
I rushed to my grandparents just as the ambulance was backing into the driveway. We built a handicap ramp for her last weekend, and it's eerily convenient that the EMS crew could use it to put her on the gurney and wheel her out. Strange but true.
My grandmother is ok, just some minor bruising. Hopefully she'll take better care of herself.
Overall I have no complaints. We'll see what this week has in store for me.
