Farewell, adieu.

So my mother is now officially retired. Had the party and everything.

More people showed up for it than I would have initially suspected... dear ol' mom has had a bigger impact on people's lives than I would have thought possible. It's weird, though... all these kids who were positively impacted by my mother being a caring and attentive teacher... and then me, who she really didn't pay attention to much at all. Ah well, what're you gonna do.

Anyway, it was good to see my brother... and Kitty (his girlfriend). Had to go through the whole Bonnie-Tracy fiasco AGAIN, but that's okay. I'll get over it one of these years.
{sigh}
Man, I was dumb. Oh well... I'm working on it. Not being dumb, that is... I'm pretty sure Bonnie is a lost cause in the dating department. Still miss her, though.

Kat (my ex) has been doing pretty rough... granddaddy passin' away and all that seems to have really affected (effected?) her. Hope she pulls through, but more so I hope this causes her to start growing up a bit. Doubtful... but whatever. Stranger things have happened, and I hold out hope for her.

Other than that, not much to report. Lots of work to catch up on today, and the Saudi's denied my request to enter their country without signing that passage about giving them the right to execute me at a whim. Not happy about that at all. Probably means I won't be going... I really don't think I'm signing that application. I kinda LIKE being alive, ya know? Maybe it's just me... but I doubt it.

And in other news... no other news. Which is good, I suppose.
