Monday night my roomie and former Domestic Partner told me about a job opportunity he saw in San Francisco, California; he wanted to know if he should apply, since we would undoubtedly move together; we are commited to each other domestically; we're a team. We discussed possibly moving to California after the election, but I didn't expect this so soon; I told him to go for it though. It's weird, exciting, scary, and a ton of other things...just thinking about it.

Later I called my Grandmother and she told me that my Dad is staying at the University of Michigan Hospital (a few blocks from our condo). She'd known for a week but hadn't told me. He jumped off of a parker garage in Ann Arbor; broke his pelvis and he's staying on the psych ward. I visited him Tuesday night and he seemed more coherent than the last time I spoke with him. My father is schizophrenic, and so he has good days and bad days. I rarely see him; this visit was the first time in at least a year and a half, even though he only lives about 15 minutes away from me (by car). I worry about him, but there's so much...stuff between us. He's not like my dad; he's like this guy who resembles the father I knew. But I don't want him to suffer or be sad/depressed. I hope he gets what he needs. I'm sure I'll be visiting him fairly regularly while he stays in the hospital though.

Yesterday my younger sister Jamie turned 21 years old; I called her & wished her happy birthday.

It's Thanksgiving today; Jamie was actually born on Thanksgiving in 1983. She was the most beautiful little girl; and I was her favorite ;-0) I'm supposed to go to my Grandmother's today and then get a ride from someone there to my job in Ann Arbor, but it's been snowing and the roads are probably bad. I want to go to my Grandmother's to see everyone; to teach my cousin Christopher how to play Euchre, and give Jamie a hug, and give an update on my dad to everybody, but if I do I won't get any sleep. If I stay home I won't have a ride to work though, as Mark will have the car and be in Toledo with his family. This sucks. He said he might cancel though and if he did that would be great for me; I could see my Grandmother and everybody; get some sleep; go to work...blah blah blah... I'm off.
