Wow this week has been absolutely insane. I tried to make up all the work i had missed when i was sick, and then i hopped on a plane and flew home. Where i was instantly met with lots of (emotional) stress from most of my family members. the next night mary got in. It was so wonderful seeing her, and i was having a super tough time. I just ran up to her at the airport and cried and cried and cried. Its so hard leaving sisters, it really is. She leaves tomorrow and that is difficult, too.
Today was our church's General Conference. The talks were great, but i only heard half of them because today was a day of great unrest and lots of fighting. Mom made us a waffle breakfast which was a pleasant surprise and also cooked us meatloaf (which i haven't had in so long) along with scalloped potatoes, biscuits, and some broccoli. It was a way good meal and we had some great cupcakes for dessert.
Now i am on a food fast for half a day until i get this (ANOTHER) insane blood test where they bleed you every 30 seconds and see how sugar is reacting in your body. or something like that.
In other news, i got my hair cut yesterday. I like it. I needed change but i couldn't dye it and i couldn't cut it short. Thus:

me with jordan

i got these puppies. it's growing on me. its different and a little bit of a nuisance but it also is kind of edgy and a great look for fall, so i'll take all those things.
Monday (tomorrow) i have that blood appointment and another appointment with this hematologist.  then on tuesday i have an appointment with an endocrinologist. wah :(
Oh and yesterday we went to Northpark and saw "Catfish." It's an extremely poignant documentary that kind of surprises you. I really loved it, the main guy was a doll and the way in unravels is really quite wonderful. Afterwards we watched ballet in the middle of the mall for a while and then went and did some shopping. I, however, did not buy anything. Oh wait, yes i did, I got an ipod. My bad.
For dinner my dad and i split Thai Mango (but we each got our own dessert sticky rice, durr) and the rest of the fam got taco bell as per mary's request.
Oh and i totally forgot about friday. Antoinette and I met up after a doctor's appointment of mine and we ate Mi Cocina (always a delight). Then we went and got our eyebrows threaded. Not as painful as i thought it would be, but getting hair ripped out of your body will always hurt to some degree. Afterwards we got some starbucks (which was a refreshing break and made me happy). After she left i took a nap on the couch and roschti perched herself on my chest and we fell asleep together. So happy.
Also yesterday for lunch we at Mico again. Ayyyyye.
Anyway, i'm here until tuesday night so we'll see what else happens while i'm here. I kind of miss my friends in Utah.
