so a lot has happened since my last post.
we made the trek to iowa city late sunday night, and crashed at a hotel. bret, who is a forced diabetic because of his meds that he has to take for his heart adn kidney transplant, had to take his insulin. now he has 2 kinds of insulin. one is lantis, and one is just "insulin" i'm not sure which is which now, but here's the idea. lantis will last him 24 hours, and the insulin he takes when he is eating. so the first one he takes so he doesn't have to worry about his off hours, and the regular one he takes so he can combat what he's going to eat. well he gives himself normally like 10 or 12 mgs of the insulin, and then because he ate the tremendous twelve at perkins he gave himself about 30 to last thru the night. but this night, he accidentally shot up with the wrong insulin. which means he has 30 mgs now going thru his system at 2 in the morning that will peak in the next 2-4 hours. that is BAD. because that's alot to give yourself that late at night when your blood sugar is already low, and stuff. so it starts dive bombing, we're making him drink mt. dews, and pepsis, and eating lots and lots of candy, but now he just throws it up, because after a few hours your body can't take that much candy..we should all know this from past halloween experiences. and it just keeps getting lower, and lower and lower and lower and lower, until finally she ((my sister, his wife)) got him these specific diabetes pure sugar tablets for just something like this. then more candy. and it eventually worked. but it was scary. you can go into a coma if its too low. bad bad bad.
so every hour we checked it from start to finish and needless to say, none of us got sleep. so we were wasted the next day.

but then i met paxton and dani, or who might be referred to as chase from here, for lunch at zio johnos. i had my usual favorite of cheese ravioli, and it was, mmmm spectacular. yum. yum yum yum. so we hung out and just talked and it was awesome. i really missed dani. so we then went to the mall to hang out and well..lol buy things...and i officially bought probably the best smellings stuff i've ever owned. if you wish to see what i smell like, go into bath and bodyworks, and smell Breathe::Romance. its their new line called breathe, but then you get like choices like serenity, something else..dignity..or i don't know. i bought the best one. and it smells great. adn then i bought an awesome shirt at AE for like 7 bucks. very happy about that one. hm..oh oh oh oh oh!!!
and dani for my birthday got me a "all you ever will ever ever ever need to know about batman, seriously" ((titled something else..)) book, and its awesome. it told me there were 2 batgirls, not just loser barbara gordan, pre wheelchair. so i was already impressed, and it gave back ground on like everyone, allies, villians, past lives, romances, etc. etc. it was awesome. and then we played blacklight mini golf which is so much fun ((i still owe paxton 4 dollars dani, don't let me forget)) and i lost. as usual. because i'm horrible at golf. buy my white barbell glowed awesomosity, and it was cool. so then we met up with brets sister lindsey who rode down with us from waterloo and stayed at the hotel as well, she had shown up finally and we found her in AE. so we all hung out, then we found my sister and my brother and we all hung out shopping...sort of my brother shortley left, but oh well lol. and then i had to leave dani and paxton to buy their own clothes because i had to stay with my family lol. so we bid farewell..like 4 times...and i left to find my sister. then lindsey my sister and i were just walking down the hallway and these like 12-15 y/o punk rockers..i'm talking skurvy, bright colors, mohawks, chains lol...came up to us and say "hey do you guys want some cowboys and dinosaurs?" the little plastic ones, and we're like "uh..." and one goes "they're from russia. were from russia" ((of course in a VERY american accent lol...duh.)) so we said okay. well they were from china as printed on the bottom of them and it was funny. the bottom of the toys that is..the bottom of the boys .. i didn't look i don't if it said where they were from. i was thinking in town. lol well then we start to leave and i forgot my cell phone in paxtons mustang, so i call them up and i'm like come back! you have my phone! so they do and i wait for them outside, well somehow they miss me and i miss them, and they wait forever inside for me, and i wait forever outside for them while my sister and lindsey got ice cream at coldstone. we finally meet up, i get my phone, and she says goodbye to me again. *sadness!*
but i got in the car with my sister and, oh man, they got the richest ice cream ever!! twix, brownies, hot fudge, oreos, uhm...m&ms? something else i'm missing too, so we ate as much as we could, gave it to bret to eat, he ate a little...lol. and then we gave the rest to my brother when we stopped by his apartment. we got to leave the hospital at like 10.30 which sucks because i had to still work today at 9.30. but i got a little sleep adn the drive home was full of braking and swerving for animals. and i got home safely to the greatest dog in the world. her face was puffy and we didn't know why, we assumed it was a allergic reaction..maybe she eated the purple berries!
i go to bed, and wake up sooo early ughhh...and i got to work without a shower, or without washing my clothes from working last saturday. i don't really give a crap because i'm going to be smelly when i come back anyway..but work was slow, and i learned how to use the deep fat fryers adn make chicken orders. i burned my hand, i'd say badly, its small but hurts like a [insert something very painful here] still. burned my hand again, not so badly this time, just a red mark. burned my arm..same idea with the red mark, BURNED MY NECK...lol grease spit at me so now i have a nickel sized red spot on my neck, and other little circles. i said "ow! ugh!!! the chicken fryer hates me!!!" and nate a manager, goes "did you really just say that??" "well yeah..it burned me 4 times..i just wanted to be friends..." "heck four?! lol you're fine. you're doing better than anyone else who trains on that. don't be worried about four burns. lol you're already a pro". which i laughed at. it was still slow, and then i clocked out at 2, ate my free lunch, headed home and looked at the doggie again who still has a swollen face from last night...
well bret woke up and said that andy had done something like really really painful to his toenail or something so when he came over to check on the dog she stepped on it adn he "squeezed her real hard he was so mad he didn't know what to do"...or...aka, punched her in the face. we're all kinda pissed about it..he has minor anger mgmnt problems..so that was sad, so we played with her all day, and gave her lots of treats and stuff, and she's the best dog in the world.
then i took a shower, boiled my clothes in acid, and fell asleep on the couch. lol. so now my hair has dried wierd and i need to straighten it because i might go into town to get some food..since there isn't alot here. so you should all call my phone tonight because its tuesday which means mens group which means i won't be here alot because its boring to stay downstairs. maybe i'll just watch a movie or something.. i don't know.
oh! and lindsey bought me batman bandaids! they are awesome. thanx to my burns, i've used like 4! wahoo!
