Trainwreck update.

Her three sons drove to her place in the middle of the night, and convinced her to go to the hospital.

She makes me so angry, because about four other people tried to get her to go to the hospital this past weekend, and she wouldn't go. Nope. Just locked herself in her suite saying she'd rather die alone.

I don't doubt that she would have died before too long. Being very jaundiced, vomiting, and incoherent means that her liver is shutting down.

What makes me angry, is that even when she could be dying, she's manipulative. I knew that what she wanted was for her sons to come see her. So, she literally risked dying than just go to the hospital with any of the other people who wanted her to go.

Her sons live a few hours away, don't have a lot of money for taking time off of work or travel, and two of them have families. They do visit her several times a year. It's just never enough for Trainwreck.

So, she got her way, and the cavalry rolled in to save her.

She was in very bad shape. I'm not saying she wasn't. It's just that anyone else would have just TAKEN THEMSELVES to the hospital like a damn adult, not created a whole week's worth of drama that shook up everyone she knows who was worried about her. Locking herself in her suite and not letting anyone in, then letting it be obvious that she was very, very sick but not allowing anyone to help her. Just basking in the attention of everyone standing outside her window and door begging her to get help. Letting her friend John cry himself dry trying to help her.

Honestly, it's such a load of bullshit. Addicts are the most selfish damn people.

So, she's in a hospital in the closest small city, and that's all I know. Her kids are exhausted, they went back to her suite to throw out all the hoarded rotten food she's been stockpiling (and she can't eat, so why is she buying it in the first place?). Then they had to drive several hours to go home, and they missed a day's work, etc.

So there you go. Another dramatic event to keep her believing that people care.

Wednesday, August 7

Today I am grateful for;

The cooler weather. It actually feels like autumn, but Shhhh.

We had a little cloudburst with more moisture.

Texting with family, and Trainwreck is resting in the hospital, and she now has a room. I hope she stays there, and doesn't check herself out.

I spoke with Sister E for a while, about other topics. Apparently there's a fair of some kind going on in her town, with equestrian driving classes and the RCMP musical ride.

I went to see River, we had our lesson today. It felt a bit all over the place. We worked on something I want to do for the "something fun you can do with your horse" mystery class, and we got...something.

It's not polished, just kind of a seed of an idea.

Then the pattern that I have been working on...well, we couldn't record it today because that's an outdoor pattern and the outdoor arena is too wet to use. We were indoors, so R just throws out a different pattern to try...one we tried a while ago and couldn't get, so WHY NOT JUST TRY IT COLD WITH NO PRACTICE. Yeah. Well.

It went not so great. We didn't get a worthwhile effort, so there you go.

Felt kind of a waste of a lesson, to be honest.

Then I came home and let everyone out, and tried to pick as many raspberries as I could.

I talked to my Sweetie, and he says a guy from the safety class who lives in the area (thus has a car) took him for a drive to show him some of the steel refineries and such. They're not right in Toronto, but an industrial area outside of it, that's where his hotel is and everything.

They were able to drive by Niagra Falls, and got a good look at it. My husband says he didn't want to get out and do the tourist thing because it was so crazy crowded today.
