Oh What A Day

Oh man this has not been a fun day at all. I woke up early because I needed to babysit. The first thing I do is check my phone. (Aren't we all guilty of this?) Anyways, there was a fb message from my friend Aly's best friend. She told me that Aly was in the ER because she had tried to overdose a couple of hours before. I'm pretty sure my heart literally stopped for a minute. I panicked, and suddenly all of these flashbacks from the past just kept hitting me. (I lost my best friend to suicide in High School.) Thankfully she is okay and that's the important thing, but man that was scary.

So then I go to babysit. Lyra and I are watching Netflix when all of a sudden she tells me her ear hurts. We get her the children's ibuprofen and sit back down. Then she starts crying, harder and harder to the point where she is practically hyperventilating. Not knowing what else to do, I called her mom at work. Next thing you know, we are going to pick her up and going to the ER. Poor Lyra could barely even get to the car, and my heart was breaking for this poor kid. We were there for what seemed like ages, and the diagnosis was an ear infection and possible inflamed tonsils. They gave her medicine and she seems her regular doctor on Monday.

After this long day, I went to go see Mike. Tried to talk to him about some things, but he kinda shut down as always. I told him that we need to figure things out because I really want to make this work. He says he does too but doesn't even know how to figure out his own life, let alone anything else. I told him that I understand that he has so much going on, and I'm not expecting him to just fix things. All I'm asking is for him to try to be more understanding and such of my shit too as well as his. He promised he would do his best, so hopefully we're on the right track there.

Then I came home and took a three hour nap because I was so exhausted. Hopefully it won't mess up my sleep tonight. Whew what a day. Can it be over yet?
