i promised myself i'd try to check in on fridays

it's been an absolute shit week.  and it really doesn't end for me until next week.  and then I will be heading out on a plane to sunny California (which is good) to visit my dad (which is also good) and then flying back again (with my mom on the same flight, also good) so that we can do christmas.  If I make it that far.
