Choosing Feelings

My family can’t keep the days straight right now. I keep thinking it’s Wednesday, my mom keeps thinking it’s Thursday or Friday. Last night I was on the phone with Kenny, and thought I had left him an update voice mail the day before. Nope, left it that morning. The days feel so long.

I can’t figure out how to react. Earlier today I put the ‘good’ of ‘good news’ in quotations. Turns out that was an appropriate decision. The family member in the hospital’s status is very much day-to-day. Parts of the news is good, parts of the news isn’t. It’d be easier if the not so good news would stop.

Twitter friend told me it’s natural to not know how to react. Made me realize this is the first time dealing with this. When it was the elder members of the family, that was acceptable. Was expected. This is not.

I guess it’s day-to-day on the emotions. Suckfest.
