I was so psyched on the drive home from work

I hit almost all the lights green and made it in like 6 minutes: that almost never happens. I didn't even get boxed in by slo-pokes! Yes sir, I'm living the charmed life, you betcha

I have a hard time being a grown up too.

Plus, being the grown-up now I have to keep on top of my parents' health and what not. My mom has to have heart surgery again in a couple days and I've been doing the whole "what are your life support wishes...things" while trying to be nonchalant. Mom is sickly and has been for like the last 10 years. But she's her own worst enemy - she will make a big production out of "there's nothing there I can eat" or "this place is perfect" then nibble of everyone else's plates, so she might've as well ordered french fries and nachos right off the bat
