What a week. Seriously. I don't really know where to begin.
I guess I'll start with my brother. He made his way to New Braunfels to attend his aunt's funeral (we're half brothers) and ended up staying for a few weeks. But, after a while, he started to have problems getting along with his cousin, Jesse. As my brother tells it, Jesse threatened him with a knife. So, my brother did the logical thing by tackling him and then beating the shit out of him. Appropriate, as always, that brother of mine. In a nutshell, he was kicked out, had only enough bus fare to bring him to San Antonio, and is now staying with me until I can send him back to Lamesa. He's not a bad house guest, necessarily, other than not having a penny to his name and a voracious appetite.
Then, on the same day, I get a mass text from my ex that reads as follows: "Hey guys. I just thought that you should know that my dad's death wasn't accidental. He was strangled. Please keep me in your thoughts."
Such a sad thing. For a while before the break up, my ex's father disappeared. He sold his house, changed his number, and left with some fundy Christian lady named Rosemary. So this was just creepy and so so sad...I feel terrible for him. Both of his parents are gone now. He said he was having a hard time with it. I told him to call whenever he needed to but I've not heard from him. I can't imagine what he must be going through.
As if that weren't enough, my Jewish friend from Mexico has been having some severe stomach problems for the past month...by severe I mean terrible diarrhea....for ONE MONTH, 10-15 times a day, everday. She went to the doctor and they gave her an antibiotic which seemed to ease the symptoms a little. Now, they're back worse than ever and this time there's lots of blood. She's having tests done and she said she'd let me know what happens. I'm worried.
SO, I hope next week is a bit more uneventful....
