Fat camp

I was home when I found a large bowl of candy: Starbursts, Tootsie Rolls, 3 Musketeers, Milky Ways, M&Ms... All the good stuff. I sat down on the couch to start snacking while watching TV. A commercial came on for a fat camp for kids. I was watching them run all around the playground when I recognized the location as our local elementary school. I hid the candy behind my back and called my youngest brother to come see it. "Look! It's **** Elementary."

Suddenly, I was laying on my front porch overlooking the playground and kids. Two young boys came up to me, and I was talking to them. My brother came out and then went back inside only to come back out dressed as a policeman. I laughed and asked, "You went inside to get into your police costume?" He ignored me and told the kids to ask me what I was hiding behind my back.

Hellooooo Nurse!

I went to my brother's room and saw his legs. They were grossly swollen, red, and scaly. I bent down and made him let me examine them. I told him it looked like he had cellulitis and that he needed to go to the doctor now. He refused, saying he had to go see his fiance. I asked why he was going to meet this girl when he needed to go to the doctor. He got angry and started carrying on about how our family doesn't give her a chance. He mentions in passing that she's 31 years old (he's 22), and I mutter under my breath, "No wonder she's in such a hurry."

My mom has an IV that needs to be taken out. I tell her I'll do it and grab some paper towels to use as gauze. She looks at me uncertainly and says, "Maybe you should get someone." I'm slightly offended as I've done it a million times and that it is easy to take an IV out. Her IV was placed on her nose, and I untape it and place the paper towel over the IV site before pulling out the little catheter. Even though I'm holding pressure, the site bleeds profusely and blood is getting everywhere. It finally stops, and I let go of her nose. I get some moisturizer, and she asks for some. I ask her why did the other nurse put the IV in her nose, and my mom says it's because it's the best spot. I disagree and begin pointing out all the better sites on my arm.

I was hanging out at home with several friends at my house. The house was a mess - bare rooms and stripped walls. I told my friends that we were remodeling to cover the truth that it always looked like this.

I then had to go shopping because I had nothing to wear. I went to the mall and went into store after store, but I couldn't find anything. Suddenly a group of guys with guns were chasing me, and I ducked around a corner to hide from them. When I looked back, I saw an old woman threatening a younger woman.

We went inside, but there was no stylist available for me. My brother, sister, and her boyfriend were sitting inside. They made fun of my clothes. I decided to look for a dress there for the formal since all the people I knew from high school would be there. At least I could be dressed nicely. While walking through the store I would pass cheerleading and wrestling exhibitions put on by kids in black uniforms. I didn't find any dress that I liked. My mom showed up and tried to help me look, but she kept pulling out these old lady dresses and pastel, flowery prints. I said that I didn't want to be that person that everybody was going to laugh at. I was close to tears, and she asked me why I cared so much what I looked like to these people since I wasn't going to live there. I said that I didn't know where I was going to live, and that maybe I would be living there. She said, "Well, they're just going to be living next to you." We headed back toward the salon, and my mom started singing "I'll Be Home for Christmas" in a funny, Kermit voice. A guy standing nearby laughed, and I wiped a tear from cheek.
