To try and cheer myself up a little bit, I decided to text Dream, because he's a good time when you need a good old belly laugh after a shitty time, (though he's good time without needing a good old belly laugh).

Yeah just to let you know Gaylord, I'm actually no longer living in birth giver's crib...

💓Softie💓
Oh Honey, what happened? xx

🍩Laceybuns🍩
You know how Dad's birthday was while we were at Lava Springs and I felt really bad about it...

💓Softie💓
Shit, this sounds bad Laceybuns...

🍩Laceybuns🍩
So I went to his grave after school and I had told birth giver this and you wanna know what the bitch said to me?!

💓 Softie💓
I don't think that I do but tell me anyway because that's what besties do xx

🍩Laceybuns🍩
She basically called me a fucking liar!, called me! an irresponsible person! even though she was the one that ran out on her kids for 11 and a half fucking years! and then! (Yes, there's more!), she proceeded to lie to my face about the living situation!

💓Softie💓
Just tell me that you didn't get wet because you were out in the rain or something like that Laceybuns

🍩Laceybuns🍩
Sorry Gaylord, I can't, since I am a flower child and I attract rain when I'm in a shit mood or a fantastic mood, I'll text you later xx

💓 Softie💓
Ok Lesbo, text ya later xx

I finished getting dressed, praying that the day couldn't get any worse, which it actually didn't, I know, what a shock!, (like literally, like for once I'm not being sarcastic here, ya know).

However, I woke up 2am the following morning, with a banging headache and a craving for an Indian takeout, which Albuquerque doesn't have, (because of course it wouldn't, since that would've been way too convenient for me).

But instead of just going back to bed, (though that would've been the healthiest thing for my mental health here to be honest), I decided that I was gonna try and make my own Indian takeaway, which went well at first but then I burnt myself on the saucepan, which woke Grandma up, (don't worry, I did put my hand under cold water).

"Mierda me quemé! (Shit I burnt myself in Spanish)"
"Lacey"
"oh mierda, abuela (oh shit Grandma in Spanish)"
"I can't understand a word you're saying"
"Me quemé y a veces cuando me levanto a las 2 de la mañana me olvido de hablar en inglés (I burnt myself and sometimes when I wake up at 2am I forget to speak English: in Spanish)"
"Uh?"
"Sorry!, shit, I burnt myself and sometimes I forget to translate myself back into English"

Yeah, my Grandma was definitely concerned about me, it was written all over her face, so I felt really bad about it afterwards but I couldn't really do anything about it, (I think that she was concerned because I tried to switch to speaking English like 2 or 3 times before I was actually successful in doing so).

"Oh, did you run the burn under cold water?"
"I did yeah"
"Good, let me see"
"Ok"

So I showed Grandma where I burned my arm, as she did have a medical background, (if that made any sense to you, it might not though).

"It doesn't look too bad, just don't go cooking anything any time soon"
"I won't"
"What made you try to in the first place?"
"I wanted some Indian takeout but they don't have any here so I tried to make some myself"
"Oh Lacey Lou, why didn't you just say?"
"Because I just woke up now and wanted it"
"Ah, ok, that makes sense Lacey Lou"

So after that whole fiasco, Grandma put me back to bed, (even though I knew that I would not sleep that much that night after the whole ass drama of me burning my hand for some Indian food), and so I just stared at the ceiling for a while as there wasn't much else that I could do here, ya know.

Eventually I did get back to sleep and all, (I couldn't tell you what time I did fall asleep but I don't think that it's that much of an important detail here, ya know Babes).

So Dad and I were eating breakfast, (Savannah was still asleep not surprisingly), and I had just turned 9, (I don't know why I know that).

"Daddy"
"Yeah Baby"
"Where do babies come from?"
"Uh?, well, a baby is made when 2 people love each other a whole lot"
"Then why did make us with you if she didn't want to be a Mom?"
"(Sighs), I don't know Baby, what I do know is that if I had the chance to do it over, I would not change a single thing?"
"Why?"
"Because I got my girls out of it"
