Yesterday I came home and sat down and got all cozy and was going to start doodling when I picked up my stylus for my Wacom and realized something was terribly wrong, my stylus was too long.... As in...someone had pulled it apart, it was broke.

My $80 stylus for my tablet was DESTROYED. My fiance's bro and his gf and two boys are staying with us right now as they take care of some loose ends here in Idaho before they go back to Oregon. The two boys must of gotten a little to curious or something, but in the madness they ended up pulling my stylus apart. I had them both sit down as I scolded them for a good 20 minutes about how that stylus is a key tool to my life.... that if they wanted to see they should of asked, and when it broke they should of TOLD somebody rather than let me just FIND it that way and have me get so mad. I then had them start doing every single chore that I could think of, and not letting play with the new toys they just got from the store e___e;;

So now I'm in hiatus until I can get a new stylus in.

Today while I was at work I got a phone call....bro and family were in the car driving along when all of a sudden BOOM, tree fell on top of their car.

Sounds ridiculous, ya? Well it really does, but here's the full scoop. Driving by a field that had been previously had the ditches and what not burned the other day, had neglected to ensure that all the embers were completely OUT. The fire had started smoldering the inside of a 100 ft tall tree. Luck would have it that just as they were driving by the tree fell over and collided into their windshield. He swerved the car to the side to help keep it from completely crushing the entire family. They are now in ER waiting treatment.

I get this call at about 3pm. I call Richard to let him know what happened and to have him get off work an hour early so that I can take my car to him, go to the hospital, pick up the kids and take them home until we knew what was going on. At about 4:15 I arrive at the hospital. He is STILL sitting their fucking waiting. His hands are CRUSHED, splayed open and BLEEDING all over the fucking place. He is a hemophiliac (for those of you who don't know what that is, its a condition where the person's blood doesnt clot properly on their own. They require special treatment to keep from bleeding to death.) Now....I understand that hospitals are busy places and they have a lot of shit going down, but I honestly was completely APPALLED by the lack of professionalism here. Thank god the kids were ok because seriously this would of been so much more traumatic for them had they needed care. His girlfriend has an injury to her leg, the doctor maybe spend a max of two minutes with her before having her go out the door, no pain meds or anything. It's now after midnight and she is STILL pulling out glass shards from her arm and leg. They did finally get his hands bandaged up, but the fact that when I got there they were still completely open?
It was pretty gross, I won't lie. His left hand broken with dried blood/gravel and what not stuck to it, his right hand he had his index and ring finger completely splayed down from the knuckle down to the finger tip, you could see the bones in his second knuckles. His thumb was swollen and scratched and it seriously looked just down right awful. I'm honestly surprised they didnt need to do surgery. He lucked out, as his tendons are frayed but not severed. The few nurses that dealt with them through out the ordeal argued with them, first about his gf trying to explain why not to call the exhusband in to get the kids, next about his previous dealings with his needed shots of factor (a blood clotting agent), and just the sheer rudeness about it all. I've made a mental note to not ever let anyone take me to this hospital if I ever need help. After all this crazyness I got to go back to work haha; oh my goodness so tired. u_u;;;

In the end everything turned out ok, it could of been so much worse. The kids were so fortunate to walk away without a scratch. Her leg is gonna hurt like a bitch but will mend ok, and despite his hands being completely useless for awhile (he's a computer programmer, so much for coding haha;;;;;)....it really turned out alright. I just.....can't comprehend someone being so careless with their property.

....I hope that they can get a good settlement out of the deal, if nothing else to replace their car, pay the hospital bills and take care of any other random debts that may accrue from this. I am annoyed that someone wasn't paying attention to their own property and let something like that happen to their own trees, let alone the fact that it just HAPPENED to fall while someone was driving by. What kind of freaking luck is that?!

Tomorrow I'm gonna go car searching with Richard to get him a new vehicle since we've been meaning to do that anyway. I will also need to locate his bro's totaled car and grab any belongings and what not. I will also need to get a new stylus T_T; that will probably have to be purchased online however since nobody just sells those seperately in stores. I have a hell of a migraine and I'm tired....so I'm going to bed.
