Getting a little personal
I know that I normally blog about things that are less personal, but I felt the need today to simply vent. Let me start with my weekend. I received a call from my baby sister that a group of guys went to my brothers get together uninvited and when they were asked to leave the guys pulled a knife, jumped my brothers, and split one of my brother's face open like Joker from batman. Had his friend not come outside the assailants would most like have killed him. My other brother was beat up and had his wrist sliced blocking a guy from trying to cut his throat.
After all this and me running down there to be with them, I returned home to Houston to find out from my doctor that she believes I have arthritis at 28 years old. I am so exhausted mentally and physically I don't know how exactly I am going to pay attention in class this week.

Wow! That's terrible, Lisa. I'm so sorry. Violence not only affects those directly attacked, but their loved ones also. Please take care of yourself.
