I really try not to "bitch" about my family problems. Maybe it's not actually "family" problems more than "my" own problems! My life has become consumed with "doing" for others (namely my clients and that's my job)......but also my Mom. Now this doesn't bother me, even if she does need more help from her family then most people her age. But maybe not.......maybe I just think so. She'll be 80 the end of this month and has more things wrong with her than anyone her age or younger should have to experience.......all at the same time! You know she broke her hip last August and was diagnosed with Lung Cancer last May. Along with that she is a Type 2 Diabetic, has a really screwed up back (she has one of those humps, not huge, but there) consisting of crushed vertebrae and such, a not-so-good ticker (triple by-pass in 2001), neuropathy in her feet (constant pain to the point her feet are sort of numb but she can ...318 days ago
Another year is upon us...... I know, I'm a little late in wishing everyone a Happy New Year not to mention Merry Christmas! It just came so quickly and was gone just as quickly! My holidays were pretty much un-eventful, but that's okay. I was more than happy to just get thru them this year. We had such crummy weather, snow days, that it really put me behind on work. Had to make up days on my Saturdays off! That was annoying all by itself. So I never really got into the spirit of things! But now it's back to normal.....as normal as it can be I suppose. I'm spending the day inside due to the weather....again. If you don't know, the upper Midwest has been in a deep freeze for the past 4 days or so. Temps not getting above -10 or so for our highs. Add to that the wind chill and we were at -30 or more! Sheesh, even the schools were shut down on Thursday and Friday. But not me, my truck started every morning and so I went to work. ...380 days ago
This week I found out that an ex-boyfriend had died. It was a very casual question, more or less, in an email from a friend back in Arizona. She had asked if I remembered "so & so" and that he died in September. I just sat there looking at that sentence. Just one sentence and then she went on with the rest of the email. I think I was in a mild form of shock......more because of the casual statement really then of his passing. Do you think that's cold? It's not. Do you know why? Because I knew it would happen. I knew he would die before he should. But then again, what is the "right" time to die? If you know me you know I believe in "Signs"......not the ones you see on the road, but really the ones you feel or maybe have in a dream. You see I had a dream, couldn't tell you exactly when, and Jim was in it. It surprised me because I hadn't thought about him in a very long time. We were together when I ...478 days ago
I mean really........ Just to "vent" on a few things......for myself more than anything else. And I guess I'm not really "venting" in the usual way.....you know, bitch and curse/rant and rave......I guess I just have to write this stuff down because it's really somewhat unbelievable! Mom had her RFA (radio frequency ablation) done on her tumor July 14th. It went really well other than the fact that she has no tolerance for pain and she made sure the doctor knew that. She isn't put "under", just made comfortable/loopy and then the area that they go into with the probe (it's like having a biopsy) gets numbed. In her Doctors words later that day "it was the first time I lost a wrestling match with a 79 year old woman"......yep, she was flinging her arm around to get that damn probe out of her!! Needless to say, this caused her more pain afterward, but what do you expect? She also had some fluid around the ...520 days ago
Do you ever say that? Lately it has been my Mantra! LOL I haven't written much lately or visited any blogs. My life has been full, more than I want and more than I need. I remember thinking when I lived back in Arizona of how bored I would get. Always so much time with nothing to do. Well, I've made up for that and then some since moving here! ;-) Things have been hectic, shall we say?, since the beginning of March. I won't go into the "Big" event that took place then. Just know that it has to do with my family, but I need to respect their privacy so I can not go into that here at my Blog. That being said, I was pretty much on my own when it came to my Mom. That's okay.......I took on the extra duties with a zeal I didn't even know I had. But soon other things started going wrong, all having to do with money. Now that those things are in my past I won't bother to list them individually so I can Bitch about them individually. Just know that one ...
