Billy, The new season of Dexter starts tonight. Even though you don't really like the show, I'll keep you up to date on the good stuff. :O)

The realtor called me at work yesterday to schedule a showing for today.
 8 days of a miserable stomach virus .........boyfriend in Colorado with his sick brother....... 2 double shifts for me to work this weekend.........a clogged kitchen drain, under clothes on the floor in my bathroom closet, construction of a cabinet underway on my living room floor....................i think not....... told her that we can't show the house until Wednesday.
but in all honesty my real fear is that the house will sell. otherwise i would have pulled it all together for a showing. i have a love hate relationship with my house. right now i love it. i can't seem to make up my freaking mind.

Billy my son has a  CVA 50 caliber muzzle loader(I think that's what he said) with a walnut stock that has a clogged nipple and a stripped bolt on the side of it............said he doesn't have the ambition, time, or desire to fix it...........is it legal for me to mail a gun to you? You can have it if you want it..........if it's not breaking the law.......unless u think it's not worth mailing......

friday

it's not often i get the house to myself.
today it was all mine.
it was quiet. i loved it.
i watched a love movie, and ate sushi. it was fun. :O)

after the love movie i did a few loads of laundry,  cleaned mirrors and TV screens.

son came over this morning and helped me bring an old dresser from his and his brothers old bedroom down the stairs and to my bedroom.I've shopped for months for a new dresser. they're either too expensive and small, or inexpensive and small. either way they're too small.........and not made very well. the dresser that son helped me to bring downstairs is an antique. it was my mother-in-laws, mothers......... has wooden wheels..............and huge, deep drawers. it's well made..........heavy and sturdy .it's not beautiful.........but neither is any of my other furniture...........i like it.

a work friend of mine passed away. she had a stroke a few days ago.........she died yesterday. it's just weird, you know? she's here, and then she's gone. she had a smile on her face most of the time..........a really nice person..............................and i know we're not guaranteed any amount of time on this earth.............she was only in her mid fifties............was in her prime........it's sad.

mom is doing well. daughter and i spent the late afternoon/early evening with her and dad yesterday. her left chest is bruised from the surgery........otherwise she is fine............she has stopped bleeding...........took 5 visits to the hospital, 10 units of blood, and 3 or 4 weeks time...........but finally it stopped.......she's feeling normal again.......

yesterday oldest son, daughter, and i went out for lunch and did a little shopping. oldest son is one of the nicest young guys in the world.............it's a good thing spending time with him...........

boyfriend is in Colorado visiting his family.
i miss him, but time away from each other is good. :O)

my boss called me yesterday to tell me "your baby died."my first thought was why would my boss call to tell me Mr bojangles died...............and how would she know he died.............................but she was referring to my favorite patient. most of the workers didn't find him to be very endearing..........i felt for him.........didn't want him to feel like he didn't have anyone to count on.........not that he couldn't depend on other staff.....he could........................................the day before he died, which was unexpected,  he said to me "you love me, don't you, Sandy."
I'm glad he felt loved.

1. mom has surgery tomorrow..........should be a simple procedure to change the battery in her defibrillator.
2. daughter was fired from her job for texting while working....she was warned prior.... she has another job  at the library.
3. oldest son has been off work for 6 weeks because of a back injury.... .it is a work comp. claim.The day he returned to work he was fired. he worked for them for 8 years.
4. i haven't heard from the realtor since the day she called to say we have a buyer. i don't care enough to call her to find out what happened.
5. i've had stomach virus like symptoms for 4 days. it's been miserable. i steamed crab legs for me and daughter a week ago. she ended up in the er with stomach pain the day after the crab legs.they didn't smell bad. they tasted delicious. i'm thinking they may have made us sick...........maybe.....not sure.
6. hi, billy! i used to read the professors blog because he's a train wreck, and i wanted to be there when he figured it all out. that's not going to happen.
 now i read it to see the comments you leave for him.

thursday

mom spent the night in the icu being transfused. she's still there but is feeling better.
some of the time after being with my family( my sisters and parents) i feel like my head will explode and i'm relieved to get away from them.

our realtor called yesterday to tell me we have a buyer, that our last showing went really well, they loved the house and asking price................i expected her to call later in the day with an offer. i haven't heard from her, and i've been too busy to call her. so who knows........

thursday

The Drew Peterson jury got it right. Good for them!
And to Jeff Ruby, thank you for telling Drew "fuck you!" You crack me up.

Someones coming to look at the house tomorrow. I just finished cleaning. Keeping my fingers crossed........

Mom was transfused again today.
She's tired.
Dad kept her spirits up by telling jokes. Mom wasn't really laughing at dad.  My oldest son's cheeks were sore though from laughing at grandpas jokes.................... oldest son laughing made mom laugh...........

I have to work tomorrow.
I'd rather spend the day with my mom.

monday

The town house was very pretty but I hated the lay out. The more I look at other homes, the better mine looks to me.
I've found lots of land to look at........know little about buying it........what to consider.......hidden costs and such....................
It raining sheets.......has been for a day and a half..............i love the sound of rain fall..........thinking about sitting in my car and reading my latest Koontz book............I'd be close to the sound of the rain, the phone won't interrupt me, I can sneak a smoke if i want, and the surrounding darkness will set the mood for my scary book.
