Xanax anyone?

We had a showing of our house yesterday.
I haven't heard anything from the realtor. So I'm guessing they didn't like it.
I feel a little insulted each time we have a showing with no offers........I also end up feeling a little relieved.

It's beautiful outside.
We got about four inches of snow during the night.
I'm a little worried about oldest son. He went out to The Shack ( it's a shack they built on the property they hunt.) last evening for the night. They built a wood burning stove in the shack..  I worry about carbon monoxide poisoning, and fire.

My older sister looked like shit on Christmas. She was frying on some kind of drug.......I hear she uses Heroine and Adderall............her son is also using. I hear he's using Heroine. He had a wild far away look in his eye mixed with a look of paranoia...........lsot in his own head. I'm 99 % sure they're using together. I can't begin to imagine using drugs with my child........or anyone elses for that matter.
I had a little bit of hope for her a few weeks ago........she sounded clean. And maybe she was...... But she's not now............... she looks like a strung out junkie.
I have no doubt that she will die. If you could see her you'd understand.
Dr. Drew says it's much more difficult for older people to quit drugs. I forget his explanation for why.........................................
Maybe there's hope for my nephew (this is not the nephew I wrote about a few blogs back)..........it's sad seeing them like that...........................................which brings me to my daughter....................so the school counselor, who daughter says is a psychiatrist spent time talking to daughter...................................................she concluded daughter has ADD without hyperactivity............................she referred her to a psychologist......................................I took her to the psychologist who reviewed daughter's testing for learning disabilities done while daughter was in high school.....................and she talked with daughter for quite some time..........................she said to me, with daughters permission, she believes daughter may have mild ADD (that's what she said) with an anxiety disorder. She believes an anti anxiety medication will help with the anxiety which will help daughter to focus in school.
I don't have much faith in the psychiatric community. They're quick to pull out a prescription pad...............and in general I think they're full of shit ....................with the exception of Dr. Drew, and he's not really a psychiatrist.......................................................................but I worry about daughter ending up self medicating. this whole school struggle thing has been going on since the third grade. Something has to give.............................................................................................we had the psychologist send her notes/recommendations to daughters doctor...............she still goes to her pediatrician.......because she can until she 23,and because we don't think about finding her an adult doctor until she gets sick..............................................so we'll talk to him and see what he says.........................................................I kind of feel lost as to what to do........................................................most ADD and ADHD children have behavior problems........Sis has never had problems with behavior in school or at home...............................................the only thing unusual I remember about her from she was a little child was she loved to climb..........more so than other children....................so I'd take her to all those wall climbing things where they'd harness you in and you'd climb..............she loved it............................................................................and she had one horrible grand mal seizure where she turned grey and stopped breathing for what felt like an eternity............while I was on the phone with 911 I remembered I was a nurse, threw the phone and ran to give daughter mouth to mouth...............and one year to that day exactly, she had another seizure...........................................none since that I'm aware of...................she wasn't sick either of those times........didn't have a fever or anything......................not sure why she seized.............neither is her doctor.........................I don't know what to do.............................................I don't want her on drugs....................I don't want her to end up self medicating........................................and I must say that I still believe her anxiety is a result of her difficulties learning rather than the other way around.......................................but I hate the thought of her being on ADD medications....................... somethings got to give.
We need help.
Good help.

I would never go to a female psychologist again, the one I went to years ago ended up wanting to fuck me.

Actually, I wanted to fuck her also, but I kept my cool. I should have just fucked her, it's not like the universe would have cared.

Drugs, I don't do them, other than smoking and drinking but beer is my prozac of choice.

THIS IS GOOD.

I'm going to mention you in my post tomorrow, you'll just have to get the fuck over it. :-)

Oh, wood stoves, don't worry about it, the cabin likely has enough air leaks in it that carbon monoxide is not a factor. Helen has heated her home with her home with her wood burning kitchen stove all her life.

But she does have the stack cleaned twice a year, important to do that.

Hey, just get the fuck over it and love your home, it's your own little space on this stupid rock and it's more than a lot of people have.

Just redo the kitchen if you feel the need to.

I love my little piece of shit cave, it’s warm and dry and I feel safe here and it’s free and clear. The county thinks it’s a piece of shit also so they have no value on it, so I only pay taxes on the property, I’m good with that, I’m not big on giving them more money to do stupid things with.

Jane said...

your "little piece of shit cave" sounds wonderful, Billy............especially given the fact that it's free and clear. Peace of mind is not owing a darn dime to anyone.....
At least it is to me!

BBC said...

Well hon, I moved here in 98, been in this place since about 2002. But I didn't buy it, a wonderful old lady gave it to me, pretty sure you can figure out who.

She tried to give it to me just after meeting me but you know how people are, they get stupid ideas about things so I wouldn't take it.

Long story, no point in trying to tell it here. But it really is a piece of shit. Old one room, 12X15 foot home built back in the 30's.

But since moving here I have not found a mate that gets me so I haven't improved it much with her honey do list.

That's okay, I've been alone so fucking long that I'm almost used to it.

I don't own a damn dime to anyone, except for one more payment on my new riding mower that I'll pay off next month interest free.

Just because I'm a fucking bum it doesn't mean I don't know how to spend my fucking money

I told Helen that I wanted to buy the property but she wouldn't let me, just gave me a quick claim deed to it, stubborn old bat.

Jane said...

SHE LOVES YA, BILLY.........AND YOU TAKE GOOD CARE OF HER!

BBC said...

Yeah, she does, say's I'm the most interesting man she's ever met and I introduced her to so many experiences she never got to have most of her life.

She thinks the 13 years of knowing me has been the best years of her life, go figure.
