My world has gone sideways in the last week and a half. I am no longer Henry's. He is nothing to me, less than nothing ( Read more... )

My dearest Sassy just sent me a nudge and reminded me that it had been about 20 weeks since I had posted. In that 20 weeks, half of them have been spent in the hospital battling a chronic staph infection and back surgery related ickiness. They also discovered that I am now diabetic ( Read more... )

I've been a very bad blogger as of late. For that, you have my apologies. The house in Midland did sell. I think we had to knock off $4k for the back porch roof and a crack in the garage ceiling, but still, it sold for a good price in a market that the bottom is falling out of rather quickly ( Read more... )

I am now leaking from two different places. A second tunnel opened up a couple of weeks ago right on the spot that had been so tender to touch. It is just never ending ( Read more... )

Yesterday was Henry's 50th birthday. I made reservations at Yen Ching two weeks ago so that he could have Peking Duck. Rhiannon and Thomas met us there. It was really just a nice family dinner. The duck was wonderful, even though the head creeped Rhiannon out. We brought a lot of food home, so it's going to be leftovers for a few days ( Read more... )

It's been quite a month since I last wrote. Let's see, what all has happened...We ended up letting Rhiannon go to Louisiana with Thomas. Mom canceled Christmas when she found out and has only spoken to me twice since then...and I had to call her ( Read more... )

I had to play the bad buy this week. Rhiannon is failing math and she hid her progress report from us for two weeks. Her teacher had her write us four letters telling us about it and she hid those from us, too. I know she was scared of what would happen, but if she had just come right to me and told me I would have understood. Since she hid ( Read more... )

Bet you never thought you'd see or hear me say that! I had to get out and pick a few things up this afternoon and I've gotta say that people have just turned into complete nutters! They've gone round the bend and I don't see that they'll be coming back anytime soon. They're driving like they're on the Autobahn and acting even worse in the ( Read more... )

Tonight the Wichita KIP group descended on the Bean Scene way the hell out on West 13th St. There were probably 18 of us there, including a few little girls. I had so much fun and found out that I hadn't screwed up my needle case the way I thought I had. Apparently, I accidentally did a really complicated stitch that makes an eyelet or ( Read more... )

The tunnel of ick in my back has returned. I'm on another round of funky, expensive antibiotics until the culture comes back. I know they are going to tell me that it's staph again. I've been really hurting and just feeling like crap in general for the last few days ( Read more... )
