Whew...
Older bro is off my couch, staying at Ma in Law's cat sitting while sis in law is in Californiyay taking some doctorate test. He's still working hard, got his 90 day chip while trying to work things out with his wife. Kind of hard to find a place with only a half day a week to look. Plenty of nice, clean, cheap places around but not for the straight crowd. I don't know, worked for John Ritter for a time.
Best friend's gut hasn't come unglued but he took the time to load about a thousand rounds of 5.56 and 300 WinMag and probably blew most of them at OK range on this most beautiful past Sunday while I worked a double. I really hate the guy.
Mom's discomfort has responded to deep tissue massage and if her back would stop aching she would be her old self ready to take on the world.
Ma in law? Soft in the head but healthy as a horse. I love her
Aunt and husband have parted ways. She's in Tenn. and he's in SC. Mixed feelings, I like them both but all things being equal I'll pick family every time.
BabyGirl the mutt is back to chasing the big dogs from the yard and doing her best to rid SoFla of the iguana infestation. She'll pull up looking gassed and confused as if thinking how easy it was once. A sip of beer and she's fine.
Amazing how things will generally work out
IF one can keep on making their way through the morass we find ourselves in sometimes. Can't quit, and the thoughts of those kind enough to care always helps.
Meanwhile, another chapter begins.
Tomorrow at 0830 we check in at the local Hospital for most likely a partial replacement of my wife's left knee. She's fired up, looking forward to being able to get up and down from the floor while she cares for the 3 and under little ones at the local YMCA. So she says, I know for a fact she wants to be able to chase me down instead of chucking broomsticks and beer bottles at my head.
So for the next two weeks I'll be her shoulder to lean on while she recovers. I'm thankful and glad to be able to help. The FMLA paperwork cleared and I can burn some of the 500+ hours of sick leave accumulating.
Can't wait to get her on a dance floor, she can make even me look good.
That's all folks. Spare a wish for a great gal, if not, that's cool too. See y'all in the funny pages.
