life is a giant rollercoaster...
and normally i like rollercoasters.
First, my sister's baby shower went off pretty well. The invites were done and sent out. She took me and my other sister to dinner in appreciation.
Well Lillian Faye, my niece, was born a week later on March 9th @ 2:48pm. She weighed 7 lbs. and 3.3 oz and was 18.5 inches long. She's a beauty. I really want a little one, but one must wait until school is done! Need money first!
But lets just say, I've been outed, in a sorts. Seems members of my new extended family have issues with me that they won't address to me themselves. They would rather let other people speak for them. I've been led along to believe I was respected, wanted, and well-loved when I was merely tolerated. Therefore, I have decided firstly, to let it go. I don't hold grudges well and Ray already said his peace about it. But I won't continue to put myself out there in an honest effort to be helpful, supportive, and loving as a new member of the family. Frankly, I didn't have to in the first place. I simply decided that possibly my new extended family my enjoy my enthusiasm for being part of their family, but alas, apparently this effort has come across as pushy. Well, I can't win 'em all over, can I? No use crying over split milk.
In other news, my husband's health issues have finally come to light. His previous blood pressure problems weren't attributed to the blood pressure at all. They are in fact due to a enlarged prostate, the number one symptom of Prostate cancer. How lovely. Also, his gallbladder is indeed failing. It currently functions at less than 25% and will be removed around Spring Break. Moreover, I will be selling my Nickelback tickets for around 200 probably. I'm not going to that concert with out him. I want to be at home for him. Also, in the preliminary x-ray they conducted on him, they found a smudge on the x-ray. Turns out, Ray also has a mass on his liver. Yeah.
So as my father is currently recooperating from his cancer treatments and growing his taste buds back, my husband will be under going surgery and anything else under the sun at this point.
good news always goes hand in hand with bad news though.
We no longer have to pay arrears in child support. So we can now have cell phones. I ahve transferred my service from my parents' service and added Ray, who is now sporting this:
Yum :9 and I'm getting one in July when my upgrade comes around.
I placed in the student show and classes are going well. AIGA has a lecture tonight with a famous typographer and we're eating sushi before!~ and I finally have a manager. Grace has started liking me again, and life otherwise is happy.
Despite all the crazy and that my life is more tumultuous than ever, I am the happiest I have been in 3 damn years. Finally.
