[-say it aint so, I will not go-]
Ahhhh. Finally getting home! Whatta weekend. ALMOST finished Wanda's basement. My dad and I got a hell of a lot done yesterday.. I was surprised. I started getting a little worried. Something is wrong with his legs. He said he fell like four times this summer. I remember him only falling once. The last time I talked to him I was under the impression that he was going to get some surgery in his back. I know he has a lot of problems. I think he has herniated disks.. along with something wrong with his sciatica.. he also told me last night at dinner that he was born with a informality in his spine which causes a lot of these problems. I am not sure why it was never taken care of when he was a kid.. I know he was raised well and taken care of.. Maybe they just couldn't do what they can today. Anyway.. I thought he was going to get a surgery. Apparently, he wants the surgery but the doctors are going through other things first.. as they usually do. I guess he had a cortisone (sp?) shots a few months ago that he said worked for a while but have now worn off. I told him to get them again.. but I don't know much about it, I think they're very hard on your bones and what not. Anyway, I felt bad. He can't really stand straight anymore, and he kinda walks funny. It blows my mind that he is still working like two jobs that required a lot physically. He needs to take a fucking break before he hurts himself beyond repair. He won't though. I've inherited that trait from him (among others). One of the gifts and curses passed down to me. Oh well... what are you gonna do, right? He's good to us, though. He's good to my aunt.. He means well. I forget sometimes.. I'm blinded by the past. What we went through. But at the end of the day.. no one lost more then him. At his own expense, don't get me wrong.. but I think he's spent the majority of the rest of his life making up for his fuck ups for the last 20 (ish) years. When will it be enough? Will it ever? I guess that's on him. ANYWAY. Jamie came home from Atlantic City today. We finished up a majority of the basement. It was so gross. The driveway is like a mud hole. YUCK! I didn't realize it would be that bad so I pretty much ruined my sneakers. It's okay, I guess. I was just thinking that I need new sneakers for the gym.. but now I really have no choice. I mean I will wash them.. at the laundromat because there's so much dirt.. but I don't know. I might just transition them into my junk sneakers. I might go to DSW tomorrow. I think I have a few coupons, anyway. I'll have to take a look. I have to go back to Wanda's tomorrow and take her grocery shopping because we haven't gotten to that this weekend yet. Busy, busy, busy. I want to try and go early so I can come home and do nothing for a while. I have therapy at 7:30, I think. Meh. I may go back to bi-weekly for a while. Things are going well, so I think it's time for a break. So happy that I don't have to go to work until Tuesday. What a great fucking life. I love waking up on my own terms. I'm so less bitchy. Hahaha. Counting down the years to retirement, already. Not that I have any hobbies to fill up my time with.. but sleeping, ahhhhhh.. loving it! Anyway. I am home now. Took a shower a little while ago. I felt so disgusting, I couldn't wait to get home to shower. Watching football with Jim now. I'm probably going to read in a few minutes. Almost finished with my book. I think I have another free one lined up! Hmmm.. wonder what I am going to read this time. Or maybe I'll snooze off. Decisions. decisions. All I know is that I am super comfortable in this bed and I'm loving it. I'm thinking about calling in sick this week.. just to not be there, haha. I may have to take Thursday off to take Wanda to the doctor.. not entirely sure yet. James and I have the Dustin Lynch concert this Thursday!!! Can't waaaaaaait. Yes, yes yessssss. I just reminded Jim, he's so cute. I love that he loves country.. most of it, anyway. I enjoy concerts! I have him almost all the way corrupted so he'll start coming with me more. Bahahaha. Winning!!!!
