Mom's surgery went really well on Thursday. The doc said she had a lot of fibroids and that the cancer looked superficial, but he won't know if anything has been spread til all the tests come back. I went down to Indy on Friday and my dad and grandma left for home from the hospital. Dad left me with the van, because she was doing so well, we were thinking she might be able to come home on Sunday. So I stay in the hospital with her and make sure she doesn't do anything she isn't supposed to until about 11pm. I then went across the street to University Hotel and stayed there, of course I stayed up and watched some kinky show on HBO. There was hardcore sex!!! Anyway, back to mom; I go to bed, get a call right after the alarm goes off at 6am, it's mom, she says this "they said i can go home". I was like: You are kidding me!!! That's freaking awesome! So I get around and get over there, she's doing really good and I notice she has her dress on and everything. I'm like WTF, who helped you put that on? She was like: I put it on myself. So although she shouldn't have, she took care of herself because I wasn't in the room. We finally got to leave around 10am and didn't make it back hom until 2pm. I drove slow and we went out to eat in Kokomo. She did really well until Warsaw, she started to get some horrible pain, but when we got home dad was there to take care of her and get her calmed down. She was a trooper.
I didn't get to see Belinda. I was really looking forward to meeting her. I don't have any female friends that I really clique with right now. Although it doesn't really matter whether someone is female or male, there are a lot of things that I see differently at times and have no one to identify with me on it. I think her and I will get along well, although I am quite shy at times(which at times seems snobbish).
But anyway, things are finally going well. The wrinkles are getting ironed out. Such as:
- Joe's dad found a girlfriend, his spirits are really good right now and we need that, the only downside is: he isn't around to help on the house much, but that's okay, i'm really happy for him
- I only have 2 more classes til I can be an engineer. I thought it couldn't happen but lately i've been getting really sick of doing other peoples work for half the pay and i'm ready to do something that uses my brain a bit more. I have to deal with people that are twice my age, having me do things they know nothing about but make them look really good, while they are only good at calling people and yelling at them. It's just starting to get on my nerves here and there. The fact that I get paid decent to do it, helps me through it all.
- Joe's in better spirits than he has been. Sure he lost his job, but really, he needed to get out of there and what a better time for this to happen but now, when we can build our house. He's hauling ass out there and getting more done in a few weeks than we have in 3 months. He was at a dead end job and when the house is all done he'll find something awesome to do. Whether it's a stable job or something adventageous I know now with my ability to make money he will have the freedom to choose something that makes him happy.
- The house is coming along! We won't be living there July 1st like we wanted to, but it will be before August easy. More things will be completed which reduces the stress immensely.
- We got our construction loan, hence another reason we are finishing the house.
- Friday we are closing on our house to Fred. That will free up some credit and allow us not to have that over our heads. The money flow is going well although we aren't making any frivilous purchases, because when we get the house liveable and ready we will be out of funds and relying on just my income.
- Which brings me to mention that John will be living with us as well. I can't predict the future, but I do think that it will be better for everything. First of all it's logical, secondly, it would be great to do more all three of us together. I think it will be best for both of my relationships.
- John bought an awesome 4wheeler. I don't remember the specs, but it's a great machine. He's been in an awesome mood because of it too. He loves riding it and Joe loves to ride it too. When they go on it they come back with a huge smile. I haven't attempted the manualability of it. I prefer the automatic Polaris, but there will be a day and knowing me I will really get into it, as long as I don't hurt it.
- I've been able to pay my dad off.
- Mom is doing well.
- Grandma made it from Oregon and will probably get the house across the street from my parents and next to our old house.
Life is coming together. I thank all of those that have been able to put up with my any stress that I have let out. Without the patience and cooperativeness of all parties involved, I wouldn't be able to do all of this. Thank you thank you thank you and I love you.
