Ok I could have left an updated posting by now. I will even go to the point of saying I should have posted an update, but damn Gina, am I really the only one that gets tired of typing the same old thing; you know same shit, different day of the week, sort of things? Right now I am going to get those items out of the way first.
Yeah my son is still an extremely opinionated person, who lets his mouth write checks that his ass can't cash. I was told that it was not until they actually hit 18 do they become in human; I should have until October 29th to go. He has really been like this his entire life, but disrespectful about it only in the last year and a half or so. I keep telling him that he is just like his real mother and if I ever find her I am going to have to kill her. He has no real idea how true that is, (the part about being like his mother). The only difference between him now and me at that age is that he still lives in my house depending on me to foot the bill to all the essential for living. I was on my own; at 16 I ran away, and went from Michigan to Arizona via the Greyhound bus. I was giving my opinions to my boss at a fast food restaurant. If I had been in the wrong she would have fired me, not promoted me into management.
Then there is my daughter, who lives in Phoenix which is 150 miles from here. I go there one or two times a month for my doctors appointments. that is usually when we talk, (unless I remember to call her before 1AM). An unexpected wrench was thrown into our relationship when she said she would not come to Tucson to see us because of her brother. Not that I want to take favorites over one more then the other, but when she told me exactly why it must have sounded like I was doing just that. Right now I think all is good, we have good visits when we are together, and she has agreed to trade places with her brother for a weekend when I decide I have this place together enough for her to be here a couple of days. That gives Mike Wayne a chance to see his Papa.
Vic is doing great. I think he has adjusted to moving across states faster then any other I have seen. I think he misses his sisters from time to time, but that is only to be expected. I keep telling him not to get to attached to this state because I have free rain to move to any state, or country for that fact, when my youngest turns 18. Do I plan to leave? Well it is no secret that there are a couple things I do not like about Tucson, and a hole lot more that I do not like about the entire state. With my ms our heat has really just become to much for me to handle. Then again I am one of the rare MS people because I have never really been able to take on severe cold either.
Now on to some of the newer items all together, my two kittens Pudge, and Little Man,(wow did I ever name them wrong)born March 9th, 2004, are no longer the youngest cats in my house. We now have 3 kittens that are about three weeks old. Parented by my cat R.T. and my sons cat Dog. Don't ask me my son named him. In fact we have seven cats currently in my house share the same Parents, four that we have kept out of past litters and then the three current ones that I do not want to keep any of. Please help me to remain strong to that fact in four weeks when they are running, playing, and showing their
personalities, and it is time to give them away. Now there was one cat I had kept that was special to me because I had injured him and spent my New Year Eve in an emergency vets office with him. I spent a couple hundred dollars on him. I also for four days straight set me alarm clock for every four hours to get up and feed him. He managed to get out of the house during the weekend that I went to the E.R. everyday of the weekend he never came back. The good thing here is that he was about 98% recovered from what we could tell.The only visual to the brain injury that I caused was when he would start to run he would veer to the right and then run straight. When he is older there is always a chance that he could end up having seizures but no one will know until that time. I just hope some good people picked him up and took him in.
Last but I am sure not the least, is the fact that my MS has gone active again. That makes about the third attack in a year. From the last attack I still walk with what is called a dropped toe walk. Instead of my toe coming off the ground first it comes up last, and the leg from the knee down feels like it is always asleep. I do not remember what the after mass of the time before was. So this time I left my neurologist office with a prescription for a four prong cane because I have fallen and hit my head so many time, and knowledge that my vision in my right eye may not return. Close your right eye and pick what you think is the very center of your vision. Now put a pencil eraser right on that spot. That is how I am seeing things out of my right eye at this time.
Well since this post is long enough I am going to go for now so that I can help Vic put together my new desk that he bought me last night to replace the piece of junk I have. I am so excited, but at the same time I am so tiered of hearing him complain about the way it is going together. What a man...lol
