Where did 3 days go?????

well, it went, didn't it !!!!! and goodness, time does fly right past and I seem to waste so much of it, i'm not being productive right now at all, seem to be in limbo or at some type of standstill, just spending time waiting, and i'm not sure what i'm waiting for. my ankle, my melanoma surgery, Amanda (stan's ex) to get her shit together and clean her act up, Stan to chill and be nice again, i know he has pressure, with ginger dying slowly, lauren being totally neglected by her mother, and his deciding he doesn't like me(women) any longer, the outcome of the FBI investigation of that shitty place i worked for a year, Maxim, who has defrauded the state, federal and veterans out of loads of money, the entire company, all 500 offices, whether i can work as a nurse any longer, or if i resort to what every woman has to offer for money....$$$$$ need i be clearer about that? but, i'm old now, and would only get money for housecleaning or something ! a service, that is..

Wow ! a tornado warning is crossing the screen, kind of weird, isn't that? oh, well !

Today, my friend, Darrelle and I went to the Forrest Park art fair and had lunch at Francesca's, and had a nice, relaxing day, she has become a good friend and is easy to talk to, she's heading to Paris in two weeks with her sisters, yeah for her ! Wish i were going tooo, but, maybe in the next 5 years or so !!!!

So, news regarding my tooth, still have one more nerve to remove, the regular dentist has tried 4 times, after many, many Novocaine shots he referred me to an endodontist and they want a $300.00 deposit before i see him, which i don't have, my insurance "will" pay but they don't care, so for now i'm stuck with a perpetual toothache or getting my top molar pulled, which neither nor my dentist wants to happen, so what to do??? i just don't have the money, unemployment is just enough to pay my share of the house bills, nothing extra, and this tooth is just killing me...but, can't have a benefit for a tooth, or can I ?

Went to Christophers school Friday a.m. for grandparent day, had a continental breakfast and went to class with chris for a bit, he had questions he needed to ask his gramma and we drew pictures of ourselves, and it was fun, he is so good in school and he was happy to have his gramma there with him, and gramma was glad too. then it was lunch with my friend Virginia, we call her vagina, for short, and she is always fun to see, chippers so i ran into many old friends, even frannie Cherveney, which i just got a video from paul studnicki on thursday with kids in 1965 ice skating at marilla park, and frannie was in it, so i emailed it to her and made her day complete !

so, what are you looking forward to for this week? the weather is taking a certain turn cooler, just in time for autumn, remember when we actually wore fall clothes, wool skirts and sweaters? they were really pretty in all those rust, brown, blue and green colors, wish they would come back in style again, don't you??? The leaves will start to fall soon, leaf burning smells will be in the air, there will be fireplaces lit in the evening, all nice things, and....pumpkin pies, pumpkin ice cream, pumpkin muffins and cake...mmmmmm can you tell pumpkin is my favorite of all, and we only think of it in the fall, don't we?

Fall shows have started, Curb your Enthusiasm is back on HBO, which i just love, and brothers and sisters on abc, also another one i like, it's a soap opera, but still i like it, don't you? what are your favorites to watch? and soon it will be time to start Christmas shopping, again, no $$$$, as usual, but, i am tole painting again, and gonna do the sleds kathy meredith gave me to do some years ago, finally will do them, have ideas and washed them in murphy's oil soap and will begin tomorrow to make them gorgeous for winter display!!!! they were kathy's and her sisters sleds in childhood, so, it will be great fun and she will appreciate them finally !!!

well, it's almost time for bed, another night of dreaming of having great sex with someone, but i can't ever see who he is, but he's tall and muscular and hot for me....that's what counts, i don't care who he is but i like him !!!! he doesn't stay to have coffee in the a.m., and i don't have to wash his clothes, my idea of the perfect lover !

so, Goodnight for Sunday night, i'll talk to you all sooon !!!

Winston's mom !!!!! he's still here and just loves me to death, and i love him tooo.

golly, it's another week that's almost gone

Hello all !!!

"another" strain of flu is approaching, just tonight, channel 11 reports still there is yet another flu approaching us, and I'm wondering why this is happening, too much travel, and, dr gerber from the public health dept says "all flu vaccine is given free to "all" flu clinics and was "meant" to be administered for free, but individual companies, clinics, may charge an "administrative" fee to give it, figure that one !!!!!

so, my tooth, still my tooth, i had 2 root canals and the doc just can't deaden the third nerve of the trunk after weeks of shots, lots of shots...so, it's to an endodontist i'm being sent !!!

more news ! my dreaded melanoma has returned, this time on my outer left leg, had a biopsy and it was positive, so now further sugery to remove the spot, the margins, and also check the lymph nodes nearest, which are my left groin, so...ankle surgery must be delayed, until this is completed and i've healed, suppose to see the ortho m.d.on the 28th, melanoma surgery is scheduled for Oct 26, unless my regular derm can work me in sooner, won't know that till she gets back from vacation also on the 28th, so, it's "all" up in the air tonight !!!!!
just call me, Ms Adaptable !!! i'll go with the flow on this one, i think !!

Made chop suey for supper tonight, and Lauen wanted to know why it's called that, and i must confess, i've been making it for years, and i don't have a clue why its called that...what is suey???? According to Wikipedia, my favorite this is what they say: " mixed" pieces of any type of meat, bound in a starch thickend gravy, popular in American, Canadian and Indian cuisine, as in India...not the american indian...
and, we really enjoyed it, Lauren had never had it before,I think her mother isn't big on cooking from scratch, just in pre cooked and take out foods, so she enjoys it when she's here, though she is 12 and is reluctant to admit it...

Are you enjoying the fall season on T.V.? it's started and mostly the same old stuff, lots of dr. shows, cop shows, but letterman has had 2 presidents on this week, andboth have been very good, and i've sure taken to the Bonnie Hunt show, in fact, joined her website and record her show andwatch itquicker each day...she's a former oncology nurse, from chicago, and really down to earth, i think...

have you missed me this week? i've missed you, but some days just aren't interesting enough to write....now, for money, i'll entertain, but, gosh mostly my life is boring, boring, boring, and i'm pretty broke, but now, tomorrow, Friday, i'm going to Wallace school for grandparent day and breakfast with Christopher and then to his class room for a while, then i'm meeting my friend, Virginia for lunch, which will be just great !!!! then, the week end looms, and I have not a plan in site,not yet anyway, would like to see a movie or two, but who knows??????

for tonight, though, its time to say good night, and God Speed to all !!!!! My friend, Lynn, has decided to limit her computer time, feels it's taken over her life, as for me, i do keep it in balance, don't spend as much time as i use to on it, and so i enjoy it....oh, and my friend, Sherry, not me, another Sherry that you don't

know, lives in Indiana, sent me a copy of her book, she wrote it, "Angel With Redbird Wings" and it is wonderful and i thank her very much for writing and sharing it with me....She is also a nurse, and a very loving, outgoing woman, very strong in her convictions, which all of my friends are, i'm proud of that !!!

So, good night for now, will write again in 2 days, count em !!!!

from Winston and Sherry

Happy Monday to you all !!!!

what a great day today has been, very relaxing, didn't drive any place, winston and i just hugged the day away !!

well, as for stan's ex, she was in terrible condition, but, they transferred her out of ICU tonight and then when she got to the floor, they immediately released her from the hospital too, I guess her insurance wouldn't pay for an overdose, so that's the way the mop flops, she's now out and free to use more medication again, no counseling, but, she's so smart, she doesn't need it !!!!
Enough said about her, not my concern !

The only thing is, now I have to decide should i have ankle surgery next week or not, put it off, Stan will have his hands full with Lauren I imagine, but, if i "could" go to a rehab floor I could do this, it's in the air right now but i sure can't/won't depend on Stan any longer, he has a lot on his plate now, and we all know, men can't handle too many things, so i'll just figure it out.

The air is beginning to change, fall is in the air, and it's just beautiful, it's just the best time of year, so, I am really going to try to pack some of the things for storage and begin to "think" about my future, i'm sure in the mood to get it over, just begin again, new lease on life, the final phase.

I "think" I want to take a class or two, and relearn the things about government, literature and some other things that I've forgotten over the years, even some geography, as some of the names of the countries have changed. In the next year, I also want to look for some "reasonable" air fares or just drive to see people I haven't seen for a long time, I think I need to do that before it's later than it is now !!! and while I still remember people !!

so, what the heck am i gonna do for the rest of my life??? any suggestions? now, you also know, that I can go anyplace on earth to live, so i wonder if Ottawa will be the best place for me or the best i can do????? what do you think????

will you watch barack on the david letterman show tonight??? i think it's just a riot, i'm still wondering if Barack is giving the real deal about health care, but, i still like him and think he's a very decent man !!! I think the best president of my life, actually and i will have surgery right in his neighborhood !!!

well, i joined eons.com a website for baby boomers and its really nice, simple, lots of interesting blogs, check it out.. i also joined bonniehunt.com i really like her, she's down to earth, was an oncology nurse at northwestern memorial and still comes to chicago several times a year, her parents still live there.

Snow !!! in the colorado mountains already !!!!! we just had snow, rain, no summer at all !!! kind of depressing, huh???? i haven't planted my flowers yet for the summer, oh, well, i saved tons of money, so there !!!!

well, time to watch letterman, then time to go to bed, will read a bit of my book first...do you read nightly? i do, it's enjoyable and my mind is on something other than the terrible news i saw at 10 p.m., good night to you, and again good luck....

Sunday night, Sept 20, 2009

Hello Friends !!!!!

I'm back !!!! left off Wednesday night, you know the FBI was here Thursday, long, long story, but long and short of it, Maxim Healthcare, the entire company, 500+ offices throughout USA, is being investigated for fraud, medicare, medicaid, veterans, and they are talking and asking questions of a great many people who were employed in executive positions, it was a scarey experience to say the least, when they left, I had a full on panic attack, the first i've ever had, couldn't move, couldn't speak, left hand and wrist contracted big time, but was over within 15 minutes and back to normal.

Friday, was fairly calm, actually, i don't remember Friday, so i think it was inconsequential but Saturday I went to Streator an went to Faye Murphys house and saw all the family after Faye's funeral, she was really loved by her family. Then, went to Sandy and John Defenbaughs house and spent the evening talking with the girls, solving lifes problems/dilemna's, all to no avail.

today was fairly uneventful until Lauren called, couldn't wake her mother up, went to the neighbors for help, long and short, she overdosed on prescription pain medication, which she's been addicted to for many years, Stan has been aware of this but he is helpless to help her, as no one can help an "addicted" person, but in the past year especially, she has spent most of her waking hours in her room, taking pills, sleeping, and leaving Lauren on her own, to make her own meals, wash her own clothes, has never gotten up with lauren in the a.m. for school, doesn't make sure lauren eats breakfast or even has a lunch.. it just sucks, and tonight I did call DCFS because I am a "mandatory" reporter and there is finally "proof ", no longer speculation, but facts to back our suspicions so Stan can now file for full custody of Lauren and take her away from her mother, in order to work with lauren to straighten her life out.. I had no choice but to report, as i would be liable if this happened again, and in my opinion Lauren has been neglected enough for a lifetime. Sad, sad case, a clinical psychologist in degree with not an ounce of sense, she doesn't have a friend, doesn't have a person who cares about her, in fact, she just took Lauren to the U2 concert, which lauren hated going to, and jimmy buffett many times, nothing but a drug fest for either....sad, sad, sad, but she has done this all to herself, and stan is well rid of her.

Enough about this, but she did completely wreck our suppertime, how rude Amanda is, with this behavior and mental illness, death would be better than having her impact Lauren any longer...

oh, Stan also laid this on me yesterday, he is going to iowa on the 9th of october, only 1 week after my ankle reconstruction, so I have to find someone to come stay for 4 days, and ensure i eat, brush my teeth, potty, and take winston out...he didn't tell me this prior to my scheduling my surgery on the 2nd, and if i can't get a person to come, i must reschedule it again, they are going to think i'm crazy....but, it sucks....all because his 9 year old grandson plays football, which it may be rainy, or the kid may be sick or hurt, he could wait until next year or have went anytime until now, see, just another thing that women can't depend on men for, he has encouraged this surgery for 6 long years, I have finally planned it, it will allow me to walk normally for the first time, since i was 17, and this news....the boy has many years to play football, i don't see it as a big thing, but i don't understand why people get into watching kids do rough things to their bodies anyway... christopher is no more interested in football, but is great at academics, which is more important anyway...and that's what we like.. even Stan gets disgusted at the sports, the high wages people get for abusing themselves and can't even read or count..but, that another story....play football and get dogs to kill one another in dog fights, the american way, speaking of, we don't think that guy should ever get paid to play football again, he should run animal shelters for life..

well, i need to get back in the spirit of life, am really looking forward to getting my ankle fixed, healed, and moving on with life, eager to get my own place, decorate it the way i want, winston, furbie, binky and I, another chapter in my life, which i really love my life, love looking forward to retirement, and spending time with my family and friends and doing some traveling...
only kids in my life will be christopher, ryan and all of your grandkids, which are like my own, most of you anyway..

have a wonderful week, winston says hello !!! he's right here watching t.v. with me, sort of amazing, but i think he really understands the shows...he sure watches......

I am still Winstons mom

Alert! i "think" i'm unsubscribing from Facebook

i think it's for kids, it's just too busy for me with absolutely no directions for anything anyone sends and i can't figure it out, i think it sucks, and takes too much time, i just wanted a place i could find and reconnect with people, it's gotten way out of the box for me...so, email me, write me notes, ease up on the jokes some, i don't have time to read all of them and delete most...if i can't read it in a minute or visually see it, it's gone...and when i have surgery, i definetely won't have the ability to read all this, so notes please, keep it personal, please..

Well, today, the dentist, got 2 root canals, and after 15, yes, 15 shots of novocaine/adrenalin, my heart was going so fast i truly thought it was going to stop, didn't even know novocaine had adrenalin in it, and it was way, way too much for me..so, he won't use that type ever again, but one more to go, next Wednesday as it is still to hot to touch, even after all the shots, it wasn't numb...man, i said, "just pull the fucker out", but it's a molar, and he wouldn't..did you know the molar has "3" nerves???? shit the bed, fred !!!!! I'm just sick of driving east on I 80, kedzie exist south to homewood, to that dentist office, now mind you, he's nice, everyone is nice there, but i hate it...that drilling, shit.

But, then I got home, went to the Creamery and got a real chocolate milkshake, it hit the spot, my reward after torture... and then...Stan nicely, fixed cheeseburgers on the little charcoal grill and i ate the first mushroom/cheeseburger I've eaten in 4 years, with a grilled garlic/butter hamburger bun....i can't usually eat a bun, too doughy, but i did tonight, and it was like dying and going to heaven for me, a nice, juicy tomato slice, you know, Illinois tomatoes from the black soil, mmmmmmmm, not any other like it...so, i'm totally satisfied tonight. Stan fixed them just perfect, not too well done, not too rare, perfecto mundo....wish you were here to enjoy it with me...and i didn't even share with Winston, he's on a dog food strike right now, but, i know, if he gets hungry, he will eat the dog food..He's is watching Criminal Minds right now, just intently, he watches t.v. an awful lot, and i swear, he understands it, too bad he couldn't watch the film , "the matrix" and explain it to me, 3 times i've seen it, still don't get it !!!!!! I think he has a crush on the blonde, Garcia !!!!

what else? had my CBC and CMP drawn today for surgery, will have my ekg next week and then I'm ready, i'm so excited, i just can't tell you, i so much want this to work, for my foot to be normal again, well again, to buy normal shoes again, to walk again, please Lord, let it just be !!!

I subscibed to Eons.com today, a site just made for boomers, and i joined the old hippies group and i "think" i will start blogging there, i'm not sure yet, will let you know...but,it seems more appropriate, i subscribed to two bloggers sites, both women who feel much like I do about a lot of issues, been going to it over a year but just joined today, sent my friend, Darrelle and Lynn an invitation, if you want one tell me, or go to the sight and join, think you'll find it interesting..

In the last few nights, i "tried" to age 60+ chatrooms on yahoo, shoot, just a bunch of bots sending you sex messages to pay for their videos and such, just another bunch of shit....so, i won't do that again, sometimes, late at night, i just would like to enter into an intelligent chat with other adults, not about sex, not about enlarge your penises....but real chat..where are they??? i know, they "must" exist, but where????? don't you get sick of the junk mail, the advertisements you get, that's why i keep one email address just for friends,never, ever give it when i buy anything, nothing....so, please, if you "get" this blog, use only sherrymascal@yahoo.com it's reserved for friends "only". i would like to get away from using any other addresses for friends, and use only that one....then i wouldn't even go to the others anymore and they would fade away...

While i'm on a roll here, how do you like the way yahoo changed, overnight, every time i "try" to send an email, i have to write in some stupid code i can't even read, and constantly a yellow box comes up saying "you've encountered a problem at yahoo, return and try again in a few minutes", and there is no way to "write" to yahoo, and complain, and the address book sucks now...some people have more than one email address and one has to click on each to figure out what is the one they want to send it to....

I think i'm kind of grouchy tonight, i think the novocaine got the best of me today, i still love all of you, in fact, my friend, Jerry, from grade school just wrote on facebook that he LOVES me, now how about that? haven't seen him for 43 years and he still loves me, what a man !!!! think he wants to marry me? NOT !!!!!!

i'll write tomorrow night, maybe i'll even be in a better mood then....maybe i'll have vodka tomorrow night instead of novocaine...but, i still thank Stan for that wonderful Cheeseburger, it is the highlight of the month... sex maybe???????? one can only hope !!!!!!

good night and good luck !!!

Tuesday, September 15, 2009

It's tuesday night, do you know where your children are??????


i wanted to "introduce" you all to Winston, see, he's real, and he's my newest/bestest boyfriend, he's faithful, loyal, obedient, is affectionate (when i need affection), isn't a bedhog and doesn't snore.
I take him everywhere with me, and he travels well, and he's not a barker, he's a lover, wags his tail at everyone and accepts love from anyone who will offer it, but he's not a male whore.....
so, it's tuesday, the 15th, got word from Dr. Toolen that my surgery is not set for October 2, only in the hospital over night, and see the doc 2 weeks later to get sutures out and cast changed. i must behave, however, follow M.D. orders to the letter, and i will , this time i will, cuz i've wanted/needed this ankle/foot fixed for over 43 years, it's really gotten worse the last 6, now i can't wear a dress shoe anymore, and after this surgery/healing time, i can again.....
so, that's the news here in Mokena, i'm really excited to actually be "doing" this, not thinking about it anymore, i was worried how i'd get around in the nursing home, would they just keep me in a wheel chair all the time? cuz i'd throw myself out and on the floor and pee all over the floor...
This Saturday, my friend, Sandy, is having us girls over for the evening, wish you could all be there, but some of you live a little far for that!!! but, we do have fun when we get together, man bashing, eating, more man bashing, more eating, once we made a cake at 2 a.m., had a taste for it, we're still having sleep overs at heart, and she and her sister, june, have been my friends since we were really little, there's is the first house i played at. And michele, has been my friend since first day of kindergarten, we walked home from school all thru St Mary's days...but she always got to be the teacher when we played school, well it was her house and her stuff, she never ever came over to my house....and we followed greg nycz home every day, we had a crush on him he didn't know we were alive, we were just little kids to him i bet !!! pesty little girls...
So, you know patrick Swayze died last night, i just watched the second barbara walters special with he and his wife, what a pair, what a cutie he was and sooo brave...i will miss him, have seen all his movies numerous times...and will again, he had a great ass !!!! whew, whew !!!!
and he said, something i always say, "we are all terminal, some of just know how long we will be here"....i try to live that way every day, try to remember to be kind to everyone, though sometimes the devil in me gets carried away, and i can be a real bitch....don't like myself then though and wish i could take it right back, but, alas, i can't...which brings me to stan, and him not liking me anymore, i wish he did, but i can't change what i can't change...it's his loss though he doesn't feel that way now, i do think he will miss me and be sorry once i'm gone....it's been a nice 6 years for me, and i just wonder how he sees it so differently...if we are in the same space at the same time and who is missing what??? i don't think i'm missing anything, he's not the easiest person to live with either, but i overlook his tantrums and moodiness, why can't he get past mine and take the good with the bad? enough on that though....
so, how are you doing?? i don't ask about you when i write this, and i am actually writing it for myself but with you in mind too, i think the things you think, but i say em....a little to blunt for some people, but for you strong at heart, it's just fine and you write me that it's fine and you like it....so, i can take all the praise i get every day, it helps my self esteem!!!!!!
I don't have much else to write about tonight, it's the dentist again tomorrow to try to fix this dang tooth, he couldn't numb it the last two times, so tomorrow is his last try, after that, it's the endodontist for me, and lots more $$$$$$$$.$$
I also have a CBC due tomorrow and a CMP, and hope my hct and hgb are going back toward normal, otherwise, it's a transfusion for me, before surgery !!!!
On Saturday, it's a haircut in a.m., Harvest Days in Dwight after that, and then off to Sandy's house.....busy, fun day....i'm gonna let my hair grow back to the silver it is, and let it grow now, i want it blunt cut....and a little longer....what do you think????
Well, Goodnight friends, where ever you are !!! Say a prayer for me, just on principle, cuz i may yet kill that Jim R, from Ottawa, i just may do it !!! he didn't even tell me why???
What a chicken shit he is !!!!!!!!

End of the week end

and it's been such a beautiful week end too, such pretty days, warm and sunny, and at night cooler and crisp, and the smells, oh, the smells are so delicious ! I didn't do a thing on Saturday, got up, showered, had coffee and winston and i went back to bed for the morning, and just listened to music and cuddled, and he's such a good cuddler too !

Then, in the afternoon, I read a bit of the book I'm reading, Metro Girl by Janet Evanovich, it's funny and just the right amount of sexuality, she's a funny author, writes about what I would write, check her out sometime, used books at amazon.com are great, then there's the library too...i get books from both, actually, just got the book by Tom Brokaw, called "BOOM" and it's another yet look at the decade of the 60's, which are referred to as the "scizophrenic decade" beginning with the innocence of "leave it to beaver" and "lassie", then the deaths of the Kennedy's and Martin Luther King, the introduction of the hula hoop, drive in movies, then the war, protests, killing of the student's at Kent State, our own cops killed our own students, for just being together and a car back fired, and they shot these kids...to pot, psychodelic episodes, just a huge change in the times in those short 10 years, and we lived through it and were not that aware living in a small town, starting families, we were so innocent yet back then, but, the world was spinning, we understand a lot better now what that war was about, Money, Money, Money !!!!

whew, where did that come from???? i dunno !!!! back to the week end in review for now....
Saturday night was sort of boring, actually, now with stan it's gotten very boring, he doesn't want to do anything any more, just fall asleep in his chair with his mouth open and snore so i can't hear t.v. lol

so, saturday, i had the satellite connection moved from Laurens room to the room i'm in now, in anticipation for the surgery, but just for now so i have a place of my own to go, Stan never wanted the t.v. in the bedroom, he's bothered by a little night light...so, now in my own room, i play my own radio, listen to my own t.v., and snore myself to sleep in peace and i just love it...
I had forgotten how nice it is to just sleep by yourself and not hear another person, not feel them move around, go to the potty during the night, or hear them get up before your ready to, so, i'm happy !!!!

Today, Winston and I went for a long ride, he loves to go bye bye with his mommy, then home to read, and i fixed the coolest meatloaf this p.m., I made the mixture as always, onion, egg, garlic, bread crumbs and salt/pepper, tomato sauce, but, this time, i made muffin pan size balls, baked at 350 for 40 minutes, then made a glaze out of tomato sauce, worshteshire sauce and guldens mustard, mixed it all together, and painted it on the balls, and let it stay in the oven for about 10 more minutes, and it was just yummy, little individual meatloafs, from 2.3 # of ground round, i got 24 balls, baked 12 and put the other 12 on a cookie sheet in the freezer to freeze, now put them in a bowl for next time. will thaw them in the fridge for a day and then bake them, so the work is done for the next time already...

Sandy called tonight, and the girls get together is at her house, next Saturday night in the country south of streator, call her for directions, you have her number if your local and invited, or if you want to go, call me and i'll give you her phone number...it's gonna be a lot of fun, and we will celebrate my upcoming surgery and impending split from stan, a fun night, and i "plan" to spend the night in Streator, so spend it with me !!

I also have changed my mind about the surgery, not to cancel it, but move it up, will call the doc tomorrow and let them know, i'm ready whenever they are, i was gonna wait till the end of october, but i want it sooner, i want to begin healing asap, and get on wih life, my foot has slowed me down and stopped me for years from doing things, and my friend, Darrelle and I decided Friday night, we are going to Europe, i've wanted to return since Justine and I left, and when my foot/ankle is fixed, i can do just that....why wait? till we "save" the money, that will never happen, so, we both figure we will just charge it, and if we die before we pay it off, who cares????? in fact, my new theory is just this: if you want something, or want to do something, do it for yourself, not for anyone else, you don't "need" someone to go along with you, your memory of it is just that, "your" own memory, life is so short...i'm changing the way i look at things from now on, a more positive outlook, and I'm doing what "I" want to do, other than breaking the law, and I don't want to break any laws, but, no one can get blood out of a turnip and i don't have a thing, oh, furniture and a dog, but, no property, and i probably won't have any, no savings, and i won't have any, will live from check to check for the rest of my days, as most americans do, and if i can't take care of myself, the damn government will just have to, i've paid my dues, haven't you????? just be smart and protect what you do have from the IRS or anyone else, for your kids sakes, and screw it and have fun !!!!!
so, back to my ankle, i'm getting it fixed as soon as the doc has an open slot, i'll let you know next blog when that will be, so, cross of October 30 for the flowers and chocolates, it will be sooner...

Well, i don't have anything more interesting to write tonight, but next few days are promising to be busy at least....doc appt on Tuesday, lab and dentist on Thurs, Harvest Days on Saturday daytime and sandy's that night, with good friends, I hope, or not...at least Sandy, June and I will be there, and we always have fun bashing men!!! If your not there, we will bash you toooo, so best be there !!!!

I find i'm really ansty to get packing and get moved, to just decorate a place of my own, my own tastes, arrangements, no criticism, the music i like, and just winston and i, it's gonna be nice, where ever i end up...you will be able to call 24 hours a day then, no 10:15 cut off, i answer 24 hours a day and like to get up and go out for coffee at 1 a.m. and such !! FREEDOM !!
No curfew, no rules, restrictions, and no make up on days i don't want to put it on....

I think your pretty lucky to know me, cuz, if i send this to you, i would do anything for you, anytime, all you need do is ask, and the door is always open to you....

you have a terrific week, this week and look for me again soon, i haven't recieved any letter from you for a while, and i'd sure like one...
