Half the Year Gone...

So what does that mean, exactly?

For me it means Ian will be 3 in less than 2 weeks; still can't wrap my brain around that. It means I haven't had a job so far in 2006. It means My back's nowhere near healed. It means new problems too: numbness running down my right shoulder indicates there may be another pinched nerve in there somewhere. Seeing the doc about this next Tuesday. I'm a regular walkin' trainwreck.

School is alright, just alright. Not exactly exciting. Submitted my FAFSA and TAPS for this year. Maybe I'll get some money for school this time, which will enable me to go to more classes. That would be a good thing.

Been going on lots of short trips lately. Going to CT. for the 3rd time in a month on July 26th. Not sure why (meaning the occasion). The Mrs.'s mom is back in the hospital, but this time it's for open bedsores. Because she's on blood thinners, they won't stop bleeding. Of course, if they take her off the blood thinners, will that make her other conditions worsen? See, therin lies the dilemma. Then one on her good friend's moms ended up with cancer, so of course she's very morose at the moment. You can see the wheels turning in her head, worrying about when it will be her mother's turn. I don't like to see her this way, but there's little I can do about it. She dwells.

Got to make the goody bags for Bubba's party. Hired a 'soft clown', which supposedly means the makeup's not too frightful. There will be singing, musical games, magic, etc.

No vacation trip this year, half due to money but also due to the Mrs. wanting to be around in case the worst comes to pass. See, you can always find money to go off and do stuff. But id you leave and then your mom passes away, well...

Enough. More later in the month. Buh-bye.
