I think back to nearly 10 years ago when shit started hitting the fan with Jimmy's health. Truthfully, I didn't know if he'd make it here after reading all the literature on melanoma. I thank my/Jim's lucky stars every day that he's been such a trooper and fighter and survivor. He's had a tough year but really, you wouldn't know it to talk to him or look at him. He takes everything in stride without much stress or worry and I can't take a lick of credit for any of it. (Dammit!) Hopefully this next year gives Jim a bit of a break and he can get through the whole of it without much angst. Happy birthday to Jimmy! I can't wait to celebrate this weekend.
In other news - dammit - Dad went back into the hospital yesterday. (Ugh...if it's not one thing it's another or your father or your mother or your husband.) Apparently he's got fluid around his lungs again making it hard for him to breathe or even move much. He's getting some diuretics and hopefully that will do the trick and he can get back home quickly. Fingers crossed.
I slept pretty well last night but had a TON of crazy dreams. In one I was being chased up my street at night while I was wearing a long, flowing pink nightgown. (I had to get out of bed after that one because I was so amped up.) Then I dreamt of snakes and snakes and more snakes. There were hundreds of them all coiled together and freaking me the fuck out! I had to sit up in bed and take some deep breaths and slug some water after that one. I had many more but can't really recall them. Why does my brain think such crazy thoughts!? Ugh.
I'm gearing up for an IEP and was looking at some of the surveys I'd sent this girl fill out. Her answers - if she didn't answer with IDK (I don't know) were a little concerning. Here's a sample:
3 things I like to do in my spare time: sleep, eat, play on my phone
3 words to describe myself: funny, nice, gorgeous
What do you hope you're doing in 5 years: Hopefully living off someone else's money.
I mean...what is wrong with people? I actually think this girl is incredibly self-conscious and doesn't have a lot of self-worth so item 2 is her sort of trying to talk herself into feeling this way but what do I know. She's a tough cookie and after having her for 2 years, I really feel like there may be something missing in her brain...she just seems so detached from life.
Okay well, I have a late night at work and I'm not looking forward to it. I have once conference at 5:15...no biggie but beyond that I'm going to be bored out of my mind. It's such a stupid night for my department but what are you going to do. I'll try to have a good attitude. One good thing is that they're feeding us Skyline for dinner. Yummy!
K - best mosey. Happy Thursday! Later!
