January 2009

Not really off to an auspicious start this year. I spent New Year's Day in the ER with chest pains.

Going to the ER is sort of like taking your car to the mechanic. It works fine the moment you get it in the repair shop and starts clunking the moment your get it home.

Same issue with ER's. I had an EKG, all sorts of blood work - no heart attack or blood clots.

The doctor said he 'could' keep me over night and they could do a stress test in the morning. He didn't say I 'should'. So I opted for home. I should have opted to stay. Bed rest sucks, the test would have been done. Unfortunately, the b/f didn't speak up and say anything and has gone from overbearing coddling to the far away you've got cooties attitude....or so it seems.

On top of all of that........no alcohol, caffine or nicotine. Which would have been fine because I had really had myself set up to quit smoking this weekend. It didn't quite happen but I'm close. I've reset my date for January 11.

Monday, Monday

This was Valentine's weekend and we really did have a lovely Day. We had some time a lone and spent a lovely dinner at our favorite place: Panzano's. The food was delicious, the wine wonderful, and the people watching spectacular. Warren really seemed to love the watch I gave him and I think was really touched that I 'took him' out for dinner. He gave me a gorgeous necklace and we broached the subject of 'forever' without actually saying anything. I love how we dance around that subject without coming to a conclusion, however, I think it's just a matter of time. Missy continues to make strides (and not jsut walking my ass off). She has gotten into this thing about not coming out of the bedroom for other people. However, this morning as I was trying to get her ready for her walk she just jumped off of the sofa. Twice. I think in her excitement to go she forgot about the devil incarnate (better known as Lucy, the cat). We have taken to keeping Lucy in ...

6 Months of Doctor's

Ok, so sounds like Hayley now has either bronchitis or pnuemonia.............along with her Mono. Dad is taking her to the doctor this afternoon so we should know something by dinner time. So, after the gall bladder/appendix in September, the portal vein thrombosis in October, the shots, the doctor visits, back to the hospital in December, thought we were getting better in January, got the Mono in February, and now maybe Bronchitis in March.........holy smokes. Wonder if she's even going to make it through 8th grade? Wonder.

Both Sides Now

      I haven't written about dad's actual death yet, it still hurts too much and I fear the tears would never stop.      Over the last few months mom has gone on a spree, giving away and donating things they've collected over the 50 plus years of marriage.  I don't think she realized just how much 'stuff' they had.        Dad was a picture taker.  It seems like he was always getting his camera out.  Growing up it seems that he was always taking the same group picture, the same photo of a family dinner, the same photo of holidays.  The same faces, the same Christmas tree, the same Thanksgiving table.  What I didn't realize until after he was gone and mom started going through boxes upon boxes of these pictures was that he was documenting the history of our family.  Our lives.        My throat gets tight and my eyes well with tears thinking about how our...
