I just have a bunch of thoughts jumbling up in my head, so I'm spewing them here, both good and bad.
Good:
Bre should be in around the 10th of June, she'll get to stay for about 2 weeks before heading up towards Weltek's area. Mike will be following her here about the 20th so "Yay" the rest of the family will get to meet him. They're going for a weekend to Vegas before she reports for combat training, I warned her about Harley's, alcohol and Tunnels of Love :)
Another good - I recently reconnected with one of my dearest friends. She's a rapid cycle bi-polar (or whatever the politically correct term is this week) and anorexia. Or ED as she likes to call him, giving the disorder a male personality makes it something she can control better :). What that means for me is that any ongoing relationship usually falls to me to substain. And while I've never begrudged that last year it was just something I chose to neglect when other things were piling up. Recently I received a phone call from her mother, asking that I not give up on our friendship. Then I received a call from friend that I missed and she left a voicemail telling me about her website. So we've reconnected thru her message board, I think I'm the only non-bipolar there :) But they're a very creative group and it's lit an urge in me to get more active with my art. So I owe her a thanks. And we interact everyday now, and though it's usually just thru printed words it's still good.
Here's an excerpt from a poem she wrote for me:
As children we were best of friends,
as close as we could be,
through thick and thin we braved the world,
together, you and me.
As years went by we changed so much
but loved each other still.
No one could ever tear apart
the bond that we did feel.
It made me cry.
An inbetween good:
I move my job home at the end of this month. Pro's are obvious, cons are I'm a bit nervous, and I'm going to miss most of the work relationships. I'm sure I'll have more to write about this when it happens.
Yuckies:
It's rained so much here the lakes and rivers are swollen. That means boat is still not docked and the float trip we have planned for when Mike and Bre are in are iffy. Ugh
Dad is not taking care of himself where his diabetes is concerned. In front of people he takes care of his diet, no desserts, bread and diet drinks only. But when he's not expecting you to show up at his workshop you can find all sorts of donut wrappers, fried pie wrappers, ect. I'm angry.
Ok, enough with the bad. I'm ending on a good!
Yay, Bre's coming home soon!
Edited! So it took me forever to figure out how to edit, sue me. The post is now readable :)

Yeah, I'm commenting on my own post. So?
Sheesh that font's small! *note to self make sure you don't use "smallest" font!
Hi Tummy!
I was just going to comment on the small font as well. *grin*
Yay for Bre coming home and for connecting with your friend.
Sorry about your dad.
I hope you will enjoy working from home. I really am going to try to find something like that if possible when I look for my next job.
I fear diabetes because I KNOW I'd be a closet eater like your dad. Sigh.
I'm so happy you get to spend time with Bre. Don't worry, we'll be good to her while she's here. :-)
You're doing just fine on the bloggy thing, Tummy!
Hi Tummy!
I'm so glad Bre gets to come visit for awhile with you and it sounds like other family.
It's good you reconnected with an old friend and are also aware of her bipolar. I didn't know you had an "art" and can't wait to learn more about that.
Lastly, we've had alot of rain haven't we! I will hope that we have lots of warm, dry days to get you able to make your float trip. Is it on the Illinois?
Why did no one take pity on me and tell me that I could edit?! Doh!
Cutsy, yes down the Illinois. We went out and looked at it this weekend. It looks good to go, so I'm happy. And the boat is going to dock this weekend and if there's any family members reading this if you want to play you'd best show up for the spring cleaning *evil eye.
I like this font better than the old font. Yay for your yays and boo for your boos. I like the poem very much.
My dad is doing the same thing.
Oh, and I love that pic of the collie. I had 2 collies when I was growing up.
You already know at least one bipolar writer ;)
There's a strong correlation between the disorder and creativity. A whole lot of famous artists and writers bridge the two... dog willing, I'll be one of them someday. I'm not a rapid-cycler - I think that's Bipolar I, and I'm Bipolar II.
It's always wonderful to connect with an old friend.
Enjoy Bre's visit, dood.
My Mom does the same as your Dad. Pisses me off to no end.
There's booze in Vegas? Why didn't anyone ever warm ME about that. :)
Slice, she's the one I told you once that you remind me of, and you can take that as a compliment.
df- sheltie :)
Just shakes head at Bravie.
Hey, tummy! You've been tagged. And I learned something tonight. I thought your blog's url addy was the same as the title, and it's not. I couldn't figure out why you had a picture of some guy as your profile pic. *grin*
