Bob

Bob is doing well on the medicine so far and will most likely come home tomorrow (Thursday).

Bob

is being admitted to the Clinic for a few days to start a new medication that has to be closely monitored. This is for his a-fib.

I apologize for the last dumb post.

Comes A Time In Your Life

when you really feel you can't be responsible anymore, for another living being's welfare. When you don't even really care about your own welfare, so long as no one else is being needy. When you just want Peace and Quiet. When you want to rest easy, knowing that all the children you had are safe, and secure and can take care of themselves; and that your parents don't need you, either, for whatever reason. Which happens and is lots of the time, worse, because you have that guilt factor in there - well at least I did for multiples of reasons, none of which make sense, but I'm not trying to make sense right now. You don't even (or especially) want to deal with needy friends. (that would be the only kind of friends I ever had - which is why I made a point of never making any more of them). My GOD - do they ever care what's going on in your own life?? No; they don't.

I think it comes with age, because you get SO damn tired, at least I am. All of the worry and stress from raising kids and just damn trying to get through life ALIVE until the end of it all, wears you out. It's taking the responsibility for others that's a killer. And then if you have a spouse who gets ill and doesn't seem to know how to proceed, or flat out rebels, it's even worse. Well, like I say to all the plants I plant, "Live or Die!" It's your damn choice. I can't be constantly hovering because I will die too, someday; THEN WHAT?

DANG ROSE BUSHES.
(of course, I get sidetracked again, in the middle of a deep thought)

Bobby and Kim Will Have A Baby

.... BOY! In October.
Let us see; that is seven grandsons for me. Yes, and one granddaughter. I'm not complaining though! All my grandsons (and granddaughter too) are irreplaceable in my book, and I need lots of strong grandsons to wheel me to Bingo halls in my old age. Old(er) age. So far I can wheel myself and I wheel just fine, thank you.

And to play video games with online ;) - that is what I did with Brandon tonight. I have been playing World of Warcraft by myself for several months now and very badly, too I might add. I spent the first whole week running around dead, and lost, and looking for my corpse, so I thought at first it was a very boring game and WHAT COULD POSSIBLY BE THE POINT OF THIS. Gradually I came to see the point of it and now I am hooked.
But! Brandon has obviously played before so it was fun teaming up with him but I feel kind of bad because I know he could surely do better without me slowing him down.

And so, a new grandson. I am looking already for cheap airfare in late October or early November so we can view the new one as soon as possible. I don't know though I am still recovering from the feat of flying to Montana and back without crashing, whew. The plan would be a long weekend, look for a bed and breakfast, etc. Well if we can't fly we will have to wait - unless Plan A kicks in then all bets are off.
