September 17

It's raining!!!! Well, it will be soon. Very soon. There are thunderstorms and shit all around and the lightning is getting closer. They're calling for some seriously heavy rain starting tonight through late Thursday or early Friday. Could get interesting, lol. Last night it ended up raining off and on most of the night and it stayed wet and squishy all day. I'll definitely take this over the super freaking hot shit anytime :-)

So when I got home this morning TK was asleep and TH was at work. I had talked to TH all the way home so I pretty much just stayed up for a while and chatted with him. Went to bed around 9:30 or so and woke up at 6:00. Hung out with TH and TK, scrounged something for dinner, watched an episode of Orange Is The New Black, and now I'm at work. Other than that, not much going on. I think if TK is awake when I get home in the morning we might go check a couple of Targets to see if we can find TH's present. Saturday is his birthday but he's going to have to work. He'll be off Sunday though so we're celebrating then. That gives us one more day to find a present and make the brownies!

Noms for the day: Eh. Better, but still not great. I didn't realize that I had bought regular chili instead of turkey chili until after I had opened it. Oops, lol.

Song: KONGOS - I'm Only Joking. A new one!

Best thing: My buddy who took the job down at the clubhouse came through last night with a cart full of frogs that he caught for me to play with!! Cause I love froggies :-)

Worst thing: Right before I left work this morning one of the stupid gates fucked up so I had to write an incident report and go out and fuck with it. Everything was all squishy and gross and I got muddy >:-(

Okey dokeys then.

Ugh. So one of the guys at work called in sick today. My boss ended up staying and working half of his shift and I came in early to work the other half. Well actually I got here at 7:00 pm but I'm staying until 7:00 am to make it a 12 hour shift. Lovely :-/ On the other hand though, yay for overtime! So, yeah. It started raining while I was on the way here and it has pretty much rained off and on for the last 4 hours or so. I think there's a pretty good chance for more rain the next couple of days. That will be nice :-)

So when I got home this morning TH was at work and TK was still awake. We went to Walmart to buy him some sweatpants and look for a birthday present for TH. Didn't find what we were looking for but we bought a card and some stuff to make birthday brownies. Because nom :-) Got home and hung out for a while, played some GTA V, then my boss texted me to see if I could come in early. Sigh. I ended up going to bed around 11:00 or so and got up at 5:00. Took a shower and chatted with TH for just a minute then left for work. I always forget how bad traffic sucks when I have to go in early until I actually get out on the road. It seriously blows. So now I'm at work, almost 5 hours into a 12 hour shift. At least now it's starting to slow down a little bit. Those first couple of hours were busier than shit.

Noms for the day: Better, but still not there.

Song: Third Eye Blind - How's It Going To Be. Random shuffle.

Best thing: My mom had an appointment today with the doctor who did her surgery. He said that the tests and everything came back and it looks like they managed to get all of the cancer!!! They still want her to do a followup scan in a couple of months, then every 6 months for a couple of years, but right now it all looks good :-)

Worst thing: Stupid long shift :-/

Poop.

September 15

Not much going on again today. TK was asleep when I got home this morning and TH was at work so I hung out for a while and talked to him on the phone. Went to bed around 9:00 or so and got up at 6:00. TH made tater tot casserole for dinner. I made a loaf of banana bread and we ate dinner and hung out until time for me to come to work. So, yeah...

Noms for the day: I think I'll be back on it tomorrow!

Song: Bruno Mars - Grenade. Random shuffle.

Best thing: Talked to my mom for a while last night. She seems to be doing well :-)

Worst thing: Headache :-/

Yeehaw.

September 14

Sunday night, back at work. Not really much going on, either. I got here a few minutes early tonight because my boss had to work, then be back in the morning at 6:00. One of the other guys here needed off. I'm hella nice, lol. It's a little cooler tonight, only like 70 instead of 75 or so. It was nice and cool this morning when TH left for work. I'm totally ready for the whole fall and winter thing :-)

So let's see. Got home Friday morning and TH was at work and TK was still awake. We went to HEB to pick up a couple of things then stayed up for a while playing GTA V. Took a nap until TH got off at 4:00. He stopped by Papa Murphy's on his way home so we had pizza for dinner and watched The Edge of Tomorrow. It was actually not bad! TH went to bed and I took a quick nap then headed out to drive for a while. It had rained earlier in the day so it was still a little wet and drizzly but not bad. It was pretty slow though :-/ I drove until around 4:00 then headed home. Everyone was asleep so I hung out for a little while (quiet!!!) then went to bed.

September 11

:-( There's not really much to say that hasn't been said, that isn't said every year, so that's all I've got. Simple is better, I guess.

So anyway, it's finally Thursday night! I know I was off Monday but it seems like this has been a long ass week. So yay! Got home this morning and TK was still awake so we played a little GTA V and went to bed around 11:00 or so. TH woke me up when he got home around 5:00 and I hung out with him until time to come to work. And that's pretty much it, lol. It rained a little bit after I got to work and there's a decent chance for more rain this weekend. Plus a "cold front", so hopefully our super hot days are over :-)

Noms for the day: Eh.

Song: Alan Jackson - Where Were You (When The World Stopped Turning). :-/

Best thing: Thursday night!!

Worst thing: :-(

Yeah.

September 10

Not much going on today. Got home this morning and TK was still awake so we played a little GTA V and went to bed around 9:30 or so. Got up just before TH got home around 4:00 and helped TK study for his Algebra test for a little while. TH got home and we made burgers for dinner then I took another quick nap. And now I'm at work. I got stuck in a construction zone on the way here and ended up sitting there for like 15 minutes, which kinda sucked. Still managed to make it here on time though. Yay, lol.

So, my mom got to go home today! She has a followup appointment Friday morning and then different appointments almost every day next week to check on all kinds of stuff. They want her to use oxygen all the time for now instead of just at night until they can see what's going on with her breathing and everything. She texted me earlier and it sounds like she's feeling much better. So that's awesome :-)

Oh, and this was gross, but kinda cool. So I guess someone ran over a rabbit at work yesterday and when I got there last night it was still laying out in the middle of the driveway. I was standing outside at one point and a coyote ran up and grabbed it and carried it off into the woods! Ewwww, but cool, lol.

Noms: Nope.

Song: Dirty Heads - My Sweet Summer. A new one.

Best thing: Mom went home!

Worst thing: Feeling kinda...gross tonight :-/ Really need to get back on the whole healthy eating thing.

Sigh.

September 9

So my mom's surgery yesterday went well but afterwards she had a little trouble with her breathing and her blood pressure was really low so they ended up admitting her to the ICU. It was a long-ass day :-/ My brother and I spent the whole day there and didn't leave until she finally got settled in a room. I talked to him earlier today and he said that she's doing much better. They still wanted her to stay again tonight but they were talking about moving her into a regular room. So that's good! They ended up taking 2 tumors off of her bladder so now they'll be sent off to the lab for analysis. Hopefully that will show that they managed to get all of the cancer. If not, they'll have to go back in for another surgery. So fingers crossed :-/

So basically that's pretty much it. Spent all day yesterday at the hospital, got home around 7:30 or so last night, stayed up and played with TK for a while, then went to bed. Slept kinda late today then helped him study for his Algebra test tomorrow. And now I'm at work. We still had leftover taco meat so I didn't cook again.

Noms for the day: Nope.

Song: American Authors - Best Day Of My Life. A new one :-)

Best thing: Mom's doing better!

Worst thing: Kinda tired and ehhhhhh.

Yep yep yep.
