Happy Birthday Vachir!
I am going on Vaca in less than one month. We are expecting 2 feet of snow today, so I am more than ready to get out of here.
Have I mentioned how much I hate this state lately? Its nuts up here! We are thinking of moving to Eastern Tenn or Western NC.
nice to see you all.

Happy Birthday Nick get yer ass back here. I have been scarce because my mother and I have been fighting off the big C word. Well, moreso her than me, but I may have lymphoma and I've been going through a battery of tests and medications to figure out what's going on. Her second round of radiation started this week so we've been busy as hell. And then it's my turn if *I* have it. OI!

So, like I posted on facebook, my father had a MRI done. Results showed that he has had three mini strokes, has fluid on the brain, and has some bleeding around the brain. None of this was serious enough for him to be hospitalized, though. Still, I am extremely worried about him. I hope they do something to treat him soon.

Ordered a new hard drive today, supposedly some gaming hard drive. Whatever, it was the highest rated, most popular one. Also got a new keyboard because I spilled some pickle juice on my sidewinder and I don't have a backup. I have some sticky keys and I need to clean them up, this new one will be a good back up. It's white, and cheap. Nice, spread out keys, and it's cute. My Brother will install the hard drive when it arrives.

That little shit fucker is alive and kicking. He is doing well. I am getting my own place come summer time and mom and I have been debating who gets custody over him. We are conflicted. On one hand, keeping him here with mom is the better choice because he will still be able to go outside and frolic. Huge yard, lots of space. And if I'm in a condo all I will have is a balcony. On the other hand, he is my cat. Or rather I am his human. Which ever you prefer. He always sleeps with me, spends most of his time with me, and pretty much follows me wherever I go. He does pester mom for cuddles ofcourse but I am his preferred person. So if he's not with me we both might have seperation anxiety or something. So maybe we will do a trial at both places to see how it works out.

A trial seems like a good idea. I know for a fact Fred would freak out without me, cuz I am his human. He likes Granny, loves Granny, loves my BF, loves his Mom, but he is my cat, and I am his mommy. Here's a link to my FB Album of my Fred boi: www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.137951389680633.30824.100003973174343&type=1&l=5eb7f0ff6cAlso, good luck with the new place this summer. Post pics, mmmkay? So there was some recent issues, my BF had his Galbladder removed, it had started to get gangrene. He had an "attack" of sorts, was rushed to the ER, and ended up staying there for about a week, and then went to a nursing home for a week. He's back now, and is still recovering. If he hadn't had the attack, he could have died from the galbladder, no one knew that it was covered in gangrene. He's having to have extra care, he's a double amputee so he's having care givers come in for an extra week for longer than usual, then I try to see if he's okay. I'm still worried but he should be alright now. And his dog is THRILLED to see her daddy back home. And Fred. Fred is also thrilled. Fred missed him as well. Fred thinks his wheelchair is curious. My father's condition is the same, but we did find out he has had more strokes in the past. He's not finding out much, they don't want to give him shit for pain, he's having migraine headaches due to the pressure on his brain. He doesn't want to go back to see these doctors because he's not getting much in the way of results. He's being difficult. Just damn. So this is a fight for all of us too. After I get back from my Mom and Brother's apartment this weekend, I'm going to put in an application at my favorite grocery store, since they are hiring. This is the first step in trying to get a job soon. I need to get my shit in order ASAP!

Well I did not get to go on my cruise that I purchased for Bryce. Damn boat caught fire and stranded 4200 people in the gulf of Mexico for a week. So whatever. We ended up driving all over texas for our vacation. While this was fun, it was not relaxing at all. And thats really what I need now.
So now I am looking for a therapist/psychiatrist. Apparently my moods change on a whim and I might be suffering from depression. Bryce thinks I might need mood stabilizers or what not. I am not really sure how i feel about all of this as I hate taking medication. But I promised him I would go talk to someone. So whatever. Now I just need to figure out what my insurance covers.

Well road trips can be fun too but a cruise does sound pretty amazing. I've never been on one. A cruise I mean. I've done plenty of road trips. I hated taking meds too. I was on em for a few months last year and I did not like it at all. They didn't make me feel funky or anything I was just uncomforable with the idea of taking them. So I slowly stopped.
Well I am thinking it might be time for me to hop on the bandwagon and get a cell phone *shudder*. With me moving soon it might be cheaper to have just a cell phone and no landline. Plus the convenience of using it wherever and whenever I want. At the same time though you see so many people's whose social lives (or rather simply just their lives) or so absorbed into the damn things. You can't go anywhere without seeing someone's head down and their eyes glued to the screen while they text. No matter what, I don't ever want to be one of THOSE people. I'm headed to Best Buy today to do some looking around and get some questions answered.

Kikaro, look into Topamax. Are you still trying to lose weight? Topamax is a miracle pill. It's helping me. It suppresses appetite and helps with depression. Topamax is used to treat borderline personality disorder, which is fancy talk for unstable moods. And treatment for weight lose. And migraines. And seizures. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TopiramateSeriously buddy. Talk to your doctor. I am so thankful for this medication. This is not some gimmicky weight loss pill you see on television. This actually suppresses hunger significantly. I have lost 45 pounds so far while on this medication. I was 375 in January of 2012. I'm now 330, last I checked. You MAY be able to get Topiramate for a low price with a Wal-Mart pharmacy card, that's what I'm doing now. I'm really glad that wasn't you and Bryce on that cruise ship. Damn, that would have been awful! I have a simple cell phone but I've lost the damned thing. I gotta find it. >.< I'm applying for a job soon. I'm starting the job process so to speak. Then driving from my mother. Granny is unwell, I have to be able to support myself! Mr. Admin had his surgery today, he said it was a tumor they removed. He said he thinks they said it looked benign, but he was still medicated, so he's not 100% sure. Please keep your fingers crossed for him. Also, his mother is extremely ill, her Cancer has returned... and it's inoperable. Please keep her in your thoughts, and prayers if you're into that sorta thing. Just don't publicly post it on Facebook, keep it here folks. He's going through a really rough time right now.

My father is sick, he has a mass on his kidney, and has been confused for days and no one knows why. He's been in the hospital for several days. He did have a urethral blockage, but it has been cleared, and it's okay now.
At any rate, I'm worried sick about him. First the stroke scare last month, and now this? Damn.
Like Dej said, he's been abusing his body for years and now it's catching up to him. Bad diet, pills, booze, smoking cigs... it's caught up.

Life sucks. Mom is sick. We dont know what is wrong with her. Been taking her to the Oncologist and now she has to have B12 shots given by me monthly. She was doing better but this weeks visit saw her Hemoglobin levels jump back to 10. So that is no bueno. Been dealing with this alone as my sister is a bitch and thought everything was fine. Guess what Big sister? ITS NOT!
SO yeah. Ive been kinda depressed, I gained about 30 pounds. Having my own health isues and the weight gain i sure a problem. Things spiral out of control so fast it seems.
