Update 02/26/06
Well, I already mentioned my new website, and I am totally excited about that. I love reading the books and researching things on the web. It has really given me something to do with my free time. Plus, it's something that I really enjoy anyway. I hope that I will be able to keep up with it and make it into the site that I want it to be. It will take a lot of time I am sure but I have such big hopes for it.
As for other things. I don't know where to begin. I guess I can start with my health, that's always a fun topic. I was finally able to get the referral for my shoulder MRI the other day and that means 1. I can find out exactly what is wrong with both of my shoulders. 2. My surgery will be happening soon. I am really excited and nervous about that. I want to have it done but it will mean that I can't do anything for a few weeks afterwards. I will just have to lay in bed. (I guess my husband will have to move the TV again, shh! I haven't told him yet).
The other day I tried to stand up from my computer chair and I pulled my shoulder muscle again. This is making this worse for me right now. I had to call my doctor and see what they could do for me. She said go back on the morphine and percocet together and that should help. It really doesn't. The big worry I have right now is that I am getting used to the pain meds and after I have the surgery, what will they give me?
There is a lot more news though. It all starts with my brother and father though. It sounds bizarre but my brother is planning to move back here to Maryland and he wants to pay for my father to move back here with him. Yeah, that's right, I went through all of the trouble of getting my father to Florida and now Jayson is going to bring him back to Maryland. They will be moving into an apartment that will be paid for by my brother's ex-girlfriend (who wants him to marry her only he doesn't really love her) in my neighborhood. My father will be able walk to my house when he gets drunk from now on. Lucky me!
I don't know how to tell my brother how bad of an idea this is. He thinks that he is doing me a favor. He said to me "You are always saying that no one else does anything to help with dad and that you have to deal with it all yourself, so I am going to take care of dad for awhile." Does this sound like helping to any of you? Okay, it might at the surface but what you don't see is that after a week of living together the two of them are going to be fighting and the police are going to be called and one of them will end up in jail. This will then become my problem because they will call me for help.
...Ok, I just got off the phone with my brother and my father...At first the plan was going to be to send my dad a bus ticket and some cash so that he could come up here and meet Jayson here on the 10th. However, recently my father was robbed (this is a common occurrence with him) and he doesn't have an id. So, my brother's new plan is to drive to Florida on his way here and pick my father up from the re-hab center that he is in. Also, my father is currently on probation and hasn't gone to see his probation officer yet. Now, he's leaving the state without telling them. Does it get any crazier?
I am just hoping now that my brother's car can make the trip and that he doesn't let my father drive on the way back. Especially let him drive drunk. I would have to kill him if he did that. I am so worried right now you have no idea. I am not even sure that Jayson will even go through with the trip though, he still has to get all of the money together. I heard from my mother that he sold an acre of land that she had given him and now he is talking about selling some cars. I don't know who's cars they are but he is selling them so he can by an old Honda Prelude for $700. I love Honda but I don't know if a $700 car can make it that many miles in just a couple of days.
Once they get here, I will have to make some rules. Not so much for my brother but for my dad. I really don't want him showing up here at 2 am drunk and wanting me to come to the door or even calling me drunk. I have a feeling that this is going to turn out really bad, not just for me but for Jayson too. I know that he, like me, wants to help dad and get him some help. But I don't think that dad is going to help him to pay any bills or even take care of the apartment. I worry that Jayson will end up on the street just like dad is now, because dad doesn't care whether or not he has a place to live. He just wants his beer.
I really have so much to say about this but I feel that I am going on too much. It's just that I am alone right now and I need to vent a little about this whole thing. I am still getting phone calls as I type. They both keep calling to find out what is going on or to tell me what to tell the other on. What the hell am I?
I better go lay down now and try to rest a little before the next phone call.
