weekly observations department:
Ballbuster of a month. Family member has been diagnosed with cancer (not sharing too much out of privacy reasons, but it’s real shit, and it’s going to be a bitch of a fight). Father continues to get weaker, and I am looking at placing him in a nursing home – he will, sooner rather than later, require the 24/7 monitoring and assistance. I do not like change, and I certainly do not like all this change all at once – hence, the title of today’s despatch, « Me, I’d like it all to stop ! »
unrelated writings department:
the fact that once again, we have a St. Patrick’s weekend where it’s 60 and beautiful on Saturday it’s snowing dick on Sunday prove the immutable truth:
the Good Lord supports getting torqued with your friends outside of Durty Nelly‘s during the parade, but does not support the freaks who get dressed up in spandex to run circles around my subdivision at six in the morning for a charity event !
