Time passes at a pace that astounds me, Summer is here already, and I love the heat! People ask if it is too hot here in Florida in the summer and the only response is: Hell yeah it’s HOT! You want cool Summers; try Alaska.
Mom is doing so much better. She healed quickly from her skin cancer surgery and we finally have her meds under control. Thank god for her VA doctor, who recognized her need for a different type of drug and her mood has improved 1000 per cent. She is enjoying life and getting around much better. She is no longer sad, and her dizzy spells have all but disappeared.
I have told my kids that if they ever see me slipping into that dark place to up my meds until I start to drool, and then back them off just a little. I see no reason to avoid medication that improves quality of life. Why extend life then not allow us the help needed to enjoy that gift. I say: Bring on the Pharmaceuticals/ Better living through chemicals! It’s funny that was a slogan that also appealed to me many years ago.
We have still been busy having fun here this Winter. We saw many concerts including Paul McCartney & Jimmy Buffet (with a parrot on my head), went to Disney numerous times, and happily entertained throngs of visitors (you all know who you are). We traveled to several sporting events,went to the Keys, and to St Augustine, baked on the sunny beaches, and attended Lockport days. The weather was as cold here as anyone remembers, but the guys never missed an opportunity to play golf. Bike week in Daytona was rainy but the report came back that those in attendance “made the best of it”, and stayed inside, if you get my drift.
The girls (Erika, Briana & Stephanie) got certified to scuba dive, and swam with the Manatees. Briana did very well in school, Erika has several exciting opportunities ahead of her and my artist/welder Steph is going down a path that I am sure will bring her great things.
We have just entered the Month of Birthdays for my posse’. We had many great parties over the winter but May/June brings so many my liver hurts just thinking about it. It began with RC’s, followed by Mark, Yours truly, Joe, Molly, Ricky & Ron all within that short span of time Ouch!
Sadly: I’m starting a JOB Monday working on the Census. My lady of leisure lifestyle is going to be interrupted for a few weeks. Do not fear it is a short time assignment and I will soon return to my self absorbed, hedonistic lifestyle with a little extra ching in my pockets to fund future adventures.
Whew: All in all things are going great, and we are still living the good life!
