Getting Back In The Swing

happy thanksgiving, my dear uk friends. i hope you've all had a great day. thank you all for your support & inspiring words. you don't realize it but you've been there for me through alot. i've read the comments & i need to think about what you've put to me. i didn't want you to think i was just gonna ignore your questions. i've been so busy this week that i hadn't noticed how much i've missed blogging. i've attended a funeral. a strange funeral. the guy & his family knew he was dying. he was told he had cancer & given options for treatment, all of which he declined. at first, till it was too late. he layed in the hospital for 3 weeks before his family even thought to bring him any magazines. finally, someone else mentioned taking him out to the chapel, bringing in magazines or books & having a counselor stop in to visit. thats when the family said, 'duh, why didn't we think of that'.
while he was fighting the pain & preparing for his own funeral the doctor gave him marijauna to
help him through it all. i guess he would get happy & hungry because of it. momma decided
he acted too stupid so she decided not to give it to him. hell, woman! what was you thinking? i
can't imagine not letting someone laugh through their last few months if thats a possibility. just
cos she didn't like the way he acted while he was stoned. how self centered can one woman be? anyway, the funeral was a singing funeral. they played some of his favorite songs & let any-one sing a song that knew a song. it was, well, strange. i'm glad i went for the support of my friend but i was also glad when it was over.
we've been working on the car. just cleaning it up. washing, waxing & buffing it to a beautiful shine. we armoralled the inside & tires. put the top down & got it stuck! yeah, that was just my luck. oh no, just my luck was it rained while it was stuck down. we had to suck it dry with a heavy duty vacumm. but i love it. its a beautiful car. my dream car. i need to winterize it with an oil change & tuneup. put some new tires on it & vroom, vroom! i'll be the bitch blowing down the road in the hot red lebaron. maybe next spring i can afford a new rag top for the baby. i need ideas for her name. have you ever named your cars? i sound like i'm 16 again, don't i?
i've just about finished with the redecoration throughout my house. i still need to paint my bedroom & carpet to match. i'd like to put a day bed with a trundel under it for the girls in the front room. thats another expense i can't afford right now.
i'm hoping hubby will go to work sometime this week so i can afford the tires for the car. if not, i'm fucked on that one until my next payday. the good thing is i have an extra check next month. i'll be able to do several things then.
oh, how could i forget? i haven't told you all about replacing the front door. hubby & i working together on that one & its a story you have to hear. not now. its way to involved for tonight.
i'm gonna fix my lunch for tomorrow & hit the sack for now.
later.
