  • Mom is going HOME!

    Tomorrow I am taking Mom home.

    YES! HOME!

    You can only imagine how happy she is. I am so happy too.

    I am so mean...but isn't this recovery picture awesome?

    For very true reasons because she is definitely steadily improving and doing better daily and selfishly because it will be so wonderful to just go home after work.

    Work is so so so busy. I work late every night and usually work through most of lunch. Going right home afterward instead of fighting traffic and sitting around a hospital room only to go home to finish up work (this I will still do...) I needed to take home is going to be so amazingly awesome.

    I am always on the go...

    I have not really had much of a chance to sit around on my new couch.

    Poor poor pitiful me...you know it is not true. I am just whining. Being a baby ass.

    My son is heading out on the road for a mini tour. He has come to hang out with me for a couple of days. It is really nice to have him around, if only for a couple of evenings after work.

    This is a 1974 model, the antenna on mine is on the back

    I did in fact bring that sweet little Benz home. It is sitting in my carport right now. This is a cute little car. I will not be able to drive it much til next week. I have my mom's Jeep, my Fiat is being extremely persnickety this time around. More headache then head turner. Knowing that mom would be coming home any time, I left the convertible at her place and have been borrowing her Jeep since the weekend. I will have to drive her Jeep home for the night after taking her home since the Fiat's head lights sometimes work and sometimes...not so much...It is so very very Italian.

    I look forward to settling into a more homebody mode so very soon. I want to hang around my place and get my backyard in shape for summer. Mowing and weeding and spray testing the mister. It is finally heating up to the higher digits around here. Finally...half way through June. Can you believe it?

    My son tells me of a Placerville local who goes by the moniker "Hangtown Homeboy", who, during the Brewfest, climbs this very bell tower and rings the bell managing to escape the cops every year...true or so I hear...

    I have managed to squeeze in a little fun and rabble rousing in between long stretches of nothing. The weekend following this one is Brewfest in Placerville. I will go stay at my friend Kim's place. We will mill and swill. Her couch is reserved for me to stumble on to. I have confirmed my reservation this very eve. I will have to alert my Placerville Posse of my arrival.

    I do mean YOU!


    Thank you for coming around and commenting and supporting me through this trying time. Life is life, for all of us, when times seem tougher than usual there is no group of people that I can count on more to rally around and see the bright side no matter how dimly I present it than each and every one of you xanga-neighbors. I love you all.

    Thank you!

    That's great news about your mom. I know you both will be glad when she's released from the hospital and she, I know, will be so glad to get back on her own turf.

    What's that slur about Italians supposed to mean? Eh? Hey! OH! My hubby is of Italian descent...he works his ass off...for ME baby!!! Don't make me come over and drown some goldfish!! lol...

    Maybe you haven't gotten to enjoy your new sofa much but I'm sure your son will!! lol.

    Love you Cassilou. Enjoy your new found freedom!

    Glad mom's finally getting to come home!  And how cool  you got the Benz!

  • James

    Oh Dahling, I luv the shoes. They're positively divine. So good to hear about your Mom too. I was so worried about her I couldn't read any more. Well, that and I haven't been around the old xang lately. I was so afraid she was going to die! Well, I know we're all going to die--someday, but we keep hoping someday will be, well, you know, someday but not today.


    Oh, I hope you like the Benz and that it behaves well for you. I had an earlier model like the one you bought some years back and it was self-healing. May you get one of those. The one I have now doesn't get out much so not much healing is needed. Only twenty thousand miles on it and it's a 2002. Dang, it ain't even broke in good yet.
    luv and stuff . . .
  • In_My_Own_Little_Corner

    I am happy for you that your Mom is finally getting to come home!  Take care of you and enjoy some much needed time with your posse!

  • lotsayears
