:Shennanigans:

I do not even know where to begin; so much has been going on and I cannot decide whether to blink my a** or scratch my eyes. Seriously.

Due to major, Rx induced, brain farting, this recap is WAY out of chronological order, but it sums it all up quite well...

Landed back in the hospital for three days for a colitis attack. No idea what brought it on, but I am now drugged to the absolute hilt. I swear, if one more thing goes wrong, I am dumping every drug and starting from zero. There is NOTHING in ANY medical text that reads it is healthy to be on as many drugs as I am at one time. Ugh, and do not even get me started on this round of steroids. Gah.

M/i/l ended up staying at our house for a night. All in all, it was a pleasant visit; but I am not going to kid myself into believing anything other than this - it went well because her anger was directed at other people, so I was in the *safety zone*. Nope, not going to kid myself one bit that if her rage had not existed, it would certainly havebeen directed at me; not necessarily as rage, mind you, but as her ever present *I am better than you will ever be in housekeeping, laundry, taking care of R, and all else in G**'s World* attitude. Yep. Not fooling me. I am, however, thankful I was in a position (R was working) to help her out and give her a place to sleep. We had a lovely dinner out together, pleasant and thoughtful conversation, and a nice morning the following day. No, really, we did! Stop staring at the screen like I just told you martians landed in your front yard... Sometimes the unthinkable happens. The Universe is weird like that.

Granted, we did have a quite pleasant trip to R's parental's home for Mother's Day, but I owe that in LARGE part to R's dad for (1) letting it be a surprise to the m/i/l, and (2) keeping it VERY short. By the end, some of her *attitude* was coming to the surface. Lesson learned: small doses. Small doses only.

I will say that these two interactions would NEVER have happened even a few short months ago; but after my tumor and surgery and R's dad's accident, it was time for all of use to re-evaluate the situation and life in general.

Cancelled my trip to see my aunt for a few days. R and I thought it would be nice to stay with her while he works five days straight, but, alas, it was not meant to be - my hospitalization was only a day prior to when I would have left. Total bummer. I know it is only a postponement, but it feels like such a HUGE let-down after getting excited. *harumph*

Ugh, and the weather! The rain and hail, oh, and tornados, in California are NOT supposed to be here in the end of May. What the heck, Gomer? Hail in May? You have got to be kidding me. Yesterday, hail and rain (the tornados are well away from us); today, more rain. I love it, I love it, I love it. Really, I do; it is just that it is weird for this time of year in SoCal. The tornados though, they gotta go back to the midwest where they belong. Period.

Which brings me to this - there is a private entry following this one (see, I remembered!) for more intimate stuff and going ons...

Arrivederci!

Ghost Orchid - are they not simply lovely?
