Quick Quips

Well its been ages since I have been up to blog. Not sure if the lack of interest is due to being busy, apathy or just nothin to write about but this should at leasy update things.

I took my yearly trip to Virginia to visit my dad. My sister was there the same time as me and that was great. My youngest bro showed up for the 4th of July holiday and the older bro, with family in tow showed uo on the 4th. All was great until once again older bro turned into the ass and made personal attacks on me and my son. I don't know what his issue is but I am really getting tired of it. He has been on Peter's and my back for at least 7 years now. He always claims it amazing that Peter isn't in jail like he predicted he would be 7 years ago. Granted Peter hasn't been an angel, but its not he has been some gun totten thug. I mean Peters list of trouble includes numerous traffic tickets, a few detentions in school and a 5 day in school suspension for setting off firecrackers in the cafateria, which the principal admitted was something he had also done in school. And yes Peter had some emotional issues to work through because of his wonderful father and along with that I got a mouthy kid, but he has turned out ok. He is straight edge (no drugs, no smoking, no alcohol)and is starting EMT training in September. ANyway the over all vacation was pleasant and relaxing. Wish I coulda stayed longer

I put in some new gardens in, in the back yard. I am trying to make the barren back yard my escape to a peaceful hide away. I want to make it so when your in the back yard you can't see other houses. Kind of a pretend oasis far away from humanity. Lots more plants to go, but it is a start.

I now have another ferret on permanent meds. Lielah was diagnosed with Adrenal disease and requires monthly Lupron shots. Not a cheap drug, but I made a commitment to my critters and I carry through with their care with no qualms.

I had my 2 year mark at my job. Wooohoooo.

June was a busy month. I had lots of dog walking/sitting that kept me busier than I would have liked. I am taking a break from pet sitting due to other issues that have come up.

I took on cleaning the office for extra money when the normal cleaning lady quit. It helps pay the vet bills and sometimes for my meds. Can't sneeze at that

I have been thinking of getting contacts. I hate wearing glasses. I hate they way they steam up when going from A/C to outside or outside to A/C. I hate the constant switching of glasses for driving normal use and working at my desk. Mostly I hate the way I look in glasses.

Boring....ya I know....but no real deep thoughts have had time to get into my head....things have been hectic and I just feel like I am running a rat race lately. There was only dial up while on vacation and I just didn't see it worth the hassle or effort.
