another worry
i haven't heard from jose moreno. our last text was a month ago and it's been a two weeks and he hasn't answered any texts or voice messages. He said he was recovering from his hernia surgery but was still in a lot of pain. he's not answering my messages. please be okay, jose.
Something I stole from Wendy
I wish I had a magic wand
To make it go away;
I'd wave my scepter over you
Until you were okay.
I'd think good thoughts; I'd send you love;
I'd transmit healing vibes;
My wand and I would surely beat
Whatever the doc prescribes.
But there is no magic scepter, so
I cannot cast a spell;
Just know you're often in my thoughts,
And I hope you'll soon be well!

all at once
by Bonnie Raitt
All at once I hear your voice
And time just slips away
Nothing they can say could hold me here
Take me where I only feel
The wind across my face
Let me know there's someplace left for me
Waiting just for me.
They say women, we're the stronger
Somehow we always make it through
Hell, that ain't how I feel right now
I don't even think it's true
Looks to me there's lots more broken
Than anyone can really see
Why the angels turn their backs on some
Is just a mystery to me.
but i didn't have a fight with my daughter
i'm having a fight with myself
Update Don
he finally called. he can't get on the schedule to make calls as easily as i had hoped he would. we saw him on the 23rd of January and it's the five of February. shit, that's over two weeks. that sucks.
he's not getting better. but doesn't want to complain too much or they'll put him back in the hospital. he likes the sun and the air he can get to when he's in the yard. we aren't going to try and get him downstairs for fear they will move him to Vacaville. he ran out of his medication orders on thursday and he saw the surgeon on friday for an endoscopy. he wouldn't work on him because he looked so bad. the surgeon did renew his meds order. he more bloated now than he was and eating makes it worse. we're sending cash to c.white so Don can buy some fish and rice from the canteen. he says there's nothing to do; he's just waiting to die. i told him he was supposed to watch me die not the other way around.
there's no one in the family except for Jamie that i can talk to about Don. breaks my heart that i can't tell Mom because it would only upset her whole world for nothing. i can't talk to Kasey because she always tells me i am thinking and/or feeling about it the wrong way. at least that's she makes me feel. i know it's not her intention; it's just her way.
jamie says that depending on his next call/status, we will go back up there before the scheduled end of May visit. that's too long to wait, just too long.
he promised he would call me as often as possible, he promised.
it feels like my whole world is on hold. between Don and no jobs and our condo, there really isn't anything that feels stable or right or headed in a good direction,
blah blah blah.
i told him i'd send this picture of us to him.
and here are my other favorites:
this is how i remember him

Friday February something
not working and your spouse not working creates a weird kind of bubble around your life. i don't remember what day of the week it is and i have to look at my phone to find out the date.
and on the days that i think i know what day of the week it is, i'm always wrong.
i do know that in the future i will look back at all this time and kick myself in the ass for not doing ________ (fill in the blank).
and so knowing that information now, what should i do today?

Picklebutt update:
Kasey and Toyoji had an appointment to get him some shots today. Four shots in one day for polio, chicken pox hepititas A and MMR (whatever that is).
In Kasey's words: 4 shots today. Screaming bloody fricking murder = a trip to Toys R Us, a new stuffed LegoMan and 3 JuicyPops. Because mama had to HOLD him down while some strage woman hurt him... The reaction to having to pee in a cup was just as bad as the reaction/apprehension as getting shots. What the what? <sigh>
and here is his reward.

THESE REALLY WORK!!
AMAZINGLY SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES:
1. AVOID CUTTING YOURSELF WHEN SLICING VEGETABLES BY GETTING SOMEONE ELSE TO HOLD THE VEGETABLES WHILE YOU CHOP.
2. AVOID ARGUMENTS WITH THE FEMALES ABOUT LIFTING THE TOILET SEAT BY USING THE SINK.
3. FOR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE SUFFERERS ~ SIMPLY CUT YOURSELF AND BLEED F OR A FEW MINUTES, THUS REDUCING THE PRESSURE ON YOUR VEINS. REMEMBER TO USE A TIMER..
4. A MOUSE TRAP PLACED ON TOP OF YOUR ALARM CLOCK WILL PREVENT YOU FROM ROLLING OVER AND GOING BACK TO SLEEP AFTER YOU HIT THE SNOOZE BUTTON.
5. IF YOU HAVE A BAD COUGH, TAKE A LARGE DOSE OF LAXATIVES. THEN YOU'LL BE AFRAID TO COUGH.
6. YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE.
7. IF YOU CAN'T FIX IT WITH A HAMMER, YOU'VE GOT AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.
DAILY THOUGHT:
SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE SLINKIES - NOT REALLY GOOD FOR ANYTHING BUT THEY BRING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE WHEN PUSHED DOWN THE STAIRS.

just got back from the japanese market today
Mom gave me a new electric skillet for my b'day and i'm making sukiyaki tomorrow for dinner
yeahhhhh!!!!
and then:
mom got a new car today! a new used Honda Civic 2008, i think. kasey helped her. but the best part of this whole experience was when she started rambling on "IN JAPANESE" while she told me what was going on and who she talked to, etc. It's happened several times in the last six months and it's usually after she has spent the morning with her sister and brotherinlaw. it's is just hilarious. i'm like... "Mom, Mom, Mom..." trying to get a word in because she's going a bazillion miles an hour in JAPANESE. it's great!
i really want to move closer to them.
really really
