Hey Man!
I started my ole lawnmower like always and it's the kind that doesn't go on it's own. I always say I want all the exercise that comes with it but really I'm too cheap to spend the extra money for an upgrade on the mower. Yeah man! Oh well so I am moving along and it is a real hot day at least in the mid 90's for sure. So I get to the edge and instead of edging later I start to pull the grass out with my own hands. All of a sudden I see several bee's coming out from the grass. It looks like I might have hit a small nest of some sort. So now I am feeling a nice strong sting on my ankle and also I am feeling my face is getting a little funny feeling too. It's when I start feeling some pains in my chest that I thought I might make this come to an end now. So I got in the house and as I was laying down that the pains in my chest were getting worse. Now I am starting to worry since the pain is very very bad now. And I am also feeling the bee stings pretty bad now. So since I really couldn't spot any of the stingers I figured that I would just start scrubbing and little by little I would scrub those stingers right out of my body. It seemed to make sense to me at the time since it was really hurting now. I'll tell you that after the shower when I was laying down I was in some really bad pain, and it was all over. I really came close to going to the hospital but it was meeting night and they were dressed and ready to go, so I just said I'll be fine just go on without me. At that I was trying to be the brave guy and was out to make the family proud of me. I hope they were since I had some serious pain. The worst was my hands were swollen and very painfull. But being truthful I did get a little scared that I was close to having some sort of heart attack or just a very bad attack or an allergy attack from the stingers. It's scary when you get close to things like that. So today I went out and finished the yard and nothing bad happened. Let's see if a surprise visitor is somewhere now.

It's Tomorrow
Hey Man!
Well today we all went to the pool and that's me and the kids, that's we. We had a very good time there, the sun was shinning nice and strong. Actually I left first since they were having such a good time that I just left them there. Tomorrow it will be 7:30am and then it's over. I am headed straight to the jewish deli to get my very special food that I love so very much. It is the smoked salmon topped with a red onion and a very nice ripe tomato. Yum! After two days of eating only jello and cubed soup that will be such a great pleasure, one that I will really be looking forward to. I am even getting a little excited thinking about it being over. Especially since I have to be there at 7:30am so I should be out of there by eleven am at the latest or at least I pray that it would be the latest time possible until I get out of there. I almost feel like wearing my tennis shoes so I could dart out of there like I was shot right out of a cannon. I will be darting out of that place like a firecracker was placed you know where to give me that added charge to get going alot quicker. I will be one happy dude after that.

The Procedure
Hey Man!
Well it is only two days away before it's time for the procedure. The worst thing about it is the days before. This time it's two days of going through the strict diet and the cleansing of the body. It is all clear liquids only and no solid foods at all. It always makes it harder when you have to watch the family eating all the good things that they normally like to fix and eat. They were all eating those wonderful tomato sandwiches and of course I just love them. This is a very important procedure which people over fifthty should go through and then do it just about every five years or so. If you are found to have pollops then you must do it more frequently. It is a way to prevent cancer and there are not that many that are preventable like this one. Like I said the days leading up to the procedure are the hardest days of all. You get to fill this prescription that has this liquid that you are to drink the night before the procedure. That takes about three hours to drink and tha is the final cleaning process. It's also a little hard drinking the boulion soup that is perfectly clear. It is basically some water and you drop one boulion cube in it for some flavoring to make it a little tasty. So I have one more day to take in these clear liquids and then the final day you report at 7:30am and the procedure takes place at that time. So at least there is not that much waiting on that last day which is so good. On top of everything it's great to get all cleaned out so long as you keep remembering that only the clear liquids must you take in.

A Scare at The Labor Dept.
Hey Man!
Well it was a little scary when they told me how I had to come right in since my claim was over due. But the paper I received in the mail said to just keep filing and everything would be just fine. So I left at seven am the next morning and off I went to the labor board. I got there very early but these days it has really gotten busy, so busy that they had added chairs everywhere. So after arriving very early I had to wait and wait and wait. It is a good thing that I brought my watchtower since I had plenty of time, so much time that I finished my watchtower completely. Yes that place was jamming. But when they called my name everything went real smooth and after just a couple of minutes I was on my way home with the job done. I told the lady how bad I felt since I was still out of work but she said don't worry the jobless rate is growing as we speak. So after that I knew it wasn't just me but the economy had really dropped. So today my wife and I had a good day going to the gym to work out for about an hour. It always feels good when we do that. Especially since my checks weren't going through so we were behind in paying our bills. I had to go and withdraw some from the savings to make things right. When we have to do that it is always heartbreaking.

Where is It?
Hey Man!
Well I learned a new thing yesterday and that is called facebook. I feel a little gayish to be me and be on facebook but it seems like all my friends are there and then some. So I feel I am just moving with progress this time. What can you say about that. The only thing bad is if you have people you don't want to talk to then you could be in trouble with them toning in and wanting to be friends and if you let someone be friends that you don't know that well then stinky things could happen to you. Well yesterday I heard a bad thing that hurt. It was when a daughter called her in-laws and asked them about their divorce and her reply from them was that they were in favor of the divorce. Even my Mom when I told her once was not happy about me getting a divorce. She may have done everything possible to push me to that point but when she realized that it was going to happen she was sad and didn't want that to happen to me. But that was not the case for my daughter since the in-laws wanted their son to leave her. They had no consolling words and no way did they want them to get back together. So to them marriage is not sacred and special I guess. Even if that would not be my choice I would never be behind the divorce. Especially since you can't pick their spouse in the first place anyway. So what does it all mean? Whatever you get from it I guess.

Sunday is Over!
Hey Man!
Well like I said it's over for this week anyway. People are divorcing and others are arguing and peopkle are looking as to who gets the kids. It is getting crazy, so it's like welcome good ole Monday. Probably the worse thing is when I talked to my mom and she told me that the hospital she is in told her she had less than 3 years left in her life. That floored me especially since I never thought someone could just tell her something like that. I thought they would have to consult the family or something like that. Especially since she has a weak heart and who knows what information like that could do to her. She is laid up in the hospital with very bad legs where she can't even get around on her own. That is a big reason she can't go home yet and she did let me know about her wish to be at home when that scary day would come to get her. It is good right now that some of the family is visiting her at the hospital. Really most of the gratitude goes to kristina who at twenty one takes on alot of this. She shows her love to mom almost every day by visiting her and also bringing her food and helping her with her clothes. The rest of the family lives too far to help at this time but still that is no excuse. But the praise still goes to kristina since she is doing something that is way beyond praise. It is worth so much thankfulness I could not even begin with the praise. She is doing something very special right now and I don't think she even realizes how special it really is. I try telling her at every chance I get and that's by saying," what would happen if you were not able to do what you are doing, I would not even want to think about it". What a girl!

It is Rough!
Hey Man!
Sometimes you don't realize how good things are until it's too late. Even if you have people in the family that you don't feel like you are that close to them, you can find out later how much they did mean to you. Sometimes you don't see too much of that person and pretty much you don't think about them that much either. But all of a sudden they are breaking up and you will now loose that person from your family and even though you didn't see them that much but now you know they will be gone. So I guess I took them for granted in a way but at the time you felt like that's the way they liked it and of course you are not the type of person that would ever rock the boat. Not now, not ever. So now they are just about gone all but the crying and picking up the pieces. So it is always good to remember that when they are gone it's too late because by then the crying won't help, nothing will help at that time. And of course you wanted to step in and show your concerns but you didn't want to but in either. So when you didn't really think it was serious you stayed out of it for fear you would make it bad. Now that it has gotten really bad you think you should have said something from the beginning and maybe you could have prevented this if at all possible. It is so sad and remember it's loosing a member that really wasn't in your life that much at all. So it does make you realize what loosing family members does especially when kids are involved too. It makes me so sad especially since I really thought him and I always had this connection, I know we weren't close but I always thought that we were buddies. Now that this much time has passed there is nothing I could see me doing except start the crying machine. I might have let pride get in the way or maybe I felt I would make it worse instead of going with the gut feeling. Don't let this happen without interjecting your thoughts like I did.
