So the old man had brain surgery on Thursday, was out of intensive care on Friday, and got released from hospital today. That's fast!

Surgery on pappy went very well from what I've been told. Old man is in ICU for the night and into normal recovery tomorrow. It's gonna be all sponge baths and percocet for Snake Sr.

My pappy gets brain surgery tomorrow to remove his tumor who I have named Kuato. Do a voodoo dance or something for me. I'll also accept a little hand action to get my mind off things.

Passed a major milestone at work yesterday. First on-the-job poop. As a highly territorial pooper I found it liberating.

I keep thinking about someone I shouldn't.

The next goal is to save up and get moved closer to work since gas is 4 bucks a gallon and commuting makes me want...

Yesterday I went to the Occupational Medicine center and got a physical and had my balls handled by a strange lady. I also peed in a cup and got tested. Guess which made me more nervous?

Either way I passed all tests with flying colors and scored me a job in a margarine factory. Yep, I'm gonna smell like butter even more-so. Decent starting wages...

No news so far on poppy. Gotta wait I guess.

Other than that I'm doing ok. Really ok. I think I'm starting to get the anxiety and depression cycles under control to the point where they seem to be fading away. I know this because shit has really been hitting the fan this last month or so and I'm taking it in stride. Previously I...
