In One month, Nereid and I will be basking in the California sun for two weeks! Anybody know any good spots to see in San Diego?

I picked up the ring on Friday. It's been sitting in the vault at the jewellers for the past four months. Nereid has absolutely no idea. She's actually been dropping some pretty heavy hints lately that she wants one....

Hospitals Suck Ass!!!

So mom called just after midnight, her heart condition out of control. I go get her and run her to emergency. To their credit, they got her in immediately, then promptly forgot me! So there I was, sitting for two hours wondering what the hell was going on. They suck ass. But mom's fine even tho she has to stay the rest...

The shit gets better... I had to work at 5. I called the hospital at 8:45am to see what time they were sending her home. They told me it wouldn't be today. I asked them to let her know I called. Then I called her work to tell them she wouldn't be in today. She called at about 10. No idea that I had called. She was panicked about work... I told her I had already called them and she wondered how I knew to...nice ! THEN.... I stuck my head in at noon between jobs... she was sleeping so I dropped off a couple books and then went to the nurses station to see what was up and when the specialist would be in to see her... for fifteen minutes I stood there and was completely ignored... well not totally... I tried talking to one nurse, and she acknowledged me by informing me she wasn't really there... it was her day off!!

Good Old Albertan Health Care at it's finest... They can all go fuck their hats!

But hey... enough ranting... thanks for the thoughts all... just another reason this site rocks. The support is wonderful!


But nurses CAN go get fucked!

So I had an interesting conversation with a client yesterday who is almost ready to retire... He was telling me that regardless of which career you chose, it is a fact of life that as you grow older, you and your friends drift apart (unfortuntate as my friends were my reprieve from home as a teen). Everyone marries off, has kids, and does there own...

So here's some food for thought... Nereid and I were at the hot tub store yesterday, and we were looking at the new models and discussing what we would do differently next time, yadeyada. Anyways, we get to a point where I made the comment about how if I new then what I know now, I would never have bought the hot tub I bought,...

More lameass food for thought:

Dilemna: My Nana was in the hospital down in Calgary the past two days, having surgery to remove cancer. Of course all I do is work. I got off as early as I could last nite, and called the hospital to see if the would extend visiting hours a bit for an out of towner. They wouldn't, but at least they let me talk to her. She goes home today with homecare.

Where's the dilemna you ask?

All day I was fighting myself about going. Chances according to my brother, were very good that "the prick" was going to be there. I swore you would never catch me in the same room as him ever again. (Really frustrating is how he told my nana to fuck off twenty years ago, then very conveniently walks back into her life two years ago when he found out he was written out of his step-mothers will).

So my first dilemna was incredibly selfish... do I visit her and risk running into him and his bitch wife, or don't I visit her, and she loses out... well you already know the answer to that... but that's still not "the" dilemna.

So after talking to Nana on the phone, Nereid and I went out for supper. Now Nereid is very little help in this department as she hates the man, and has a very anarchistic side to her in the first place, but my dilemna is and has been this for years.

I can't figure out what the hell to call him in conversation. Having to call him "Dad" in conversation chaps my ass supreme. But when talking to my brother, I can't just say "your dad", cuz that just seems childish. Cuz let's face it... like it or not, he is my father, I tried calling him "him", but then everyone looks at me like I got issues there or something... doesn't work for me.... It would be really nice if he would just drop dead and I would never have to acknowledge him again, but that's not likely to happen anytime soon... so what can he be called that acknowledges the fact that yes he is my father tho he's as much as a father as shit floating in the toilet bowl is a father, but also stays respectful to my brother who I refuse to pull into my issues, and keeps my Nana happy?

On the plus side, "the bitch" can always be called "the bitch"!

So I'm going through a box of pictures to find some stuff to post, and I come across a pile from my "previous lives"... so here's the question... and Nereid has seen all the photos... but do I hold on to them even though I never look at them and really have no use for the people in them (but they are photos of memories),...

I would have to agree with LaceyK. As long as it isn't as issue with Nereid...which is shouldn't be if security and trust are there....then just put them somewhere for safe keeping. You'll enjoy having them to look back on. smile
marloski:
don't throw them away!

my husband and i both still have pictures from past relationships...it's fun to look back at them! we both know that there is no reason to be jealous!
