first off, work has maintained at a nice, steadily busy but far less than 50+hrs schedule of late... s'kinda nice after months of heavy hours that I can now admit were wearin' on me a wee bit
to make things even more enjoyable was a call before last weekend ended, followed up by a couple more related calls, from my fathre...
unfortunately, no, he's not feeling much better after being assaulted mere months ago - while he's healed somewhat, the headaches have not gone away (though impacts to the skull will do that) and he just underwent, oddly enough, recommended botox-injections to see if that will help... guess we'll see... ( and, no, they haven't caught the asshat yet, and I'm not even going to go into the indeptitude surrounding that )
ANYways, the enjoyable part...
in a mere 6 weeks I will be going on a vacation with my fathre to Laughlin, NV !!
I haven't taken a vacation with my fathre in over 25yrs and since in that period of time we didn't get along, to say the least, this will be a much different endeavour
I'm trés excited, to say the least, for multiple reasons :)
1) it's a vacation
2) to somewhere I've never been ( yes, a few years back I was in Vegas two years in a row, but this time isn't Vegas )
3) with my fathre!
*grins* yeh, I kinda feel like a kid - I think it'll be very enjoyable and I'm looking forward to spending time with my fathre
it may seem cheesy or sound weird, but only once in these 25yrs can I think of a time my fathre and I spent together and it was just us...
( that time was 20yrs ago - his 50th b'day - when I took him out to Hooters and we had our first honest talk ... and ended up both of us crying in a Hooters and confusing our beautiful waitress, humourously )
many years have gone by, a lot has happened to both of us ( not the least of which is my fathre's sobriety ), and we not only have civil but enjoyable conversations when we talk
since he's not getting any younger and I know there's not a lot of years left, I think this is THE trip that may become a very important one - even if it ends up cheesy and/or boring, it'll still be our trip
( yes, an aunt and uncle will be there, too, but not sharing the same room - but my sister won't be there and mothre's been gone for years now, so it's just us for a change )
but - Oi! - Laughlin, baby! *laughs* with my fathre ( yes, I'm probably going to be repeating that one for awhile )
he hasn't made it this way in years and I've only made that one trip around my 40th his way recently, so we so seldom see each other
again, no matter the details of this vacational endeavour, I think the fact that it's me and my fathre on a trip is what matters
aaaaaand that's about all I've got this particular posting, just dealing with the newcome wintertide and the freezing temps as best as I normally do
enjoy your weekend, lovelies and gentlefolk...
and prepare yourselves for hearing more on "The Trip" in these weeks until it's finally here :)
farethee well for now!

"How can you not buy [xmas] presents?"
by not going to the store and not spending money I don't have on a religious holiday I don't observe
11/30 :
amusing to me that the plows are out for the first time this winter - on the last day of November... and already record ditch-drivers :)
my lovely ladies, no matter what you think of yourself, odds are someone in the world has masturbated to a photo of you at least once...
