Elsewise, had an extra night w/ the girls this last weekend - and my first heart-to-heart convo with my eldest daughter the first night as she broke down, telling me her fears and issues, etc for the first time...
I may not be the best fathre, but I do the best I can for my beautiful li'l spawnlings - they're the reason I do and am and I love my beasties so !
ANYways... just a li'l somethin' somethin' t'tide y'all over from my usual inanity ;)
Life's Timeline By The Half-Decade::
( 5 yrs:) In 2012, I took my 2nd vacation in 20+ years to see my "sister" in Vegas, couldn't believe people voted for N0bama... AGAIN, and took on the Parts Master position at work (the company's first and my still-current position with the company)
(10 yrs:) In 2007, I was married, celebrated the birth of my 2nd living child (born under a Blue Moon!), went to CONvergence for the 1st time, faced a record number of deaths in a year (12+) :(, my fathre retired, had my last kiss (let alone more!) of my life thus far, and I started working where I've been employed since!
(15 yrs:) In 2002, I had been living in the Cities for a year (renting part of friend's house), went to concerts/shows and/or movies at theatres on a weekly basis, made up "nicknames" for myself every couple weeks to alleviate boredom, the numbness in legs began (neurologists & specialists, oh my!), was disqualified for UI due to "employee misconduct due to excessive absenteeism due to confirmed mental and physical illness," and was prescribed sleep medication/antidepressant while seeing both a psychiatrist & therapist for having not slept more than 10hrs a month following my sister's death the year prior
(20 yrs:) In 1997, I moved out of my car and into my first apartment (in Nomoorhead), dealt with memory loss from a major car accident that cracked my skull open the year prior, semi-permanently ended a consistant off-and-on relationship with a constantly cheating g/f, worked roughly 5 jobs including 2 hotels, and was a full-blown alcoholic seldom seen sober
(25 yrs:) In 1992, I was back in WarRoseau after my 1st failed attempt at college (BSU), began my foray in hotel work/mgmt, and was pretty much a beginner alcoholic taking random drunken roadtrips around MN w/ my best friend
(30 yrs:) In 1987... er, ok, due to head damage, I don't really remember '87 or earlier so let's try...
(29 yrs:) In 1988, I was there for the last day Oslo HS existed (school of ~100 kids K-12), witnessed local farmers eliminate the woods I grew up to for miles around, moved to Warroad, started at Warroad HS (class of ~100 kids), and witnessed an ex-g/f take their last breath via OD
and that's all she wrote, memory-wise anyways :) - never said my life was interesting... or easy... but *shrugs* I am who I am, in some part due to these... incidents... in my life
( or so they tell me - for all I know I've always been this way ;) )
random twittage of the past couple weeks::
6/19 : last day of spring - if you haven't gotten your spring cleaning done by now, there's always next year ;)
6/20 : 95% of businesses surveyed to increase their costs/prices if minimum wage is increased to 15$/hr - colour me "shocked" //sarcasm//
6/21 : "why don't you hairdry / shave / etc in the bathroom like a 'normal' person ?"
because they won't let me remove the bleedin' mirror...
6/21 II : wth/gross morning : 1) kitty litter/gravel trail from neighbour's door down hallway, 2) sidewalk ant-wars every couple paces - what's next?
6/22 : well now, THAT sure sounded like gunshots - and from pretty close by, too... no sirens, so guess will hear on the news come morning or not
6/23 : we found out today if we could survive w/o the system - the answer is 'yes,' it's rough but definitely 'yes' *whew* ( system down :( )
6/26 : "how can you support equality and not support BLM, [N0bama] or Hillary?"
because I'm not an f'n idiot and didn't fall for their bullshit...
6/29 : whattya mean it's not "snacks, drums, and rock'n'roll" or "snacks and violence" ??
guess that explains the past near-decade, though... ;)
