Bleh

I'm getting envious of everyone having good weather. Day after bloody day, it's gray and bleak here. I don't know how anyone lives their entire life in such a dreary place. I know I'm here for one reason: family. Got a few more years to go on that, then we'll see.

I received a bunch of frantic phone calls from my Dad's sis in Ontario today. I was sleeping so I missed most of them but she was flipping out because my mom, who is not quite right in the head, told her something drastic and deadly was wrong with my Dad. It's not. He's wearing the catheter and has the bag attached to him, whilst he makes the neccesary stops at the grocery store, pharmacy, etc. Nothing keeps that guy down and this is just one more reason why I had no chance to be a docile little thing. He's a stubborn Scotsman and my mom is just plain onery and pig-headed.
They are grown-ups and though I wish to the powers that they would move back here, near to all their immediate family--it's not happening until something drastic happens (code words for someone dies). I've accepted it after years of anguishing. You can't control anyone, including your elderly parents.

I'm blue. February is the cruelest month yes, but early March here isn't much different. I so need a top-down ride in the 'stang. Ooh, I just want to go for a nice long drive in the country--I'll even take the suburbs--I just need AIR!

My son is still sick (Day 4). He has never in his life been as sick as often as he has this year. My deduction: Junior High School is bad for one's health.

Spouse and son number 1 are working today. I need to work on some auctions for eBay and then go do laps.

Hoping you all are having a fun and/or peaceful or some kind of combo weekend.

Peace and good karma,
