Something happened, something went wrong. I've missed posting last sunday.  No idea how I pulled that one off, though I'd imagine it was some distraction or another!  Ya know I've been super busy and super stressed.  Right now I've a constant run back and forth and taking care of two homes... Did I mention we lost our little buddy Rhino (the guinea pig) this weekend. Very very sad! 

So without further from me, lets get this post started!  ;)

Looks like I found a nice shot of the sky on this day, did'n't catch one of myself. Ooops!

Friday, October 26th

 

It was fall festival day at Pokey's school. I'd volunteered for bring a cake for the cake walk and also to help out. The cake was posta be orange. It was...orange-ish.  Another forgetful day for me!

Saturday, October 27th

Fun times at work and then dinner with friends later.  Pretty awesome day!

Sunday, October 28th

Mr. MB's Mom gave Pokey this funny hat, it's really quite strange, but you know I couldn't resist!

Happy Halloween!

And that's all I have. I missed a few days (again).  It's been a helluva time! 

Hang in there!

Our weakly 365, 2012

Happy Sunday Dingleberries..

I'm a bunch of mixed feelings, heart aches and upsets stomachs. I'd love to blame hormones but I'm sure it's just the way I am.   The weekend was pretty good.  Spent most of Saturday at Mama MB's. Just hanging with her, letting the girls play.  Papa and Mr. MB stayed outside working on one of Papa's project trucks.  I stayed inside, cleaning and hanging/talking with Mama MB. She got out of bed around lunch or so and felt.....better.    The pain meds are helping, though I did hear her say today that she was still hurting.

I'm just glad she's out of bed.... eating and drinking. 

Monday, October 15th

It's been a week.  Something about the car ride up and down the highway. It really sucks!    Thought at the end of last week it was going to be a helluva week this week, what with Dr appointments and thought Granny MB said she would be going out of town with my aunt.  Which leaves me or my other aunt to take Mama MB to the Dr.  Granny MB told me the other day she isn't going. Let's see how that pans out.

I've a Dr appointment tomorrow, the first appointment with the OB.  I'm curious as to if they will do an ultrasound or not.  Shall see!

Tuesday, October 16th

We got news from Mama MB's Dr.   ...

They're going to do some radiation on the "somebigword" gland and on her back.  Those two are apparently close enough to where they can take care of them both at the same time.

Hopes are to shrink that down, it's swollen .. the gland and then maybe that will relieve some of her pains.

We're hoping. 

My aunt is also working on getting a second opinion lined up with the cancer center in Atlanta.  This is all pretty much hearsay at this point for me, because I haven't spoken to my aunt yet.  Just Granny MB over the phone.  Will keep ya posted!  I'm not asking questions with Mama MB because I don't want to push the issue of making her talk about it.  Is this wrong?

Wednesday, October 17th

So I forgot to take a photo of myself today. The week went to hell for me this week and there were a few days toward the end that I just didn't get the picture taken.

This is a lovely sunrise though.  I think perhaps this was me getting off the interstate heading to work. 









Thursday, October 18th

Another early morning.. It's getting cold around here these days.  I'm not loving it.  I guess it's getting cold everywhere in the US though I guess.  Some of you over seas are so lucky to be coming in spring and summer right?! 

Friday, October 19th

I thought for a second this was another sunrise, but I looked again and it's of the lake and the .. steam? ... coming off the lake.  That's a local fishing pond in the city! 

We haven't been yet, fishing isn't my favorite thing to do. I wonder why Papa MB hasn't gone here yet. Then again a lot of the fishing lakes have like no throw back policies and pay by the pound stuff.  We don't really eat fish. Guess that's a possible reason!

Saturday, October 20th

Forgot to take a photo... again.  But luckily Pokey was trying on this cute little hat thing at Grandma's. She doesn't look thrilled about being forced to pose for Grandma photos.  I will say, I miss them too. We haven't been down in so long, since the move. Due to negligence. They're always busy and so are we. Just when we think things will work out and we can go, something goes wrong. Never fails!  Luckily this week she did her exam's and had no work so we were able to go out for dinner!  It was a blast. 

It only got hard when having to talk to her about Mama MB's condition. She loves us all and Mama MB as well, so it seemed fair that she hear everything as well.  She was sympathetic and understood what and where I was coming from. For that I am glad.  Just hope it's not another couple months before I see them again!

Sunday, October 21st

Busy day today.. Busy in front of the washer machine, dryer and cleaning all the rooms.  It was much needed!  It's pretty crazy how this place seems to always be a mess.  Arg! 

Did a little home improvement today in the soon to be baby  MB room. (still need a MB kinda name)

Took this photo as I took a stroll over to visit with Mama and Papa MB.  Just to check in, hadn't been there all day.

Mama MB didn't seem to be in  a great mood today.  Grumpy from whatever reason. I didn't ask. Just held my tongue and played the patience card.  I'm good at that ya know!  It's hard , sometimes.

One more before I go, check out the picture I snapped on the stroll over to Mama MB's today!

It's our little pathway through the woods.  It's incomplete, but we were able to get these big wood things pulled out there! Mr MB blew all the leaves from the path. I miss the leaves a little, but it looks nice!

There ya have it Dingleberries.  My week of 2012.  Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did and I'm hoping to do better next week. I can't hang out in depression land. I gotta pull through this, because... it could always be worse!!

Hang in there!

365 days of 2012

Taking a slightly different approach to this weeks post. 

Of course I managed to miss a couple of days.  Very unfortunate I guess, I kept reminding myself to do it and then BOOM I'd wake up the next morning and go crap!!!  Oh wells, story of my life.  I did what  I could!

I'm missing the whole Walking Dead series already!  Total BS. I'm going to remind myself to get off my arse and call the dish people about that!

I'm glad a lot of you saw that I tagged you in the award, I didn't quite finish and go tag all of you. I plan to do that tonight or tomorrow!

Ahhhhhhh I need more sleep!

Hang in there!

365, 2012

Hello my dear Dingleberries,

It's time for my weekly posting of 365 postings, a day late, I know but whatevers. I'm running it through today because whatever that creative post I was working on earlier, it's gone now.  Riddled with bad feelings and an upsets stomach. Big surprise there... So where were we.  FYI I can't seem to upload these photos onto facebook anymore, wonder if the album is full or something. I'm pretty sure facebook hates me!  Has anyone friended the MB on facebook? I'm at itsamonkeybutt ... I guess is how you could search for that, ha ha. 

Day 271,
Monday October 1st

Oh well moving along. I've recently found a show called Halloween Wars.  I'm pretty much loving it. Anyone else seen it? 

It's on one of those food channels, food is looking good these days but nothing seems like anything I want to be eating on!  Which is unfortunate! 

They're working on these super awesome pumpkins and cakes and all sorts of things. It's really awesome, or so I think anyway!!

Day 272,
Tuesday October 2nd

Speaking of food stuff, we went to a Taste of South event tonight at Pokeys school. They're showcasing their lovely gardens at school and also their local farmers markets. 

I'm so happy to see the classes growing things, having a garden and compost bins and everything else. It's really awesome for me, because I love that.  Where we moved from they didn't do things like this. The school food sucks, everywhere, but at least they are attempting to teach the kids, hey food doesn't always suck and I guess really it's the parents fault for sending them to school with money to purchase said nasty school food.  Live and learn I guess.

Day 273,
Wednesday, October 3rd

The book of face reminded me today that the new season of Walking Dead starts in 6 days!  6 DAYS!  This is  load of shit. I'm so mad at Dish Network for not offering AMC. And  if it's not their fault then I'm so mad at AMC. It's probably best of me to just be angry at both of them, because they can't come to the middle with this little problem. Bull shit!

I so desperately want to watch it this season and they're going to mess that up for me. Way to go MB getting the worst satellite company EVER!  Always knew I didn't want the dish.

Rant over....

Day 274
Thursday, October 4th

Work has been the normal, OMIGAWD please make the day end.  I was reminded today that there isn't anyone there I can talk to.  By that I mean rant and rave and piss and moan.  We're back to the trust no one days.

UGH!

Day 276,
Saturday, October 5th

So as you may have noticed I forgot my picture for Friday ::facepalm:: I'm not loving that.

We were so fortunate as to do some more yard work stuff over the weekend and while moving some cement thing they had ran through the yard for the a/c drain we found this little snake. No idea what kind of snake it is and I know the picture isn't that great.

We had some sunshine for a bit on Saturday. Mr MB did scoop him up and toss him into the woods though.  Here's to hoping he/she doesn't make anymore appearances around here and I especially do not want to see Mama Snake. I hate snakes, not as much as spiders. But I hate snakes.  Speaking of spiders... There is one in the bathroom... I've lost him/her. I saw it hiding in the corner this morning and saw him/her sneak into the crack at the ceiling.. It's gone now.  I'm not loving that!!

Day 277,
Sunday, October 6th

So here I am at the end of another post. So far it's a random mess, but ya know MB has to have at least one of those in a week.

I'm working on the award post, GBM tagged me in an award last week or so and somehow I've gotten carried away and busy at work and just haven't gotten it all done.  I think I've actually done something to where I'm going to have to start over, because copy and paste came over all wrong :/ Bummer!  I did want to say many thanks for the award though and expect to see it posted this week.

Mama MB is feeling .... OK. It's required lately that she take the pain meds. I just wish they would work better. That her pain would get better. I guess maybe she has hit a point in her treatments and illness where things will be painful. They're blaming age and arthritis and the likes, but this doesn't seem possible. Usually those things are better controlled, where it's at right now.  she hurts all over and though the meds seem to help it's not going away.

Keep those thoughts and prayers coming, mine are going out into the world still for my Dear Dingleberries and their struggles.  :))

Hang in there!

Day 263
Monday, September 24th

It's been a pretty uneventful weekend. We didn't get into to very much. We did finally get into the new antique store in town. It's full of really awesome stuff. A few of those things I would have lived to have but of course when they find an "antique" store the prices are through the roof.

I know now what the cabinet I'm looking for is called, or what it's like. Called a hoosier style or something like that. I'm sure I'm the last to know about this one and what it is, but whatever.  I saw one online a while back and WANTED it from first sight. But 600 smackers is just too much for broke ole me! 

Day 264
Tuesday, September 25th

Didn't buy anything at the antique store though. So that's probably a good thing for my wallet!  :)

We did hit up the thrift store in Athens also. I've been searching and suffering through my wardrobe for clothes that look better for church. Being the only one (lady) in jeans each sunday kind of makes me feel weird. But I wore a dress last weekend and really felt like a jack ass the whole time I had it on. It's lucky to be hanging in the closet, because honestly. I hate that dress. Why is it you buy something off the rack and LOVE  it. Can't live without it and then you wear it twice, it's crap!

Day 265,
Wednesday, September 26th

So I was able to find me an adorable cute skirt, purple of course and an oh so awesome painting of a tree, with snow on it. It's a black curly looking tree with a blue back ground and white snow. I love it, will attempt to snap a shot of it tomorrow and share it with you all :)  Someone did a pretty nice job, I think. Better than I could have done anyways!

Day 267,
Thursday, September 27th

My uncle and his family was up for the weekend this weekend. I was able to spend some time with t hem at the family thing at my aunts house this afternoon. It's been a while since we gathered.

Also received a birthday invite for my cousins daughters 8th birthday. At the skating rink, also exciting. can't wait! I know Pokey will feel the same way!!  :)

Day 268,
Friday, September 28th

Other than that there wasn't much to talk about this weekend. Not much that I can remember anyway.

Nothing onTV so I spent some time outdoors. We planted the jasmine bush thing by the front porch. that was super fun!










Day 269,
Saturday, Septmeber 29th

So I'm not sure how I feel about these posting 365 posts one day a week. I guess it's as good as any other and easier to keep up with I guess. NOt so much the picture part of it, because I'm forced to keep up with the weeks and days and all as to not avoid and/or lose pictures from the week.

What are your thoughts?!

So I'm having some problems getting my Sunday picture to upload. But I'm going to go ahead and post for you all tonight and attempt to get todays picture uploaded in the morning... 

Until then,

Day 270,
Sunday, September 30th

Finally got this thing loaded, the interweb hates me this week.  But whatever. It 's on here.  Awesome!

Say good bye to Septmeber...Already?! Dang!










Hang in there!

2012 posting

Day 256
Monday September 17th

 

Well it's my first real attempt at a weeks worth of 2012.  Well first intentional attempt that is. We've all seen me fall behind and come in one day with a week of photos and a long list of complaints and excuses as to why I didn't get it done when I was suppose to. 

Today it's on purpose. I'm not feeling too badly about the new way of doing it either. What are your thoughts Dingleberries?  Keep up with it everyday like I was trying to try this weeks stuff for a bit?




Day 257,
Tuesday, September 18th
 

Just a thought... Would see what you thought..

So this weekend was Music Midtown, I know you all read me  posting about it weeks, maybe even months ago.

We didn't get to go, I"m still sad about that.

Life isn't fair! I missed seeing Flo and the Machine as well as Pearl Jam and numerous other bands I wanted to see :/

Day 258
Wednesday, September 19th

 



We were able to make it  to the outdoor store and pick up a fig tree for the yard and a jasmine bush thing for the yard as well. Pretty exciting!

Day 259
Thursday, September 20th

Some relationship (no I'm not married) issues going on around here. Things just aren't going smoothly. Quite frankly shit sucks!!

Preacher man keeps preaching this and that. Trying to make me be a better me when all I want to do is throw in the towel and walk away.

This shit never fails, nothing ever works. I'm up late, blogging it all over the world to see.  I guess I just don't care right now.

Day 260,
Friday, September 21st

It's back to work tomorrow. Back to the place where grown ups actually give a shit (sometimes) about how I feel and what I think. Though I'm not one to demand it, will just be nice to be back to the norm. Where the fighting ceases and life can be life. 

Day 261,
Saturday, September 22nd

I'm tired Dingleberries, I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend and hopefully the start to their work week isn't bad either..

It's like I always say....

Hang in there!

2012 Posts

Happy Sunday my dearest Dingleberries.  I want to say something before I get into the picture posting. I read all of your awesome comments on my update for Mama MB's cancer update.  She did tell me over the weekend that Granny MB was a bit more talk than she thought, the Doctors won't know if her cancer is changing or shrinking until they do more scans, more than a month away. Mama MB seems to be in a lot more pain at times that she lets on.  Keep praying Dingleberries, that's what I'm doing!  She's still the toughest cookie I know, so I'm still sure she's got this!

Day 253, 2012
Thursday, September 13th

So I think I've decided that perhaps the time has come where I need to reorganize my time a little. I've been terribly tired and being new at this whole routine we are doing now, since the move.  So I think I've decided and this is subject to change, but I think I'm doing to dedicate Sunday's to my 365 posts.  Rather than posting daily with those.  I plan to keep posting my normal postings and whatever else I find blog worthy, but I'm thinking this will free up my time a little and well I think it will be a nice change for me and quite possibly you all as well. I know I'm one of those blogging daily bloggers and quite honestly don't think  I will change that. Not for a while anyway.  Exciting isn't it?!

Day 254, 2012
Saturday, September 15th

Yeap if you're paying attention that says what you think it says. I missed Friday's photo. Don't ask me how I did that, because I've really no clue.

Friday was Friday, still tired and plenty to do. There are buckets of things that need to be done around the new place. Little gadgets we need, this place didn't come equipped with enough closets. I hate places with no coat closets or linen closets. It makes my brain ache to say the least. So we're shopping for racks and storage options.  Arg! Luckily the soon to be office has a closet that seemed perfect for the coats. 

Day 255, 2012
Sunday, September 16th

Last minute photo, after a panicky searching through the phone.  Something weird going on with the phone where it isn't saving my photos to my memory card anymore!  Stupid hunk of junk!  Perhaps the memory card is full though, it's telling me it has over 800 pictures on the memory card and about 170 pictures on the phone itself. Time to do a clean up, but being the pack rack that I am. I never delete anything.

I'm still tired... GO figure, just can't seem to get enough  sleep as of lately.  I even went to bed early both nights on the weekend, am up a bit later tonight, only because I need to get this posted, to get myself in a routine... Or something. 

So dear Dingleberries, I'm wrapping this up. I think I've posted enough for one night anyway.  I will babble more tomorrow, because I didn't even tell you about the fair. 

Goodnight!

HaNg In ThErE! 

Day 252, 2012

It was a slow day today at work, I was able to catch up on some reading, posting and trying to get some of my book reading done as well.  I actually need to get back to that but for now I will babble a few words for you all.

Lots of great blogs today and of course the 9/11 posts from yesterday. Seems like a lot of you do different Wednesday posts as well.  They're a lot of fun aren't they? 

Mama MB seems OK today, had some back pain and her epilepsy was bothering her today as well. I wish she  didn't have so much on her place. That she  wasn't dealt her card in life. That she hadn't been given so much to go through in this life.  She's a tough one though.

Also want to share, before I scoot out of here, one of the bloggers I follow lost her hubs this week to brain cancer. A very sad story and a long rough road for them both.  My thoughts and prayers for Tashi and her late hubs Wash. He's in a better place. 

So everyone that's all you get for tonight.  I'm a busy girl ya know?! 

Hang in there!

Day 251, 2012

It seems like forever since I've dyed my hair. It's making me crazy.  I've got dandruff and just yuck yuck yuck. Can't remember why I stopped for a little while.  Did I even mention that on here? 

Tuesday, September 11th

I've had a busy day today with posts, making no exceptions and attempting to get them all done. I hope you all enjoyed today's music and read my post for 9/11 today.  I hope you all sent out your well wishings and happy vibes for the world today. 

Watching some Tomb Raider right now, not one of my favorites.  I had no idea it had Gerard Butler in it though.  Then again I've never watched these movies. Guess Mr MB likes it, Angelina was never the hottest woman in the world, though I can understand why some men and women might think she is.  Must be the full, pouting lips?

So today was the boss lady's birthday. That must have been a shitty year back in 2001 huh?  Regardless we celebrated with some cake, ice cream and pizza. It was... nice.  She makes me crazy, but it was good to do something nice for her. For once!

I'm still working on reading "Where we Belong". It's a good book and hits home from time to time. Not personally of course but I've a bit more insight on how Mama MB might feel and my adopted brother.  You read that right, I've a brother, who lives in another state. Mama MB gave him up for adoption 20 something years ago. Some of you are aware already.  But he came into our lives, briefly some years ago and it didn't really last long.  I've never talked to him about how he felt or what he wanted out of the trip, but it is what it is.  I just hope he's happy in whatever he's doing these days. 

Well I've gone on and on enough, need to save something for tomorrow, ya know?  I hope everyone had a fantabulous day.  Till later,

Hang in there!

Day 250, 2012

Monday, September 10th

Shhh, ya hear that? Nothing!  Silence, with the exception of the television. The news is telling me we're in the upper 60's right now, still.  That's not such good news I don't think.  Pokey was pitching a fit this morning with that cold weather we were having. The car just won't warm up fast enough!

Just  a couple of things for tonight, I'm serious one of these days I'm going to have all my cleaning and things done in time to blog something worthy. Then again, aren't all my blogs worthy.  LIE TO ME! 

So my browser needs to be updated... WTF is that about?  Of course it doesn't tell you how to update the browser, or shit even tell me what the browser is.  From what I've googled, its my Internet explorer.  Arg! I can't see the problem with the one that I have.  If I update said browser will I be stuck with both? 

Still getting use to the whole new living away from the city.  Not only are we missing many things, convienience type things, it's pretty quiet.  So far Pokey seems to like her new school and her new friends.  She says she's befriended a little friend who happens to be in Pre-K.  They sit together on the bus. She still tells me the riding the bus with the older kids is creepy. She's so silly! 

Watched Mr MB mow the lawn yesterday, I thought to myself, I wonder what he thinks about that.  I know me, I'd hate it. It would make me want to burn the house down and move back to the city where they mow the grass  for me.  He got it done though, maybe it wasn't too bad :)

Well Dingleberries, I must wrap this up.  Got plenty to do and must find me a notebook, because I'm getting good ideas while I'm out and not being able to jot them down.  OoOoOo maybe one of those voice recorder things, I can just talk to it while I drive home. Good idea right? Until next time ...

Hang in there! 

Day 249, 2012

Sunday, September 9th

Sunday is coming to an end too soon.  Back to work tomorrow, a big BOO for that.  I hope that all things work out tomorrow and no bumps or bumbles.  I'd love a day of no BS tomorrow.   :)  Wouldn't we all though?

Our thermostat reads 76 right now, which makes my toes ache.  Mr MB went outside a bit ago and he said it's a lot cooler out there.  I'm not loving this fact.  For those of you who have been around for a bit know how I feel about the cold weather. For those who aren't sure what I mean, you will see :) 

Until later, I must play catch up with some more sleep time.  Hope you all had a fabulous weekend!

Hang in there!

Day 248, 2012

Saturday, September 8th

Well hello Saturday.  Time to share some good news, the a/c man came out today. We have a/c in the new place. He said it might run for some time to help clear out all the moisture in the house. I sure hope  it does. I'm looking forward to sleeping tonight with the windows close and the ceiling fan OFF.  I'm also hoping that Pokey loses the cough she has picked up since the move, still blaming the open windows.

We went to Cleveland, GA today for the 'family reunion'. Not sure why they were calling it that, perhaps it's cheaper  or something?  I don't know, I didn't ask.  It was ... fun.  A good bit of the family was there, we were celebrating Mama MB's birthday with the family.   I hope she had fun, I think I was lacking some sleep because I just couldn't get into the feel of the place.  Maybe it's the weather.  It's cooled down A LOT if you ask me.  Windy and in the 70's, yuck! I miss summer, already!

Read a few more chapters of Where we Belong again tonight!  It's rough for me to get through it, not sure why. It's labeled chicklit.  I don't think I've ever read anything chicklit before. I'm going to stick with it though, it's not too bad.  Ya know I still haven't finished reading Queen of the Damned .  That one is pretty much impossible for me.  Guess Anne Rice isn't my cup of tea.

But I'm doing OK with keeping up with my posting (for now).  Glad to have the net, TV and a/c. It's odd how things work when you don't have those little things you like to think you can live with out.  Just goes to show it would be a weird life if we didn't have things.  Anyone else think like that? 

Till later,

Hang  in there!

Finally, with a 2012

Hello my dearest Dingleberries, Thank each and every one of you for Hanging In There during my away times. I've tried to keep up with blogging, it's hard when there is no net at home, but it's on now.  On another good note, we should also have A/C tomorrow.  I bet Pokey and Mr MB are excited about that tid bit of news. Hell I think I'm even a bit excited.

The new house carpet makes me itch!  I think.  Something is making me itch and it just seems to be Mama MB and myself. Odd? I think so.

So what have I been up to?  Other than NOT updating my 365 posts?  Yea well, I've bombed it this year.  Well for a week anyway! So other than that, here's a good example of one thing I'm posta be doin'!

I'm posta be reading this book. I'm only in to about 3 chapters or so.  Which bugs me, but lately I just can't spare the time to get into it. With work and being busy, moving, unpacking, the new house and everything else in my life. Mama MB, new school, school buses and Pokey's new school. It's a mess. I don't want to move, ever again. Did I mention that in a previous post?

Oh, new news, I've actually started another blog, on word press.  Don't fret, I'm not moving, but at times I will post some things that aren't posted here. For those who are interested send me a note or something and I will link you over there!  :)

I'm also in the market for pictures and Monkey Butts for my Thursday and Friday post. I know a few of you have came to my beckon call and sent me what you had, again I'm so thankful. I'm also aware that some of you are new here and hey who doesn't want to share with a MB like me?  Send it on over, whatsonyourmindmonkeybutt(at)gmail(dot)com.  Leave me a message if you're sending anything over!  :)

So lets see....  for 2012 posts.  This saddens me, because for the last few days I've told myself to take a photo... I failed!  So let me do this thing, before I put it off and forget  again!    Check out my last post, HERE, this was the last 2012 post. I know you all saw it!  Last Wednesday's post, Day 237.  That being said let me share what I do have for this week!  :)

Day 238,
August 30th

Packing day... Dreaded packing day.  I remember, Pokey and I had a fun time at the Steak & Shake getting some dinner on!

It could have been a lot worse I guess and needless to say my blood pressure was through the roof and there was a shittastic taste in my mouth the whole time. Not on a literal sense of course, just frustration!

<3 My Derlin <3 

Day 242/243
Sunday/Monday September 2/3

Sorry for the weird date thing I had going on. I snapped this one before bed on the 2nd, but of course it was after 12am on the 3rd. Being the MB that I am I just couldn't pick a day to stick it on though now that I think about it I'm more of a half full person so technically I should just call it Sunday the 2nd and be done with it, but it's a nice touch for both days,  being right there in the middle of HELL and all ;)  It's taken at the new place though and look I've already hung shit in the fridge. Mr MB gave me the oh gawsh when I went ahead and started tacking things up. Sorry.. It's not home until my fridge is covered in shit. Yes I said it, covered in shit! All my favorite shit though!

Took another couple of days off and BAM!

Day 247,
Friday September 7th

We celebrated Mama MB's 48th birthday last night.. I hope she enjoyed it, at least a little. She's in a lot of pain as of lately and doesn't really seem like she's loving life.  The news I'd got regarding her pain wasn't accurate  This is actually another thing caused by the cancer and sadly it's not going to go away until the chemo starts to work or they can drain the fluid and it could help ease the pain.

 I can understand her pain, I can't say I feel her pain.  At times I wish I could so that she doesn't have to. Sadly, that isn't in the cards for us right now.

I pray things turn around for her, SOON.  Life is unfair at times, this is one of those times.

We've planned for a birthday gathering in the mountains for the weekend, my plans have changed. The A/C man is only available on Saturday so that throws a wrench in the plan for tonight, buuuut we're planning on taking the drive up on Saturday and spending the day. I'm excited, it's been months since we've been able to get out and have some fun. Maybe this is the weekend!  :)  I pray Mama MB feels better for this one.

So there ya have it, because I've gone on and on enough and I really need to read that book I'm working on. My book club friends are going to spread rumors that I suck at staying caught up with my reading.  I forgot to tell my Dingleberries, I finally finished reading Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter.  Good stuff, I want to see the movie. Just to see what they kept and what the took out.  I was blown away by the ending though.  If you find yourself looking for something to read. Give it a shot, the same author also wrote "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies"  I'm actually excited to check that one out!

OK OK I will stop, cya later Dingleberries and don't forget .....

Hang  in there!
