It's the end of July already
Where has the time gone. Okay, I spent two/three weeks in pain killer fog. But, WTF, it's almost August and I haven't done any good work on my gardens. I don't have a tan. I haven't been in a swimming pool.
My next doctor's appointment is August 8. It will be decided then whether I return to work immediately or not for some time. I'm doing well, considering, and honestly could return to work. I still have pain in my thigh. But I could one crutch myself into my office and sit on OT all day. I have a hard time lying, so I'm working on a little white one about how I'm better but not yet ready to return to work yet.
Update on personal stuff: My foster daughter and her son. my oldest son, and his tag long friend moved into my house. My foster daughter is paying me $500/month. The two boys are paying me $200/month each. It was my idea that the boys will live in the basement and Brandy could have the top of the house. Everyone is happy - right?!?! Well no, Brandy isn't and I understand her points. As she says she has never had control over her environment. She lived with an abusive, drug addicted mother and her many boyfriends, then in various foster homes and institutions, then with an abusive boyfriend. She is trying very hard to earn money and to have control over her life.
Side story about her mother - Brandy had moved into an apartment a couple of months ago. Her mother was out of jail and crashing at her daughter's apartment. One night, as Brandy was getting ready for work her mother took her 21 month son to the bathroom for a bath. Mother closed the door. Brandy wondered why and opened the door and her mother was smoking crack, in a closed small bathroom with her son. Brandy went totally insane and was beating her mother and a neighbor pulled her off. She moved back in with abusive boyfriend (and father of her son). She called me two weeks later and wanted to move in. Her mother is 36, has 5 kids, and has lost custody of all of them.
Anyway, back to my house. I created this blended household and now she wants the boys out. I want the tag-along friend out (a story for another day). Brandy says she will take better care of the house. My son says that I might call her my daughter but he IS my son. I create more problems for myself. I told them Thursday that altho I caused this problem they could fight it out 'cause I'm not choosing.
I volunteered to watch her son Monday - Wednesday nights. So I was down there this week watching the kid. He is a very good kid. I enjoyed it. If I was up here with Dbf at work I'd just be ordering jewelry online - ha! I have no computer down there. My son did get cable so I can watch TV.
Dbf and I have reconciled our differences once again. I just pray that he doesn't betray my trust again!!
Syren is close the having the baby, BB is on although my girl is gone, and I haven't yet caught up on blogs or OT. I did get the wonderful sigpic from Tribe! I'm watching C-Span2 Book TV about black journalism. Dick Gregory is on. He must be 80+. I find these programs educational. Does anyone else?
The monitor on my laptop went black so I'm hooked up on a flat screen monitor that my Dbf has. Also my CD/DVD drive won't work. WTF. It's noon on Saturday.
Later . .

Wow, you always have some kind of interesting news for us. I hope the situation gets worked out and I hope you get to stay home a little bit longer. You deserve it, unless you're bored, of course. *smooch*
Glad to see you updated, but I wish you had less stress. *smooch*
Here is the Nakomis story (in a nutshell)...
kaysar ended up wanting to save her because she told him she would work to get out ChillTown if she stayed (which was a TOTAL lie, she repeated her convo with CT the second she left the HOH room).
marci would not budge on changing his vote to evict nakomis. he said he promised diane he would not vote against her and would not go back on his promise.
dani would not budge on changing her vote either. she said nakomis was way more dangerous than diane and dani wanted diane to stay.
S6 felt that without Dani or marci's votes they would not get out nakomis and a 4-6 vote would split the house for sure. So they decided to all vote for diane to stay so that it would look like maybe diane made a deal with S6. Janie told them she would not vote against nakomis because she promised nakomis her vote. Will voted to evict diane because he thought it would shake up the house, thus the 8-2 vote for Diane.
Hopefully that explained it. :-)
I could have sworn that I commented here. *head tilt*
Is there a reason with him that she wants him out? If there is then maybe you can address that and try to make peace.
Even though she is your foster daughter and he is your son, maybe explain to him that families are made up of many different factors, and just because it's not blood, it's family...because I don't think he should be making you feel bad, especially when it seems that that poor girl has had some real tough times and is trying to get her life together without hostility and drama for her own kid. Which I also think is very commendable.
smooches...
I was disappointed to see Nakomis go so early too. I was hoping that she would make it further than skanky Diane this time.
Hi!!!
*smooch*
So confused from the BB stuff, but glad to see you update.
