Playing Nurse

My mother had total knee replacement at the end of February. That semi-explains my absence. I've been running a bit ragged, taking care of her and my spoiled grandmother, who likes to be waited on hand and foot. My mom was usually the one to do that, but since she's pretty much out of commission until she recovers, I'm that one. I'm not typically a caretaker. I have horrible patience and I'm just not good with waiting on people, so imagine the stress I was initially undergoing and imagine the drinking I started out doing. In the morning, I'd have to set my mother up for the day: get her fresh water, set some fruit, OJ, meds by her bed, give her a blood-thinning shot (to prevent clots in the leg), etc, etc, then get to work, run home, feed them (mother, grandmother & cats), then cleanup, give meds, shot, fresh water, set her knee up with ice packs and get to bed to start it all over again.

Luckily, she's recovering very well. It hasn't even been a full month and she's walking throughout the house without her walker. She's doing a lot more for herself, but I'm still relied on for the most part. It's less of a hassle now, though, because I don't have to give the shots anymore and she can do much more by herself. I'm able to be out amongst civilization again, sing with my friends again (yes, we still do karaoke and even picked up the new SingStar 90s game just last night), drink with my friends, do wedding stuff, etc.

I'm not really sure of the point I was trying to make with this blog, but that's just a brief update of what I've been up to lately. I think I needed that quick explanation before I delve into my next post. Stay tuned.

Well Damn! Late as usual...

I've even missed the Lunar New Year. (Happy year of the Rat!)

Again, I'm about to get back on the wagon and blog some more. I don't have TOO much exciting stuff to tell, but I have some updates on what I've been up to and what I have coming up for this year.

You just wait & see! I really will...

Cameo Appearance

Damn, it's been what? 5 Months? I haven't posted since MARCH! It's not like anybody's really reading this anyway, though, so poo.


I've had an eventful summer. I've learned a few lessons, I've been reminded of a few things, I've composed a list of things I'll never do again. Fuck the whole "never say never" gig. I'll NEVER do certain things again, point blank. What things do I speak of? I'm not typing it, but I have my list up here *points at head*

I've been dieting and working out and dammit, I'm the cat's meow! However, I've fallen off the grind and need to step my game back up really soon. I let myself fall when I became victim of the ol "hit it & quit it". Bastard. 40 y/o men still play the same games as 16-19 y/o boys, believe that. Pleeeease, ladies, don't settle for less than you deserve. If you have your list of standards, do not break or bend...the minute you do, you get exactly what you ask for: Pieces of shit. Don't let a lil sexy swagger fool you.

ANYway, where was I? Oh yeah, when it stops being so damned hot, I'm going to whip myself back into shape so I can turn some heads of some REAL men...preferably someone with a CAR. Fucking Loser.

Hmm, what else has been going on with me? I went to Philadelphia with my girls to see John Legend perform in a private concert. I had a blast. I have yet to upload pictures...actually, I'm in the middle of it, but haven't finished. When I do, I'll post them in a slideshow or something. In another 4 or so months, haha. Hopefully, that's not the case.

All my C+D folks need to stay on my ass about this blogging thing. Speaking of which, I need to add some more of my fav blogs, so Q'cifer, hit me up with your URL and any other crunksters that I don't already have, please do the same!

Peace

CP Time

I'm late. In real life, I'm a stickler for time. I like to get to things early, I hate creeping into something already in session, I arrive early for appointments, etc. But in terms of blogging....I'm late. My last post was September 2006 and so many things have changed since then....well, not really. But alot of time has passed. Like holidays...yeah, holidays have passed, a new year is upon us, Superbowl has taken place, James Brown has died, Anna Nicole has died, neither are buried yet, though. Talk about CP time.

So I see blogger has changed...see how much I know. I'll have to get with the program at some point and make lil cutesy labels & shit for my blogs. I'm sure "complaints" will be one of them because I have alot of complaints about alot of things.

I'm excited today because the Academy Awards are on tonight. I've been parading around the house in my Oscar best as I prepare for the evening's event. Of course, I'll be pulling for J. Hud to win the Best Supporting Actress award. There's no excuse for the award to go to anyone else. I have FedEx on standby if rootboxes need to be sent out after all.

I'm watching E!'s Red Carpet preview special which has been on since 1 pm today. Debbie Matenopoulous annoys me a great deal. I love, love, LOVE Jay Manuel, though. I've got the sparkling white zinfandel on chill for the start of the show.

So again, I close this post with the promise of posting more. I'll have to make it a habit to maybe drop a post during the workday or something, just in case I don't go online from home. After working all day on a computer fooling around on C+D all day, sometimes I'd rather not go online from home at all. But yes... here's the obligatory "promise" to blog more. Bear with me folks. Thank you, I love you, buhbye.
