It’s been awhile (October 25,2007) since my last update, so let me catch you up.

My sister, got through her brain surgery ok. She had as many of the AVM/ATT’s removed as was possible. After the surgery she was moved to an Intermediate Care Facility down in Central Oregon. But she wasn’t there long. In her state of mind, she was insistent that ‘we’ were holding her prisoner and that she was ‘fine’. After only a short while (and the prodding of her “friends“) she checked herself out AMA (Against Medical Advice).
That was even before a new competency exam could be done. So, she’s back up in the drug and booze haven hell hole. Where now, she supposedly ‘has’ to attend drug and alcohol rehab/treatment classes twice a week.

We’ll see how long that lasts. She is still not in her ‘right mind’ and I doubt ever will be again. But I’ll be one of the last people she calls as she still is pissed I tried to help her by bending over backwards to see that she got the help she needed.

I did write to the state agencies to have things on record especially with my neice involved and in the same living situation that my sister is in. I hope by some miracle my sister gets her head on as straight (as much as possible) and her shit together and gets a life for herself and daughter. I am not holding my breath over that happening though.

Then there’s Sperm-donor…him and that skank have been trying to hunt down ways to collect disability for her so she or he doesn’t have to work. It’s sick and really pisses me off considering all the truely disabled folks out there who had to fight tooth -n- nail to get the mere pitence they have.

A month ago tomorrow, my nephew, Hayden Wyatt Thomas was born. (Weight: 9#’s 2 Oz. Head Circum. 13 and 3 quarters, length 20 and a quarter inches long. He’s got a full head of dark hair, too It’s hard to believe he’s that old already. Hell, it’s hard to believe my brother’s a daddy. It makes me feel really damn old.

Hayden’s mom went out of town to see her mom and baby sis, and promised my brother they’d be back home in time for him to spend the first Christmas morning with his new son. Well, her mother didn’t see to it that it happened-and neither did Haydens mom. There were excuses, and I’m sure I’ll hear more, but they had Days to make arrangements to get her and him home on time, and their word. I’ve lost all respect for Hayden’s Maternal grandma at this point.

Hayden’s mom needs to grow a back bone, cut them apron strings and stop relying on her mom and younger sisters approval above the man she’s with and above her sons. The very first Christmas in a childs life comes only once, and my brother was denied that. It really pisses me off and makes me hurt for him. I know when little Hayden asks about his first Christmas, I’m gonna tell him like it was, not some glossed over-feel good memory they blur to make themselves feel less gulity. And if they don’t feel guilty, they really don’t know the true meaning of Christmas and they sure didn’t put Hayden’s needs first, just there own.

Of course on the subject of Hayden, Sperm donor hasn’t been to even see him yet nor even sent a card or squat. He’s used his “New Grandpa status” to get freebies though, you can bet your ass. What a fucktard!

As for my Christmas, it was good. Way too short though. Had a nice day, got a really awesome FurReal parrot that does alot of cool stuff. And yes, I did need another parrot-so fuck off:) Also enjoyed the Simpson’s movie and a nice dinner, even though I coulda ate less I suppose.

But right now I’m hoping for heavy duty commute snow. (Though common sense and an business truely concerned with the enviroment would see the logic of letting folks work from home least two days a week-not to mention all the state & federal $$ benefits to that end they could get.)

So let it snow, let it snow, let it Snow!

But keep the power on….
