Just one quick bitch, part two

[Parts]

Crawled around in an attic and carried boxes up and down stairs all day,  so sore

Back to the "quick bitch"  that started me along this trek with the health thing:

My "friend's" son has agreed to go back to school tomorrow, but no more taking his shoes off.  (Of course, he takes his shoes off when going to bed, but they buy him bed shoes to keep him comfortable while he sleeps.)

I think of how lucky/blessed I am sometimes. I never had to call out a fifteen year old for hiding dirty diapers under or inside cabinets, neither of mine ever just took off wandering, mine never put food they do not like behind the couch, etc, etc.  Feeling lucky, maybe THAT is what "friends" are for.

My son used to hide or spit out food in weird places. Not even to do with whether he likes the food or not - he just never had much of an appetite until the last few months (he is 13 years old). Food was always an inconvenience. He also liked to leave snacks around for the mice. My kids still think that the two mice (spidermouse and speedy-gonzales) we had got married and moved away to start a family. Reality is that I caught them in mouse traps overnight and put them in the rubbish bin outside before the kids woke up.

Regardless of the forcing your "friend's" son to take his shoes of, which is awful, how is weighing kids in front of their peers (weight shaming) and getting them to fixate on a number on a scale supposed to be healthy? That's about as pointless as doctors or dietitians telling overweight people to eat less food.

I have had to make a choice between "cultural interests"  and  "manly pursuits."

This week end Cirque du Soleil  is performing and I would LOVE to be there!!

However, next week end is the US Nationals (NHRA stuff) and I am saving myself for next week end!  Indeed!
This is more than just  .   

Some of these fire breathing dragons go really fast and they do so quite quickly.

Found out today that my sister has thyroid cancer. She finds out more next week but at the very least she'll have to have surgery.

Sorry to hear that.

My lunch was disgusting.  I thought it was cottage cheese but it was actually mashed-up egg!  Ugh.

Sorry to hear that! Nothing we can do except sit and wait.
Kind of like when my mom's troubles showed up as leukemia and now we just watch and wait.

Hope there is a way to combat this for her.

[renaeden]

Thank you both.

Yeah, at this stage it's a waiting game. Especially with test and scan results.

I'm sure you're sat outside the hospital door.

Silly goof!
I was in the room with her. Now she is stabilized and being treated, so "stage two" of the waiting game has begun for us.

I wish you the best!

I got the wrong quote, sorry.  The other part of the text would make sense.  Biting satire, that.

My g'friend's daughter had Thyroid cancer surgery last year.  The surgery and radiation worked.  Evidently most thyroid cancers are "easily treated."

That's good to know. I hope it will be the same for my sister.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Thanks odeon. She's going through the beginnings of a messy divorce too so she really doesn't need this.
