Just a quick final check-in this morning before I hopefully can actually fall asleep soon.
TWC says it is 69°. First time below 70 I know of in a couple of months.
Sure was nice to get a piece of rolling stock working. Actually, just to do a little something on the trains and make some progressive makes me feel dam good. I'm still up for putting some more lights in the maintenance spur area.
Of course my recent TV bill has me a little miffed. It went from $50 to $111.
Of course you can't call them over the weekend.
So later this morning, they will either be adjusting that bill or they are will lose a customer.
They are likely to lose this customer anyhow. The channel selection sucks for the most part.
Then at some point when my lack of sleep fog clears somewhat I need to call Emory Medical and find out why I wasn't called Friday with appointment dates and time for the scans that need to be done so they/we can figure out the next course of action. I really am not terribly worried they didn't call Friday since my first visit with them was only the day before. BUT, they said they would notify me on Friday and didn't. If they would have said Monday or Tuesday, fine, no problem. I have this weird thing about believing what people tell - especially when it comes to stuff like I'm going through.
To be honest I kind of would like those appointment dates so Dad can plan on heading this way. We talked the other afternoon after my first visit and I had told him my step-dad (Doyle) was wanting his phone number to find out what his plans were with me and about all this stuff. We both found that somewhat strange but .... well.... whatever. Dad said he's probably just worried and trying to help and all that - which is true. Anyway, after some talking Dad had already decided he was coming down here when they do some surgery. He also let it be known that if I just wanted him here anyway that all I had to do was ask.
Truth be told he was waiting for me to ask him to be here and to be honest I want him to come to be with me. We've always been close. He knows I'm not one for asking - same as him.
He told me he was planning on being here when the do any surgery(s) regardless whether I asked or not. He said "son you I'll be right there if you want even if it's nothing more than to hang out and visit". I could probably call him right now and he'd be here this evening if needed.
In the end, we decided to see what Emory Medical has for scheduling and he's going to come down here for that. Not much he can do really except give me rides (which would save about $130 just for taxi). We joked about what else to be here for. No reason to take me grocery shopping since I can't eat "real" food. Even so, he dam sure can't cook for me. I'll be happy to cook him up some serious food - think I'll make a steak diane with all the trimmings.
Actually, I look forward to it !!
I'm the only child between Mom and Dad and they split when I was 3 (circa 1963). Only a time or 2 have me and Dad had just "me and him time". When I went back home in Illinois to bury Mom in 2013 I managed to get away over to Dad's for a few days. Given the circumstances of my reason for being there it wasn't all that conducive to a festive time.
Funny thing is we joke what can he really do except to hang around and be company. Well, except for giving me rides. But we both know it goes way deeper than. I do look forward for him to come visit. I'll just have to be sure to have clean sheets on the bed for him. I'll relegate myself to couch. Maybe he'll decide the couch is junk (which it is) and decide to get some big ass Lazy Boy chair and throw this couch out. Suits me fine!!
Anyway, it's all going to be good!!!
Just to spend some alone time with Dad will be fine with me.
Thanks for letting bend you all's ears.
