Foil and Glow

Sometimes I know what I am talking about. Tom went to work today even though I told him they wouldn't let him come back. His excuse said seven days. Not two days or three days. But seven whole days. He said they would let him come back to work because they really needed him. So while he was at work he got a hold of his dentist and he told him no. That he had to stay home those seven days.

I found out tonight that my dad is also staying home from work for a whole week. Due to his back. An old injury that has come back to haunt him. Mom swears she told me the other day but I don't remember her telling me. I think maybe she told Amy. I am a good listener and I just don't see how I could miss something like that. Come on. This is serious and it is my dad. I think I would have remembered. But it doesn't really matter if she told me or not. What matters is my dad and his back.

Piper is doing good. She has realized she can't jump up very well or even jump down from things either. She nibbles here and there on her cat food but she sure at the shit out of the chicken I shared with her. Them bastards at the veterinary hospital put in real stitches. Not the kind that are absorable. So in ten days I have to take her back. They never did that with my other female cats. I think they just want to get more money out of me. Tom said he could take the stitches out himself. Which is probably true but scary. It has been many years since he has done something like that. What if he has gotten rusty and hurts her. I dunno.

Yesterday I received an email from Oralia. Boy was I happy to see that. It has been a long time since I last heard from her. I was beginning to wonder if she had forgotten me. She caught me up on things in her life and told me how much she missed me and would like to hang out sometime. I was like Wow! She has never been eager to hang out with me. Outside of Sugar Creek. I wonder what the big change is? But I won't complain. It is cool that she does wanna hang out. She asked for my number again and I gave it to her but I doubt she uses it. I guess she will have to surprise me on that one. She told me in her email that she had gotten a bunch of English books and was hoping to get better speaking and writing it. I am so proud of her. Her spelling really has improved since last I heard from her. She called herself stupid in the email. I yelled at her in my email to her. I told her not to call herself that and that she wasn't stupid at all. In big bold letters. I think she will get the hint. I should have asked for some new pics. I think I will do that later. I miss her allot too. I really did think she had forgotten me. I am glad she hasn't.

To all my friends....
