New Year upon us
|
New Year upon us  To be blunt, I have hated this year. I can't really find many highlights to review. The best I can do is the trip to Makinaw City where I did the bridge walk with my mother and wife. That was a fun week, but otherwise I can't think of much. My work life has been turned upside down and my career was totally screwed up when my company was bought out by another company. The new company has pretty much decided what I am able to do and it is what I hate doing. SO I get longer hours for worse pay, and I just cannot find a better job despite my best efforts. As far as home repairs go, I had to have the basement waterproofed which cost 15 grand, and the payments for that will last another 15 years. So I suppose it is a good thing that I still have a job at least to deal with that. My father's health has been declining steadily over the year. He is overweight, diabetic, needs a hip replaceent and loses his breath walking from teh truck to the movie theater we go to every week. He sees no problems with his health while the rest of us just keep wondering what will happen. My grandfather had an unnessessary surgery before Thanksgiving (according to his primary doctor). A second opinion never said thatthe surgery neded to happen, but that he was willing to do it. After 4 weeks in the hospital Grandpa was moved to a care center (not a hospital, not a nursing home) and has been slowly withering away there. Due to blood clots he will have his forarm amputated next week and tells everyone that he just wants to die. SO when I visit I get to see him wither away more and more, and just tink what a mockery of life this has become for him. He was very active for 88 before this happened. Now in two months he can't walk, his arms and legs are like sticks, and he will likely never come home again. So I am looking forward to this year being over. I have only gotten laid 4 times this year with my wife, and that has been it. Those times were at least four months ago. Instead of talking to a doctor about some problems she has, she is happier ignoring the problems and I just have to deal with it. Thus this website is really my one chance to really vent and pretend I have life. MY gold membership is up in a few days, and I will be out of town most of that time nd can't enjoy it. I will still blog of course, but I won't be spending as much time online as I have in the past. I don't make new years resolutions, I never keep them. But I am at the point where some changes need to be made. Some changes are going to be forced onto me. Some I am going to chose for myself. I just need to figure out what changes I need to make. |
