What did you accomplish today?

Hows everyone doing? Been MIA for awhile and wanted to apologize for flaking out on PMs. This month has been really difficult.
But, can I brag just a little? I posted a little bit about this in another thread but Annie and everyone else (the RUI grown ups, lol) post here.

The 5th marked the 1yr anniversary of my daughters death. Her girlfriend had invited me to a bar-b-q and I told her I wasn't sure. I didn't feel like I could celebrate the worst fucking day of my life.

At the last minute I decided to go and I was completely blown away by how much they had done.

They threw a huge party in celebration of her life in this big field at her girlfriends home. There was tons of food, drinks, and music. There were pictures of her everywhere. I had no idea it would be this elaborate with so many people.

Her girlfriend is native as well and had some of the elders stop by with drums to sing our tribes Honor and Awakening songs. That in itself was powerful.

Sorry this is so long but I had to post about it because I still cant get over how much effort they put into it.

To have your childs memory so fiercely guarded with such devotion is more than I could ever ask for and it really speaks to how many lives she impacted in her short time here on earth.
Its definitely brought me to better place...even if only temporary.

It sounds like it was a beautiful remembrance.

it won't be a card, it'll be a chip inserted somewhere in your body. it'll debit you for what you take from a store, add credit for work performed, have your complete identity and medical record, and any other information the "authorities" think note worthy, arrest record, nsa rating, voting record.......and as long as they encrypt it, you'll never know what's on it.

I got a call last night from my mother's best friend, who she lives with. Apparently she's involved with some fucking online scam artist again, 4th time, and sending them money, again. She thinks it might even be the same guy from a few months ago. My mother swore to me it wouldn't happen again. I trusted her, for the last time now. After the last incident i tried everything I could to get her help, even going to the police, which is a last resort option for me in ANY scenario. I'm now positive we're going to lose the house. She's already under a payment agreement with the mortgage company. She won't give me any of the account info so I can pay on it. I tried calling to make a payment and i can't without account info. She stopped paying it for months at the end of last year into the spring of this year to send money to some guy in Africa. Her friend told me she owes her months of rent, and she's now demanded payment and gave her a 60 day notice. I've been fixing up my father's old truck to repace her shitty car, at my expense, and she fucks me again. There's absolutely nothing I can do to stop her. I'm done. I'm so fucking devastated right now. I haven't slept, I can't keep food down, I haven't stopped shaking. I haven't drank in over 2 months and the bottle of vodka I'm looking at is really inviting. Sure I might shit blood tomorrow, I doubt think it really fucking matters anymore....

Yeah, I have to do this soon for a "starred" DL. Otherwise, no star, no admit to Federal/Airport. Can't find birth c. so 4 page affidavit to get copy ($25 per) from CA. Then more ID in person to DMV. PITA.
Luckily I've carried a passport since 1972. That suffices for Birth Certificate etc...

LOL, my people have always been outliers :) and genetically distrustful of the pezzonovante.

Unluckily I've carried a passport since 1972. They have pretty much everything on me. Then there was that thing about a clearance. They've owned my ass forever. I've stopped struggling, it hurts less.

Looks like I am on the mend, surgeon said wound was healing too good so he opened it up a little more so we can keep packing and draining it. The infectious disease doctor said my blood and numbers look good and I can finish out the antibiotics I have but I should not need any refills or other antibiotics as long as things stay the same. Starting to feel normal again, hoping when I finish the antibiotics my blood pressure gets back to normal (has been low for me 103 over 70 or so, normally 125 over 75 or so) and these light headed spells disappear, doctors don't seem to think they are anything to worry about but when you stand up and feel a little faint it makes me concerned :D Best yet once I finish the antibiotics I would be allowed out in the sun again, had to avoid that for the past 2 weeks as apparently I could get 3rd degree burns from just 10 minutes in the sun from some of the meds they have me on.

Happily things are looking up, turning 50 has been a shitty year for me, first I broke my elbow, then the appendix burst with follow up infection and when they removed that they found I have a hernia that needs to be repaired, 3 surgeries in one year are 3 more then I want :D
Allow me to save you about $160.00 on that consult for Orthostatic Hypotension; stand up slower. You're welcome.

If it helps at all WeedFreak78 please don't drink.

Call the county social workers and explain what's going on. See if they can get her put on an involuntary psychiatric hold. She is mentally gravely disabled. The police can't do this, county health and welfare can. Support her friend in putting her on the street. Do not take her in. As long as people enable this type of mental illness the ones with the mental illness keep destroying the loved ones around them until they are limited or abandoned.

It may take a stint on the street for them to lock her up and provide her with a conservator, hopefully you.

I hate to like that but I've been through similar.

I sent a pm to you.

I'm sorry you're dealing with all of that. Its an awful lot to have on your plate. As much as I hate to say this, I think you have some tough decisions to make before things will get better.
:hug:
