Friday Fragments

Just some quick (some not so quick) thoughts before the weekend!

***************

This has been a long and boring week for me.  Work is very slow right now.  And HOT.  There is no A/C in MY office so I have been relocated to the downstairs at a little desk that the staff there has been kind enough to share.  I love the downstairs staff and not just cause they have A/C!

***************

Since Druggie has moved out, her apartment needs to be painted and since I need a little spending cash, BFF Neicy and I will be painting this weekend.  In a way I am looking forward to it.  Good hard work to move the muscles and the satisfaction of seeing the job completed.  Plus, Neicy and I get time to talk with each other all day long!  Like THAT's unusual! 

***************

I ran into an old friend at dinner the other night.  I'm looking forward to him stopping over so we can catch up over a glass (or 2) of wine and a sunset!  Call soon, ok?  ;)

***************

Son is singing at his schools' graduation ceremony tonight.  I will be there smiling like the proud momma that I am.  Even in the un-A/C'd auditorium.

***************

Sunday is Fathers Day and while I don't know of any plans with MY dad, Son will be spending the day with HIS dad.  I can't wait for the quiet!

***************

My neighbor, Kathy just had major surgery and The Compound  residents have been helping out as much as we can.  Last night, she came outside to ask me to take her dog to the vet for her.  Her pups are SO spoiled the only one they will go to is their mom - AND me!  When Kathy was in the hospital last year, I took care of the pups and they think of me as their second mom .  I think that's when I decided that I could be a dog person as well as a cat person.  The pup, Abby, is pretty sick and had to go back today.  Dad was taking her since I have to work.  Poor Abby!  I hope they figure out what's wrong and get her better.  She is a tiny pup but has a personality bigger than a German Sheppard!

****************

Son and I go to CHOP next week.  They FedEx'd three HUGE folders to me.  One had a 13 page consent form!  WOW.  Am I supposed to REALLY read this?  I am excited to see the reports and see if Son will go into the MRI machine.  He is saying that he'll do the practice one but doesn't want to do the real one.  I don't know why.  He asked if the real one will have a movie like the practice one.  I guess if it does, he'll be there!  I need to find the episode of Mythbusters when Kari, Tory and Grant were in the MRI for Son to watch again.

*****************

Son told me at dinner the other night that his therapist wants me to sign a release that she can talk with his father.   uuuummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.  I honestly don't know how I feel about this.  His father typically doesn't have anything to do with Son's care.  I have not talked with the therapist about this so I don't know if she wants to talk with him to get his part in Son's life or if he has called her looking to talk with her about Son's treatment.  First, I don't see THAT happening. Second, there is a court order that he has access to all school and medical records so she wouldn't need my consent.  He would just have to produce the court papers to the therapist.  Oh well.  No need worrying about this until I talk with her about her reasons for wanting it.

******************

I'm planning my next Tattoo!  I guess the first one wasn't so bad. :)  I want to get Son's name in script with a butterfly landing on it.  But, I don't know where on my body I want to put it.  I would love to put it over my heart, to keep them close but not sure that's an appropriate spot. Suggestions? 

******************

My Mom loved butterflies.  She passed away three days before Son was born so whenever I see a butterfly floating around, I think that Mom is coming back to watch over us.

Ok, so there were some quickies and some not so quickies here.  Have a great weekend and a wonderful fathers day!
