Little steps

Well, so far I’ve been able to take out an old Gas Range, at least 4 big bags of stuff and a number of useless electronics.

Thanks Tony!

See more progress on: empty out the garage.

Breathing Easier

My sister got the results from her CT Scan.

And she is getting married!

Anxiety Attack

I used to think it was claustrophobia. Once or twice a year, I would wake up in the middle of the night and I would feel closed in. I usually would end up going to the backyard and sleep outside for the rest of the night. It has been a longtime (2 years?) since the last time that has happened.
It was fine before, my dog would hear me go outside and hang with me until I fell asleep again. Now that he's gone, it's a little harder.
I think I am going to need to go on another DRIVE. Hmmm... where to this time?

Wally Cleaver is a fake!

I have had this idea of what the duties of a "Big Brother" should involve, actually more to the point, MY duties as a big brother were. I have to admit, I really bought into (read: sucked in) all those "Brady Bunch" type shows, the After School Specials and other movies depicting big brother heroics. More often than not, I fell flat trying to live up to the more heroic examples/ideals that got in my head. As much as I wanted to, I was never anything like Wally Cleaver, Willis Drummond or that Charles in Charge guy. In fact most times, I was more like the Eddie Haskells or the bully. Those times never really lasted for too long, not because I wanted to do the right thing, but because when they got together, my sisters can really put one over me. Of the things they pulled over me, that they have admitted to now that we are older and more mature (hahahahaha!), leaves me shuddering and very embarrassed (they invented the first remote light switch).
Anyway, I love my sisters very much and there are times I wish I can do more for them.

My youngest sister's cancer got worse there's nothing I can do about it.
