can anything else go wrong?

This can be considered a blupdate on Lunatic.  I should have done this night before last, but my mind has been elsewhere; which everyone will understand why shortly.  Thank you, Mom for reminding me to blupdate.

Anyway, Lunatic is back in the hospital and I am losing my mind from worry.  When the ambulance was called for him on Tuesday afternoon, we were not sure what was wrong with him.  He, Janice and I were sitting in our room talking when his hands began to twitch.  Next thing I knew, he had clutched his chest and keeled over.  Janice, being nearer to where he was, jumped up to check for a pulse and make sure he had not hit his head.  She found that his pulse was almost non-exsistant and he was unconscious.  He came to for a few minutes and said that his chest hurt, so we gave him a nitro before he passed out again.  At this point, Janice and I felt it would be best to just go ahead and call the ambulance.

When the paramedics arrived, we explained what had happened and gave them information on his health concerns and his prescriptions.  I was not able to go with him, due to the lack of gas in the car and money for gas; so I had to wait a little over three hours to hear anything.  They said they were keeping him for observation overnight, so he asked me to bring him some pjs and clothes.  When I spoke to him yesterday, he informed me that they still wanted to do some tests to see what was going on and were keeping him another night.  I just spoke to the nurse’s station on his floor, and I was told that he has just had a cardiac catheter done and should be in recovery from that for the next half hour or so.  As the last time he had this particular test done, he was told that he needed immediate triple bypass surgery; I am beside myself with worry.  I need him to be all right.  I have no clue as to how I am supposed to live without him.

Putting this off for a couple hours.  Talked to Lunatic.  Will continue later.

my brother finally got back in touch

I know I haven’t been keeping up on my blog like I used to.  A lot has been going on around here, making it a little difficult to concentrate on writing.  So, I have been playing Zuma and doing paid surveys online.

Thanks to Jen and her now ex-fiance, I lost the only place I had my brother’s phone number.  When we moved in with Janice, I sent him a message on Myspace, asking him to either send me a message back or to email me his phone number again.  I was starting to think he had decided, like the rest of my family, that he wanted nothing to do with me anymore.  Then, last week, he sent me a message back with the phone number.  He explained that he had not been to his Myspace page for a couple months and, therefore, had not seen the message.  I love you and missed you, Michael.

Things are coming to a head around here.  Everyone is fed up with Tina selling her food stamps and expecting everyone else to feed her family; as well as the fact that she shorted Janice $425 on the bills this month, and now owes her $900 since she moved in.  We have told her that we will not let her kids starve; we will not give them second helpings for any meal, but we won’t let them go hungry.  We also told her that she and Chip better find a way to feed themselves because we refuse to do it again.  This is the third month we have been expected to feed her family, and we are done with it!  If she can buy cigarettes for the two of them and beer and alcohol for Chip, then she can buy food for the household.  Everyone else chips in, she should too.  She is really ticked off because we keep telling her to keep her kids out of everyone else’s snacks and stuff, and because we put a lock on the freezer Dave brought here (where we keep all the meat).  Oh well!  Feed your own family, you lazy witch!

For those of you who know what was going on with Lunatic, he is doing much better.  The continuing problems with Chip and Tina are ticking him off, but he dealing with things better now.  He is going to try again to quit smoking.  Janice was given a prescription for the stop smoking patches, and found out she is allergic to them due to the adhesive; so she is giving them to Lunatic to help him quit.

Chip and Tina, as well as Jerry Sue and Troy have put locks on the doors to their rooms; even though they are the ones stealing from others.  Janice has told them that the landlord has informed her that she is to have a key to every lock in the house, and she is supposed to make copies of each key for the landlord as well.  So far, Jerry Sue has told her no about giving her a key to their room, and Chip and Tina have ignored her request.  Dave plans to tell them today that they have 48 hours to give Janice a copy of their keys or he will break into the rooms and remove the locks himself.  As Janice is the main lease-holder and the only other people on the lease at this time are her sons, he daughter, Dave and her grandson; she has a right to have copies of every key to every door in this house, and no one can do a damned thing about it!  Lunatic and I were thinking of putting a lock on our door, and we were going to give Janice a key or the combination if we had done so.

Tanisha has gotten to the point where she is so tired of Tina’s mouth running constantly about how Tina is the only one that does anything around this house, that she finally told her that I do more than she does and she needs to shut up.  I love Tanisha, she is a sweetie.

I guess that is about it for now.  Have a great day everyone.
