Eating too much…

(That’s probably not a bad place to start with my blog.)

I have no idea when I wrote that. But it’s pretty accurate these days. Thankfully, it’s mostly fruits and vegetables. Nonetheless, I tend to munch during the evening. In fact, there is an apple right next to me as reward for finishing this.

No, I’m not telling you this as a way of warning myself. I’m just noticing.

Now, definitely warn me of trying to attend ball games. Instead of trying a nice dinner -- what I was initially asked to attend – it became a basketball game. Normally, that wouldn’t be a bad idea.

But it’s an event that is sandwiching two mornings of therapy, which kills me – more less requires a lot of rest afterwards. Of course, I had a lunch appointment the next day following the therapy sessions (speech and occupational). The phrase is zombie, one might say. So, the hope is normalcy – or some facsimile by Monday morning. Of course, I could say no.

As a sideline, I’ll amazed that Kansas is still in contention for the national title (in college football). Granted, the Jayhawks haven’t beaten any one. But with each victory, you gain momentum that don’t have earlier in the season.

Today's been a draining day. Between writing yesterday's blog post (feels like writing feels like "it's time to make the donuts"), going to occupation and speech therapy this morning, looking for shoes and buying a microwave, I haven't gotten a proper rest.

With plans to go to the KU basketball game in Lawrence, this becomes the victim of sorts really. Hopefully, I'm able to write more on Friday and Saturday. We'll see.

Music-wise, what was the first 45, single or download you bought?

The Thriller album, of course.

I guess start with a decision. In fact, it's probably not much of a decision when you think of it.

Currently, I'm near Kansas City with living with my mother, which is where I'm recovering from a series of chemo treatments in hopes to overcome a brain tumor.

The dilemma, oddly enough, surrounds Thanksgiving. My older brother will be is hosting in the Chicago area, as been the plan for months.

However, my mother doesn't to go. She says the right things, but she's been setting the ground work to ditch it for a while -- first money, then the prospect of rough weather. Now, she won't travel on Thursday with my younger brother. The story is that relations between her and my older brother has become pretty rough.

Normally, I'll pay for her flight and the charades. But at the time, I could use the time way from her, and also Raytown. We've been together since mid-August -- same commentary, and dealing with some one who has not dealt with an adult ever. (My parents broke up early.) In fact, if I mentioned a break, she's never get it.

At the same time, I feel that I'm dropping the ball. Not helping, or at least explaining my feelings. Maybe I pay another bill in return? My way of saying the right things? Who knows.

Sorry for such a rough return to the VOX world. In fact, I really didn't provide much of a decision. Maybe there isn't one?
