Bear. Bare. Grin?
I started this post back on 27 August. It's now 14 September and I'm going to try to finish it up today. I've been busy of late.
This guy I work with. He's a big bear of a man. He has a loud hardy laugh. He always greets you with a smile. From what I'm told, at one time he was a mean drunk. He had a temper and the fists to back it up.
They say his wife changed him. He stopped drinking and went to church. Without the booze his temper was tempered. He did so love his wife. She died about six years ago.
He raised the kids, the youngest was twelve or thirteen when their mom passed away. That youngest boy is now done with high school. His oldest is a daughter who just had her first baby. The Bear is now a Granpa.
My wife is very sick these days. She really looks a cancer patient now. She has to take antibiotics because she has a runny nose. Her immune system is compromised. The chemo does that.
On Friday, 12 September, she had an Echocardiogram instead of chemo. She goes back for more chemo next Friday. She thought she would feel a little better, missing a week of chemo. She actually feels worse than ever.
I'm still working on this front hall. I'm trimming now. The ceiling is done, tongue and groove. It looks good. She's crashed out on the couch this morning. We watched SNL last night. I feel asleep in the chair, she on the couch.
Last night we partied. I went to the store and got a shrimp ring, mozz sticks, wings, bagel bite little pizzas and mini corn dogs. Onion rings and two big bottles of Dr. Pepper.
My wife and the younger baby girl and me, we had what my wife calls "Greasy Grill" night. It was fun. Paying for it today. A junk food hangover. The younger baby girl is not affected by this.
She cries more these days. She is tired of being sick. She's upset about not being able to work. She's upset about the older baby girl going off to college. She's upset about having to endure three more months of chemo.
Hey Tommy. Yeah man, it's all like that. It's like that every day now. What about you Tommy? What's it all about for you?.....................Hey, she was at the mall on Friday night with the older baby girl. They were both saying how people were staring at her. In the past, with just the hair missing she didn't draw so much attention. Now she really looks sick. No amount of makeup will hide it. People just kept staring. That sucks.
Yeah, she heard this thing on the radio so she looked it up and read an article about it. It was about the governor of Alaska and how she was laughing with these radio show idiots who were making fun of some political type up there. They said that this person was "a cancer". They laughed and the governor laughed with them. This person is a cancer survivor. My wife heard that and she got very angry. She said she hopes that they get cancer. I have never heard her say anything like that before.
Hey Tommy, what about it? Why are some people just so fuckin' stupid.....
