Whew!

Okay, I deleted my previous blog. Why, is not really important. What's important right now is I'm home alone again. It's a good thing I am used to this and was prepared for this future reality by very thoughtful and socially involved parents. My brother and I were 10 years apart and I was mature for a child sooo....I spent quite a bit of time by myself. The teenager has been gone, again, all day. I saw him at church, and for 2 minutes at noon. I think I'm procrastinating paying the bills. 29 years of marriage and this is the job I hate. The Mr. is still in a far off Latin land building, surviving major flooding from tropical storms, the aftermath of a hurricane, and a few after shocks of an earthquake. I think I can face the bills. No, I haven't heard from him, but I'm keeping track of him via the Spanish TV station, Gracias, Univision, KCSO en la ciudad de Modesto. I'm a little melancholy tonight because another girlfriend has been diagnosed with cancer. You know, I want to bear her burden, instead I'm a sounding board, an encourager, and a prayer station. Between, the Mr., the teenager, the new cancers, and my friends dealing with loss, that prayer station is busy 24/7. The good news is the teenager is now lobbying furiously to go to the Rolling Stones concert in November at $165 for an upper level seat at the stadium. Sheeesh! It happens to have a guest appearance of Metallica. Oh, bother, I've always wanted to see the Stones. I think maybe I should go and be a chaperone. Metallica, can stay in its commercialized heavy metal blanket. Sorry, metal heads. I still think it would be awesome to see a 60 year old ex- heroine addict rocking and rolling and letting me hear some music from the STELLAR era of music. I know, I should get with it and be more musically current. I am trying. Just ask my children how inept I am with the new music. I am still trying.
