The Good, The Bad, and The “Eh”
The Good:
My son is a sweet, generous soul. He asked me what I wanted for my birthday.
The Bad:
Like I’m really going to get anything from him. He doesn’t have any money!
The Eh:
This is the price of single parenthood.
The Good:
Little Dude is with me for the week.
The Bad:
I’m crankier than a hurdy-gurdy. My back is hurting terribly…I haven’t exactly been the most patient mother on the planet.
The Eh:
That’s life, right?
The Good:
My dad’s new knee makes him happy.
The Bad:
He has an infection and is on IV antibiotics.
The Eh:
Every time I called him over the last three days, there was no answer. I thought he’d gone home. Nope. Still getting rehabbed. It’s not home, but it’s a good place for him to be.
The Good:
Gator by the Bay this weekend! Little Dude gets to experience great music, food, and he’ll be meeting some truly amazing artists.
The Bad:
It’ll be hard on the old back.
The Eh:
That’s what pain meds are for, right? It’s worth it to be able to share this with my child.
The Good:
I met a living legend this last weekend. Edwards. WOW! I even got some great shots of him. And, I got to kiss him on the cheek.
The Bad:
I didn’t print out any of the pics for him to autograph. Nor did I have LD with me.
The Eh:
I have the memories…and the pictures. Hey, it’s something! I’ll cling to anything at this point.
The Good:
I’m done with the steroid epidurals!
The Bad:
I still have pain, numbness, and tingling.
The Eh:
I have an appointment on Monday for nerve conduction studies. I have a rash, too. Okay…two rashes. One’s worse than the other, but I’m glad the first one’s going away.
Well, at least you’re still seeing the good in it, right? Sigh. Would you and your father just get better already?
Yeah, I know, I’m impatient and should know better.
So what?
