First I'd like to thank everyone who showed me support and kindness back when my daughter broke her arms and I was so upset. Damn that was a stressful time. I felt so horrible for her, and having to deal with that crappy doctor made things even worse. Not a good time in my life.
But I'm happy to say she got her casts off a few weeks ago and now she's all back to normal like nothing happened. Kids are so resilient. In fact by the time she got them off, she had adapted so well that there wasn't much she couldn't do, even with the casts.
So I'm pleased to have put that chapter behind us finally. And the kid who shoved her off the rock at school, he got suspended for a week. And it was shown that it was an accident because he was just horsing around and started to fall over himself, and in the course of that, he smashed into her and knocked her to the ground.
He (or rather his parents, I'm sure) put together a very nice gift basket filled with treats and a stuffed frog (her favorite thing) and a new jacket that she'd been wanting. It was a cool gesture and my daughter said she forgave him for what happened since it was an accident. She's got a good heart...
In other pointless news, or rather more of a rambling, I was just discussing with someone the other night that the last several months for me have been pretty shitty. I've been under extreme stress, and have had some serious episodes of depression that led to me drinking an awful lot. Like way too much. I was a bad boy.
And I did not take care of myself much at all. I ate crappy food, never slept, my blood pressure was up, I was drinking like a fish, I was popping painkillers for a toothache, chomping down valium and xanax for my anxiety, and I smoke like a chimney....i was a fucking basket case since around my birthday last december.
And you know what? I never got sick this winter. Never. Not even once. Everyone around me was battling the colds from hell, respiratory problems resulting in hacking coughs that made it hard to breathe at all, stomach flus, ear infections. You name it. Everyone at my work was sick constantly all winter long. My daughter got sick, my wife got sick, and there I was. Healthy as could be. I had a few allergy attacks, but no illnesses whatsoever.
How the hell did that happen? Seriously. I was in the worst shape a person could be in, and doing everything wrong, and yet I was the only person who never got sick. And I always get sick at least once or twice every season. It's inevitable, especially when you have a child because they always get sick and bring home every germ possible.
I concluded that vodka must kill germs and all the orange juice I was drinking mixed in with that, has lots of vitamin C and shit. That's why I didn't get sick. Drinking killed all the germs! Sounds reasonable right?
Actually I have no idea. And no this isn't a public service announcement for everyone to add vodka to their daily vitamin routines. But it was just a little interesting to me that this happened....I did everything wrong, and yet I was the only healthy one. Weird huh?
Guess that's it. I'm sure I could say more, but I think that's all for now. Thanks for reading.
