See you later alligator

Well.. Since i last updated this LOTS of things have been going on.

Thanksgiving- went to Honey's parents house for a week. This was a nice vacation and enjoyed it. Honey and I flew to cut down on the amount of travel pain i would experience. This was pretty good, though the travel anxiety was still there kept me moderately crazy.

Christmas - stayed home. Ended up going over to the Ex's house w/his 3rd wife and the kids. We had a great dinner and the kids opened their gifts. It was disappointing for them to say the least. Once we got home, we gave them each their big gifts, which they were stoked about. The delusions of grandeur of their dad are coming to an end...sad, but ultimately it will be best for them.. not for him.

New Years - went to Flogging Molly concert on new years eve. Honey and I went and had a nice dinner downtown and generally just enjoyed the evening. Flogging Molly was AWESOME! Roommate had his daughter in town. He hadn't seen her since she was like 10 and her mother blocked all communication. She is a little punk ass bitch with a huge sense of entitlement. Spent her time bashing the Boy on her facebook page, while he was bending over backward to make sure she didn't want for anything while she was here. I was pissed and gave her a talking to. Since then, she had used her dad for money. If she doesn't want money, then there isn't really a reason to talk to him. Surprise there.

In March, I had neck surgery #5. In April, I had neck surgery #6. Both showed progress as far as relieving some of the chronic pain. Just prior to #5, I had an MRI that showed a growth on my thyroid. Got an ultrasound and had to see the dr. about this. I am overweight (Duh), I have virtually zero Vitamin D in my body, my liver is not functioning properly, and i have a thyroid tumor. So..yeah.. i am done w/the dr. Honey and I went on the South Beach Diet. Lost like 5 lbs in the first 2, very strict weeks. 3 weeks off and I think i have put on a few that I lost, but I will get back on it.

Lawsuit is wrapping up and so i have been attempting to get my ducks in a row as far as doctors, etc. information to the attorney. It is good, but scary to be wrapping it up, especially since i am still in treatment. I don't know how that will go.

I am travelling to Dallas this week. First travel since the last 2 surgeries. Hoping for the best and none of the standard stiffness and pain.

The boy broke his hand. He also got his learner's permit for driving. He can't drive at the moment with a cast on.

The princess is struggling in school. Still hates it. Her boyfriend is nice and she's had him for over a month now.

Work is work. still there and still hoping neither honey nor I get laid off. They have had some re-structuring and eliminating of positions. This has resulted in about 5 people losing their jobs.

Honey and I got blackberry storms. They are nifty and i like them alot. Not iphones though. Still him-hawing about an iphone. Maybe when they price drops. We'll see. iPhones are cool.

Ex-wife #2 is moving to town. This week. The kids are stoked.
