Catching up

Well I haven’t been her for a while and I have a few updates that need shared. We have our first real snow in Ohio. We like to call it the “white death.” People act like the world ends when snow is predicted buying up all the milk and bread that is available. I hate snow and don’t care if it ever snows again. Can’t wait for retirement so I can spend these cold winters somewhere warmer. The older I get, the more I hate cold weather.

I spent a couple weeks in Florida in early November, and the weather wasn’t really suitable for daily beach going or even spending time outside. But it was nice to get away. Can’t say that I had a bad day in Fl, and it’s better than a bad day in Ohio. I know, quit bitching and move on. In Ohio you have have a four seasons in one day.

Great news on the Mom breast cancer outcome. She had her surgery and after meeting with the oncologist, she only had to have radiation. 33 treatments for 5 days a week and then she is good. She finished them in early November. I told her that she had a better tan on her boob, then I got from all my time in Fl. (sorry for the graphic moment folks.) She did not miss a beat thru out this battle. I am so thankful for God’s mercy during all of this. I see so many others who are struggling with this and so many other problems and it feels strange to be able to be so happy. But thankful, I am for all the love and support that we received.

Had a very interesting, yet sad case at work the other night. Elderly female reported missing by her son. Said she had been scammed before and he was concerned maybe this had happened again. Started digging in her cell phone records and found some “long distance love ” whom she sent her entire social security check for the month to him so he wouldn’t get in trouble with his boss. She then became afraid to come home and tell her family what she had done. Not to mention she was a deaf/mute. I had all the locals cops looking for her and found her sleeping in her car in a parking lot. Thankful to be able to get her home safe and hopefully find help for her to not get scammed again. Son said this was her third time.

Well I think I have bored myself and all of you enough for the time being. Have to work until 8 am, and then back in at 6 pm to work a 12 hour shift. Lucky me, but loving the paycheck. Have a great day all, and God bless each and every one of you.
