Well f*** me. Right now it feels like that kind of day. Move one copier and all hell breaks out. Nevermind, that I had professional help. Nevermind, that it actually needed to be done. Sometimes taking initiative isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Susie is home so all is right with the world again. She is looking much better. Diarrhea is still an issue just not as bad as before.

And she appears to be happier. Now it remains to be seen if this will continue.

Susie should be coming home today. I still don't know if we will be doing this "couples" counseling that was being discussed earlier. I am looking forward to seeing her. Susie has been gone for a week and the pets and I miss her.

I also miss visiting with my father. I have been trying to get to Gilbert for two weeks now and really need to get there this weekend. It is good for me to see him.

My father is still a smart ass and it's OK if he reads that.

What a week! It has been a long time coming but I have really enjoyed having the house to myself.

What a mess I find myself in this time. Susie completely flipped out. On the 31st I took her back to the ER. Susie was told that she did not qualify for a medical admission so she played the mental health card. She told them that if they sent her home she would take a bottle of painkillers. Not only did Susie get kept but it is now 2 days past the 72 hour hold and the doctors are keeping her another 2 days. I hope she didn't make a mistake. Her diarrhea is being treated but has not cleared up. And the hospital Susie was sent to is a behavioral health facility. The doctors are doing what they can but she really needs a specialist.

As for background, boy howdy. A couple of years ago Susie had similar symptoms due in part to a medication overdose. The other part is a mild colitis that she chooses to ignore. This time around I suggested that Susie stop taking the diarrhea side-effect pills. But no, she wouldn't do that. Well, not until the doctors stopped giving it to her. Silly Susie.

And further background, Susie is in some real financial trouble. She is getting ready to file bankruptcy. That would be the major stresser. This is all such a mess. AND she is at risk of loosing her job. Susie's current job requires attendance, which she has been especially lacking. She wants to retire but can't afford the pay cut. Susie would then like to go on disability but doesn't qualify for that. and neither of us has won the lottery ...

Payday is the day at the office when I feel the least useful. So I look for things to do and try to get out for errands.

Well, this is going to be a bad year for my asthma. I went to the ER at Deer Valley last week and several hours later I was released. They used the word pneumonia. BUT my doctor said the bloodwork was normal so no infection. This is the second time I have had a false alarm on pneumonia. I might look into a specialist to help me this under control.

There is a reason I talk/pray while I am driving.
