Well we survived Christmas. Had the local grandkids over
Christmas Eve, and a great event put on by Denise? With New Year’s ham being prepared for New
Years day- it will be a perfect holiday season. Trying to adjust my meds, I
just didn’t get it right as I found myself a bit agitated as the youngest
grandchild resisted understanding that no means no. Being an old guy doesn’t help, you want to
grab the parents and shake. But when I look at the other two girls- I realize I
am just an impatient old bastard it will all work out eventually.
I spoke with a few people on Christmas. As is the new means
of communication: a couple of text messages. Oddly enough I have not heard from
my sister Linda. Having moved to North Carolina, and trying to reorganize her
son Brian’s Law Offices have been a challenge. Her new house if being rebuilt
with them living there- you can imagine how hectic it is. She must have had
other things on her mind. We have been so close over the years- especially
growing up.
My brother Ken and Sister Kim celebrated Christmas together.
Kim drove to Kenny’s for dinner-and they seemed to have had a good time
(according to Face book)
My son Angel and family celebrated as usual in Vermont. His
in laws are there and they have some pretty consistent traditions. That’s a
nice way to celebrate the holidays for the kids… of course we would love to see
more of our granddaughter Onna and newest edition Damon. We are loosely planning
a March trip to Vermont- Denise is afraid of driving in the snow.
My sister Robin’s birthday is Christmas day. What a rip. I
suggest she it she change it to April 5th. That’s as good a date as
any and the weather will be shifting toward warmth.
Other than that- things remain the same. I went out to do a
local blood test- but the lab took today off.
I drove through MacDonald’s for lunch for a ¼ pound value meal-
small fries and coke…what is better than that? You may be aware (or not) I am bullet proof. I
can now eat anything and everything without gaining weight. I have stopped
losing weight as well- which is a good thing. I lost about 80 pounds- I was always a full figure boy- This is
probably my ideal weight- but losing it rapidly I lost muscle mass-so I am a
virtual weakling. The other challenge-
ironically, is being bullet proof and able to eat anything sounds great- I have
lost my sense of taste. Everything seems
bland- including the MacDonald’s fries. That’s just criminal. I feel like I am
in a Twilight Zone episode.
That’s my ramble for today. Not sure why, but I felt the
need to do so.
God Bless,
Randy Shannon
