A year and a half from today I will be 40. That means I have 18 months to work towards being fit at 40. Oddly enough, or maybe not so oddly, I’ll probably think of the time again next month….
Yesterday I baby sat my great nephew. He had two very poopy diapers, but it was much easier to deal with those than the shit I deal with at work. He was such a good boy too. He’s very talkative and I have to say his 2-year-old world views are much more interesting than that of a lot of people I know. He also makes me laugh more than anyone else. Not always meaning to, mind you, but always entertaining. At one point he was standing in front of the tv watching some generic kiddie cartoon and he loudly proclaimed “I’m pissed off.” I wasn’t sure I heard it right so I asked him to repeat it. “I’M PISSED OFF!” Yeah, that’s what I thought he said. I told his mom about that phrase and she said maybe he said something else. She asked him you wanted what off? He looked at her and said very clearly “I’m pissed off!” She doesn’t know where he learned that and I assured her it wasn’t me.
In other news, my co-worker is still hanging on. They tried to get her moved closer to home and there was no room at the facility. No one responded to the police plea for the vehicle that caused the crash either. Whole thing just continues to be sad. The family of course wants to be there when she passes and they have a good network of family and friends that are making sure she’s never alone, but honestly I have no clue how they are even functioning at this point. It will be four weeks Friday since the accident and two weeks since they took her off life support next Monday. My heart just aches for them all. Prayers would be appreciated.
