Well, I went back in on the third...And got no test results. The computers were down...again. It sort of reminds me of the last time I bothered with all this testing, when the dumbasses said, "We have no opinion!"
But hopefully these guys don't waste my time.

I remember that! It was ridiculous; you and Mom and Dad and I spent a lot of time on the road to doctor's appointments, tests, and consultations, and they even had you in minor therapy for a while if I remember that right, and we both missed a lot of school . . . for nothing. I hope this time is different (eventually)!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry about that! I was always wondering why it was always the four of us or the whole family going. I always thought it was my shit, and I could deal if I just had a ride. I never understood why it had to pull you away from trying to enjoy your life.
DeleteOh, I don't blame you - I loved getting out of school, especially since it often also meant eating at little restaurants or stopping for pop, chips, and chocolate bars! It also gave me several hours to listen to my music while we were on the road, and much less homework . . .
DeleteI'd have preferred it if you were healthy, but since you weren't, I got plenty of little vacations :)
Oh wow, your comment gave me a flashback of my Walkman! My very first MP3. Man, I hadn't thought of that in years! :D
DeleteOh, neat. So it's like you enjoyed your life - or at least an hour - because you came along?
'An hour' - lol! It took about two hours to get to Vancouver from the farm, didn't it? And then we had to get back home, after a day of mostly sitting around waiting . . .
DeleteBut if I could go back, and be with Mom and Dad again, where my happiness stemmed directly from hours in the car with them and my music and going home knowing I missed school, didn't have homework, and could play dolls with you, I would! :)
I would visit those days; or rather, certain parts of certain days...But I wouldn't relive them.
DeleteGrowing up I guess I thought my life was fairly normal, but now that it's just Mom, Lorne and me, I can see that it wasn't. Like Joe constantly yelling at somebody, or having AA meetings in the house, or having six phones ringing while we're trying to homeschool, or having him banging his fist on the table while he's yelling at us about our homework. That wasn't normal, and while I miss growing up with you and would revisit those times, I don't miss a lot of times "back when". I'm a lot happier here, right now, in this moment. Though I'd give anything if you and Geoff and Geoff's family, Jason and Bobbi and Bobbi's family could all be closer.
Geoff's family isn't the nicest, I guess, so it's good they don't live any closer to you :p I met them a few times, even had Christmas with them once, but from what Geoff says I don't much care to spend time with them...
DeleteAw, that's too bad.
