No witty title comes close to the content...

I'm up at 4:30 am with another cold/flu/snotty nose blowing induced nose bleed. Perfect time to type one handed and update my journal.
Joe's stereo was stolen out of his truck; the ex-wife is finally being taken to the mat by the Prosecuting Attorney's Office; the ex-wife & pseudo blind hubby are split & divorcing; the kids' 16 year old brother has gotten married and is soon to be a father; the mother-in-law is filing bankruptcy; my father tore out the patio at their house because water standing in the corner was destroying the siding(no more bbq's-Sorry Gamesy!); my father used the lumber from the patio to build the kids a clubhouse in one of the trees out back - very cool, but where was MY damn clubhouse?; the kids got a new tire swing in the yard at mom's (I had one of those, no whining); on a whim, I went to Wal-Mart & bought Mary Chapin Carpenter's greatest hits or essential collection, something like that. Got it home and read the book inside to realize that two of my favorite songs are missing, one of which was the whole reason behind buying it, The Bug & Let Me Into Your Heart are not there. Now I'm going to have to find those songs and I won't have all the songs on one disc...I hate that!; Joe is trying to get a new hard drive installed on the computer. There are pieces everywhere and he's been working for a week on it. The new drive, as of 10 pm last night, still wasn't working, but this morning I am looking at the computer to see that we are running on ME & have nothing but a recycle bin on the desktop, so perhaps we are finally plugging along on the new one. Last, but not least, the father-in-law was Air Evaced to St. Louis on Wednesday with severe chest pain. He was sent home yesterday for two weeks of rest, not having enough blockage for stints to be implanted, but a candidate for open heart surgery. We were going to go out there and see them today but we can't because...THEY ARE ATTENDING THE DAMN FAMILY REUNION! What?! When my Dad has his heart attack, he was practically dead for months! A family reunion? One day after release... OH WELL, insert big, fat eye roll & head slap here!
