An awesome Christmas gift....

Ya know, Stephen, you are the SWEETEST man in the world.  I really love you, ya big lug.  Ya know why??  Well, this time you got me a Christmas gift that NOBODY ELSE could ever give me...

I have never heard of a t.v. show called "Roswell." I never watched it, have no clue what it's about, don't even know when it was on, or anything.  I am not much of a t.v. watcher, really.  But, somebody on Twitter posted that YOU were in an episode, as a cameo, in the background shopping, while 2 actors were talking!

Of course, I had to go check it out, and WOW, sure enough, there you were.  I'd know that hair of yours ANYWHERE.  It's a quickie, but just the same, you were there.  God Bless you, Sir.

Thank you for that awesome gift!!

(Now I feel shitty, though, because all YOU'RE getting from ME is a lousy Journeyopoly game that nobody will ever really MAKE or PLAY or ENJOY).  But I think I need to put a new card in the game about Neal's naughty bits being leaked all over the internet before I send it to ya.  *wink*

Well, it's the thought that counts, or so they say.  Doesn't mean I don't love ya though, cuz I do.

Soooooooo.....life is changing here in the household of yours truly.  After realizing that this past couple of weeks with Florence's "Jekyll" and "Hyde" episodes are most likely related to the change in medications that her brand new psychiatrist prescribed, we are changing it BACK to what it used to be. It totally screwed her up completely, and I think that's really what the problem was.

I called the doctor today and talked to them about her, and now they want to send a social worker to our house to observe her and evaluate her, just to make sure that she is still able to remain living with us, or to determine if she has to be sent to an assisted living facility.  Either way, we plan on hiring a nurse to come in twice a week, just to give ME a break, and to give HER some social time with somebody new.  She's also re-starting her physical therapy tomorrow with the same guy as before, so that'll be a nice distraction as well.  I don't know what else to do with this woman, I really don't.  But a nurse will definitely help.

We just found out today that Pete's youngest son, Nathan, has been diagnosed with some hereditary degenerative eye disease that will most likely leave him completely blind.  In fact, the doctors he saw today told him that right now, he is considered legally blind, and can no longer drive a car.  He delivered pizzas!!  He can't do his JOB if he can't DRIVE.  So they told him that he could get disability for this, but we're not really sure how to get that going yet.

We are waiting for the test results to come back before knowing for sure what this disease IS, and what (if any) options there may be for reversing it.  We don't know if he can have a surgery to fix it, lasik surgery, or whatever, but he's only 24 years old.  This is a huge crushing blow to such a young guy...and he's a computer geek so to NOT SEE is like DEATH.  I can only imagine what he must be feeling right now, and it is so heartbreaking...Pete and I decided that, if he needs to, he can come back and live with us anytime.  We'll see what happens.

Well, it's nearly Christmas, and I'm ready for the whole thing to be OVER already.

Gotta scoot.  Talk to you later, gator.

Love, Rebecca
