I took some time tonight to refresh the blog.  I’ve given it a new look, and I hope you like it.

Why the heck am I up at 2 a.m. posting this?  Because I’m off tomorrow (today).  Got big things to do today concerning Mom, so I took the entire day off from both jobs.  I won’t say just yet what the business is with Mom, but I’ll just say I hope she sincerely appreciates what we’ve done for her.

Appreciation and gratitude is something that has escaped her over the last month or so.  She’s gotten back to normal, which means she’s complaining about us and everything we do again. She can’t help it.  The neurologist diagnosed her with Intermittent Explosive Emotional Disorder.  Basically, she thinks the world and those closest to her are against her at all times.  It causes her to react in a very unpleasant manner if you even look at her the wrong way for a second.

(I promise there are some positive thoughts after the jump!)
