Quite a few things have happened since I last wrote. JM has been to the ER twice, once for tooth pain and once for kidney stones (which haven't passed yet). I've been to the ER once for tooth pain.

I've since had the tooth pulled, and am now sporting a nice sized hole in my mouth. Thank god for vicodin..... I just wish it wouldn't give me the nightmares it's been giving me.

JM has been sleeping on the couch because the bed is too rough for him still. He's hoping to pass the kidney stone soon so he can get back to work.... I hope he passes it soon so that he's not in so much pain. It sucks watching someone you care about hurt. It sucks more to not be able to do a darn thing about it. I think my helplessness in this situation has been more frustrating than my actual pain.

Needless to say, with all the pain meds going around JM and I right now, we've been doing a lot of sleeping.

The house is a mess.

Have I mentioned that I'm completely in love with JM? If I haven't, than that's you're announcement.

Oh yeah... I talked with my younger (but not youngest) sister for the first time in years. She's doing well. She had her baby April 6th and named him Riccie (pronounced Ricky) Michael. She's still doing pot. She still talks like a 'gansta' wannabe. I'm not impressed with her choices. She's living with her boyfriend's sister because neither she nor her boyfriend have a job.

Her boyfriend talks like he's 6.

I also talked to my youngest sister. Her baby is due Sept. 11th. She goes in friday to find out if it's a boy or a girl. She sounds excited and happy. She said she can feel the baby moving around inside her, and that she loves the feeling. I'm really proud of her and can't wait to see her again.

I've been feeling sick to my stomach. I think it's the vicodin. I'm gonna go lie down....dang stuff makes me sleep all the time.

I'll try to write more when I'm feeling better.
