Good morning, Reovillains!
I had a productive morning. Went to doctor's office, gave them a fasting blood sample (had missed my last two appointments to go in and bleed into a tube), saw the doctor, got a doctor's note for work and dropped it off (off today and tomorrow, screw 'em, I r sick), went to drugstore, came home with Levofloxacin and Methylprednisolone (say that five times fast). I may
supplement these with vodka & oj and/or beer.
AND... since y'all are my buds, I'll go ahead and let you know what's going on with my family. My 14 year old stepson is not becoming the man we've raised him to be. He makes horrible choices, brings home horrible grades, and sometimes shows severe disrespect towards his mother. No disciplinary measures we've imposed have had any effect on his attitude and behavior. His mom won't let me drag him into the backyard and whup his ..., even though I've assured her I could do so without leaving any actual or visible signs of injury. We've sought assistance
through various channels and have been dissapointed over and over. Recognizing that he has considerable intelligence and ability and the potential for a bright future, we feel it necessary to intervene before he ruins that future for himself. On January 8, he will be placed at the
West Texas Boy's Ranch in San Angelo. He'll stay there for a minimum of one year. He has already been interviewed and accepted into their program and they believe they can help him. I have very mixed and conflicted feelings about sending him away, but if he will accept their help and get his mind right before he grows up to be an angry, irresponsible, young adult, it will be well worth it. Our family life has been way too chaotic for too many years due to his malfunctions and our inability to correct them. It's time to do something drastic. Val and I are at peace with this decision, even though it's heartbreaking. I'm not asking for any peptalks, commentary, or even approval. I'm just sharing with my Reo family because I've come to appreciate and respect most of the regulars who post here.
Thanks for letting me vent & share.
TL;DR: I got some good drugs (legal) and have two days at home to kill.
ya...I guess it really is a very few. 
You are well loved. 
looks really good
