1. Bubba got himself a shiner on Monday night from tripping over a fan on the floor of his room and landing on the corner of his brother's open dresser drawer. It's pretty. I'll have to post a picture.
2. Today, Bubba graduated from Pre-k. He's officially a kindergartener now. Primo finished 1st grade on Thursday. Now the praying about the 2nd grade teacher begins.
3. My confessor and sometime spiritual director was transferred to another parish and the farewell Mass and reception was last Sunday the 8th. I chaired the committee for the party which caused some stress on my marriage. Seems Scott likes it when I'm home. He's fussy like that.
4. I had Jury Duty starting last Tuesday the 3rd. I got picked for the case on Wednesday. We returned the verdict on Friday afternoon. It was a very pleasant experience. I'm not even kidding. I made a new friend. (Hi, K.!)
5. My stepbrother, B. graduated from High School last Thursday the 5th. His party was the day we handed down our verdict.
6. After many visits to many doctors (including a horrible allergist right here in Linden. Email me if you want to know whom to avoid. ) and dealing with symptoms that seemed like Congestive Heart Failure and an anaphalactic latex allergy, my mom went to an awesome internist and he figured out she has a...wait for it...B-12 deficiency that is exacerbating all of her MS symptoms. Why her neurologist didn't figure this out is really sort of beyond me.
7. I made it safely out the other side of Sacrament of Initiation Season (ie: the month of May) and I have learned the value of asking others for help.
8. I anticipate a change in my work schedule that will make life better for all who reside in my home. Full report when the contract is signed.
9. Our awesome next door neighbors, Hector and Diana, here on Diana's work visa, had to return to Colombia because her visa ran out and she couldn't find a new job. After a lot of nonsense on behalf of the buyer's attorney that gave them 24 hours notice on the date of the closing (I am NOT kidding), they sold the house to a woman who so far has asked us to put out $3500 in cosmetic improvements to the exterior of our duplex (For those of you who don't know what a duplex is, we own one side of the building and she owns the other side. We share a wall and if one is going to say, reside the house or reface the steps it probably ought to be done jointly so it doesn't look like Frankenstein house.). This of course would not bother me if a. we had the money for it (we are going to do the siding since she "know[s] a guy"and b. I were confident she knew our last name (I don't know hers.) and c. She were not so gall darned freaking pushy about it. So not only have good friends moved about 2000 miles away, they have been replaced by someone I don't like yet, but I hope that I will be able to like after she finally freaking decides to move in. This probably deserves a post of its own.
OK I think that's everything. Back next week with some work related stuff I'd like you guys to help me with.
What have you been up to?

LOL, Little Brother has a shiner too! He took an elbow to the face when he was running through a sprinkler with a neighborhood bunch of kids last Saturday.
Fabulous that your mom finally found a good doctor and got an easy-fix diagnosis!
