Vindicated! Vindicated!!! Well, I�ve spent the last week in California with my mother while she undergoes a battery of tests to determine how much of her body has been co-opted by the self-inflicted disease called lung cancer. So far the news is promising. There is no sign of cancerous activity in either the brain or lymphatic system. There are a couple of areas that show heightened activity on the PET Scan, but not indicative of cancer, just accelerated cellular activity that could be attributable to an ulcer or some other type of non-cancerous activity. Bottom line, right now it is looking like the cancer is confined to a small portion of the lung and thus an excellent candidate for surgical excision with no radiation or chemotherapy indicated� But back to my vindication. My trip to CA necessitated the lovely Ms., aka my better half, spend more time than normal raising her sister�s kid�as opposed to dumping it all on me. It was confided to me by a third party that knows us all very well, that the words, �I can see why she gets so frustrated,� were uttered verbally by my favorite goddess and benefactor. I probably should not complain. We are very lucky. We got the kid before his mother�s drug addiction and subsequent neglect could truly scar him for life. He barely has recollection of the few awful things that happened to him and most of those are stories he knows second-hand. If he remembers them himself, the memories are buried deep. So he is a well-adjusted 12 year-old child. He is also incredibly smart, but book-smart, not street-smart. And if there�s anything that sets me off, it�s a total lack of common sense. If he would just use that brain of his around the house instead of only in the classroom most of our conflicts would disappear. It wears me down to have to constantly repeat the same instructions/requests/whatever over, and over and over AGAIN. For all I know this is all normal to child rearing, but you�ve got to remember, I am an evolutionary dead-end and as such had no intentions of contributing to the population growth of our over-burdened planet. I am not one of those lesbians whose biological clocks start screaming, �Bear fruit! Bear fruit!� I�m spoiled, willful, set in my ways, and beyond the age when someone should be raising children. If I�d had children at the proper age to be having children, my youngest would have recently graduated college.
