Abilene Motor Express....A New Place To Call Home

Got the final piece of last weeks procedure put to sleep yesterday. The pathology report came back negative. I can carry on with my wonderful career for another 21 months.

Been with my mom everyday with my family dealing with Dr’s, tests and the whole hospital scene. We are in a better state today knowing what needs to be done and the time frame of the surgery. What was the biggest issue is her age, 88 next week. So they’ve had to run a battery of tests to make sure she’s up to and capable of having surgery. Thank God we all are here together and are able to consult with the Dr’s and make decisions. Of course my 88 year old Italian mother from NY is one tough woman. Love you Mom!

 

The previous post makes me take a step back and realize, just how insignificant some things in life are. I’m very fortunate, if through all this I had any roadblock in my way dealing with my medical issue, or dealing with my mom, I’d have zero issue with retiring right now.

I’m a little miffed with this group I work for. I haven’t received a phone call, a word of encouragement or anything from anyone. HR was pleasant, but that’s their job. Safety wants to make sure I jump through hoops to legally come back to work. Operations, more then likely don’t even know I’ve been off for the last 3 weeks with another week to go. So, if anyone wants to question me about my attitude, have at it. There’s a sheet load more I can write, but like my mom always said, if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing. I’m taking the high road.

 

Absolutely correct. The best thing about my job is 2am on Friday mornings, that’s when my check is deposited in my checking account. Trust me, I’m not to overly impressed about the companies involvement, at the end of the day I earned it.

 

Thanks George. I appreciate your words.

 

Yes. But there’s no way in hell I’d do a reset there. Disgusting dust bowl. I’d go the 13 miles to Ontario, fuel up and have access to facilities that at least let me poop shower and eat in a clean secure facility.
