my fami ly is keeping things from me again.
Julia called me last night and said not to call our parents. It seems my father
had an assessment meeting yesterday for his drinking and they recommended
that he report today for a three week detox. I guess after hearing that he went out
and got wasted. So my poor mother had to deal with that last night. I knew his assessment
was coming up but I thought he was doing slightly better theses days.... oh so wrong.
My mother is still in denial about the extent of his alcoholism, Julia seems to be the only one
with her eyes wide open to the facts. These are the times I wished I lived closer to my family.
On top of the stress my mother is having with my father apparently her lush neighbor Shirley Ann is convinced she is dying of cancer and is constantly over at the house. I'm sure my Dad doesn't like seeing her there especially if she's drunk.... Why does my mother tell Julia all of this and not me? I'm the eldest. Not that I think my mother should keep anything from Julia but why is she keeping things from me? Julia thinks its because I live so far away. I think that's bullshit. I've lived here 10 years now and I've always maintained a close bond with my family, but finding out that they are keeping things from me, maybe I'm wrong?
On top of all of this my side is killing me!!!

Yesterday I spent an incredible 8 hours in the emergency room.
After being poked and prodded by strangers I'm happy to say my
reproductive organs are in good shape but the problem lies with my
colon. So I must undergo more test... The scary thing is my Aunt died
of Colon cancer. Having it in your family increases your chances.... Great
I'm going to die! lol at my own mortality.

8:27 am

Still recovering from our long weekend. Fred and I went back country camping
in Alongquin provincial Park, it was the most remote camping adventure we have
ever been on. It took a good 5 hours to paddle out to our site, not to mention the
many and long portatages we had to go through. I have to say I'm very impressed with
both of us. We work well as a team. At times we did get tense with each other but that's only
to be expected when you spend that amount of time with someone in a canoe on a hot
sunny day paddling into the wind! On our way home we stopped to see our "special friends" at their cottage for a little visit. Not a sex visit, her Dad and his girlfriend were there. The whole point of the visit was just to see them, besides having great sex together Fred and I really enjoy their company. Fred got a lot of teasing about my engagement ring which makes him so uncomfortable. I told K how much it was worth knowing she would share that information with her husband which is fine, they are our friends but Fred was clearly not wanting to discuss it. So being a good finance I diverted the conversation away from my amazing ring and made Fred feel better. It was kind of funny actually, K's husband noticed and on our way out mentioned it to me and said that next time were all together we won't discuss dollar amounts anymore. Fred and M are very similar in many ways. They both come from stinky rich family's but you'd never know it, both of them are very reserved when it comes to speaking about money.
Anyway, I've booked this Thursday off to finally deal with the pain I've had in my right side for about a month now. I am definitely concerned.


I better get to work.
