Where'd November go?

man that month just flew by.  i been neglecting this thing again I know.  well lets see... Gramps has been in and out of the hospital.  just dosent seem to be making any pogress.  probably mainly cuz he refuses to do what the doctors tell him he needs to do.  he wont do any chemo.  which in his already weakened state, i can understand i guess.  but he also wont do the simple stuff, like not sitting in the hard straight backed kitchen  chair all freaking day reading the Bible.  its very detrimental to his circulation.  if he keeps on, he could possibly lose his legs.  but he is very stubborn.  he is trying to cling to the way things used to be.  he is a very routine oriented person.  he likes to do the same thing every day, at the same time.  well unfortunately, he cant do that anymore and he wont accept that.  so he is back in the hospital again.  will be spending thanksgiving in there.  at least this time hopefully gran or his doctors will make him stay so he can get better.

aliyah is on the swim team now.  she loves it and is doing pretty well.  they have won several meets.  i dont know what their record is so dont ask me lol

as for me, i'm doing pretty well.  doctor has me on some anti-inflamatory so my knees feel better.  Lots less pain.  Also I'm back on my diabetes meds.  Metaformin i think it is LOL  I just feel better with my body regulated.  no more highs and lows.

the job is still decent.  nothing real exciting to talk about.  Broke up a chick fight in the parking lot the other day LOL  Wasnt much of a fight.  2 girls beating a lone girl.  Nobody realy got hurt.  The victim was pretty battered but nothing broken or bleeding.  

Its cold.  and theres slush on the ground.  Yay.  i soo hate winter.  cant wait for spring already LOL  the only good thing about winter is thanksgiving and Christmas.  Period.

Anyway.. thats the update.  I'll post some t-day pics prolly this weekend.

I can't believe it didn't rain!!!!

Last night was the FIRST halloween that i can remember that it didn't rain or snow!!  and I can remember back at least 10 halloweens...it was surreal how nice it was... nearly 60 degrees.  i know you non-michigan folsk might not appreciate the significance of this but trust me... it was an event LOL

Aliyah went as a killer clown.  i made her clown suit.  the whole thing actually came off as pretty creepy and she got more than a few "oh my gosh!" when she appeared at their front door!  I quote one lady, 

"OOh a clown!!  Are you a good clown?  ...no....no you're not. You're a bad one (as she backed away from the bowl of candy)...help yourself...  Don't look Jenny!!"

:)

Enjoy the pics...
