Doctor, Doctor
Well it has been some time since I've posted anything.
Not because I do not want to but because I have no time whatsoever.
Divided between work, wife, kids and of course my arts.
What has happened in the last month or so?
The Giants won the Superbowl.
More flight attendants flipped out.
Gas prices went up!
Election season is in full bloom, (unfortunately)
Spring has pretty much arrived!
At home, wife is on vacation, kids have small pox, wait no I think its Measles.
And just in time for spring break.
I took both of them to the doctor making sure the Doctor knew before hand that they had Measles.
After spending an hour there and having to cough up quite a bit of cash for the visit.
My son had that fearful look on his face, "Dad am I gonna die?"
"Well we all die at some point son.", I replied.
"Dad..."
I am about to say something wry about death when my daughter pokes fun at him.
"You're not gonna die stupid!"
"Shut UP!"
"Not now guys. Please we're in the doctor's office you'll make people nervous." I see my daughter relax her face but my son's eyes narrow and I know hes ready to curse. I put my hand over his mouth and muffle his words.
"Calm down...We'll be out of here soon."
Other than that it was a pretty smooth Doctor's visit.
Being in there made me realize I've been neglecting my own health though.
I haven't been in for a check up in over a year and I haven't been to a dentist in two years.
Its easy to forget your own health when your trying to take care of others.
Before leaving I scheduled my own Doctors appointment and looked for an affordable dentist thereafter.
So next week I'm finally getting a check-up and the dreaded trip to the dentist.
My son on the way back asks, "Dad what did the doctor mean by home consignment?"
"It means you're quarantined."
"What the.hell...Don't they do that to Zombies?"
I half grinned, "Yep."
My daughter yells,"I don't want to be quarantined!"
"My son laughs, you're gonna be the ugliest zombie ever! hahaha!"
I can see in the rear view mirror and she rolls her eyes, "You're stupid..."
I let that banter continue for a while til I start to detect a hint of true anger.
"Okay stop both of ya! Neither of you are or will be zombies...This happens to everybody once in their life, even me!"
"Duh we know dad the doctor was right there.", so says my daughter.
I can tell they have there fingers pointed at me now, with giggles and intriguing whispers.
I dismiss it but I know to be on my guard in case one of them try some crazy practical joke.
In the past its been red nail polish on my toes, empty soda bottles left in the fridge, paperwork written over, egg yolks in shoes, steak in shirt pocket, there were many more but best to leave the really good ones in the vault.
Wife has decided to take a vacation away from home I'm not against this at all.
Everyone needs alone time away from other people.
I think the part I miss the most is the early morning conversations and the embracing hugs.
Creatively I'm all over the place, writing, or working on a track of music, I also have plans to build an acoustic guitar this year.
Time be damned!
However I haven't even drawn up a schematic but I've been reading and watching a lot of material on Guitar Crafting.
Should be a good, fun, learning experience when I get around to it.
Other than that I can consider the current trend in the house and in my life, pretty much normal.
Hard word to define though especially in this day and age!
Til the next adventure!
