Wow, look at me. I started blogging again. How could I have let such a thing go to the wayside? Did I not care? Did I get too self-absorbed in my bed of stinking pity? Did I let life get in the way? Hell yeah, I did. And it was quite a trip along the way back to reality, I must say.
I have found out so much about myself by looking away from that mirror of doubt, anger, hurt, sadness...shit, you name it, I felt it. I mean, really! WHY was I having to go through all of THIS???
Melissa finally got a fucking clue. Shit happens. Deal with it. Life happens. You deal with it. It doesn't have to be hard and it certainly doesn't have to make you a martyr!
My name is Melissa and I am a recovering martyr.
That's all I have right now.
And that's good enough.

2. My dog HAD two ticks. In Oregon???
3. My oldest son just turned 22 years of age.
4. My little brother just turned 40....yeah, you heard me.
5. I lost my paycheck.
6. I've lost 18 pounds.
7. I found a wrinkle.

10. I'm still in physical pain from my surgery and my foot.

What a difference a week makes.
My work schedule changed....again. I'm not complainin', just sayin.'
TB broke his finger....again. Same finger, clean break this time instead of a fracture. He was bummed out because the doc said not to do TaeKwonDo for two weeks and he was up for his yellow stripe test a few days later...not to worry, though. The instructors are going to give him a modified test next week...such as breaking a board with his left hand instead of his right...and friends and family will be coming out to support him.
Doc said I could start exercising again and everything was tolerable to a point until I got brave and started swim aerobics again coupled with going back to work. The left twin is not happy. She is red about it!
My little brother is about to turn 40 and I will be celebrating with him by going to see him perform at Duff's Garage near downtown Portland. He has a lot of gigs anyway but this one will be special....and I'm on the guest list! No cover charge, bitches.
I'm so very grateful to be working again but it's an adjustment to say the least. My body clock is off and I have a lot of things going on at the same time. It's good for me. The circles around my eyes are temporary and I am somewhat proud to have them.

Goodbye, baby...for a little while
I am just heartbroken tonight. I'm finding it hard to go to sleep and it's because of what will happen with my godson tomorrow morning. He will stand before the powers that be and try his very best to be strong and accept the decision.
It doesn't even matter if he did anything wrong or not.
It doesn't matter what the truth is....any lies are disregarded at this point.
I'm praying that someone or something will come forward to change the probable outcome of this little boy's life for the next four years.
I love you, J.
Your mom and dad and sister love you and we will all stand by you.
Be strong, little Hercules.

It's been awhile....
Hi everyone,
Yeah, I've been gone awhile but not really....sometimes I am gone from you but never away...so much has happened.
Where do I start?
Still recovering from the surgery and getting better every day. I'm still numb in many places and dealing with the psycholgical aspect of having five pounds removed from my body. There has been no headaches, neck aches, or back aches. But I still struggle with pain and trying to figure out how far I can go physically.
I am starting a new job next weekend.
I decided a few days ago that I needed to find a job and bang! the phone rings....it's my friend, the Mayor of Fist City....she asks if I'm looking for a job. I say yes and I got an interview and was hired hours later. I've been doing some voice over work for Audix Microphones and I'm also working on a video with a spoken word group, The Hydropods....check them out on YouTube...."Such Lofty Encounters." I'll be "starring" in their next video....more later about that project.
I didn't want to go back to bartending but I have no right being picky at a time like this....when so many people are losing their jobs every single day. I am sick to my stomach when I hear about so many jobs being cut and companies closing down left and right. It's scary.
So I start my new job next Saturday morning at the Stagecoach Saloon....it is an actual stagecoach stop from back in the day....the original wood floors are still there!
I'm working day shifts and I couldn't be more lucky...I'm off before Thor gets home from school.
I love you, bitches.
As Jeff Lynne would say...."Hold on tight to your dreams...."
