So Long 2024!!

What a year 2024 was! I feel so fortunate to be able to travel to Japan and Paris this past year. I learned so much on both cultures.

My partner had his prostrate removed due to the detection of cancer….which was a little scary…but I am happy to say he’s recuperating nicely. I don;t think I would be happy all the time with a catheter attached to my penis for 2 weeks….hes a trooper for sure.

Seeng my family in September was nice. Getting an Air BNB assured that we have our own space if discussions become arguements and arguements become physical fights. Family is like that. Seeing my mom after not seeing her for a couple of years she is frail now. I think my mom is bummed out now that she can’t get around as easy as she use to. God only knows if I reach 88 how I would feel. My mother has always been depressed….and cynical. It’s a challenge to have a realistic conversation with her cause the negativity permeates her mindset. I haven’t talked to my sister or brother since I saw them in Sept, Face it, we’re not close…..they seem like foreingers to me. My sister’s past trauma has manifested itself in hoarding. She can;t even sleep on her bed and the biggest room in the trailer she shares with my mom is stuffed with the piles of material bullshit she hoards. I can’t walk into their house without gettting pissed and disgusted. My sister is a narcissistic know it all who rages at everyone around her. I sent my brother $60 cause he said he had no money for weed. It’s draining to be around my siblings. They weren’t around much when I was growing up and I never really developed a bond with either.
