so I’m having this thing with my mother
henceforth and forever after known
as the Voice of Doom…

she’s been gone for 3 months
she came back a week er two ago
and I immediately left for the weekend

she has shingles
and will not go to the Dr.
at least I think it’s shingles…cos that’s what she guess’ it is

I have made a decision to have a life
to no longer be her beck and call girl
and
she ain’t cottoning on to that idea

she’s pissed

I come home from workin in a room
with 800-1200 people talking
and she wants to talk
cos the Guiding Light
won’t answer her…

I’ve been saying for years that it’s like being married
I have all the hassle and none of the fun

I love her to death
she is my mother

but I’m turning 50 in a month
don’t ya think it’s time I cut the imbilical cord
and set her free?

Please?

I’ve been thinking about how giddy I’ve been lately

sometimes I think it’s cos I’m nuts.
at least…
that’s what I’m telling others…

but I know

it’s glee
it’s good humor
it’s happiness

cos
ya can’t have been sick as long as I have
and then get to the point where you can leave home
once and as while
and not get gleefully

truly
after being sick for somewhere between 20 and 30 years
(the courts still out on when it actually started)
getting to a point in my life
were I can go off and play every now and then
its absolutely liberating!

it completely boggles my mind
when I think of the years I’ve spent
and the dollars I’ve spent on this disease

and for a long time
when I first started feeling better
I was afraid to believe…
but now I do

and I am eternally grateful

I am fully cognizant that it may not last
but I’m gonna enjoy what I’ve got
while I can

because I like me giddy!

remember the Duirwaigh!
