Well hello everyone, and Happy Holidays to all of you.

My last blog was July 21,2011..my God, I cannot believe it has been that long. When I tried signing on here some weeks ago, I got an error 404 response, so I just moved onto other websites. But then, just yesterday, I came back, and just re-entered the website address a bit differently, and I was able to sign back on again.

Ok, now for some updates...back in May, dad had a heart attack. He is 87 years old, and by golly, he's doing as well as can be. A former boss of ours (we used to work nights together) once said, "the only way to get rid of Anthony, is to put a stick of dynamite up his butt"....

Well, I guess that might be true. Dad has already gone past his dad's age when he died at 86...

Now, I had been laid off for quite some time from my employer, a CDL School..suffice it to say, I was unemployed from the lay-off in April, till November 1st..!!!

Yep..I had "prospects", and pre-employment drug screenings, and back ground checks...

But no formal job offers..!!

Due to dad's health issues, and my mom's as well, and me owning the house, I simply could not go long haul or OTR as it has been called these past few years now. I simply cannot do that type of driving anymore.

So I responded to an ad on Craig's List..for a driver, dedicated account.

The guy I spoke to said he'd prefer to hire an "older" person such as myself...well who would have thought that my ripe old age of 54 would finally get me a job..??

In any event, the unemployment ran out, and the job came, "in the nick of time" so to speak.

I have been gainfully employed since November 2nd...

But guess what else came my way..

Bell's Palsey..for the SECOND TIME, in as many years, and nearly on the anniversary date of last years time.>!!

Last year, I got stricken with it on mom and dad's wedding anniversary, November 11th..

This year, I got hit with it on November 1st..!!!

The doctor is stumped as to why I got this a second time, as this is so rare, not even the odd's makers in Las Vegas could have made bet on this..

A person that get's Bell's Palsey, only get's it ONCE,and that is that...so what I had been told. But I did some reading on medical websites, and some people get it yearly...

Last year, it "went away" after about 3 weeks..

This year..so far..?? well as of today, Dec 24th, I still have it...

Bell's Palsey, is a situation where literally half the face is paralyzed.

Last year..?? it was my left side..

This year..?? my right side....

So now, get this, as I said, I started this job, November 2nd, a Tuesday..well the previous Friday, is when I had my job interview...all was well then..then BAM...I get hit with this...

Bell's Palsey also affects the speech. My speech is slurred, and my eye stays ope, and my mouth is crooked...much like as if I had a stroke..

In fact, last year..?? I thought I was having a stroke, and this scared the living daylights outta me..

It does not hurt, but it is annoying as all heck....it's like when you go to the dentist, and he shoots you up with Novocaine, you now how you cannot drink a glass of water or a cup of coffee..?? as the fluid dribbles out of your mouth..??

And eating is a chore as well...I look like a chipmunk when they store food in their cheeks..!!!

Since the face is paralyzed, the tongue cannot move the food around for proper chewing and swallowing...

SO there you have it as much of an update as possible.

I think I had said in that very last blog, back in July, I'd rather be teaching than driving..but guess what...

This job I got..??

I work LESS THAN 40 hours per week, driving mind you, making a total of 3 stops, 5 nights per week, and weekends off...

And I still get paid EXTREMELY WELL....

Way better than my teaching job ever paid. Way better than another dedicated run I had, which was MORE hours total each day...for the money I am paid now..!!!

Well, I'll be back from time to time, since I got it all straightened out getting back here..

So till the next time, again, I wish you all the very Happiest of Holidays..!!!
