TRAMBLINGS...
THE LATEST as of this afternoon. I have no idea what that means for me but I hope/wish with all my heart (whether or not I'm involved) that the show continues. As the Crown Prince said when we it first aired, "You would've had me watching this on Friday nights no matter what." True. My kind of show and it's perfect for a Friday evening after a long week.
Now, quick question, is RANDY JACKSON the most inarticulate man in America? I'm just curious. And what in the world is up with his bizarre and inappropriate use of current - and not so current - use of slang. A half-hearted audition does not warrant the phrase, "Good looking out" on this or any other planet in the solar system. No matter how hard you twist it around it just doesn't work. I saw him once, by the way, speeding past my house in a Range Rover stuffed with teeny bopper girls singing at the top of their lungs. C.P. and I just laughed and finished unloading the groceries.
Lastly, just to illustrate the humor in this horrendous medical situation, when my sister and I checked my mom (yes, most of you have guessed correctly and thank you again for the kind words) into the hospital she was weak and in tremendous pain. The nurse took her name, etc, then asked if she was "being abused at home". Without missing a beat my mom turned slowly to me and raised an eyebrow. A sense of humor in the worst circumstances is the one thing that keeps the Tramble women chugging forward.
There's also a doctor at the hospital with the worst toupe/hairpiece/wig in the history of mankind. I just don't know what to say, or think, when he passes us by. The nurses exchange looks so my guess is that it's a much-discussed subject on the medical campus. Anyway, he always seems to appear when we're feeling low and it sets us off like nothing else. I know we shouldn't be talking shit and making fun of people but the gallows humor keeps us all from losing our shit on a permanent basis and there's just no room for that. Last week we'd received a disheartening bit of news when he stepped onto the elevator with the two of us. Good lord, it was like being back in high school when trying to suppress laughter caused you to laugh even harder. Of course, we weren't rude enough to laugh anywhere near the man (who knows what his circumstances are) but once he was out of earshot my sister just asked, "What the f*ck?" Indeed.
Mostly our visits are quiet but about a month ago we arrived to learn that for about five hours our mom had a roommate that kept asking for KEYSER SOSE. Finally, just to keep her quiet the nurses had Sose call the woman on the phone. Her response, "Keyser, I've been waiting on you all day." My mom's response, "I'm going to sleep tonight but I'm not doing it with her in this room so do what you have to do." They moved her. And that's my mom strong even when she's weak.
I took my wedding dress to the hospital today because she wanted to see it. She was too sleepy to open her eyes so I'll take it again tomorrow. And the next day and the next.
Until next time...
