On a sad note, my friend came over today and she told me the doctors think she might have cancer.

They need to run more test and have something scheduled for June 1st. Anyway if your so inclined, please think good thoughts for her. Thanks
Prayers for your friend. No one ever wants to hear the big C.
Things have been busy, homies. Haven't had the time to spend here that I would like. Just read many many pages. Here goes.
Work has been really really busy. My Mom and Grandma have had some health problems. Things are all the more difficult because they live 3 hours away and refuse to move closer to me. It is hard to coordinate all of their doctors, as well as people to drive them to the MD, all while working 3 hours away.
Went to see them this weekend for Mom's Day. I spent two days cooking. Friday, before we left, I made marinades and did all my prep to make dinner for family and friends on Saturday. I was going to make a Javanese Pork Tenderloin, Pork lo mein, Asparagus Sesame Salad and Peach Cobbler. Early Saturday morning, before we left home, I put the meat in the marinades and cut up the veggies. Then I proceeded to leave the whole shebang on my kitchen floor. Didn't realize it until I was at my Mom's house 3 hours later. Oh well, got people coming tonight, so I gotta raid my Mom's pantry.
My family likes pork more than anything, so that is all I could really find. I did a Teriyaki Pork Roast, Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Green Beans and Denver Chocolate Pudding Cake. People came to the house in two shifts, and there was plenty left over. Also, while there, I cleaned out their cupboards. You wouldn't believe the stuff that was expired and stale.
Sunday, I cooked Mother's Day dinner before heading back home. I fixed Filipino Christmas Ham (ham boiled in rum, pineapple juice and brown sugar, drained, then baked) orange glazed rolls, salad with mediterranean dressing and corn pudding. Also a devil's food cake with cream cheese frosting. Whew! When I"m cooking, though, my family leaves me alone. Otherwise we constantly fight. So cooking is the best recipe for a successful family visit.
My diet will be wrecked for a week after this. My Grandmother is 87 and is suffering from some vascular problems. Also, her MD is considering heart surgery on her. Kinda think it is odd for someone that old, but I'm not an MD. Anyway, she hasn't been eating, so I fixed her favorites this weekend. Who knows how many more times I'll be able to cook for her.
Anyway, back to the grind today. Gonna rant a little. Had a jury trial. My client and 3 witnesses said the defendant changed lanes directly into the side of her vehicle. Defendant admitted he changed lanes, hitting my client, and he never saw her before hitting her. Also, he pled guilty to failure to reduce speed to avoid a collision ticket. Damages weren't really contested much. I LOST!!! No one could believe it. Speaking with the jurors, one in particular, said that they didn't want negligence on Defendant's permanent record. What, this isn't high school. No one has a permanent record on these things. I think in this economy, no one wants to put a judgment on someone. It matters not that his insurance company would pay for it all.
It was just wrong.
Rant over. Hope y'all have a good night.
