Lots of stuff because I lack depth today...
I haven’t had a chance to post some things, here they are:
**************
Nick and I missed a party. We RSVPed. Discussed. Said don’t forget. And promptly forgot. After all, we RSVPed and we were good to go, so we should have went. But forgot.
**************
Nick’s mum is continuing to become forgetful. Nick and I need to have a conversation on what we need to do and how we approach it. I need to remember that I need to have patience. But, it runs thin. It also seems I am the only one in the house that can smell her curling iron when she leaves it on. Perhaps we forgot the party because I am remembering everything else?
I am also trying not to resent her. I know she doesn’t get out. But, schlepping from store to store is not my idea of spending my Saturday. I can’t seem to get any big projects done as we leave at 11:30 and come back around 4. If I start something as simple as mowing the lawn or cleaning, I get in trouble because I then have to drop things to go out and about. You know, things like winterizing hoses, cleaning leaves out of gutters, picking up the yard, planting bulbs… you know, stuff like that. I know that she can’t drive and such. Nick took her out that specific day so that I could finish outside stuff.
As a side note, I hit a tree root and bent the hell out of the lawn mower blade. Seriously bent to the point where the blade was touching the ground. Oops!
**************
DG#2 moved out this weekend. She and one of her friends moved to an apartment between Parker and downtown. She removed the last of her things at 10 pm last night. I really was trying to sleep.
**************
The fence has fallen over between us and the new neighbors. I don’t know if I have posted about them. But from just looking at what they drive, I decided I was a horrible person for stereotyping them the gun, toting republicans. I did this all on the type of pickup they drive and the license plate. I know, how rude am I??? I am sure they are nice people. We haven’t met them yet. I think we are both private peoples. I am perfectly ok with this. I also try to keep the dogs from jumping on the fence. That is rude and they don’t need to be doing that. The portion of the fence that fell down, yeah, the dogs have nothing to do with that one. Weird.
**************
There is Thanksgiving drama. Grams decided that I was coming for Thanksgiving and that she MUST put on a spread. This hurt my auntie’s feelers. She ALWAYS does Thanksgiving and Grams Always does Christmas. We aren’t attending for Christmas this year. Anyway, Auntie called and said that she was confused and I was as well. Grams said that we were going down there last I discussed it with her. Mom said the same thing. Auntie got it all fixed. We are going to her house. And that is that.
**************
On the subject of Grams, she had her foot operated on and frankly only hears half of the doctor’s orders. Can’t get your foot wet translated into: Can’t bathe. Keep your boot on during waking hours translated into: Never take your boot off and sleep with it on. Complain about it following. I really have no sympathy for her on this one. I have had foot problems since the day I was born. Slept in cast, braces, bandages and lord knows what else. You get used to it.
**************
We are going to Harry Potter this evening. Hopefully, there won’t be the number of people there. It is a school night. The little kids should be at home; all safely tucked into their beds.
**************
Mom said she is coming down for New Years. Yeah, we will see. I’m not holding my breath. I am sure she means well, but I know there will be a reason that she can’t come.
**************
We are booked for Fiesta. We have been going for what seems like years now. Fun Fun. I want to go to Mexico. Damnit, I need drugs. I may just go, get them and come back. That is all I really need.
