A month later
My friend's dog died yesterday in her arms after it ingested or inhaled something while they were on a walk. It was a small dog, a Yorkie. She thinks it may have been drugs, but they didnt find anyting in the dog's digestive track. It could have been fentynal for all we know. Christ, you cant even walk your dog now for the gd drugs? What the hell is wrong with this country?
Himself is home for the summer. He's got his job back at Staples and he is doing a summer internship 1 day a week on the Cape. It's an hour drive, but he's going against the rush hour traffic so that's good. I am of course nervous that he is on the highway but hey... what are you going to do. He will be going to Salem on Thursday which I'm a bit more concerned with becasue it's more complicated driving... more traffic and shiting patterns.... but he seems okay with it. I hope so.
So a few weeks ago hubs got a new car, and we are selling the older car to the lad. I had thought WTF are we doing? Why dont we just get the kid a decent clunker and keep our still good and not that old car.. (its 7 I think, but with very low miles) So he looked, and he really couldnt find anything decent that we wanted to spend the money on. Probably should have looked harder. lol. But as it turns out, low and behold hubs gets a bonus, so that will be going to pay off my car, and that will mean only one payment to make. All in all it worked out really well. Just as long as the kid keeps his car in good shape. And the insurance? MOTHER OF GOD! Its nuts. Also, it's 6 years before they start getting credit for being a good driver! WTF? Seems like it should improve each year at least a bit. Well, if nothing else he gets credit for his good grades.
So the internship thing is with a graphic designer. I'm hoping it will give him some idea of things.
So the news is on and the bombing in Manchester England is on. How do these guys keep slipping throght even with the heads up they have had? And what in the hell do these psycos think they are accomplishing? At least the IRA had a purpose. ISIS is just bullshit. Crazy killers who kill.
The Memorial Day push is on. All in all we are doing well, even with cousin gimpy. She's back at work doing well, though she cant do some of the things she used to and I try to vary thigns up for her. We also had a blown head gasket on one of the mowers, which seems to be a JD trait (200 hours) but thankfully an easy fix. The grass is growing fast with the end of the drought and the nice weather. (nice as in not 90 fucking degress this week like it was last week). Hoping to get throught the rest of the week without another funeral and we shoudl be good.
Hubs is in Florida on a buisness trippy thing. He's going to also find time to visit his uncle and former boss. Thus begins the 50th birthday travel year. lol
