you're right. give me a grenade.
I'm at my mother's right now. Mema sitting again. My dad had to go to a new doctor. They've been gone all day. I don't mind. It means I get to watch everything that's been Tivoed since the last time I was here. I've watched all the Haven and am now currently watching Alphas. I have laundry to start for my mother and then I'll probably watch Never Let Me Go.
Not sure yet. I might read Harry Potter again, start from the beginning.
What I really need to do is fix my resume and start a job hunt. I can't really do that with Mema. She's very demanding. Right now I am trying to convince her that she needs to stop sweeping because it's too taxing. I understand that she feels useless, but I can't get HER to understand that her heart only works 30% and what she needs to do is sit down and stop bending over and calm down a bit because then she'll pass out. But she's old and stubborn, and in my entire life, she's never listened to me.
In other news, Jamie and I have completely moved in. It's a really nice apartment. The only problem I have is that it's noisier than my other one, but that's because we aren't as isolated and we don't have the boiler system for hot water. I don't mind though. I like people noises. And the fact that we don't have a $50 water bill anymore. Good times.
For the holiday, I went to Kevin and Angela's. I have a great time there. I got some new shoes, ate a candy apple, played with their puppy, won $30 at the casino, watched I Love You, Man, colored my hair. It was good times.
On the way home, though, there was scary evidence of how burnt up my state is. A wildfire that the county thought they had contained spread and I had to be detoured off the highway in case it jumped the highway and killed someone. They were working very hard to make sure that didn't happen. There were trucks, helicopters, planes, people everywhere. I was routed to the interstate where I needed to be anyway.
And when I got home, I checked out the news to see what had happened. Apparently the fire was out, but maybe not so contained, because it resparked underground and traveled a root system and popped up on the other side of the county. The ground is dry, the trees are old and now brittle. It happens. When I got home, I noticed that there were three fires in my county and one surrounding. The interstate was burned up, the sky was full of smoke and the road I live on that leads out to another town, it was evacuated way down to that town. I live in the middle of the city, so I'm good. But it was smoky all into the next day. My sister got sick from it.
It's kind of a bad scene. I can't remember the last time it rained.
I'm not sure if there's anything else. You can definitely talk to me about anything. I don't do much and I like talking and answering comments.
I've been in a strange place recently. Being without a job and a reason to wake up early in the morning and something weighing me down kind of fucks with my mind a little. I seem to always have a burden. Even if it's self-created. I don't know the last time I felt this way. Okay no. After typing that, I do know and what happened after I had those sorts of thoughts made me reevaluate pretty much everything up to that point.
I guess that's why I don't like thinking. Even though I know that this time, I'm safe from all that came before.
So I'm back to where I was. I really need to get a job.
And how are y'all?
