Update on my busy life
Thank you to everyone for your comments & condolences. I hadn't seen J in 4 years, and he looked good then. I thought he had beaten the addictions, but I guess not. I do know that the injury he received on the job was devestating. He couldn't work again, and I think that played into his mindset and his addictions.
The diabetes was hereditary. His real father (my Uncle adopted him when he & A. T got married), was a diabetic, as was his paternal grandmother.
His wife says there will be no services. He didn't want any. He wanted a simple cremation and spreading of his ashes, like our grandmother, who he always admired and kept in contact with her and visited her as often as he could. Only J & I really kept up with Grandma. Not even my siblings did. I know that Grandma accepted him with his problems and loved him unconditionally. Esp since he was the only other grandchild that really cared.
-------------------------------------------------
I am soooo exhausted. I hardly ate at all this weekend. The drive was harrowing both ways (more about that later), and that makes for a tough 7-8 hour drive.
Kelly looks FABULOUS!
I will post pictures and more about the shower in a later post. Too tired to bother with it now.
-------------------------------------------------
Work was FRICKING BUSY! Then again, when isn't it? I love it though. Thank God we don't have any flyers to do for the next two weeks. I have so much to catch up on.
Next time you get your K-Mart flyer, think of me. I PUT THOSE FLYERS TOGETHER! I'm so proud, even though the printer actually does it and I don't see the finished result until the final edit. But I do the blueprint, the attaching of the pictures (& sometimes decide which ones to use), I help write the copy, and determine what goes where.
Only worked until 1 today, though. I had too much to do with laundry & shopping.
-------------------------------------------------
Spent a fricking HOUR on the phone with Bank of America. We have an pull of money for Andrew's school twice a month for different classes. He dropped one class with sufficient time, and we got a credit for what we paid. But they said we have to call the bank to put a stop.
So I did. With sufficient time. $213, right?
They still fricking pulled the money, then told me they have to manually put it back in. Since there isn't a BOA in Cleveland, I trusted them and then went on our way.
Fuck no, they didn't!
We get back, find not only did they NOT give us our credit, they pulled money from our savings to cover a couple of debits, AND THEN CHARGED US FOR PULLING OUR MONEY FROM OUR SAVINGS TO COVER SOME DEBITS. BULL FRUCKING SHIT!
So they told us they COULDN'T give us the refund, we have to do a "dispute". At least the dispute doesn't cost us anything, but still I counted on some of that money for this weekend. I'm still so fucking pissed.
-------------------------------------------------
This morning started off horrible as it was. Went to drive the truck so Ron & Andrew could clean out the car. SOME ASSHOLE PARKED SO CLOSE TO OUR TRUCK THERE WAS ONLY 4-5" ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE! I couldn't get in!.
I don't know who's car it was, so I put a note under the asshole's windshield wiper, that said he had no courtesy, and I couldn't get in our truck.
What if we didn't have another vehicle? Or Ron had to work today.
JERK
