Ya Remember when?
Ya remember when I wrote Friday that I was feeling better and I talked to my sister>> well that was short lived. The headache was back and I was heading home from picking up my regular prescriptions. I called Liz back for something I can’t remember what and we got to talking about how my niece saw the picture of the cats on the brand new furniture.
It pissed both of them off and she was angry but she didn’t sound it when she hung up. But I was angry. I ended up calling Mama Roberta and ranted to her about it for nearly an hour or more. We then discussed the credit card stuff and she wanted to now the interest rates and ending dates on the statements. She explained that if it adds up to the minimum payment that’s fine but if doesn’t (like adding more) then it could be against me.
Most of that night I was semi successful at keeping the cats off the furniture, I also ended up ordering two self-heating cat beds. They should be here by Tuesday I think. Liz had sent me a link for a scratching post that could be adhered to on the chair. She wanted to know what I thought of it. I said it would be confusing the shit out of the cats.
On Saturday hadn’t talked much with Liz until that night. I sent her a text about one of the kitchen chairs coming apart at the split below. She sent me a text that she had been literally in bed with the tooth infection. She had texted me a suggestion that maybe cover the furniture with sheets or something to allow them to sit on the chairs especially,
So we talked on the phone for about 20 minutes discussing why she got so mad at me about the furniture. She went on to say that it was hard work going shopping, researching, pricing etc. and to get Lawyer man to agree to pay for it(btw, yes I am aware it’s my money but…). She feels that I will not be able to get new furniture or anything nice again if it is ruined or not taken care of. She also did that “you also said you would change”. This whole thing isn’t lost on me either. She feels this also took a lot of her emotionally, physically etc. So all the things I said in my rant I never did get to say to her.
She says she understands I want to have the cats cuddle and that they do sit everywhere and anywhere. She related how a friend of hers was on the computer and the cat walked right across the keyboard because she wasn’t paying attention to the cat. Liz supposedly understands this.
In my own defense I said to her I do understand why and I don’t want to constantly be arguing about shit. I am not doing things to appease you either. Although, I think keeping the cats off the furniture may be construed as appeasing. We eventually went past that conversation and talked about the dining room chair which will be gorilla glued at another time. I also told her I got the greatest electric bill ever. The one thing I didn’t tell her was bout the Home again membership annual renewal. So when we hung up we came to an understanding of sorts.
The weather this weekend started off to match my mood. It rained Friday into Saturday and most of Saturday was gray and cloudy. I do remember seeing the sun come out midafternoon. Right now the sun seems to be playing hide and seek behind the clouds. It’s 41 degrees and that’s as high it’s getting today.
I spent most of Saturday doing my version of cleaning. Just before lunch time I cleaned the bathroom. In place like this it should take probably no more than an hour. It took a little longer. I stopped in between and watched TV. I didn’t clean the kitchen until later on in the evening (right before the phone call with Liz).
I did spent the time after lunch and before the night watching my weekend programs the cooking shows on PBS. The Aerial America shows on Sundance. I am not sure what else I want to do today. I know I have to work on the office and get it organized but I want to relax. Put off today what can be done tomorrow.
