...and when you find the time, I'll be waiting...
I've been in hiding. I don't know why I have resorted to this but I have once again become a *complete* hermit. No messengers. No LJ. No internet what-so-ever, actually. Heh... you'd think my house would be cleaner. But being a hermit has given me the annoying habit of noticing my neighbors a lot more. "People watching" from the comfort of my living room.
The lady across the way has a fractured wrist. She's telling everyone she got it by falling off her bicycle. While I know its a strong possibility, I also think it's a bit doubtful. She also has a very controlling/abusive boyfriend. She's very co-dependent as is he and he certainly has anger management issues. He yells at her a lot when he is over and they both drink considerable amounts of alcohol. So while she could have gotten hurt from riding her bike, she also could have been injured during one of their... disagreements. (Plus I have noticed that since her arm has been in a cast, they don't fight quite as much... hmmmm. One can only speculate.)
My neighbor's teenage daughter is afraid of us. She came over once last year because she needed some personal items, saw the house, and has stayed far away from us ever since. I guess to "normal" people my place can seem kinda creepy. Like a haunted house all year round with skulls and masks and weapons hanging on every wall. My collection of 'occult-type' books on the shelves and my altar probably freaked her out a little too. Heh... and to me it just looks like every-day stuff.
Kindergoth spent the night with my SIL so I put together her Easter casket. (No, I didn't misspell 'basket'. I actually meant what I said') I painted an old LDD box in light lavander with silver handles on the side and filled it up with toys and goodies for her. I'm quite proud of it, I think it turned out great. I wanted to take pics but... my batteries are dead....... Again. I would say that I will post pics later but who am I trying to kid. I know I will forget and so do you so I wont get your hopes up.
Speaking of Easter, our plans are the same as every other holiday. Celebrate in our way here (a.k.a. give Kindergoth a gift and maybe have a sugar-filled breakfast snack such as pastries or something) and then go and gather at the in-laws where there will be an egg hunt for Kindergoth and my 13 yr old niece and I can be picked on for my choice of dress (no matter what I wear), and how I raise/discipline/dress/ my child. Eat. Listen to the screeching of my niece and the joining in of Kindergoth and wincing because it hurts my ears and then getting snapped at by my MIL because I winced. (I can't help the fact I have sensitive ears.)
Bleh... Just realizing this makes me really tempted to sit this holiday out. Especially the way my MIL yelled at me last time for not being social enough to her liking and being all depressed and shit. ~frowns~
~shakes head~ Anyway... I think that about sums it up for the moment. I am going to try to catch up on reading all of your entries as well because I have been slacking so badly. (I'm a horrible friend. Sorry.) Hope you all have a good holiday.
