Wish this never happened

Wish he'd never stolen anything and gambled. Then he wouldn't have to be gone for 4 years. Oh I know there are weekend leaves. Gives me an upset tummy thinking about it all.
Dad was sick all night and slept all day too, so he missed church and GEVA. He's pretty chipper, especially after I fixed him a nice bowl of soup, some toast the way he likes it and that most refreshing of liquids after you've had diarrhea, ice water. We all watched a cheesy segment on Romania on 60 minutes (I just finished listening to LOST by Aycliff yesterday) and then I went to work.
Unlocking the door I had to disable the alarm in the dark. What th'..... Fuse hadn't been turned off by the cleaner; there were a couple or three light fixtures on, the default ones I guess. Seems like the Town of Greece is finally saving energy, but John can you let us do it ourselves and have the switch at the library instead of at Town Hall? It was still twilight so I could see to collect some of those reading lamps I remembered were in the reference room. Houdini must have installed them though but I finally got 2 unhooked out of trying 12. Now to find plugs in the workroom lol. It was cozy and nicely lit. Listening to a book on tape while working is great enjoyment for me. Chan stayed home both days because Tim's been borrowing the car I use and I drove Dad's car and didn't want stiff bristly pug fur all over it. Shangri-La stayed home for same reason except her shedding would be ori-pei winter coat that she hates getting brushed out. Got back to Rochester around 1 A.M. Looked at new Burda sewing magazine (hey it only arrived Saturday) then went to bed.
Tim did get a tire from his dad so he will have it replaced. His bad luck: it blew out. His good luck: he was only a mile from home and not on 490. So I am without a car but that is ok because even though Jo-Ann's is having a sale I can't afford to buy anything yet, I've lent Tim too much money. Now to repair the co-worker's shorts.

Not attractive

That sinking feeling of "Oh, I remember this from last year" is: a guy who always wants to borrow money is not sexually attractive. No, I am not going to say that at least he is trying. He quit his 2nd job, the one that lasted 2 weeks or so - actually I'm mistaken; they were tired of him calling in and they let him go. This whole thing is so tiring and sad.
Got Sis after work yesterday so she could do my hair. Looks good. Tim decided to have a spur-of-the-moment cookout with his birthday- gift-from-his-parents floor model charcoal grill. He went to buy more meat and some unneeded beer. Sis' hubby came over. I mixed the drinks. Had fun for awhile.
Dad came home early and after hearing him talk for a couple hours he asked me if I'd go to church with him Sunday. I said No I'd have to work. Then I'm like Crap! I've got to work tonight!!!! lol. Good thing I'd only had a short one hours before! Had fun working until after 2 A.M. Then I drove by Long Pond and around Edgemere and Island Cottage Roads before heading home. DID YOU SEE THAT MOON?????!!!!??? The groping when I got home led to my bad memory coming back. more later

Grilled at Vertex

and it wasn't even torture night! tim's sis got me in a corner and gave me the 3rd degree about why don't I like their clan, I mean family. I'm the tar baby; I just sat there sayin' nuttin'. He doesn't want Them to know that he took my card too or the amount he took at all. Gawd, what a sap I still am to be set up like that. Yecccch. Only got to say hi to one friend, and nothing to any other friends. Not a good night.
No one in their family will even have a Princess House party for me, much less come to one I have. Dorks. I hate being angry.
I love my jobs though. Not many people can say that, the whiners. Keep on smiling.

Melodramatic

I hope y'all weren't talking about me when that word was said. Hubby going to the Army is better that hubby going to jail, don't ya think? No, I reckon you don't think.
I am doing alterations, dressmaking and repairs again if anyone is interested. Reasonable rates. We will be at Vertex tonight (Thursday), also if anyone is interested. That actually seems like a good place to throw Tim a going-away party. Open bar and everthang. Maybe on June 3?

I am 100% black

This said about me by a black woman with green contact lenses, so she should know.
What would she say about this Liz, a no-last-name divorcee, early twenties, part-timer at Wegman's who gave a married man her email and possibly phone number. I can guess. I would say sleazy. Tim and Liz have been "friends" since right before Valentine's Day. He is pathetic. Plus I dislike adults saying "I have to pee" unless they are talking to their caregiver.
Oh I got at least 7 compliments on my hair on Wednesday. (I am trying to stay cheerful here.)

Lots of things to be thankful for but I probably shouldn't have married outside of my culture. Tim's white trash family makes Cletus the slack-jawed yokel look like Alistair Cooke.

And how can anyone give away a pet, a cute lil' Pomeranian? OK if you are going to jail or some other restricted place, but if you are simply moving, then find somewhere that takes small pets!!!!!!! Can you tell I don't agree with divorce? As the doomed Vertigo heroine said, "There's so much I don't know."

You're and your

Tim im'ed to his work-girlfriend "your cute". Awwwwwwwwwwwwww. Not that I have been introduced to her or even told about her by him and I am angry about that. What a sap I am. Her name is Liz something and according to Tim she is semi-retarded and very lonely. He says he feels sorry for her. Oh, I've heard of that but the word wasn't 'sorry'. And she's smaller than I am. She must be a midget! So, the correct usage and spelling is in this example: When you're going for your GED, make sure you're well-rested.

Chan says he feels sorry for the boot

Looks like Tim is going to join the Army. He is certain he will pass the remaining tests. He wants to go to boot camp first week of July or so. Not that anyone here is military or anything. It seems like the best alternative for him, he will have a good job, place to live, meals, benefits, and learn a trade, as well as the sign-up bonuses, and college later. We shall see.

More misery

capable, vibrant

Chan and Shangri-La

My son and daughter "took" me to Uncle Wick's for angus burger. She in the back seat and he in the front so they won't quarrel. She ran around like a normal dog and he "walked around lilke he was auditioning for Night of the Living Dead," said Wick. "He's blind, ya know," I said of course. I didn't go out last night, surprise. Felt I had to keep 2 eyes on Tim. Missed seeing Lino, Dave Anderson, Herman, even Paul "dickhead". Lyres were very good said Wick. Got some good items at Salvation Army yesterday after work: 1995 Bill Blass, 90's Nicole Miller with a very nice decorated belt, Puritan Forever Young from 60's, 3 homemade beautiful 60's dresses, a cute one with dreaded nylon thread yuk, a black dress from gasp this century, and the 1st thing I picked up was a dress like Aunt Bert would have worn. This all found quickly cos I was in a hurry.......
Now youngsters are tuckered out and I have Tim's laundry to get to. Keep on truckin'.

Lyres tonight

at the Bug Jar. I'm arriving late, I don't like the Priests. But not too late, there will be friends to talk to.

Sugar Mountain

Dad is not sure what exactly to do about Tim. Awhile later, I go to work and hear a sad song that was my favorite on the oldies station when I was a child in Georgia. It was amazing how many of not just his but my friends too were at Dean's funeral. That is a reason I'll always have a soft spot for Dave Snyder, he went to the wake. And Pat Mosch' said to me, oh yeah, Dean came to see my band. It doesn't seem like 15 years, seems like 15 minutes ago. Wiping my tears away in the parking lot, I go in and Diane thinks I've heard but I haven't. Roseanne the children's librarian died suddenly last night. Everyone at second job is so nice. We are all sad and shocked. It sounds like the same thing Lois Hoffmann died from and after the library closes we find out it was: toxic shock syndrome. No pain at least, they said.
Tim's grandmother is all devastated that her shares in General Motors are losing money. Is that worse than being stolen thousands of dollars? Or my dad paying Tim's stupid reposessed sports car from even before we knew he existed AND jewelry AND gambling debts and Tim then stealing his credit card AND forging a home equity check?

Good news the lawnmower was only flooded

Tim mowed the lawn while I installed new software to block online gambling on Dad's computer too. Even made it in time for class. No laundry, sweeping or hair done yet tho haha. Yep, hair is getting all nappy.

Kent State massacre

Last night Tim told my Dad he'd stolen the credit card and forged Dad's name, boo-hoo. Dad is going to bail out Tim, the white trash scum puddle. I only hope I am wrong in that not only are we not going to get our money back, he is going to steal from us again. Dad says then if he does, he is going to jail. My Dad is nice. Tim counts on this.
Thinking of Jeff, Dustin and Kathy today more than usual, the late weird Harold, Germano, and all the other Kent Staters who were there, and those who were not there.
So, no I didn't go to open jam last night. Now Dad and I feel sick and Tim is whistling Dixie at work. Probably treating himself to a nice big Wegman's sub, possibly his girlfriend joining him at the table? using the 1 credit card I ever did allow him to use, which incidentally he won't give back. Oh yeah and when I asked him to leave he wouldn't go. He slept very well, bless his heart. Online poker doesn't accept that credit card. He couldn't get the lawn mower to start yesterday. Have to laugh. I can't call in to work though.

I hope

Jenna seems nice. Steve seems like a regular guy, in other words, sometimes nice, sometimes a jerk. What Jenny did is unforgivable and uncalled for tho. Jenna's friend Ian is bad news, get away from him quick, run!! Jenna might not want to go to the prom with Steve tho, sounds like he might could grow 8 hands that night and I don't want her to be in a bad situation like that. Wait for a regular date to start things up again.
Allison's report was very insightful about how creepy guys can be, all lecherous, when all we are trying to do is have fun. Makes it difficult for us to be ourselves. Then I read the comment.... from "Ms. Ross".....it really is her teacher and she is like Don't forget to write about your assignments, not personal things. There is a blow to self-esteem. 'minds me of all the crappy teachers....you are not smart, talented, motivated enough to have written, thought, drawn, proved this so you must have plagiarized, even tho I the teacher have no article to back up my accusation. and so you must be punished. yuk. yes, I am starting to feel resentful again! of all the white-bread people who always had running water and never drank powdered milk unless it was on a camping trip. Who can give their advice and opinions with the born-with-knowledge not even questioned indeed not even thought of that someone is listening and cares. whew. Imaagine what I would have written if this library keyboard worked better hehe.

Look who's dead

Hasil Adkins. So on Thursday Sean came over to me at the club and said Carolee et al. had been wondering where the heck I'd been. I promised to be out on Saturday. Had to break that promise. It's like babysitting, only there is no baby.
If it hadn't been for John Mills, there would not now be any children named Haylee or Haleigh or Hayleah or such. Still, worth all that.
What song to sing on Tuesday? The poll is open. Out of Time or Wall of Death? Bye for now, Big D.

Watch out, I'm gonna be a nurse

Homework for last hour. whew. very difficult. now for the hard part: remembering. gn Miss Nan

Lyres Saturday!!

Lyres are coming to Bug Jar Saturday. May 7. Who wants to go with me, Tim doesn't. anyway King of the Hill is always good, even the new ones. c ya.

Mistaken?

I got some good advice from a comment made on a post, but now I am afraid that someone thought I was talking to them?? I mean, I KNOW I'm paranoid, but........and I joke around too much. Probably shouldn't have said anything about Tim's new (dorky) haircut on a blog. I thought only my sis and a couple others would see it, actually it is kinda cool. Since I have been hitting the next blog button, I have found a classmate and another Rochesterian, and a student of my bro's. About the haircut - Hubby called me at work and said he had a big surprise. New pug? No, when I got home there was the dorky haircut. Surprise! My hair looks great tonight tho, thanks sis for coming over and doing it for me. Off to do housework on my day off.
