Cool Weather and rain on the way! Finally!

It's the beginning of a new week and I have a feeling it is going to be a good one. The weather is finally going to cool off and it's supposed to rain! It's supposed to be in the low 60's during the day so I am looking forward to that. I am finally feeling the fall.

Thanksgiving is also this week and Nancy called me yesterday and asked to help cook everything, in fact she wants to cook the entire meal with just my instruction. Wow! You gotta love that! She says she's actually "become quite the little cook" since she moved out on her own. I had dinner over at her place a few times and the dinners were excellent, better than most restaurants. She is still at her apartment and yes she is getting evicet after court next week. Tonya really screwed her over bad, of course in doing that she screwed her self as well. But even though she won't have the money she needs to keep the place she still is going to appear in court and explain what happened. I admie her for that. Now they will probably not care and she will still get evicted in which case she will learn once more how unfair the court system can be. But at least she has the nerve to show up and not run from it. That's Nancy, stand and fight till the end. She will never back down. We are that way but as I got older and as Shannon gets older we handle things differently and we tend to choose our fights wisely, know when to walk away and when to actually physically fight. I took aikido years ago when I was in high school so I learned alot from there. I loved Aikido and I became really good at it and the discipline was a big help. Maybe Nancy and Erin should go to Aikido for awhile. Hmmm that's a thoght. The same dojo I went to is still here, the sensei was killed in a plane crash years ago but I think his son runs it now.

Nancy also wants me to drink with everyone on Thanksgiving, she says she has never seen me drunk or wasted. There's a reason for that, I used to have to be the one who had to regulate everyone else. Now that my girls are grown, I may just have a couple drinks, no I won't get wasted and falling down drunk, been there done that. But a couple drinks would actually be nice. The girls and their friends are funny, they see me me have a little beer or a glass of wine and they are shocked, oh my God! Mom's drinking, hello.... I wasn't born yesterday, I went through my party stage in high school, now though I can relax and have a few drinks and have some fun, because I don't have to be in charge anymore. I love it!!!

Shannon broke up with Flip and now the childishness starts. Flip is all into ICP (Insane Clown Posse) and so someone sent her a pic on her cell phone of one of the wicked clowns. I don't know if it's is meant to be a threat or be scarey, but we got a laugh out of it. It was pretty funny, "she's been clowned!" Chloe's dad was into ICP bigtime, ICP tattoos everywhere etc. and because Shannon wasn't into them he said she wasn't "Down with the clown" so our ICP jokes go way back. And frankly sending a pic of a wicked clown is not scarey, it's childish, exactly the reason they broke up to begin with and hello... when you send a pic on a cell phone it includes a phone number. So sad....

I read yesterday that the government has come up with a spy drone that is the size of a bee and I think it looks like one too. It can fly into a place take pics, record things and explode. Now that is absofuckinglutely creepy. But I can just picture something like that flying into our house. We are all allergic to bees so when one flies in it's an emergency. So everyone is going "Oh my God a bee! Kill it! And we try to take it down with the broom or the electric fly swatter that Tyler left here before we get stung and get really sick. So yeah it probably wouldn't last long here.

Last week ended up really well, I got to keep my job, and though the trouble that happened was not my fault, and not anything I did, (miscommunication from insurance co that really screwed up my attendance) I am glad that the higher ups took the time to look at what happened and look at my performance and not fire me. Especially at a time when the company is cutting back, and the economy is bad. Usually when this type of situation happens and it has before with others, they lose their jobs. But I guess I was lucky. So I am really happy about that. My psychic says that I have lots of protection and someone higher up in the company likes me (not like that) and this must be true.

Now I gotta figure out how I am going to juggle my bills this month. I am almost in the clear. The spider bite episode put me really behind and I am about 650.00 behind. Normally there is overtime I can work but with the economy there is none available. It'll work out it's just kinda tough right now. I've never been in this situation before. I have always paid everything on time. But brown recluse bites are serious shit. I have never been so sick in my life. It is still healing But I was fortunate that it wasn't worse. Ah well,like I always tell my kids. this too will pass, it will all work out.

I am going to go write, and do laundry and find some shoes to wear to work in the rain, my little black flats I wear to work won't do. Becuase I take the bus I have to walk a bit so they have to be comfortable shoes. Ok so I've rambled on enough. I am off to write.
Hugs,
Maria
