Now Playing: "Star Wars Lego : The Complete Saga" for Dearest Son and Beloved Hubby
Current Mood : Resigned with a twinge of bitter
I've had some time to let yesterday's turn of events sink in. Still not terribly happy about the whole thing, and if you call me a spoiled brat for that, well, I wouldn't blame you, and I'd agree that I'm a big one. I was kind of enjoying the life I had, but that's pretty much gone for the foreseeable future.
Still, even the worst possible events can provide a good challenge, and lead to good things. A job would help my self-esteem and we can sure use the cash. Just don't remember who my supervisor was the last time I worked - it was in 2000, I think - and I'm kind of hard-pressed these days to provide a reference I'm not related to. My hermit ways always bite me in my big butt.
I just feel like I'm letting their situation dictate my life, and I resent the #ell out of that. And I feel like I have to leave my own home because I can't stand being in the same room with folks who mope around, complain endlessly, and spend 90% of their waking hours watching television. Boy, is life gonna rank for them here. No cable. At the same time, I have to make sure I'm the one who gets Dearest Son ready for school, and I have to be here when he gets home. This is gonna make that job thing kind of hard to find. Wish I could find some volunteering that pays !
We moved furniture today - Beloved Hubby's closet now houses the computer desk, and our clothes are crammed in mine. We also put a locking mechanism on our door. We have reasons, but it would be unkind to go into them. I'm sure I haven't given you a very good impression of them, which is bad of me, but right now, I just can't get past myself to tell you how wonderful they can be. I know it's not fair, but right now, if I start getting into what's fair, I'll be here all night, and it won't have anything to do with dolls.
I appreciate your tolerance. I'll get back to dolls Monday, I promise. For one thing, there's a flea market tomorrow and Tuesday, for some reason. I also have recycling to turn in, a donation drop (Dearest's outgrown so much this year !), and a few errands to run. Since Dearest's home from school until Thursday, I have company ! After that, I have an unholy amount of cleaning to do before next weekend. At least I'll finally get some stuff done.
Tuesday, we go pick up some applications. Wish me luck !
Ps - sorry I don't have those new images up. We're trying to figure out the best way to connect the printer/fax when the computer's on one end of the room and the phone line's on the other. No printer = no scanner. I knew I should have done those last week !
