I haven�t read my horoscope the past couple weeks. If I had maybe it would�ve said something like this: �Everything you touch will turn to sh*t�. And it has.
With all the things going on in the world, I feel guilty for complaining about my life. But this is my diary, and my place to vent. And lord, do I need to vent!
Jackie went to Cinder�s this weekend. By the way, she didn�t make any ignorant comments this time.
Saturday, I was hoping to get the child support because I got it last month around this time, the 17th or so. However, I checked the mail Saturday morning and it was not in there. Strike 1. It really cut into my fun since I couldn�t even go buy a new shirt or pair of pants to wear.
While brushing my teeth, I was in a hurry. I knew Lisa was on her way. I hit my back tooth (the one the dentist filled last week) and knocked my tooth 98% out of its socket. Oh. The Pain!!
The pain did subside. I called my dentist but he was not answering his home phone. I did not want to go to the emergency room and wait 6 hours to be seen, so I decided to wait until Monday.
Still, I had plans for the day, Saturday. Lisa and I did go see �The Exorcism of Emily Rose� which scared the patootie out of me, and it was really good. She treated, so I could save a little money. About that time I was thinking of Uranus and very mad at him for not sending me that check! Lately, I just feel like I�m at the mercy of other people, and that makes me angry! Thank God I have people in my life that will help me out or I�d be up the creek. Without Lisa�s help, I wouldn�t have been able to put gas in my car to go pick up my kid on Sunday!
After �Emily Rose�, we dropped by my house to eat our dinner, Steak n Shake. Of course, I have to chew on the right side of my mouth.
Man, that stuff is always good!
After that we decided to head over to her house. I stepped into her car and something exploded on my leg and foot. I was so hoping it wasn�t a mouse or something. When Lisa got over laughing, she looked. I had stepped on a ketchup packet.
Sigh.
We went to Lisa�s so I could meet her new kitty Ozzy. She gives me a baby wipe and I clean off my leg and my pants. I no longer smell like ketchup.
I see her new kitten sitting on top of the recliner. He�s about 3 pounds!
He is just the most adorable little kitty. I think she is right, there looks like some Maine Coone in him. He�s got beautiful markings.
For our entertainment, we went to the Phoenix for a while.
We drove by Woody�s, which is now known as the �Cresc*ent Room�, but a radio station van from �The Point�, which I sort of like sometimes but Lisa hates, was outside, so we didn�t go there.
The Phoenix was packed! Unfortunately, I couldn�t drink, so that really changes the perspective on going out somewhere! This is what Lisa has dealt with for years. Her acid reflux used to be so bad she couldn�t even have a sip of beer! It�s much better now.
Lisa had a beer and I sipped Sprite.
The band that was playing that night, �Groove Thang� was really good and the music was a mix of 70�s, 80�s, and nineties. I really liked them.
We left so I could go home and take my Klonopin.
Back at home, Lisa�s standing there talking to me while I had Little Bear outside so he could pee. Only, he lifted up his leg and peed on my leg. I was so mad! This is the 2nd time in 6 months he�s done that!
The day just needed to end!
I knew the article was supposed to print in the Post Sunday morning. I wake up early and head to McDonald�s to grab some breakfast. I stop at the newspaper box and grab a paper. The anticipation is building so much I am shaking!
With trembling hands, I read it from front to back and there is not one single solitary mention of me or anything to do with the case. By now I am sorely disappointed and fuming!
Then, a lady stops at my window and tells me that my front left tire is extremely low! What next?
I run home and eat and then I leave. I stop at QuikTrip to get air in my tire only to realize that my cover for the part where you put the air in is MISSING! I fill it up with air and leave.
I call Mr. Sweatpants and thank God he is home. I tell him to stay where he is, that I�m stopping by so he can look at my tire.
When I get there, he looks at my tire. He gets the tire gauge out of his car and he checks the air pressure on all the tires. I ask him if they sell the little covers for the tire thingies and he tells me he believes you have to buy a whole new tire and that they don�t sell them separately! Crap!
I also mention that my transmission�s been slipping. He checks my fluid and it�s dangerously low. He promises to bring some to my house later that day.
What kind of ding dong doesn�t check her fluids regularly? ME!
I put Little Bear on his chain and we hop in the car and head out to Florissant to pick Jackie up. It is an uneventful ride.
I pick Jackie up and we�re going back home. I�m happy because Mom wants to take Jackie in a couple of weeks because it turns out that Jackie spent the entire weekend at my sister Maggie�s house, and Ma didn�t get enough time with her! I agreed to that.
When we get home, Jackie and I attempt to clean. HUD is inspecting our complex on Monday so the house needed to be clean. Only, I never got the energy up to do it. So the dishes were done and the trash was out. But the house was not spic and span.
Rene� came over that afternoon. I played with my loose tooth while I watched him attempt to put transmission fluid into my car without the cone. I tried to tell him you could make a cone out of a magazine cover but he paid me no mind. He spilled it everywhere.
After filling it up enough, Rene� told me he was coming back later that evening to eat with us. So I didn�t make any plans to eat dinner.
Only, he didn�t even call until almost 9 p.m. By then I had already heated up some Lean Pockets in the microwave. I told him not to bother coming by and that I�d see him on Monday or Tuesday at work.
Uranus called. I knew it wouldn�t be good news. He got a job last week, at a logging mill, making $10.00 an hour. He doesn�t have this month�s child support.
I have faith he�ll get a good job. He�s short on common sense, but he is book smart, and has 2 degrees. If he�d move here, he�d get a great job. But he doesn�t want to leave Oregon. I can�t feel sorry for him on that. You gotta go where the money is if you want to take care of your family.
If I get any money from him this month, it will be $150.00 less than what I normally get, so I won�t even count on it.
Monday wasn�t too bad. I was very tired though. I checked the paper again and no article. I truly believe it may run next Sunday. This really sucks.
I was sitting at my desk in the afternoon and my tooth just fell out. But not the root! God forbid because that would make my life easier!
I call the dentist and he cancels my appointment for today and tells me to make an appointment with the orthodontic surgeon because �the root needs to come out�. Only, I can�t afford that right now. It has to wait until Friday when I get paid. What makes me mad is that this always happens to me. I think I�m getting on top of my bills and then something like this comes and �Whammo!�, I�m slapped back down into my little hole in the ground, lest I forget where I stand in the world.
This morning, I plug my cell phone into the charger and that�s when I realized that not yesterday or this morning did I ever see the message �Phone charging� in the message box. I replug it in and try a few different things. Then I looked at my bar, and its low, and that�s when I realized the car jack has not been charging up the cell phone. I then get mad at US Cellular. First, I agree to a contract with them that says the first six months my bill is $20.00 a month. I get my first bill and with a $23.00 credit, my bill is $46.00! I try to call about it and it�s a big old mess. I need Lisa to come over one day this week and help me.
Now, the cell phone jack for the car that I bought a month ago doesn�t work anymore.
I am beyond pissed.
Man, I wish I�d read my horoscope so I would�ve been prepared!
