This is the kind of driver I am seriously. Sometimes. I thought I had improved but now I am not so sure, like, yesterday was BAD.

bad-drivers-9.jpg


I have had a full grasp on my car for some time now, even backing up, even like, you know in tight spaces.

Yesterday I ran off the road (grass verge) like 3 times but ALSO hit a guard rail. It was glancing blow, and I wasn't going THAT fast but it was also VERY BAD.

Really though, my issue was, I did not stop to investigate these incidents. I mean maybe the grass verge ones.... But the guard rail? I was just like, "Oh GOD, I suppose if anything bad happens it will manifest itself. Nothing did. I have these super duper rubberized like, bumpers that kind of bounce you back . I am going to miss my Mazda.

So, even if it takes slightly longer to get to WV I can't drive half asleep. Apparently. Fortunately the husband is also realizing his limitations with the truck.

Neighbors were awesome. I adopted the 20 year old kid and we like did stuff and let the adults do the packing jig saw. He had microcephaly and only started talking 6 years ago. But, I can make any kid talk. I taught him packing tape and the gigantic like, uh, cling film

Finishing today, cleaning and like OMG the husband is calling the dog BIG time I hope he is a) not dead or b) not run away.

OH MY GOD THE DOG RAN AWAY THE SIDE GATE WAS OPEN. THIS WAS NOT DELIBERATE.

F**********************************!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are never gonna find him. Not in time I don't think. Jeez.

I am glad this work week is over, it was a tough one, I could have gotten 2 1/2 hours overtime today. I really could have used it, but I was tired and need to go to the store. I left with just a 1/2 hour OT.
Also I have not mentioned this, but my sister in law died this morning at 2:30 AM. She had been receiving treatment, for cancer sense last December. Then last week it moved into her liver. They were married for around 32 years, I think she was around 65. They had 5 kids, and a bunch of grand kids, with more on the way. She was a wonderful person, and brought a lot of joy to the family, she never did drugs or smoked, I don't get it.

Sad news KAS. Liver cancer is one of the least painful cancers so perhaps there is some comfort in that she didn’t suffer worse from the other areas. 65 is not old.

All kidding aside, I hope you find the dog before you have to move...loosing a pet sucks.

I'm sorry @kas122461 . That is very sad. I don't get why this stuff, either. My grandmother lived to be over 100 and she was not the nicest person. My mom had not seen her in like 50 years and decided on a final visit and the first thing my grandmother said was, "Cor, blimy, you've gotten fat haven't you." My mom who I guess has matured in her old age was like, "Yes, ma, good to see you I have gotten very fat in my old age, good to see you, love you a bunch."

My response would have been different I hated that old sow. My earliest memory of her was my mom like, leaving us with her for some reason and she woke up and told me and my little sister "You can have ANYTHING for breakfast you want!" My sis was like, "I would like some toast please." My GM was like, "I'm NOT TOASTING this nice fresh bread what is wrong with you."

Telling that woman the logical inconsistency between her TWO ENTIRELY conflicting statements does NOT work and the SHEER INJUSTICE (I was like 4) sent me crying to my room and I cut up my favorite dress. To be fair to my mom, she fixed it with patches. She also said, "Why aren't you cutting up GM's dress?" I gave her the darkest of looks and like said, "Have you met your mommy before? I bet she would toast my fingers."

Yeah, she lived to over 100. Whoo. A relative had to take her in for DECADES. I don't think I coulda done it but who knows. l was not asked, and I am glad.

These things make no sense, other than that tired trope of like us being on the OTHER side of the tapestry of JOY where like, up ABOVE everything is perfect but down here there are knots and frayed knots (my GM) and no discernable pattern.

We got the dog. I was crying ,smoking, wailing "My son will never BELIEVE me!" and promising God that if the dog came back, we would live in an RV if necessary. I so wish I had not made that promise because I don't want to BE LIKE MY GM if necessary. Like, "Oh sorry God, I'm not staying in this lovely new autumn ecosystem like, .because I changed my mind. Get me a house or the dog dies.

My life is just an example of how not to live a life.

That song, "How to save a life" by the fray about suicide and death well it is "mah" psychotic song it plays at odd moments when I need it when I have made a "GOOD psychotic decision" like "Call your family and let them admit you to the psych unit."

I am going to rewrite it sometime and entitle it "How NOT to live a life."

It will be aswesom I might record it even. I have a decent voice. It's an easy song.

Oh well, quote a pair of middle school girls at the mall going, "Ooh here comes Crystal don't look at her she dresses WEIRD." The other girl, "Well, at least she's not fat."

"Cor blimy at least I'm not fat.;

Thanks, it is tough, but it will be tougher for my brother, and all the kids and grand kids, the funeral is going to move quickly I think Monday or Tuesday.
