Had my first day off since the end of July today. It seriously disturbed my system. I kept trying to wake up, couldn't figure out why and kept trying to go back to sleep ... only to have this cat stare me into conciousness because he was tired of waiting for me to feed him!
So the move(s) went fairly well ... sort of. Only one injured party. Shorty fell off the ramp of the moving truck and struck his head on a cement planter. He took a good chunk out if it too. The planter, not his head. Needed stitches in his head though. Needless to say, he wasn't feeling like helping much after that. Which meant that we had no real help. Joyce and Albert helped unload one load, and one of my co-workers came to help a bit ... but there was no help after that. Just Jade and his Dad. I wasn't as much help as I could have been since I was working and not home much. Not very interested in working when I finally got home either. I simply lacked the energy.
Shorty, I hope you are feeling better, and I'm sorry that I haven't called yet. I keep thinking I should, but things are still kinda hectic. I will call soon, though.
Jade's Mom gave me the "I was a single mother" lecture ... I so wanted to tell her to stuff it. I've heard that same lecture from my mother for most of my life. It doesn't affect me at all. And if I have to hear one more time about how she's giving up all this money to help JADE by a house because she thinks he needs to own something and he better not screw it up ... I'm going to leave the room before I do something rash. Like hog tying her and hanging her in a tree until the guys get home. She once told me to slap her if she starts to annoy me, but then she'd complain about the cost of repairing her dentures. ;)
Elohelae, man, you don't need an invitation ... just give me enough warning to make sure the place is cleaned up! And that I have enough space and food! That's all. Same goes for anybody. Just call up for directions and let me know when you are on your way.
Riding lessons went well tonight. I managed to stay in the stirrups, and, therefore, the saddle, during a canter. Jade came and watched a bit for the first time. He says that I have a very nice post. He also thinks he might be able to teach me a bit better ... but we currently lack the horses to test this theory.
The downstairs should be done soon and I'll be very happy to get the in-laws into their own space. I feel like I'm living in somebody else's house. Yes, there are bits of Jade's and my furniture, and a few of our glasses, but the dishes, the cooking stuff, everything else is THEIRS. And it's all being organised the way THEY like it. I'm trying to hold out. I tell myself that I can arrange it the way I want it when they get their own space done. I tell myself to be patient.
Damned if I'll wait much longer than that though. I don't care who paid for it initially; the house is ours. It's in our name and Jade (and I) will be paying the rest of the mortgage. There wasn't much that I could do about the initial organisation ... the boxes had to be unpacked and I was working. But Hokey stinkmore though! This woman has NO organisational skills at all! She's driving me up the wall with the chaos that my kitchen appears to be in. Sure, she can find things, but so can a teenager find things in his/her room that nobody else can find!
Grr!
And when she needs to go somewhere, she assumes that I will take her. She never asks. It's always, "(Lea) can take me."
Well, I must be off to bed. My typing is getting worse. Will write more later.
Sweet Dreams!
