NoJoMo 17

I hate this time of night. There's no one awake and absolutely NOTHING going on anywhere. I can't even get a good chat out of the deal. My facebook games are all caught up and there's really nothing for me to do. Sure, I could go do the sinkful of dishes in the kitchen, or fold the clothes from the dryer, but I don't particularly feel like doing any of those things. I fell asleep late in the afternoon and slept until 8:15pm, only waking up because my mother called... and called... and called again when I didn't pick up the first two times. Then she texted me after I didn't pick up on the third call. Why can't people just let me sleep?

It wasn't anything even important. Just wanted to pass along some information from my sister about things she needed on Thursday when she goes to court. She wanted a jacket, some letters from her insurance company, some hangers, and for me to call cousin Jan about trying to find her a lawyer to show up at court on the 18th. I'm sorry, but piss poor planning on my sister's part does not constitute an emergency on my part.

Dad's been bitching at Mom because he wasn't planning to go to court with Corri, but now he's got to pick her up and bring her to Waukegan for court, and then take her back to rehab. He always goes to court and suddenly he's not planning to go? And I'm sorry, just because Corri forgot to ask her father to pick her up and take her to court, doesn't make it my responsibility to bring it up. So Dad is mad at me, at Corri, and he takes it out on Mom, then she turns around and takes it out on me. I told her tonight that wasn't fair and I'm not going to put up with receiving blame for things my sister does or doesn't do.

But, I called my cousin Jan like I was asked to do and Jan said she'd make some calls today and call me later to let me know what she finds out. My sister may be going to court without a lawyer present because she waited so long, but that's her problem. I can't feel sorry for her for her lack of responsibility. I hope this stint in rehab will teach her responsibility and accountability for her actions or inactions.

At any rate, I've put together a box of all the things she's asked for, and I'll bring them with me to court on Thursday. That's where my responsibility ends. I'm only going there for moral support anyway.

I haven't heard anything yet from Borders, but we'll see how that goes. I'm kind of worried, too, that I'll spend all my money on books, but I'm awfully picky about the books I buy, so maybe not. I haven't even been called for an interview yet, so we'll see.

I've eaten like crap yesterday. I skipped breakfast and then had pound cake around 10:30am. The only thing healthy I ate was leftover chicken and rice from last night for lunch yesterday afternoon. Then I grabbed a bag of cheese popcorn and mowed my way through it. I slept through dinner and got up without really wanting to eat, so I had a Skinny Cow mint truffle and some jalapeno chips, just so I could take my pills. Today I'll have to do better.

I may have more to say and do an edit on this entry. I've sort of lost my writing mojo right now.
