I can't believe I haven't posted since last year. I guess the last few days were very uneventful. We spend New Year's Eve during the day at my dad's doing laundry. The apartment laundry machines upstairs and downstairs weren't working. After a rant on facebook, my dad called me and said I could use his. lol So we drove over there and spent a few hours. My dad wasn't home, but got home around 8ish. We stayed and ordered pizza and left some time between 9 and 10. We got home and Russ' friend, Charles was over at Cameron's place. And we went over there to hang out for New Years. I stayed for 15 minutes. Went home and came back about 20 till midnight. (Cameron lives in our apt building) Outside our building, we can see fireworks all around us. Different huge celebrations having huge firework shows. I love it!
I had to work New Year's Day, and it was pretty crazy. New year, new insurances. hooray! Everybody's insurances have changed. Either they have a deductible or got a new card. And no one seems to understand that concept when their medications' prices are higher than normal. And we're the ones that can't do our jobs. fun times!
I need out of the pharm!
Nothing else exciting is happening.
When I took the dog out this morning, I found out that my friend, Stephanie has been evicted. Steph and I went to high school together, and moved into my apt complex about three years ago. She apparently got a little lippy with the new owner. (she has a short fuse) Because this building always has problems, and no one can ever seem to fix them. So she received a 15 day eviction notice yesterday. I feel really bad for her, because her kid goes to the middle school right down the street, and her boyfriend walks to work every day, and it's really hard to pack up, and find a place that quickly, let alone find the money for one. I told her to make a heartfelt plea to the new owner. Just talk. Person to person without showing any anger. Even though she can be lippy, she's honestly one of the least problem causing people here in this building. The cops are called I want to say twice a month or more on someone here. People are always fighting. People are drinking from morning till night outside. They are loud and obnoxious. It's why Russ and I stay indoors all the time. Well, we're indoor people anyway, but our neighbors are big enablers. lol. We talk about moving out, but that's just too much work. We both hate the act of moving. Packing up everything. Transporting it somehow. Unpacking. Not fun.
So I just found out on facebook, Russ' niece has her baby shower tomorrow. I shouldn't feel angry about not being invited. And for the most part I'm not. I think I'm more hurt. But that's their family for you. We didn't even know Lauren was pregnant until Halloween, and she was I think 6 months then. So that baby is coming out soon. Now had I got pregnant and not told them, AND not invite Josie (Russ' brother's wife) and the two girls (who are 20+ now) to a baby shower, we would've been shunned for a few years. Cardinal sin. They haven't talked to Russ' mom in like three years now. How could you not talk to your own mother? That concept just baffles me. No matter what she does to you, she's still your mother. And this is for something stupid, not detrimental to anyone. One of the girls was graduating from high school a few years ago. Lynne (Russ' mom) is really afraid to drive on the interstate. She can go short distances, but there's no way she will drive on the interstate. It's not going to happen. Even when someone drives her, she gets extremely anxious. Now, the day of the graduation, she was really sick. She got a nasty cold. She still wanted to go, but there was no one around to take her. And she wasn't going to drive herself. Not in her condition. I think the graduation ceremony was a good distance away. maybe a half hour driving the interstate, but back roads could take you a couple hours. So she didn't go, and they stopped talking to her calling her completely disrespectful. blablablabla..
...and then they don't agree with her relationship choices. She married Ray the year Russ and I got together in 2007. I met Russ in May of 2007 and Lynne and Ray got married that October. Now I admit. I'm not a fan of Ray. But whatever. He has other girlfriends on the side. Rob caught him one day sneaking around with this woman. Lynne is aware. She's getting older and can't perform her wifely duties any more, so because she has issues of being alone, she'll let him do whatever. (It's fucked up I know.) They got divorced. And when Rob found out they were still "together" he stopped talking to her. I don't think he knows they got remarried. But whatever. I love my mother in law. I know she has issues, but I love her. She's scared of being alone. Plus she has physical issues and can't get a job. So Ray is living there to help pay bills and what-not. Even though I do believe he's sucking her dry. All her savings are gone. And she has issues being alone. She can't function without someone there. She's an adult woman who makes her own decisions. Whether we agree with them or not, it doesn't matter. We've both spoke our peace, and that's the most we can do. Rob, Russ' brother, decides never to talk to her again. It's nothing new. Russ told me that he's been doing that Russ' entire life. Back when Russ' dad was still alive, and Russ was a kid, Rob and Josie stopped talking to them for years. They had the two girls then and even moved out of state. So Lynne never did get to see her granddaughters in their tiny baby stage. But whatever, I can talk about that subject forever.
I should be doing lesson plans right now. I told myself that's what I'm going to do all day today... aaaand I'm procrastinating. lol what else is new.
I hope everyone has an amazing 2015!
peace!
