What Life Brings

Well I was surprised to find the landlord home last night. He checked himself out of the hospital. Up to yesterday the medical staff was telling him that they would get him in any hospital that he wanted. It would just be a phone call. Well that all changed yesterday when pathology stopped by to tell him his results. They told him to bring his beggar's hat when he went to John Hopkins which was a complete turn around. So him and his ex are leaving today to head north. I was surprised that he wouldn't be coming back. I figured with the change in life expectancy that he would stay around a bit or come back after treatment to take care of stuff. However this is the age of technology and things can be done from anyplace. So today I start being alone in the house. Tonight I'll see what I'm left with and start planning out meals. Since I'm cooking I'll start bringing my lunch to work more often again.

With these changes I think I'll try to make Wednesday a standing day with Asp and then the rest of the time would be over the weekend. That will give me enough time at the home to take care of anything plus not disrupt things that I need to get done. Plus not have to drive all over the city which is starting to take a toll on my gas tank. I'll know better once the utilities come in to better budget my meals. I'll need to make a journey into my storage unit for my cook books which are who knows where in there.

I did find out that Inverse has already blown it with her parents who spent their life savings to set her up down there. She's suppose to be coming back to the city. I thought she would have at least made it a few months. I feel really bad for lost who is just a ping pong ball being bounced around. I've lived that life and it's no fun.

That was fast

Well Inverse is 2 months ahead of schedule. She's moving out. While I'll miss the T&A shots I get I'll be much happier without all the arguing between her and the landlord. I don't need to hear my parents arguing again. Inverse has flat out said that she won't listen to any of the landlord's suggestions and as usual she's not around for her daughter. Lost is falling way behind in school again. She had to make up kindergarten during the summer. So the plan is for them to move back to Inverse's parents so she can go back to school. There are some major holes in this plan you could drive a semi through. While I don't worry about Inverse I do worry about Lost since I see how Inverse parents raised her. However it's way beyond me. I think I'll keep the no sex policy up with her since she maybe something to look at, but everything else doesn't do it for me.

Well I thought we were going to have a big family Thanksgiving this year, but I see that's not happening. Enigma and family are going away for the holidays and with Inverse gone it'll just be the landlord and myself. I may visit friends that day also since it's my birthday, but we've done it before.

Still no word from my ex. What sucks is that the longer this goes on the higher the ticket prices go up. I'm definitely not buying anything before hand. I learned that lesson the hard way when we were married.

Pink Day

When OVDC has a cancellation she colors it pink in her appointment book. When you get a bunch of them you have a pink day. Since I just delete them from my schedule, I'm computerized, I've taken her term. It was like freaking dominoes here this morning. One after another until my whole morning was free and so was my early afternoon. Seriously WTF? It does come in waves and this has been a tsunami week or at least the last 2 days. So I'll have to pay my rent tomorrow and tell the landlord that tonight. I hate that.

One thing I truly hate are phone books. We have like 4-5 different ones here for some ungodly reason. So about every 3-4 months we get a new stack of these books. Now I know why the Amazon rain forest is disappearing. I can barely stand my copy, but since we have 3 other suites in my hallway which are empty. I get to find a stack of these mothers blocking the door. I have no where to toss these piles of crap except across the lot at the dumpster.

Kids and their perceptions. Lost likes to crawl on my shoulders when I sit down to either play with the kids or read to them. For some reason she always has to point out that I'm losing hair. I try to explain it to her, but it doesn't seem to sink in. It's not like the landlord isn't bald so I'm not quite sure what it is.

Halloween Stuff

Well it's Halloween at the old homestead and most everyone was in costume. I was tired from getting up early all week and a hike with L so I passed on my second Halloween party tonight. However most everyone was going out to a church party so I took the liberty to take pictures of everyone. Yes this first picture is of the mysterious Inverse as a vampiress.

Here's her daughter Lost as a kitty cat. She was very cute.

Here is Mouth and her brother getting ready to go out and have some fun.

I visited my Mom today and she seemed just about the same as always. She was a little less focused when her mind wasn't occupied. Since it was in the 80's here today I took her out for some fresh air while I did her nails.

While it wasn't sunny today it was nice for my weekly beach hike with L. The rain and high tide the last few days had flattened and hardened the beach for some good walking. When I got home I realized I was not getting back up to go out to a party. Especially since I had no idea who was coming so I could at least get excited to so someone. A week of getting up early from new noises in the house and the beach hike had did me in. So it's been a night of getting some housework done.

Surprise ... Surprise ... Surprise

Well look at the calender. It's Day 4 of the Inverse campaign and the landlord is already threatening to throw her out. I've looked into Inverse's eyes and I know she's not going to change anytime soon. Tonight's madness was brought to you by the letter "A" for absent mother. It may surprise you to learn that Inverse is not mother of the year material. It's the last school day of October tomorrow and as usual Lost (Inverse's daughter) is way behind in her reading since Inverse doesn't help her with her homework. So tonight was the big push to finish catching up. Mouth actually volunteered to help her and it was nice to watch the two little girls working together. Inverse had asked to use my computer to look at her Myspace page. I said sure and told her she could use it later when she was finished. However she shot right upstairs to use it leaving her daughter alone with Mouth to do homework. The landlord was upset that a 7 year old was doing Inverse's job. It went downhill from there since Inverse didn't see anything wrong. These are the times that she looses all attractiveness. When you don't care about your kid, I don't care about you either.
