August 10, 2014


● I awoke early, yet eventually realized this is my one day to sleep in. <note:  I JUST realized that I sound like an ass.  I have "slept in" for 8 weeks, only needing to get up “early” for 3 days.  I humbly beg your forgiveness).  After delightful coffee, I got busy on the La Bodega website and invited mostly Midland folks, but a few others to “like” the page.  There are so many restaurants opening up in Midland and LB doesn’t have the luxury of being a chain, so I’m going to do what I can here to help stir up some business.  I’ll talk to my bro-in-law about running specials, etc.  I also communicated with beautiful Traci, who is doing an amazing job losing weight.  This is how successful I was in following her direction:  I made it through breakfast.  Mags grilled for lunch and later we made apple-pie.  I suck.

● It was time to get to homework.  The weekend has been a busy one, an overwhelming one in many ways.  Homework had been put to the side.  On a bright side, I added another DSM diagnosis to my resume. <grin>  I think I’ve added most of these and am surprised they let me out into the public. <wicked grin>   I heard singing, that beautiful voice which is reminiscent of the story I read as a child, of Florence Nightingale singing, and a man hearing her as he passed by her home.  Camille must be Nightingale reborn. <3  I peeked out the door and she and her mother beckoned me to come over, yet I sadly declined..knowing how much I needed to do.  I was also shocked to notice Annie.  That girl is about ready to go crazy in trying to find a man-dog:  she is swollen up so bad that she’d make a baboon proud.  Holy god, someone get me the puppy pads and wrap that shit UP!!!

● I needed to go pick Ethan up from his overnight and did so. He had a great deal of fun, but…stuff was said which made him question his friendship with another boy.  I was very proud that he came home and immediately borrowed my iPhone to ask the mother about the truth.  Seems my quiet little introvert will stand up for himself after all on matters that are important to him.  I was very proud. <heart beaming>

● Little Mags-a-roni wanted to make apple pie (“Moooo-mmyyyyy…the apples will be all bad if we don’t do it now”), so I found Dr. Demento on Spotify (since the YouTube vids are blocked) and revisited Traci Lohmann’s house when I was about 9.  The neat (sad??) thing is I recalled the lyrics without issue, which  leads me to believe that those years are the times to learn the “real” things you’ll need to know throughout your life, because ya just don’t seem to forget them.  

● I noticed Camille sitting outside and walked over to spend some time with her.  It is so nice, sitting under the cotton-candy clouds as the honey sun set. It also made me grateful to have the life I have: no strained relationships, no stressing uncertainties.  I lead a simple life which I’ve created myself and I’m proud.  I rely on no other human (I get minimal child support, so though it is helpful, it isn’t a do-or-die part of my life) and hope to finish school to create an even better life for my tribe.  I feel so damn Martha Stewart when I say this (and I never watched that show, but I know this was her tag line), but it really is a good thing.
