Tuesdays are lame, ya know it? I came in today with a super awesome cup of coffee that I squirted way too many assorted flavor shots into, and sat down at my desk to look at today's schedule on my handy dandy calendar that keeps me where I'm supposed to be....and woe is me, waaaaah waaaaah.....blank.
I'm sure by now y'all know that a blank calendar day means I'm gonna write something for your reading pleasure...yep. And today, I'm gonna switch gears. I'm gonna tell you all about the positive things that I have going for me right now, just to keep the pace with my current anti-negativity for president campaign.
Thursday, I sent out quite a few apologies to people that I care about for things that I may have done or haven't done when I should've. I got very warm and welcoming responses from everyone and I feel like I'm back on good terms with everyone again. That in itself took a great deal of stress and negativity off my shoulders, and very well may have been the best idea I've had this year. :)
Friday night, a slew of us went up to the old football field in Eminence to watch Wyatt play in his first high school game. It always makes me nervous when it's his first year and he's the little guy again. His first game of peewee scared me, his first game of middle school scared me...by no means is he a "little guy" this year...but even still, I was nervous for him. Lucky for my nerves, he did super awesome! He played quite a bit, and I got to hear "sacked by #58, Wyatt Owens" over the load speaker. That's probably my most favorite thing ever, hearing those speakers call his name! Warriors won 56-20...I scored a picture with my boy and I tore outta there happy as hell.
Saturday, I slept in and then went to meet Christopher for lunch. I came home and took a nap until he got home from work, then we met up with Jdale and Hdawg and took our happy asses to the swimmin' hole. That was super time until the river monster nibbled at my leg and almost threw me into cardiac arrest. After that, we went to Coley & Ricky's house for dinner. Steaks & taters always make my belly happy. It was very nice to spend time with my Coley. I love her and I have missed her face. :)
Sunday, I woke up and my whole house wasn't upside down...just the bedroom. I started laundry, and then mowed the yard. This time, the lawn mower didn't break and I successfully completed the whole yard! Then we went to my Nana's house for Obie's birthday dinner...and let me tell ya! We are just one big batch of crazies. I'm not sure what had us going more, Obie's description of his hemorrhoid, or Aunt Brenda's story about the headboard! And plus, there were fives cakes...and who doesn't love cake? :)
According to everyone that I've spoke too, "The Saga Of Tesla Nicole" has a new chapter that we will label "Drug Court Program". It's gonna be hard for her to handle, mind you. They require a lot out of people, but everything they require will do her nothing but good. It's another golden opportunity for her to get her life straight, and I hope like hell she takes it and runs with it this time. Fingers crossed that she gets accepted soon so she can come home.
On a negative note, we had a sneaky creeper at the house yesterday. Not sure what their intentions were...but they definitely opened all of our doors and let my Diesel Ray out. On a positive note, someone we knew drove by and noticed that something wasn't right, so we knew almost immediately. I'm not and will never be prepared to loose my best friend, that dog has been by my side for almost 12 years. Knowing that he was as close to that busy road as he was and would have been loose for almost 8 hours by himself just honestly gives me the shits. But thankfully, everything was fine. Diesel was fine, the house was still intact, and nothing is missing that we've noticed. Gonna look at the good instead of the bad here too.
Yesterday we stopped and helped a guy that had run out of gas on the side of the road. Picked him up, took him to get our gas can, donated $10 worth of gas, and 3/4 of a quart of oil. Poor guy had been on the side of the road for 2 hours and his phone was almost dead. Chalk up another good deed from the creatures of Booker Pike. Good karma, here we come!
A lady that I work with came up to me yesterday telling me about how she had a storage war of her own going down in Mt. Washington, then she says to me: "....but my homeowner's is going to cover it." Whoa...stop the presses! Guess who is a homeowner and has homeowner's insurance that covers personal property? This girl! So, I contacted my insurance and filed a claim. The adjuster is supposed to be calling me either today or tomorrow to let me know if my insurance covered things stored off-site, and if so for how much. What I'm hoping will happen here is that my insurance won't pay it, and will instead of go after Storage Gary's insurance because he is, after all, liable. If this works out in my favor it will take me out of the battle. And I'm tired of this battling, so again - fingers crossed for a positive outcome!
