Holy Crap

I finally got some space.
Went to work, worked my ass off. Got out of there around three thirty. My boss showed up (Just as I'd finished mopping of course, so he had to walk across the floor) as I was leaving. I bid him adieu and was walking out to my truck when I noticed my brother sitting in his truck in the parking lot waiting for me to come out.
*GROAN*. I just wanted to get in the truck, light up a cig and drive home listening to NPR. My favorite part of the day.
(I don't have a radio in the house, keep meaning to get one.)
Anyhow... brother wants to sit and chat while I stand there with my back aching. Ok, so, finally he starts to wind down and my boss steps out of the diner and comes over to me and my bro. I had told him earlier I'd come in on Thanksgiving to cook the brisket if he wanted, because I was going to be house sitting , therefore only five minutes away.
Which I now and NOT, since my sister is NOT going away. But anyway, my boss said he would like to take me up on the offer. I said I would do it.
I go in, put the briskets in the oven, cook them for four hours then turn the oven off.
I guess I'll sit there on the internet for four hours, lol, no I'll probably go over to my sister's and watch tv or whatever. I'll have four hours to kill.
Well my boss walked back to the diner and my brother left finally and I drove home, thinking I'd take my shower and get online a few minutes, get off my feet.
I get home and my landlord is there. I take a shower, and when I come out of the shower, landlord is asking if we had any paint thinner.
I'm brushing my teeth, pointing to the acetone in the laundry room. He just keeps talking. He talks about the closet he built, (In my room) the toilets he installed, he looks around.
It doesn't bother me much, I don't really care, he's harmless and a good carpenter, he's just looking around his own house. I don't care EXCEPT I want to get the fuck out of there BECAUSE that fucking idiot waitress from work has just called me and asked for a ride to the meeting.
I can't deny anyone a ride to a meeting; but I CAN give them silent , heavily sighing treatment as I drive them. She should have asked me at work. she didn't do a damn thing all day other than wait on people, and badly at that. she didn't do any side work... poor T. was running her ass off with no help doing the extra stuff.
so I gave this jackass a ride to the meeting. And lo and behold Steve was there! Yay Steve for having the balls to show up. I was so glad to see him that I almost cried.
I hope he keeps going. He's got a lot of friends that would love to see him grow and heal.
Well after the meeting my sponsor and I were supposed to meet and talk but this guy (I like him ok but.. he talks about himself relentlessly) wouldn't stop talking. My sponsor has no ability to ask people to stop talking so I just sat there and listened, too.
I was so tired by this time it was ridiculous. We finally left the meeting hall and Liz gave me some home made hot cocoa. She says she made some for me and the girls. I ain't going to share it with my roommates, NO, I won't fucking GET any.
Love my roommates but damn, they can strip a fridge. In no time flat.
GOT to get my own fridge. I mean I have one but... it's not very cold, not cold enough. It's dying. ... Like the Tv.
I've been considering getting a TV on Black Friday. but then again, I don't like doing Black Friday shopping. the crowds... they get to me.
I'm thinking maybe layaway... Kmart, a few blocks away, has layaway and a nice HDTV 19 inch Emerson HDTV for an affordable price.

I could make a pretty high payment each month and have it by the time the HD change is in effect...
Good Lord, I just wanted to come home and sit, and now I have.
