Productive With A Capital P

I have been terribly productive the last few days. On Friday I worked, and while I did PT got a new windshield! He has been in the garage for a few days, mostly because I have been too lazy to move him. I wanted to make sure everything dried nicely before I took him out in the rain. Yesterday I scoped out the local Flea Markets. I went to Wellfleet and got a book and a nice pair of silver drop earrings. After that I went to Dick and Ellies in Dennis. I have never been to that one but it is very nice. I got a pair of sandles that are supposed to look like Burberry. I am the knockoff queen. When I got home last night I had a migraine. My fussiness about taking pills made me go to sleep early to get rid of the pain. Mark called me this morning at 8 and woke me up. That was good tho because I had alot to do today. Since Ben broke up with me, the basement has been in a state of disrepair. I had gone into packing mode when everything went to the shitter. The stuff has sat there until today. I unpacked and repacked everything. I took all of the stuff that was his and packed it up nicely and placed it to the side. At this point it is doubtful that he will ever claim his goods, but atleast I made an effort to be a good person. In my madness I came across old year books, old love notes, and lots of old pictures. I miss my old friends. Some of these people have been gone for years. Some of them I still talk to on a weekly basis. A few of which I must take up matters with....things written in my old year books bring me to believe I used to be considered a skank. I must look into this. In the midst of my reminising I have washed my bedding. I also found some of my old clothes! I was so excited because alot of them were my old jeans. They are one or two sizes too big...but nice and broken in. I have put them thru the washer and cant wait to wear them! My next mission is to take PT out and give him a washing. Today is a day for progress. Unknown what to do tomorrow. Its nice to have the sun shining!

Its That Time Again!

I woke up this morning knowing that today would be interesting. Traffic has increased by atleast double. The tumbleweeds have ceased to tumble. It has become increasingly more difficult to find parking. I showed up at work at 7:55. I was my chipper self because my tummy is now feeling better from my episodes a few days ago. I am still in training, but quite capable of doing most things. Slowly I am starting to be left alone. As I sat in the quiet office, a very handsome young man walked into the office with the manager from next door. They proceeded to ask if a young intoxicated girl had wandered the property the night before. This young man was looking for his girlfriend. Apparently they had done heavy drinking the night before, and while he headed into town for cigarettes, she disappeared into the night around 10PM. She left behind her coat, purse, money, license, and cell phone. It was 9AM and no one had heard from her. The poor kid looked sick. He had never gone to sleep and had been out driving around all night looking for her. Everyone got more and more worried as time passed because nothing like this happens around here, and when it does it never gets solved.(Worthington) They called the hospital and all nearby police stations to see if she had been picked up. At about 10 oclock they called the local Po's to come down. As luck would have it, Truro only had one police officer on duty. Thats right folks, ONE! Because we have police scanners we could hear all conversation involved, plus we could hear out the back door. The cop called for "additional man power" to come to the scene to search the beach. That brought in another 5 people looking unqualified, but none the less were taking time out of their day for someone that could be in trouble. At this point the guy had not slept, had thrown up a bunch of times, and was crying thinking that she was dead somewhere. The girl had never been to Cape Cod and didnt know where she was. Locals aired down their tires, and an official search of the beach began. State police were called down, but were cancelled as she wandered back on her own. Apparently she had walked the beach to Ptown(about a mile atleast), and slept in the lobby of a motel. She wandered back about 1PM. I hope this little brat from New York realized what she put everyone thru. She single handedly utilized all of the local rescue resources, while making the entire neighborhood sick with worry for a person we didnt even know. Watching a young woman of my age behave in this fashion reminds me of how mature I really am. Seldom do I drink, and when I do I am responsible about it. The funny part is, my dad added to the story that he saw this girl screaming at the guy yesterday, and referred to it as Jerry Springer. Watching this guy get sick over this chick made me realize how I wasnt such a bad girlfriend after all. I hope he dumps her ass, even if just for acting like an idiot. I am sure he had a hand in the situation at some point, but it appears that she is going to be nothing but trouble. On the other hand, if he is looking for someone to hang out with, I will be in the area this summer, and would be happy to oblige;) With all of that taken care of, I also spent 3 hours trying to find a tow truck to change a flat tire, while giving directions to the nearest nude beach. Sigh....the wierdos are back again. The moral of the story...dont get lost in Truro or need medical attention. You never know who may be on duty!

Cold and Wet

Today is cold and wet. What better way to feel better than to buy boots. I know, I know, I wont wear them again until winter. I found them at TJ MAXX. They look just like Uggs, but are called Bear Paws. I got them in tan. They are so comfortable, I may just wear them around the air conditioned house all summer. I also went to Bath and Body Works and got soap with a gift certificate from XMAS. New fish arrives tomorrow. I am glad I am adopting. I like being a do gooder. I work in the morning. Tomorrow night I see Shrek 2. I have heard great reviews from the TV and from JAY. I cant wait!

Updates, Updates, Updates

I have numerous things to cover...most of which do not relate to each other...so hang in there with me.

THE RASH: Its still here, its still gross, and has been diagnosed as an allergic reaction to medication. Because I cannot take Benedryl, I am supposed to take Claritin. Yippie. I feel like an episode of the Itchy and Scratchy Show.

THE BOY: Brady has been absolutely out of hand lately. He wakes me up every single night. I cant take it anymore. I am exhausted. He has free reign of the house, but still chooses to vent his emotions to me at 3 AM. If I didnt love him so much I would ship him to his fathers for a few weeks so I could get some sleep. He is my love, but boy is he testing my nerves. I am blaming it on increasing temperatures considering we have vaccumed enough hair around this house to build me a new friend for him. Hairballs are ever present. I think my anxieties feed into him. Scram has also been visiting.

WALLYMART!: I went yesterday and got lots of nice tings! I picked up two pairs of capri pants, a tshirt, and underwear in the "skinny bitch" department as one of my friends affectionately calls it. I also got things in health and beauty care. I found a purple body pillow, which I have really been wanting for a while. I picked up two novels: THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA and SUSHI FOR BEGINNERS. Whatelse...whatelse. HMMMM. Hair stuff....I'll add later if I remember.

EDUMACATION: Such subjects continue to stress me out. I am still exploring transfer options while fighting with UMASS, BRIDGEWATER, and CCCC simultaneously. I will get joint admissions dammit! I registered for two summer classes, one online and one telecourse. I told myself after last summer I would never take summer classes again, but you all know me. With gas being over two dollars a gallon, no one can afford to commute the distance I have to for a subpar GEN ED requirement. Dreams are getting closer. Its all about phone calls and beating the system. Until then...I will pray.

EMPLOYMENT: Personal assistant to my crazed step mother, and nicotine addicted dad. Not so much...I am just kidding. The best I can describe it is as CUSTOMER SERVICE. HEHEHE. Example to follow.

NEW YORKER: May I have some more toilet paper?
JESSE: No, use some beach grass.
NEW YORKER: But?
JESSE: FUCK OFF!

LOL. I shall be responsible for fielding outgoing guests, phone reservations, and any and all crisis that I can find a solution for. It will be air conditioned, comfortable...and most of all fudge free. I start training tomorrow!

PT: My love still needs a new windshield, and an oil change. I am waiting to pay off summer and fall tuitions and books before I spend any more dough. PT may be waiting a while. Thats ok...I cant afford gas;)

MY DREAM Ok...so I was on Survivor last night. Yup. And I hooked up with the good looking guy. But he screwed me. It was the coolest dream. And the most rediculous Survivor ever. I got to visit family, and bring all sorts of stuff with me. Of course I got voted off...or something along those lines. The guy ended up being my younger than I thought, and worked at an athletic store in Orleans. I think I need heavy medication. It isnt even a full moon yet.

WEIGHT TRAINING No matter how nice I get my room looking...its never good enough. I am constantly moving furniture. It is really nice up here now. It looks like a real apartment and everything. If I move the bed one more time, I may have permanent muscle damage. This is what I call my weight training.

LANDSCAPING I have done all sorts of work around the yard. I am trying to take an interest in this stuff so that some day when I have my own home I will have a clue what I am doing. Today I planted a ton of IMPATIENS. Very nice...very pretty...and also very Jesse.

TUB A LARD: After the other nights weight loss intervention staring my family and Nutter Butters, I have had it. I ate McDonalds yesterday, and two Crispy Cremes in one day last week. Scale at the doctors said I lost one pound this week. You know what people...its not my fault. And furthermore this is perfectly convenient for summer. Now if my newly flat tummy werent covered in little red bumps...I would be ahead of the game.

Itchy

Well....two crispy cremes and four miles later I am walking like I have a stick up my bum. Thats right folks...I am all shot. To top it off...I have little bumps all over the left side of my face...and my left eye is swelling shut. Since I dont do well with Benedryl, I just have to suffer the itchies out. I have never had poison ivy...or anything like that before, so I dont know what this could be. I did eat mushrooms tonight...maybe I am allergic. Spent some time with my dads dog today...maybe it has something to do with that. I want to do another 4 miles in the morning...that is if I dont fall on my face getting out of bed from all of this stiffness. Now I must take out my contacts....and put a cold washcloth on my face. Forcast says thunderstorms...good thing I have my taplight. Brady is feeling a sense of independence so he will be no comfort as the rain falls...and the skies boom.

THE HEAT!

Its hot. Dont get me wrong....I love that summer is here...the sunlight does wonders for the mood. Things are moving progressively slower down here in sunny Truro. The sightings of out of state license plates have increased, while the chances of pulling out of my street without a fifteen minute wait have decreased. My room is a balmy 90 degrees. I have taken all possible preventative measures. These include opening of skylights(and the swelling shut of my eyes from pollen), opening windows, turning on over head fan, leaving all doors open, and taking the flannel sheets off of my bed. Puffy shall remain, because you all know I cannot sleep without my down comforter. The chances of getting the maintenance man, AKA my dad to put my air conditioner in the window are about as good as my being able to run his boat for the day so he can do it. So I sit...and I sweat. No worries. Grandma is sick...that will teach her to go to foreign countries. I on the other hand feel like I am on crack. Ah the things doctors prescribe these days. I have never been on an upper, but I wonder if this is what it is like. Apparently because I havent done drugs...well atleast in like 5 years, my body is extremely sensitive to medications. Weeeee. Anywhoo....no word from Bridgewater...those bastards. I mean really....what do I have to do to get an education. I have sent in a request to get matriculated into the psych program at CCCC. As far as I can tell I am 3 classes from an AA in Psych. Then I will try to do joint admissions....and get in without having to deal with this crap. That means another year of Suffolk. What the heck...I can do it...I am strong...but I am trying not to think about it for right now. Brady has been extra fussy...heat is hard on him. He has had lots of hairballs lately. Because of his lack of a male influence in his life, I am trying to train him in "kill tactics". Unfortunately Brady does not possess the usual cat instincts, such as: pounce, kill, destroy...etc. I have been working hard to teach him these things...which as subsequently exhausted him...he is sound asleep as I type. Ah well...another day....hope its a good one for you!

Beautiful Day

Today was a beautiful day. I started out at 8:00...big thanks to Mark for calling and waking me up! First I hit the Compass Bank near the school. I love using the tube! The first time I ever saw one was when I started working for the bank. Then I never got to use it...because I was alway in side the bank. I had to take my psych of women final...and return my tapes...rewound mind you...its courteous! 50 questions done in under 20 minutes and I was out of there. On my way home I stopped by Cape Cod Auto Mall to check out the new PT Cruiser Convertible! The one they had was silver, which was cute...but I would like to see it in red. Then I came home and cleaned the house. Vacuumed and cleaned the hepa filter...which is probably part of the reason I have a pounding sinus headache. Then I packed up all of the meat Dad brought me from Hilltop Steak House. I hate the feeling of cold wet meat, but my belly likes the feeling of warm cooked meat...so I suffer it out. On a brighter note, Mom was released from detox today. Unknown as to her whereabouts or condition. You see, this time is it Bethany's turn, unfortunately for her. This is exactly why I left home at 15. My Mom has officially traumatized each one of her children now. It makes me wonder how long she is going to let this go on before she admits she has a serious problem. At least this time she does not have as many people enabling her. It should be interesting to see how the future unfolds with her. Tonight I go and get grandma...she is coming home from Italy. This makes me happy because I will no longer have the 4 AM meows for breakfast. I cant wait to here about her trip and all of the good food she ate! Too bad she couldnt bring any back!
