2018 update 1 in other first

So what’s new? It has been 3 months since my last entry so I guess something has happened.....I’ll just babble. Things to talk about in no order of importance.
chair
Marco Polo
bills
Medical stuff
NAILS
moms boyfriend
Kerri....
planned vacation-Destiny-Gabby

Don’t even know where to start. I guess with current distractions. Marco Polo is an app that works like a video walkie talkie. It’s great for Krystal and I who want to talk me and want “face time” but can’t ever seem to find the time to meet up. So we get to watch all the facial movements/ reactions and you can video whatever so if I want to show her something ..... it seems to work great for us. We are both very low maintenance friends and even if we didn’t talk for a month I would still call her my friend but it’s nice to actually talk to her.

Destiny my bestie got me to add the app to my phone and we talk way less on it than Krystal and I do. I honestly wish I had more on there to talk to mostly because it has that text feel.... if I don’t feel like answering now I won’t I can do it later when I feel more like being social.....

Destiny is my best friend, we have been friends since we were like 11. There have been times in which we were not speaking. She lived with me here in TN for about a year and when she moved back to MI we were not on excellent terms. Things blew over and she found me again as she refuses to let me escape lol. We currently make plans to hang out during the 4th of July shutdown at work every year. I’ve been driving up there but she thinks this year they will come down. This has me a tad worried.
I don’t know if we will even get a shutdown this year because Nissan is trying to sell the battery plant. The current date for the sale in April first. Nissan has to wait for the okay from a governmental department to move forward..... so we will see. That being said she is doing very well. She has 3 children, only one lives with her. At a point in her life her mental health was horrible and it was best that her children were not with her. Her youngest daughter was not born yet and she sought out safe loving homes for her other children. Her oldest is with her mother and she sees him all the time. There is never a time in which she is told she cannot see him that isn’t normal (piano practice is normal.... because I said so is not). Her middle child is a whole different problem. The female (in loose terms) that she homed her daughter with claimed to be her friend but Destiny has not seen her daughter in some 5 years. Honestly, no fault of her own other than being too poor to afford a lawyer. That is changing! With severely increased education on her mental health, improvement in financial stability, and a super loving a supportive romantic partner she is on finally on field from which plans can take flight. Gabby (the child) has actually done a bit to help that. Giving Destiny hope! Gabby has contacted Destiny through apps and phone numbers her guardians thought she had lost. .... they always find out, they always “ban” that app but it’s enough. Enough to fuel the fires this time I think, I hope.

My mother brought her boyfriend to meet me last week. They’ve been seeing each other over a year now. I know that they spend a good bit of time together and that Joshua loves him which honestly is the most important. He’s super sweet to a point that if I were to be around him a lot I couldn’t stand him. He wanted to open doors and close car doors and..... I just couldn’t handle it..... but why not?..... Well, I don’t want a guy who puts himself below me I want a equal, yes someone maybe better than Rocky on that but for sure not someone who thinks I shouldn’t open my own doors.... just maybe not buy my own drinks. Mom likes it though so.... that counts .... so I like him for mom. A tad irritating to be around but he’s nice. Mom and Dad have been apart some 7-8 years now. Again the cost of getting a divorce is out of her range being a single mother to Joshua. There is always something more important to be handled but she’s working on it. Currently neither have gotten a lawyer involved and I hope they don’t

I would have invited “Mr. David” to Thanksgiving and Christmas had that already been finished. Which brings me to the chair. Mom and Dad saw fit that with us buying a house (Nov 2016) that we have my grandmothers dinning room set. The set is at least 100 years old and after treating the wood and cleaning it up is as gorgeous and useful as ever. I served both Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner on it… I had re wicked the chairs… each taking like 6 hours to do and only last week did the first one break. It was Rocky’s fault but I did not get angry with him. The cat has made it a habit to lay on one of the chair we now keep on the back side of the table pushed up to the wall and Rocky had put his knee on a chair between him and the cat in order to pet the cat. We both heard the lattice of the wick break. I just told him to put it in another room. I’m going to have to find some alternative to fixing it. I’m not doing that work again.

So what’s left. Bills, medical stuff, Nails, Kerri..... but this is enough for this one and I need a break.

Rocky has changed hour at work from 10pm -7am to 2pm-11pm..... for us it hasn’t made much of a difference. Today is some kinda screw Rocky day cause the poor guy got scheduled 10am-7pm. He just got up and is in the shower and coffee just finished so he can have a cup or 2 before he heads out. I’ll chill with him till he leaves, get a shower and start the next entry.
