better conversation in Second 1st

I did a bunch of things yesterday morning. Between 7 and 9 I ran to Walmart, grabbed a couple burritos and McDonald’s, grabbed a coffee at a gas station, went by Publix because something Sammy had requested was bogo, went to the shipping place and was here in time to do 9am Justin on MTurk. I was dizzy after that but it had mostly cleared when Sammy asked if I wanted to go to lunch.

I did care but I didn’t care where we ate. I just didn’t want it to be the same we always eat together. We usually get Genghis Grill. Well this time went to Burger Republic. It was a tad expensive for burgers and fries but it was good. Not good enough to pay $20 for a burger fries and a shake though. We talked....

The guy he had randomly made out with had called him the other day and that’s the last I should ever hear about him. When Sammy had asked him what he was doing he said “Oh, I just took some Ecstasy.” ..... smh However, he’s been talking to another guy :). Sammy seems impressed with new guys intellect so that’s a good start. New guy also seems to have priorities straight because he told Sammy that unless he got an A on his exam Saturday they would not be going out that night. (no worries 96%) It’s good to know that Sammy’s education is important to said new guy. We talked about Rocky’s stupidity and why I think that whole thing happened. My theory on how though they were raised by the same person they weren’t raised the same way. Most of Rocky’s childhood he had a strong willed woman who could do shit on her own, who worked and made whatever work. Sammy had someone who needed him as a crutch. Sammy can’t even fathom the freedoms he gains with being out of her home. He’s out of control (proven by making out with a random guy in a bar and not even having alcohol to blame). Rocky wants to reign him in and feels he has the obligation to his brother to get him straightened out. Truth is they aren’t siblings. Truth is they are nothing alike. This was a mistake and we just have to manage to live through it. That’s the truth. We talked about Sammy’s girlfriend Katie. They have been friends a long time but she’s seriously crazy. If she doesn’t hear from him everyday she gets angry and she will drive 4 hours to visit in order to make sure he knows. They aren’t bf gf obviously Sammy is GAY but I’ve seen them fun flirty in the kitchen and I talked to him about that. He told me that he’s told her when things make him uncomfortable and she still does it. I told him they “need to breakup” sometimes you outgrow your friends it’s just a thing that happens. I told him those people who you don’t talk to for 2 weeks that are genuinely glad to hear from you and there first questions are What have you been doing and when can we hang out next..... those are the people. Friends shouldn’t be high maintenance. Rocky said he’d is in full support of having Katie come over while he’s here and telling her she is not welcome here.

Got home from lunch at like 1:30ish. Watched some Critical Role, played games on my phone and started setting up my next Diamond painting. It was only after Rocky got home that I realized I had wanted to go to Office Depot to get a couple shipping tubes. Partially for storage and partially to restart an Etsy shop. It asked about length, width, and height of the object when packaged..... which is stupid because then you’d have to be prepared to ship something that may never sell BUT I should know for just in case and it’s a good way to store finished paintings.....so..... After that we came home and I continued to start the painting. The process of making sure the “paints” match and throwing out the one that doesn’t.... and relabeling the containers so they are easy to find while “painting” takes about 2 hours. I ran out of containers though and had to go back out :(. So we were barely on our way when Eddie called. They are going to start the attic this afternoon when Eddie gets off work and Eddie wanted to start cutting the plywood (to fit the door). Rocky said he’d be over when we got back, that I needed to go to the craft store. When we got closer Rocky said he needed to go to Harbor Freight to get a pair of bolt cutters for the fence project they are planning. He spent nearly a half hour looking at stuff. They he needed to go to a gas station for something. I told him “don’t you dare tell Eddie I spent an hour in the craft store, I know what I need and I know where to find it.”

After that I worked on the painting and watched Critical Role till about 9 then I went to bed. Rocky stayed at Eddies till I don’t know when but I don’t think they did anything with the plywood. I was asleep when Rocky got home and don’t even recall when he came in.

Today I plan on the normal… dishes, laundry, Justin’s, hopefully some Diamond painting and maybe meeting people at the gas station to sell things. It’s Tuesday so there may be a trip to look at new pallets today. Then they guys want to start the attic. I’m hopeful they don’t need me. I’ve never been in our attic (in the 2 years and 4 months we’ve lived here). I’d like to keep it that way being honest, the ladder scares me..... smh
