Updates in Second 1st

Again.... I never feel like there are things to talk about until they pile up.

Sammy is staying with us for week. He will be gone the 22nd. he broke up with his boyfriend and needed to be around people. He did the breaking and I’m sure for good reason but he’s not talking about it. We aren’t pressing. He will talk in time if he wants to. He warned his friends that he was turning his phone off.... ended up with 30 calls and texts from the ex + his bestie. Called the bestie and I overheard “He can’t just say things like that, that’s not something we come back from” and “Did you really think I would kill myself?”.... so he told her she could text the ex to let him know that he’s not dead. Otherwise.... Sammy brought his Nintendo Switch and we played a great game of Mario party last night. We intend on playing more today.

Mom had come by a couple weeks back.... when it was still a little warm during the day (it’s seriously cold this morning). David and Joshua went fishing and mom hung out. Basically they just looked for an excuse to head this was because mom had bought a game “from Santa” out of the pallet stuff. She’s still not mentally well. Talking about the vaccines and how they have nanites and will change your DNA.... I replied calmly with “You can’t believe everything you read on Facebook mom and that includes non reputable news sources. Hell even reputable news sources.”… So we moved on and talked about more normal applicable things. One being she misses her family. She wanted to schedule Christmas with Scott and I separately. I honestly couldn’t understand why because if she’s going to go over to Scott’s and then come here.... or vise versa, she would be exposed if either of us had it. .... I would be buying stuff to make food for far less people than it could feed.... so I convinced her to let Scott and dad come .... and we worked it out to all come for lunch the 24th. I will not be inviting Sammy and his mom and my mom is having enough trouble having us all here at once. My sister will unfortunately we left out this year because she’s not allowed to leave the care facility she’s in. Mom said they can have visitors but only if they meet outside.... masks… 6 ft apart.

I went through inventory for “the business” and took out MANY! toys and games. Rocky and I took them down to Mission BBQ to put them in a toys for tots box. Luckily we’d had a box of our own because it was already pretty full… They were so appreciative they gave us a couple free sandwiches. I swear those things have at least a pound of meat on them each. It was nice but.... well even though the kids benefit and there were some real nice toys.... I did it to have more room because those things were not selling.... a bit selfish.... whatever right? .... Yeah for donating!

I’ve been working on getting FMLA paperwork filled out for migraines. The lady who does that at Vanderbilt went me an email.... sent it in Wednesday.... so I’ll call the people who handle that here in a few hours to make sure they got it.

In the meantime at work I learned that there are 2-3 people complaining that I’m always on inspection. They just need to mind their business. It was nice to know though that at least half the crew is ticked off about it. Like mad that anyone said anything because it’s just stupid drama shit and had nothing to do with anyone but me!. .... People like me apparently :)

I just heard Sammy get up.... I’m gonna be honest I hate that he’s here. Like I can’t afford to just buy whatever to eat .... not and make a decent meal for mom the 24th. I just don’t want to dip into emergency money just because I didn’t plan to feed 3 people for a week right before having to spend money on an unplanned party. I mean when mom canceled Thanksgiving I thought she would do the same for Christmas. We haven’t had to dig into it at all yet and I don’t want to. Also though..... it’s not anyone else’s fault that we are a one income house right now and obviously if his best friend and ex bf though he was at risk of suicide I’m glad he’s here and would never let on otherwise...... BUT somehow I need to clean the house and make sure there is no indication that he was here when my mom comes the 24th.

Rocky has a sedated MRI the 23rd. I’m anxious to get that done. Pray he can “go through with it” because him not working is bull shit.

My days off are spent trying to make a few extra bucks (in my own time of course, which is why I prefer it to OT) while his is spent playing video games. .... sigh I need him to go back to work .....

Should have a couple meets today and a couple packages to get shipped out.... wanted to work on diamond painting till Rocky gets up at least.... I moved it to the dining room table till Sammy leaves.
