Friday Night @ MindSay

Fuzzy was moved into a room late yesterday.They are monitoring his heart and his kidneys,slowly taking him off oxygen.He is still having diaherria  though. they cant get that under control.Peggy was very tired this morning when I talked with her. She looked it yesterday,but today you hear it in her voice. She has today covered.Hopefully she can get some sleep while her mom takes dialysis, as her aunt will pick her mom up afterwards.Peggy plans to go home and try to sleep a bit. She needs to. I'm concerned about her. She is gonna collaspe if she doesn't rest soon...She will probably get me to help her tomorrow...
James and I went yard sale-ing  this morning. it gives us something to do and we never spend much. Maybe a few dollars. Its our Saturday morning routine! We found Morgan a drum set for xbox today! called and woke him up to ask if he wanted them...just $7.00!!! They put everything at half price after 11 am! They are gonna have a great yard sale by doing this and they were cheap anyway! Orginally the drums were $15.00!  Came with the rock revolution game. I just hope they work! She said they did and they seem to be in great shape! Wont know til Morgan uses them!
Last weekend we went to Hillsville to the huge flea market there. I didnt think it was as crowded as in years past. Because of the recession many didn't travel for it. Even the vendors were down.We still enjoyed it, just getting away for a day was good! Got to see Morgan too, as he popped home for the weekend cause he bought a drum set and had to pick up his glasses that came in.It was hot though last weekend! I was ready to quit at 2, but James insisted we rest a bit then plow on some more! I was wore out! we got there at 9 that morning, and we finally quit about 4:30...still about 3-4 hours left that next day to cover it all. We got to our room about 5 and collasped. I got a shower and saw that I was sunburned! ouch! I put sunscreen on! anyway, we walked over to Sagebrush to eat. we were too beat to drive anywhere. waited an hour to sit, then waited 30 mintues for our food.... Finished at 8 then went back to room and fell into bed! we were asleep by 10! whew! Up at 7 next day and started again! we finished about 10:30...I will never do that again! I cant take the heat anymore. I feel like i'm gonna pass out in it. today while yard sale-ing I felt like it again. I get really weak all of a sudden and feel shaky, and cant get a good breath... I dont know what it is...but it bothers me. Since I turned 46 this year, I feel like my body is deserting me... Perimenopause... Hot flashes, cold,chills, now this with the heat. I get too hot now...Maybe I should get checked out by the doctor. Mood swings too! I can bite someones head off if they cross me at the wrong time of the month now!!!I cant help it either. Family will just have to deal with it!! looks like I've got a ways to go before I'm out. Most of my friends tell me it ends about the time you turn 50ish!! So I'm looking at 4 more years of this!??? Ouch!!!
We went to the West game last night..It was really wierd with Ariana not cheering... Still saw a lot of parents there whose kids graduated with Ariana. Even saw some there home for the weekend from college. Just as 4th quarter started,it starts raining...I look at James and start laughing...we wait a bit, and it starts getting harder, so pack up and leave. passed several others and we said"No need to get wet this year! Not sitting in any rain!" everyone laughed. last year see, it practically rained every football game! and we had to stay then! With Ariana cheering and James head of concessions, there was no leaving. Sat under an umbrella most of the season and learned to deal with getting wet! So, last night was fun to get up and leave with everyone else!! We sat in car and listened to the rest of the game...West won, 28-21...Its a wonder though as many passes as they threw and missed,dropped or whatever...They lost over half the team as most were Sr.'s. last years team was great..
Of course all the parents still there saw James and tried to get him back,or tell him they miss him doing concessions! Some even told him that it went downhill a bit! Oh well! It's time for other parents to step up to the plate and do it!! The new couple that took over the concessions said they didnt really know just how much work it took to keep it up! Ha! We told em!!its like having a second job with no pay! and then no other parents want to help.."Oh I have to see my child play!" what's one night??? oh well, not our concern anymore! we will go to most of the home games I guess. I especially want to see Homecoming... the athletic director gave James a pass for this year, for all the years he put in as head of concessions. Old saying goes, no one appreciates you until you aren't there!
Wow! 2 days at once on here1 I'm on a roll!!

So my friend Kayli, she's supposed to be like, my best friend, but she's just such hard work to keep happy!

We've been good mates for about 4 years now, and always had our ups and downs, there just always seems to be something going off where we've annoyed one another.

 

So here's what happened this time.

I asked her a few days ago if she wanted to go out clubbing on the friday just gone. She sais yeah and that a few others were coming aswell. Later that week I find out thats the friday my friend Jamie is having his birthday night out, so as its his birthday I told Kayli that I couldn't make it on friday and I was sorry, but it was my friend's 20th and she was already going out with enough other people so I figured she'd be ok.

 

Then, it gets to friday morning, and Jamie hets in touch saying that in the end only about 3 people were coming out for his birthday so the night out had got cancelled. This then means I'm free to go out with Kayli, so I send her a text saying "Hi, night out got cancelled so I'm free to come out with you lot again now! woo!". Now in any normal person's books, I would think this would be ok, considering seeing as the reason I cancelled on her was as it was Jamie's 20th. I mean, i can't just miss out on a birthday for just any other night out can I? Birthdays only come once a year for christ's sake.

 

But apparently this isn't good enough for Kayli. I don't know what I was thinking expecting she'd just be normal about this. Nothing's ever normal and simple with Kayli, oh no, everything's always got a negative undertone, so when she text back sarcastically, saying "nice to know we're your backup plan", I was torn between thinking "not again", and "ah she'll get over it". I was probably naive to think that taking the latter thought into consideration would make things better. But anyway, thinking I could shrug it off, I then text back saying "haha, ah well at least you're not my fifth choice! :)". But apparently humor still isn't good enough for Kayli.

 

"That's supposed to make us feel better is it?" she replies. Well, now there's just no point trying to keep any peace. The thing about Kayli is she's stubborn as hell. So my reply to her was simply this: "If you're genuinely going to get annoyed over this, I'm not coming out with you. Especially considering how many times you've left us to see adam".

 

Adam is Kayli's boyfriend. They've been together about 6 months, yet seem to break up about once a month and must argue at least three times a week. Yet she continues to run back to him, and apparently anything she plans with me is never as important as plans with adam. There have been two incidents that have got to me the most recently:

 

Offence number 1: The day before valentines day. Now don't get me wrong, I completely understand that you want to spend Valentines day with your other half. So yno, I shouldn't have been so surprised to hear that she was going away with him this night to wake up with him valentines day morning. All I'm saying is, if you're going to go away don't: make plans with me, have me waiting around all day unable to get in touch with you, and then let me know five minutes before we're supposed to go out that you can't make it!

 

Offence number 2: We were supposed to be going to the cinema. The film was due to start at 8pm, so we would've set off at about half 7. Got to about 25 past and I tried calling her, a few times, and I text her, but there was no answer. It got to like, quarter to 8 and I was really annoyed, so just decided to go out with some other friends. She then text me on my way out to say she was sorry and that she'd been arguing with the boyfriend so didn't see what time it was. Basically not even thet fact that I'd been texting and calling reminded her that she was supposed to be coming out with me, and yet again, i'd wasted my time sitting around waiting for her.

 

So, back to the original rant. She texts me to say that when she's been with adam instead it's always been genuine situations, and I then proceeded to remind her of the above two cases. Again she had some excuse to throw back at me. I told her all I would've liked was some form of notice, which meant I wouldn't have had to sit around wasting my day.

 

Anyway this argument didn't last much longer. I told you Kayli was stubborn, and there was no winning with her. In the end I just told her I couldn't be bothered with her anymore, and I got no reply.

 

It's such hard work being her friend.
I honestly don't think I'll miss her when I go away to uni, or make much attempt to stay in touch.

 

Do you think that's a good idea? I dunno.
I just feel like being her friend has been a complete waste of time.

Well, I rang all five days this week.  Four days at Walmart, one at Kmart.  I managed to bring in at least $500 for the Salvation Army.   I don't have enough to tithe to my church, but hopefully, this made up for it.

 

Not a whole lot has been happening.  I ring 9 to 11 then 3 to 5.  That way I don't get bored, and I can go home and eat, and take a nap.   It is a good part-time obligation, and Lord knows it is all volunteer, but I get a really good feeling inside.

 

I am going to wait to apply to schools after the third.  If they fill before that, that's okay.  I can pay all of my bills, and have enough for gas, and a little bit of food.  I will plan on substitute teaching next semester, after bell ringing season.

 

Not a whole lot has been happening.  Every sixty seconds or so the virus interrupts, so this willl be short.  Tata for now, Dougie Fresh

Well, it was a nice day today.  It was about 79 or 80 degrees today, really nice.  I don' t have my air conditioner on today.

 

Well, I have decided to move to Columbia this fall.  It will take me a year or two to become a full-time teacher.  It will just be a matter of time.

 

I slept all afternoon, getting up at five.  I have been a lazy bum lately, but someone has to do it.  I should have went out walking today, but I didn't.

 

Tata for now.  Dougie Fresh

There is nothing particularly freaky about this Friday, I just thought that it would look good as a title.

 

Well, I slept too much today.  I saw Obama on the View today.   He was okay.  My brother said his pastor cost him a lot of white votes that will go to Hillary or McCain.  He seems to be backpedalling good enough.  I would hate for someone to examine everything I ever did in life.  I couldn't get a job as a ditch digger if they did.  I haven't done anything illegal, but immoral, maybe.  At least all of the women I was immoral with were single or divorced.  There's pictures of me naked over at Denise's, but she had a second floor apartment, so what the hell.

 

I went over to my brother's to talk to him.  He was working on his son's modified with him.  He asked if I would drop Charla off at the dance and pick her up.  I thought I was to pick her up at 9:30, when I got a call at 8:45 from Darryl saying she was waiting inside the front door I scurried over to there, and brought her over to his house, where I am blogging from.  Gary invited me down to the lake, so when Darryl gets home from the races, I will go down to the lake.  It is only another 20 miles down to the lake, since Darryl is 10 miles outside of Sedalia.

 

Well, the 3X shirts I've worn for about five or six years are getting to be a little snug.  I should really get into an exercise program.  I plan on walking six miles a day next week when it isn't raining.  It should be in the 50s every day.  They say if you walk 12 miles a week, you should have dramatic weight loss.  Of course, I've never seen a fat postman in my life, with the exception of Newman on Seinfeld, and he was a fictional creation.

 

Well, Kansas has put in their cheerleaders, so they will win by about 15.  Memphis is up by 14 on Michigan State.  I cheer for Kansas even though most people in this state cheer for MU.  There are division I schools in Springfield, Cape Girardeau, and in St. Louis and Kansas City, but every kid given his chance who wants to stay in state will want to play for Mizzou.  I didn't go to Mizzou, instead to CMSU, or now UCM, the C standing for Central.  A lot of my friends have done okay for themselves with their college degree, but it would mean having to move for a job, which I might have to do.  Of course, if I could make over $30,000 teaching, I would do it.

 

I talked to my nephew in Darryl's garage about wanting my record collection.  He said yes.  I know if I gave them to Caron and little Willie, they would put it in the next garage sale.  I know, because I gave Brandon a bunch of good cards in pouches, and he still has them, and I gave Willie a bunch of commons and boxed sets, and they put them in a garage sale, and got 10 cents on the dollar for them.

 

Like I said earlier, I will buy a cheap trailer here in Sedalia, and furnish it.  I will put all of my stuff in it, and I will take a radio and clothes down to a sleeping room, if I would have to move.  I will get a good job even if I have to move.  I didn' t even fill out applications last year.

 

I can't wait until I get my $600 check from the George Bush re-election fund.  My windows fog up from my leaking heater core, and it will cost at least $500 to get it fixed.  Of course, I have all of my work done from the guy who also inspects my car, so I am hedging my bets.  Also, my passenger side windshield wiper fell off, so I have to get another pair on Thursday.

 

Well, if anyone has any recommendation on DVDs to rent, tell me.  I might not be able to buy any this month, because I spent her share of the heat bill on spending cash on the 20th.  I will pay all of my bills, and only have about a hundred dollars left.  But, you do what you have to do.
