Hello.
I haven't updated in a while. I guess the progress is important.
I do'nt know where I'm supposed to start this entry. I geuss from the beginning or something.
So the nineteenth of January I got paid (this is only important becuase if it hadn't happened we wouldn't have had any of the rest of the time). I took the paycheck to the bank where they informed me that something had screwed up. So I had them cash the check rather than deposit it. so I walked away with my paycheck money and decided not to touch the account for two weeks at least. Mom fixed the error on the account and I went closer to three weeks without touching the account. Then mom calls me to tell me that my account is sitting at a negative one hundred and Fifty dollars.. Excuse me? So I went to her house and she shows me the records of my account, it says that a check for 68.72 has bounced.. What the hell? I haven't written any checks in three weeks. I look at my carbon copies. sure enough there is check 1072. 68.72 to Walmart. What the hell? I don't remember writing this check. Mom askes if it is my handwriting. well, yeah. But I don't understand. I sit there and think about it for about ten minutes getting more and more upset about the whole ordeal and it turns out it is mom's fault. She had gotten my christmas present, but she was working at the time and so she just send me to go get it and was going to transfer the funds back into the account, and didn't. Ok that's fine now, it was her fault not mine, but that won't charge me to one fifty. The other thing, it's for $90.41. plus nsf. Holy Shit. That's the paycheck I didn't deposit. Well to cash a check at the lovely Callaway bank you have to have an account with them. So when they cashed the check they technically deposited it and imediately withdrew it all. but that wasn't the issue, the deposit never showed up on the account, the issue is that it was over two weeks later when it showed up as a NSF charge. So mom and go and pay a visit to the bank who informs us that it bounced on the companies end. aw, MoreSource fucked me out of ninety dollars. Mom went ballistic. It was far easier than all of what she was freaking out for. We just called MoreSource and they explained it sent us a check for the money and the NSF. That was the huge issue part. he day we did all this we had dinner together amd my mother askes me what she has told me about her going to Montana. "You're going to take Grandma's ashes home, David (mom's boyfriend) is going with you." Well evidently her kettle has a crack in it and she just sort of leaked and forgot to tell me that she's going to take the ashes back but that she might not come back. Excuse? They have a job they are getting set up in Montana near where grandma used to live. If he gets it they aren't coming back. They leave in four days from when she tells me this. Just drops it casually in conversation. She has dad coming up soon to tell him about it. Bradley already knew. She's going to make him choose who he is going to live with. Because my fifteen year old brother who still hasn't dealt with the fact that his parents aren't together is going to be able to handle this. Rather than sounding concerned about any of those things about her family she is just giddy. She is so wrapped up in her own little romance world.
For a while after this, About three hours, I was really really confused. I got this huge headache and just sort of sat around on the computer and did laundry. Then I realized, I was most definitely -not- ok, or even confused anymore. But my head still hurt. So now I was sitting on the computer and doing laundry in tears. i got no sleep that night, nor did I get any sleep the night after. Then I realized that even if I was so concerned I was sick and I was definitely not a positively concerned even if I told her she would do the same thing and not care. So I just sort of stopped caring. or I geuss it's more like I ignored the caring. I'm still very upset, but seventy two hours is too long for me to have the same headache and not get any sleep. So I geuss I'm apathetic now. I'm sure that isn't healthy on any level but it happens.
Dad has a girlfriend now too. Her name is Pam something. She is the Head of the "step" something or another at the University Hospital, technically I think it's just the ICU between emergency and regular section in the hospital. It made dad really happy. He was telling me about them meeting. She's smart and has his sense of humor and likes dogs and not cats. he says he was "taken" with her when they first met and that that hasn't happend in a long time. he says she is pretty too, I'm sure that is pretty in the seventies throw back sense but he's the one dating her not me. I was really glad for mom when she got her boyfriend, he's nice, and he fits her prefectly. And I'm equally glad for dad, except now I'm a baited glad, becuase even though I know dad is nothing like mom I'm still waiting for him to gallavant off with this lady. I did get to laugh at him though, he wasn't sure how to bring it up in conversation. He was more awkward than most thirteen year olds. "so, I'm not going to bring home every girl i think is pretty off the street, but if I'm dating someone..." "yes dad, you can bring a girl home" "... And feed her breakfast?" "Yes dad". At least he's honest? Whatever. Laurel and Jay's response was something like:
"Dawn, your whole life just flipped over and did a little jig on your soul."
yeah. It's something like that.
