I gotta wear shades!

So life has been interesting to say the least. In addition to the aforementioned chaos, Psycho-Momia has reconnected with an old, as she puts it, “Um,friend”. I get the feeling that if they were not both obstinate, Psycho-Momia and I would’ve never had a chance even to meet. For that reason, I’m glad they are both bull headed!

Anyway, this reconnection has Psycho-Momia glowing like an out of control nuclear reactor. I’m all a-frubble about this.

One great thing is that Um,Friend and I seem to think quite a bit alike. We are both devious, deviant, and love to tease her. If only she knew….

The mood of things around here is quite up and optimistic. It seems as though things are shaking out in a way that is better than can be beleived. Our New Tenant will be coming for the beginning of September, and we are looking forward to that. (Hiya, Summerhawk!)
I’m in the homestretch of my notice at the un-named soon to be former employer. I’ve been granted seasonal status – which means I’ll have to go back and work there a few days every couple of months, which I can handle. The “fruity” company job, I’m 90% sure is in the bag. They requested a background check on me, which generally means they are serious about wanting me to work there. This job will bring the steady cash that is needed, while giving me much more freedom to be with the Family and develop my own business from home. Look for an announcement about that here soon.

The future’s so bright, I gotta wear shades!

Frustration – it’s making me wait.

What a day.

Damned near everything that could go wrong – did. I managed to break my freaking toe. Almost 40 years without a single broken bone – some minor fractures, but never a break. And I have to go and break my friggin’ little toe… couldn’t have been a big toe, or anything.

Humiliation is real.

Here’s the scene: I finally get the kids to agree on lunch, and get them settled down and eating. I bop over into Middleearth (our undefinable room), and check my mail to see if the unnamed potential employer has gotten back to me. I sit down, and the shrieking begins. I jump up, and head for the kitchen to find the cause. CRACK!!!! I wrap my foot around the leg of the coffee table – pain, and lots of it. I guess I knew right away that something broke, but I’m stubborn, and had to deal with the chillins. I hobbled out to the other room, swearing my bloody fool head off in my made up language. When you work retail as long as I have, you find ways to blow off steam without using identifible cuss words. Proves to be handy with kids as well.

Anyway, to go on with the story, I wait until the pain subsides to a dull roar, and go about the business of the day. They finish eating, I get them dressed, and hobble out the door to run the days errands. We get back home, grab the mail, and try unsuccessfully to get the wee ones to nap. A frustrating hour later, I finally get a chance to check out my foot.

Hmmm… a dime sized dark purple bruise right between my 4th and 5th toe. I take some arnica, and a couple of non asprin pain relievers (why give them a google hit?). Checking my email – nope, nothing yet. They had said they wanted to interview on Thursday! It’s Wedensday afternoon…and no time has been set?

Grrr…

After that, I had to deal with several mistaken bills – unpaid excise tax? We paid that, I know it! Frickin Verizon, and their fucked up billing department…can’t even get into that.

Time passes, Psycho-Momia comes home, shares some good news (old friend reconnection), and looks at my foot. “you should go to the hospital” “Naw, I’m fine…” 2 hours later, and I was in agreement. Once I didn’t *have* to ignore it, it got progressively worse.

The xrays show it is broked.
Oh well.

(now a couple of hours later…)
I finally got them! I interview tonight.
Time to prepare.
