Todd finally made it back here on the twenty eighth. he came by to talk and was good to see him . he took me out for dinner and it was nice. sort of like going out with your brother. but hes a sweety. I will miss him when he moves permantely to kentucky.

Sitting here, watching a thunderstorm, the sky, lit up from the lighting and watching the trees bend with the wind. I have always loved storms. My grandmother, who i used to spend my weekends with when I was little, used to tell me I was strange in that way.



She had lived through a tornado when she was small and the fear had stayed with her even in her eighties storms terrified her. Her bunker, as i would teasingly call the basement, was her refuge. While She was down in the basement, where it was nice and cozy. I would be standing on the front porch under an awning watching the sky and the storm. This wasnt too long ago. As I had lived with her several years ago before she died. It's during the thunderstorms I think of her and how much I miss my granny. She had faith in me where my mother didnt.





She accepted me for the way I am and not for what I couldnt be. I remember sitting on her lap when I was small. She would sing to me an old song called "Send me the pillow that you dream on" it was an old country and western song from lord knows what era. I remember smelling the honeysuckle that she grew nearby and the garden from where we kids used to pull weeds and bring in the snap beans that we would sit on the back porch and break. Summer's were filled with cousins and aunts and uncles all over at the grandparent's. July fourth get together's at their home. laughing when the aunts and uncles would take over our volley ball games

and the time granny spiked a ball that hit my mother in the head. To where we all sat there doubled over with laughter at the sight of her face.



Somethings remain the same while time marches on... but a good thunderstorm brings it all back..:)

I live in an apartment complex. I love my apartment but hate the ones that live here except for nancy and pat. The rest of these idiots cant mind their own business. but I did sound off to the apartment managers. I will be looking for a new place they can have this dump

Since our maintaince man sucks, ive taken it upon myself to do some home improvements to my apartment. I can hear most of you thinking oh dear god in heaven, shes gonna break something or her neck lmao.. Im not the handiest with tools but cant deal with this apartment looking this way. so Im going in! lmao...

i have to admit that I sneaked a peek on you tube of Susan Boyle from the Uk. I loved both performances. I have to admit I got teary eyed at the songs she sang. As I posted to you tube my comment. She has shown the world, you cant judge a book by its cover, its whats inside the book that counts!



Way To Go Susan!



you've got fans here in the U.S.A!

yay! welcome summertime....time to kick off the winter blah peeps.. heading to the pool later to read a book. No swimsuit for me! lol

The day started out wonderful. Sometimes when I can I get up around seven in the morning. I go outside with my coke and cigarettes and watch the day start up around me. I love the way it smells living this close to the woods, and listens to the little stream that runs between my complex and the other one across the way.



The sounds of the animals foraging around for food and water, the shouts from the kids yelling that they hate going to school. The school system here has decided to have a school day on monday instead of closing. Needless to say the children are not thrilled.



Around ten thirty, my case worker Lauren comes to make the last visit to me until next week. She takes me to the library every friday so i have things to read and watch over the weekend. we had intended for her to drop me off for a few hours. but Mickey and Angel had other plans. Angel opened the screen door while i wasnt looking and her and Mickey and Miss emma made a break for it.



So I couldnt leave without Mickey being back in the house. So she went on another appointment and came back to get me around eleven. five minutes before she knocked on the door. Mickey flew up out under the brush, into the apartment and layed on the floor panting for breath, his little tongue sticking out...serves him right. lol so i went to the library and enjoyed myself and got some books and movies to watch over the weekend.



I have been invited to go to san diego to visit with some friends of mine from the other website, was nice that they asked me to come. but circumstances being what they are i declined. but was still nice to be asked.

As Angelus and I were talking about adoption, I just had to tell him the story of my younger sister, Ginger and what she pulled when we were in school. She and I attended the same elementary, junior and senior High schools. And she was always asked if she was my sister.





She had enough trouble being compared to me. so she started telling everyone that she was adopted. I had kids and teachers telling me how wonderful it was that my parents adopted her. Now in all honesty, compared to me and my twin sister Sandy, Ginger does not resemble us, she looks more like our mother. So to tell the truth, it wasnt that hard to make that assumption.



So of course, i'm denying it that she isnt adopted. I knew things were getting out of hand when the principal says that it is wonderful. I had to tell him she was not adopted. thinking the rug rat would surely be grounded. I told mom. and of course, she got out of it. Mom and Dad thought it was funny.



Ginger is the family funny person. and my daughter Jennifer has gotten that funny gene that I did'nt get. Oh i have sense of humor, but not to that point that they have.



I also told him the masturbation story that has been passed down over the years that the more you tell it over time. the funnier it gets. I guess most family history is like that. You remember the funny stuff, the bad times dont seem to be as many when you think of all the good stuff that goes on in a family. Think that is the best part of having a family. time honored traditions. Like, as boring as it sounds. you drag out the photo books and look back in time when things were slower, not as hectic as they are now. And those pictures you wish to god they hadnt took You make those faces and say oh god not those picture albums again, but if you were to admit it. you really like seeing them.

i had to laugh and cant believe i did it . but tammy had called me on the pc and she couldnt stop laughing she said i sounded like a chipmunk so as a joke i said well why dont you just hear me sing bad day by the chipmunks and see if you can tell whose who. well needless to say she did just that and she couldnt stop laughing. i swear its the microphone lol...

This weekend started out bad Friday Morning. I had several appointments that day but the first one was to our local post office and I use that term Loosely. I had mailed a package to Ozzy last Tuesday. Being that West Virginia is about a five or six hour drive from here thinking and was told he would get it in two to three days. by Friday he still hadnt got it. So i went to the post office and tried to locate it. Seems the information wasnt scanned into the computer. So they looked around and found the box.



In the dead letter bin. And have no clue how it got there. I wanted blood to be honest. but i was happy they did find it. So I called up a friend of mine who works in the fairfield branch. he came yesterday morning and promised he would send it out to him quick. quick is one thing. the postal service is another.



Then Lauren came to take me to my doctor's appointment and to the place where I get my medicine. he changed the prescription and was keen on starting it . am not sure of the side effects but will soon find out



Then topped of the day with a trip to file for social security for disability. I was there an hour

still had to talk to her this morning to finish it up over the phone. she still has to call monday again.



Spent the night at my mother's as she and my aunt went to the boat and spent the night. Amanda and Jenny was gone and mom didnt want Sandy to be totally alone in the house. I slept in my mother's bed. but also had four dogs laying either at my feet or laying up by my head and trixie loves to get under the covers and lay behind my knees.



next time i want a room of my own. lol

ever have one of those days where people just make you want to scream? today was one of those days.



enough said.

got up this morning and bound and determinded to finish carpet cleaning. Spring cleaning is almost done. the weather here is getting warmer and i am glad of it. the people who own the apartment complex are getting the pool ready should be opened by memorial day. I watered the flowers i had gotten for mothers day. Mickey is in one of his moods and wants to play tag with me. Miss Emma is watching the squirrels and Angel is snoozing as usual.



My patio table i moved back to the patio sitting under the hummingbird feeder i will fill today. I dont know who gets more of a kick out of it, me or the cats. for some reason Mickey feels he must be attached to my hip. i cannot make a move with out him following me. i go to the bathroom and he runs in there a head of me. i take a bath, he lays in front of the tub facing the door like a sphinx ready to attack.



go to social security on the 15th to file for disability. and friday go to St. Raphaels to see if i can get some help with my dental and go to middletown to have the abcessed tooth pulled. My case worker Lauren is wonderful. She took me to my doctors appointment yesterday and the doctor changed my anti depressant to another kind as i am still not sleeping. Im not sure what this medication wil do. but i have warned my friends if i start acting like a bitch to tell me and to overlook me. the medication is supposed to be a mood altering drug. so im not sure about it. It was ordered and i will take it. if its too much of a change, i will stop it immediatly. dont want to be a bitch. thats not my way.



of course i get in those moods. just like everyone else, but i always feel bad when i do. dont really like to hurt anyones feelings. packed up ozzy's video games and sent them to him. I had to rewrap the whole damn thing at the post office. i had put so much tape on it, i wanted it to be hard for him to open. but they told me i couldnt do that dammit. lol...it would have taken him till christmas to get all that tape off. but i have a few surprises inside the box. Im sure he will find it humorous. but thats what friends do. lol.. i live but to aggravate..:).

started back writing with Neil and has been an awesome experience. The stories have turned out well and couldnt be more pleased with them. Our writing styles are somewhat different. but it works for some reason. He is much better at detail than i am but am learning.



have a doctor's appointment at noon. And trying to spring clean the apartment at the same time. working with an abcessed tooth. with the jaw being swollen i look like a chipmunk. but whats weird is the tooth itself doesnt hurt.





My mom let me use her steam cleaner for the carpet but you have to fool with the thing that holds the dirty water. you have to get it on just right for it to work and i hate fooling with it. they dont want to replace this carpet until i move but the carpet is pulling away from the walls thats how old it is. I took the apartment as is and when i move they can have it back as is. the people here make me tired. they fix things but its half assed.



My mother's day was wonderful. my girls got some flowers for my garden and a huge yellow rose bush. so i spent the better part of the day planting flowers and then took nancy a few of them and dug out her flower bed and planted the flowers and added mulch. they look good.





my phone wont be turned on til the end of the week as now i have to put in an application again for lifeline. all they have to do is pull a damn switch. more red tape than anything.

Said Goodbye to my neighbor Todd who lives upstairs. Todd was always checking on us girls that live here alone in the building. He finally decided to move to his parents farm in Kentucky. I helped him pack up his apartment and move it to a storage unit here in towm. He gave me some household items and a bookcase wall unit which i am really thrilled with.



Im going to miss his smart ass remarks believe it or not. He was always cheerful and ready for a good joke. I wish him well.

woo hoo! i am back full time here at the rave. got my own signal so no more being kicked off line...
