much better

I don’t feel like everything is falling away from me anymore.
Dave did laundry and cleaned up the apt and stuff, and we made up.
I think part of when I feel scared and stuff is on some level I still expect something really painful to happen whenever I screw up. I mean, I still freak out when I spill something on the carpet, and dave is like “why are you sorry? its an accident” and I’m like “I’m sorry!” at least ten times.
also, my parents left me 23 messages last tuesday and they were mad and stuff. because I claimed myself on my tax return, they can’t get 300 bucks for claiming me, and I get kicked off their insurance in july. oh no, its nto like I finally have a job with insurance benefits or something. and they were pissed because they wanted me to come down to Houston for my dental stuff (I have to go to a houston area dentist under their insurance policy) and I don’t want to be trapped with them for a day, 300 (close enough) miles away from Dave.
- that was seriously what they called me about and left TWENTY THREE messages on my phone about. They called to yell at me for not wanting to fly down to houston for one day and fly back up here all in one day for something I can take care of in june
- remind me how stupid I am because I claimed myself on my tax return
- remind me how stupid I am because I lose my insurance from my parents in july
ALSO we had already talked about this three times over the past week, and I had told them the same things.
- “I don’t want to go to houston”
- “I don’t live with you anymore so its ILLEGAL”
- “I have my own insurance policy kicking in in june”
SO in conclusion I had a super shitty whole week with an especially shitty saturday and sunday and also my hormones were making my hyper depressed. that happens for like five days before stuff. I can go into detail, but you didn’t ask. (don’t ask me questions you know really want to know the answer to, because I answer them, unless you’re a douche)
I feel a lot better today. Dave and I had lunch with some buds on dave’s lunch break, and I took a look at an apt. it looks nice, its smaller than where we live now, but its hella cheap. Also I didn’t make an appointment to view them, I just stopped in and the management was very nice.
We’d probably have to get rid of some furniture (*cough*quintuple-used-sofa-and-chair*cough*) but the storage space is MUCH improved, the kitchen is smaller but there is, in point of fact, a PANTRY. there are no pantries where we live now, we have to put stuff in our cabinets. I despise that.
also there are hardwood floors in the kitchen, living/dinning area and hall. I honestly could care less if they were cement floors, as long as it isn’t CARPET. I Hate carpet, with that capital “h” (how the hell do you onomatopoeia “h” eich haych heitch aytch? um anyways)
so today has been very productive today. I ment to go check out more apartments and stuff, but I have not yet. Mostly because the two places dave mentioned he told me “that place by applebees” and “the one nick’s moving to” so I am guessing on the first one, and the second one I have no idea.
I’m gonna do stuff now.
going crazy
Leave a Comment
I feel like now that I finally have a real job everything is falling apart. I don’t know, maybe my hormones are making me crazy.
Dave doesn’t listen to me any more, it hurts and makes me sad. I’ve been asking him for two weeks to do laundry, and he didn’t even fold his clothes that I washed two weeks ago until last night, because I told him I asked him two weeks ago to get this done.
and something stupid, I forgot to get gas on my way home, and I asked dave if I could use his car, since he has 3/4 a tank and I had 1/8. and he said “sure baby, you can use my car” and then when we were getting ready for bed I asked for his keys, so he wouldn’t accidentally leave me with no keys and he said “why can’t you buy gas” so now I’m going to be late for work, because also I have to get a package from the front office and this clock on the computer is 5minutes slow, so its really 1027 not 1022 and it takes fifteen minutes to get to the highway from here.
I don’t know, maybe its just my hormones, but I feel like everything is falling apart today. Maybe it will be better tomorrow.
Eh.

Life has been weird this past week. My friend from Houston, Adam, came up to visit and it was awesome. He was driving a GT convertible and we got to ride in it, and I even helped him pick out some locations to film it at (he is a journalist, I don’t think he has a blog or I would link it). We shot the shit and had some Slurpees and generally a good time was had by all. But on Saturday Dave got the news that his aunt had passed away and we are going to her memorial service on Thursday. We still gamed on Sunday night, and it was a pretty good session (we play DnD). Yesterday we went back down to Richardson so I could hang out with Almeda, Jenny, and Chelsea, for a “girl’s night out” sort of thing. But Kim and Byron were at the sauce. I managed to miss hanging out with them and drinking the beers and I was actually in town. Irritating! Oh well, we can hang out with them some other time. I was disappointed though because I like The Flying Saucer’s beer, they have tons! But when we finished up hanging out and I called Dave they were getting their tab. Lame. Anyways, we hung out some more over at Jerry’s place, and they watched the swearing episode of Penn & Teller’s Bullshit. It is a pretty funny episode, I do like the show, but we don’t actually have a copy of any of the seasons. Some of the episodes rile up the blood though, so usually we don’t watch those twice.
And way back on Tuesday we got Franklin some worm medication, because there were eggs in his stool. The stuff smells like fish so it is easy to medicate, but it kind of made him a little unhappy. I think it made him nauseous or something, since the effects of over-dosage are vomiting and muscle seizures. But he was fine a few hours later. Anyways, we finally got our supplement in so I can give him a raw foods diet. It is much cheaper on us and better for him than dry or canned food. There was no trying to convince him to eat his chicken! As soon as I set his bowl down he started eating it all up!
Well, it is pretty late, Dave and I had a really weird night and morning and such. We slept until 3 today, about twelve hours total. And I feel so bleh, because I got way too much sleep. I always feel crappy if I sleep too much. It doesn’t seem to affect Dave though. I might have a blog tomorrow, but we are going to be gone from Thursday to Monday I believe.
We are back!

Dave and I are finally back home from our visit to our families. We stayed with Dave’s dad for a few days, and got to see Dave’s aunt who is in chemo for liver and colon cancer. She looked like she was doing well when we saw her. After visiting with Dave’s aunt we got to go see April, since Dave’s aunt lives in the north west side of Houston. I had fun hanging out with April, she even treated me, Dave, and Ben to dinner! She got me chocolates and candy and some spiffy stuff! I was pretty excited. Dave and Ben ate all the chocolates that I liked though, I only have the gross coconut and toffee chocolates left 
I wish I coulda spent more time with my buds and stuff, but none of them except April were free. Susan pissed me off pretty bad, because I told her on Saturday that I’d be in Houston on Wednesday, Thursday, and maybe Friday night. And she never got ahold of me, I had to get ahold of her, and she was too busy with her other friends to come hang out and say “happy birthday”. And Friday it was her friend’s birthday so she was busy all night. Well fuck you too, I thought we were friends too. I had a goddamn birthday on Monday and you didn’t even send me a crappy e-card, but you spend all day with this other person on her birthday.
I am fucking tired of everyone ignoring! It really pisses me off! I’m not upset at Otis, because I know she has a full-time job and that was really short notice for her. But Susan and Leslie don’t work, or go to school, or anything! You’d think that people that are my friends could take the time out to at least stop by for five minutes and say hello when I’m in town! It is not like I live there anymore, I live five hours away!
Had to get that out of my system, sorry for the interruption.
That was Monday and on Tuesday we sealed Dave’s dad’s new fence for some monies and then chilled. It was actually pretty fun. I hadn’t done hard work in a long time and it felt good to break a sweat. That was about all we did on Tuesday I think.
Wednesday we woke up fairly early and drove up to visit my parents. They had just gotten back from a cruise in Alaska and had gotten me an’ Dave some souvenirs. They also got us a little bit of smoked salmon. We haven’t tried it yet, but I am excited. I love smoked salmon! They gave me my birthday gift also, a sappy card and some monies. And they had also bought me Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Red Rescue Team. The difference between it and the blue version is that it is on the GameBoy Advanced instead of the DS. But I think I like this version better so far. The controls on the DS version are a little weird and irritating. Anyways, they took us out to a movie and to eat, and I got to go to the dentist. My tooth started hurting like hell when I drank cold stuff on Saturday, totally out of the blue. I was worried it was a cavity, but it was apparently just torn tissue. So good news yey! It was a little stressful staying with my parents, since my mom is my mom. I got to visit with Jennifer and Megan though, which was pretty sweet. I had gotten a bottle of wine ’cause I thought we were going to be making fish tacos on Thursday, but it turns out my parents wanted me and Dave to pay for it all, so we didn’t. Wednesday night we watched The Rock and Jennifer fell asleep, so we took her home after it was over and went over to Megan’s to hang out. Megan and I had a glass of wine each and we watched most of Raiders of the Lost Ark, which had been retitled on the DVD release to Indian Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark for some reason. Anyways, we left around 0130 so she could get some sleep and go to work in the morning.
I woke up fairly early for us on Thursday, around 0930-ish. Dave woke up around 1300 though, lol. We went to Armand Bayou Nature Reserve and went on a trail walk. It was pretty fun. There were tons of Golden Orb Spiders. Tons! They were everywhere! It was pretty sweet, we even saw a deer. Afterwards we hung out with Jennifer again and ate at Applebee’s. Dave and I ordered poorly. I had the French onion soup and they brought it out and the bowl was filled to less than half way!! I was pretty irritated, but that Applebee’s isn’t very competent, I have found. After that we got some snack foods and went back to my parent’s and watched some movies and finished off the wine. We watched Die Hard 3 and I don’t remember what else. They all started blurring together for me. I got kinda tired a little early so I went up to bed around elevenish, but Dave and Jennifer were gabbing about comics and were pretty loud and my mom kept coming in to tell me alcohol is bad for your liver so I shouldn’t drink it, so I couldn’t really sleep. Dave did take Jennifer home eventually and we slept pretty good that night.
Friday morning we had to go back to Dave’s dad’s place ’cause Dave had to sign some stuff that day. I took a nap and played my Pearl game some. Dave’s dad and step mom got it for me for my birthday, it was so nice of them! I really like it too, it is really fun so far. I had lots of fun digging around the Underground last night also. Whee! Anyways, Dave and Ben and I all went out to eat with Freda and Jeff and we had a good time. We ate a newish Tex-Mex restaurant that had really spiffy food. I had a stuffed avacado, which I guess is really more Cal-Mex than Tex-Mex, but it was good either way! I also got to have a few Amaretto Sours, they were pretty good too. Afterwards we went back to my parent’s place and spent some time with them. But on the way there Dave got me some birthday gifts! He got me Leaf Green and the National Pokedex and he got himself Diamond. He said he is gonna get me more things too, I’m excited. Dave spoils me! Anyways, we went back to my parents and spent some time with them. I don’t really remember what we did, I was a little tired. Then me and Dave played our games and such until we got even more tired and fell asleep.
We took Franklin with us on our trip, and he really liked it at my parents’ place. Their cat, Kichou (my old kitty but she likes going outside and stuff so we didn’t take her) did really well with Franklin and Franklin seemed to really like having another cat around. We are (I am) thinking about getting another kitty if I get a job. I will hopefully be working at a local restaurant soon, it isn’t a job in Earth Science, but it is a job that pays money! I think I wanna take a little bit of a break, anyways, and work a job with no major responsibilities and just sort of exist for a season or two.
I forgot to take pictures with my dad’s camera, but we took some with our camera phones. If any of you know how to transfer the pictures from the phone to a computer please let me know, I want to show off my kitty! I know you can email it and stuff to yourself, but neither of us have the internet on our phones. Halps!

Me an Dave are going to good ol’ Htown today. We are the very brokes and need to go down anyways. It is my birthday on the 25th and Dave’s aunt is going through chemotherapy this week. She has the liver and colon cancer, but I think she will do just fine. My grandma had colon cancer and she went through chemo with no problems, and she was eighty-four!
We are also taking Franklin with us. He does ok on car trips, and we have him a kitty harness so we can take him out of the carrier and let him use the litter box without worrying about his safety. I hope he does ok, I’m a little bit worried about accidents since I haven’t seen him poop yet. But we have those little “weewee” pads, or whatever they are called, to line the carrier with, and paper towels to pick up messes.
Well, if I get a chance I will post from Htown, but most likely not. But my dad does have a digital camera, so lots of photos of Franklin when we get back! Woo!
Kitty!

We have a new kitty now yey! His name is Franklin and he is handsome. We don’t have a digital camera so I can’t show you what he looks like, but he is so cute! We went down to the place to look at Baby and Lorenzo, because we had narrowed it down to those two kitties, but Franklin was there also. After we had spent some time with Baby and Lorenzo the lady asked us if we’d like to see Franklin also, I figured why not, since we were there to adopt a kitty and it couldn’t hurt to give him some attention anyways. He was such a charmer, and then he got cranky, but it didn’t matter ’cause he was the perfect kitty for us. 
We adopted him, and it turns out he had been in the cat hotel place for a whole three weeks! His cage-kennel was big, but I think I’d get stir crazy too. Poor baby! But he is doing so much better now that he is home with us, we had a fight with the food, because he could still smell the dry food that he had been eating, so he didn’t eat until we gave him that junk. But I just got done taking out the trash, so hopefully he will eat his food today.

Dave and I are rescuing a kitty! I am very excited about this. I have made up a list of things we need already, from Amazon.com., and we will go get those things on the 29th. Along with the kitty! His name is Schroeder and he is very handsome, a long haired black and white kitty and very friendly. Oh I am excited, I can not wait to get him!

Dave and I finally have internet in our new place. we have been busy moving so I didn’t have time to blog about it. I probably won’t blog for some days to come, my grandfather passed away and we are flying down to Houston this saturday.
Exciting!

Dave and I went to look at apartments up in Denton today, and we got a really nice one! Two bedrooms with 837sq.ft. total at $595.00 a month. Our first month is also half off, very exciting! There is no gas, it is all electric, but that is ok with me. I’m just so excited that we did this together. It was a little irritating that we both had to fill out forms, but if we had been married we would only have had to fill out one and pay one application fee, but whatever. I’m thinking of having a party thing after we get moved in to celebrate, I am very excited!
Conclusion?

Well, I stayed the night the other night with my friend Leslie. I went back to my parents at 5:30am and we actually managed to talk like adults. It seems that my refusal to come back to the house last night made my mom finally really think and stuff. Its only been like, two days, but she has totally changed her attitude and how she treats me mostly. She still nags about my drinking anything other than diet drinks, and about whenever I eat how I shouldn’t be eating. But she’s changing, which is really nice and suprising. I didn’t think that anything would change how she viewed me, but it seems like she’s finally stopped looking at me like I’m still 12 years old. We still get on each others nerves really easily, but this is certaintly improvement!
