Talking on the Phone with my Son

Had a really great talk with my son tonight.  We talked about 18 minutes which is a lot for us.  He asked me to be in his club which is called the Friends Club.  I thanked him for inviting me in. No rules we just are.  LOL.  We got to talk about the sports he is playing and what he can and can't do.  Only my son would get me talking about sports.  39 years on this planet and I haven't talked sports now I am.  Surprised I know so much.  I guess it was good to listen all these years.  So we set up to practice his soccer and basketball skills when we get together.  Also I will try to get tickets to one of the professional soccer games here.

Still don't like it when my ex has him end the phone call.  Not quite sure how to handle this yet besides "BACK THE F**K OFF!"  The other thing I need to again deal with her is that since she will not talk to me that going through our son is inappropriate.  Tonight's question was that Eric wants to be baptized.  I really don't care.  Like I asked him, "do you want to do it?"  He said yes and I was whatever makes you happy go for it.  However in life and our agreement the parents are suppose to discuss this.  I probably have to make a grievance list and just take her to court again if this stuff doesn't change. 

The only bad news I got tonight was that we are having another Hoochie Momma party on June 30th the day after I was going to pick up Eric.  I can bring him to work, but this is not a good night for him.  So I will have to push back my picking him up 2 days and I will be tired to do the 14 hour drive. 

As the World Spins

I tell you soon as I start doing my Mom's paperwork, BOOM.  I'm stressed and the world spins.  I know there is some old stuff there, but today I don't feel like looking at it.  Mostly it's my usual feeling that it all has to be done NOW which it doesn't.

Finally figured out why I am attracted to one of my patients.  I've felt very comfortable around her and have not known why.  Her 20 year old outfits don't help. Anyway she smiled yesterday just some way and then it hit me.  It's my old therapist face.  The eyes, the smile, the body type.  I wasn't attracted to my therapist, but she was the best I had over the years.  I take it the gibbering monkey part of my brain can't tell the difference in people.  So take my therapist who I was very comfortable with and a woman in tight outfits and whalla!  The answer to my attraction which popped as soon as I realized it.

Stop My Mind I Want to Get Off

Boy my mind was in rare form last night while I was trying to fall asleep.  Like the Energizer bunny it just get going, and going, and going.  Took me hours to fall asleep.  Been a long time since that has happened.  Surprisingly I am not tired today.  I'll see how the day proceeds.  This does tell me though even though I am taken some quiet times during the day it should be more and I need a day when I just drop everything so as to get a little vacation from it.

I found out this morning in yoga class that feeling at peace and having your muscles burn like hell are the same thing.  No wonder people keep getting in fights if this is how peace feels. ;)

Dropped off my Mom's application today for assisted living.  Now just waiting for them to give me a call back to say when she can move in.  I'm hoping I can do it the Father's day week.

Happy Monday Everyone

Hey thank you Coinstar.  I hate long weekends when I am waiting for checks to clear.  So I grabbed my change jar and headed down to Food Lion.  So I treated myself with the money for the holiday.  A Chinese lunch and now a pint of ice cream.  Never done that before, the ice cream that is.  Since I have a small freezer I can' save it so I have to eat it all.  Since I am so hot today I figured what the hey. 

Well I got most of my storage unit stuff straightened out.  I cleaned it up and tossed a few thinks out.  But looking for stuff.  When I finally make it to the back of the unit and look at the wall of boxes I usually say forget it.  So at least it is organized again and I can put more stuff in if need be.

Looked around for furniture for my Mom today.  I don't know furniture prices so I asked a friend what he thought.  He told me I was going for too good stuff.  He was correct my Mom needed good stuff, but I could find cheaper.  So I will look later on or during the week.  I'm glad to be taken this route since the moving route was REALLY stressing me.

My black & white thinking continues.  Since I am not asking out anyone for the next month I am not talking to anyone.  I was in the bookstore today and the librarian from the local library was there looking at some of the manga books like myself.  I don't know if she recognized me. but I did her.  So my b & w thinking kicks in and I am not saying anything since I am not looking to date.  I hate when I do that.  So some work needs to be done in this area.

Sunday Night

Well went over everything with my brother tonight and we agreed that we will sell her house with the contents in it and just buy furniture here.  Since the cost will probably be the same in moving the stuff the distance.  I guess everyone is waiting on me to to do the move.  I guess I will see when I can put the furniture in and then make plans to go get my Mom. 

Other than that it has been an uneventful day.  I've been doing paperwork for the business.  Some laundry which I am glad the place is near the office so I could walk back over here.  Since their was some kind of red neck feud going on there. 

Lazier Sunday

It was a good Sunday morning.  Slept right through it.  Went to the gym.  Back home an dread the paper and I am ready for be again.  I was going to go clean up the storage unit today, but I don't think that is going to happen.   I guess this is going to be a recharge day. 

I'm dreading June.  I've gotten a little better with going to go down and get my Mom, but now that her stuff needs to be here before she does is has become a real pain.  The lesson here is to involve my brother in this to pick up the slack.  So the dread here is stressing me. 

Well hey I am exhausted from all this work I think I need to lay down. :)

Lazy Saturday

Yoga was rough this morning with no AC.  I had a funny feeling Tara was going to have us do squats and we did.  Oye.

Went down to the yearly Strawberry Festival this afternoon.  It was nice, but I realized it is exactly the same as last year.  At least move the vendors around to make it look different.  Anyway I got to see the pig races this year.  That was fun.  The piglets were very cute.  I was surprised how far the could they could do a standing jump.  The rest of the shows were good. 

Now I am back home and I just what to sleep.  I think all the heat has done me in.  I know if I pass out I will never sleep tonight.  So I will amuse myself some how and decide later which to watch tonight.  Ran or Chicago?  Both ends of the spectrum I know.

One thing I have noticed living in the south now is that women are taller down here than they are up north on average.  Maybe it's just the area, but I swear sometimes I am living in the land of the Amazons.
