My little white patoot

The clouds are moving so quickly.
They're zooming past my window, it's crazy.
It goes from raining cats and dogs to a slight drizzle. That's how it always is here.

Last week the rain started, and it hasn't really stopped since. I feel like it's always raining here. I knew that was what to expect, but you don't really know it until you live it.

Let's see, I haven't updated in a couple of weeks.
Jen moved back to Nevada. She spent the night here last night because she didn't think she and her boyfriend could make the drive without sleeping. I didn't even see her, I just left the door unlocked and I left for work before they even woke up. The house was neat when I get home, it was almost like she was never here.

I'm getting sick. My throat is killing me right now.

Oh, I got disowned by my family. Yayyyy. haha, no but seriously. On facebook I posted a status about legalizing pot, just asking for people's opinions, and I'm in favor of it and I think I made that pretty clear. My aunt completely disagrees and tried to change my mind and make me sound stupid, and I was like, actually my opinion is completely informed...I'm not stupid, I don't smoke it, I have a lot of reasons, political, economical and otherwise for wanting it to be legalized. So she called my grandma and told her that I was posting pro marijuana stuff all over the internet, and my grandma called me to yell at me and tell me that I was going to get Hubby fired. Awesome. I told her I disagreed and she and my aunt were completely out of line, she said some really harsh things and hung up.

And that was that. I deleted my aunt from my facebook, because this isn't the first time she's put her nose where it shouldn't be, and if she has such a problem with my political views, then being facebook friends doesn't do either of us a bit of good.

My grandma and aunt put my sister right into the middle of it too, and because my grandma sends my sister checks every month to help her pay her bills and feed her children, my sister had to be submissive and agree with whatever my grandma said. She told her to stay out of it and my sister would not talk to me about it after that. But that's just how my grandma is. My grandpa was in the Navy, he died, and my grandma has been living off his pension ever since, and giving away his money to those family members that 'need it'. But it's not really a gift, no no. As much as she'd like you to believe. It's the money that she uses to control everybody's lives. It's sick. She's done it to my parents for years. Threatens to stop sending money if we don't behave a certain way, think certain things, and I, for one, would rather die in a ditch than accept any of her money. Thank God she doesn't send me money, because that means I'm allowed to have my own opinions, and speak them.

She tried to call me today, but I was at work. I saw the missed call when I got home, but I have no intention of calling her back, or of picking up the phone if she calls. She and my Aunt are batshit crazy, and I'm just done with it all. My mom's side of the family can kiss my patootie. I've tried, and failed to make it work. And I'm just done trying.



Other than that, Hubby has been at the station for two days now and won't be home until Tuesday. :( Then he goes back to work Wednesday and Thursday. SAD. Next weekend will be good at least. We found out the dates that he's going to Reno in December and I can't go with him. I'd miss too much work :/ Oh well. I don't want to miss a bunch of work because I don't want a tiny pay check. I have to pay for school in January. And that's going to be a tidy sum.

Worked all day.
Came home and cleaned the house.

Spent the night painting and making love.

It was a really good day. :)
