Another Week Begins

I spent the weekend in bed thinking I was coming down with something awful. I wasn’t running a fever or anything but every muscle and joint in my body was crying out in pain. On top of that, all I could stand to do was sleep. Today I seem fine but over the weekend I felt like I’d been run over by a truck.

On one of my few ventures out Greg and I went Lowe’s to pick up a few things for the house. We finally got the parts needed to put a ceiling fan in Jonathan’s room and he was very grateful for that! He’s alot like me in that he needs to have air moving on him to sleep comfortably. We also picked up some stuff to pull up the old vinyl flooring in the kitchen. Yea, finally it looks like I’m gonna get that started. Maybe I was the catalyst behind it seeing as I ripped up most of the floor knowing Greg would hate seeing it like that, which he did. So that’s in the works now.

I tried to watch the Miami/New York game but kept falling asleep. From what I did see it went as expected. I hate the Jets!! Always have, always will. It just sucks that my team is crappy again this year. Every year it’s the same thing and every year I keep hoping for a miracle. Doesn’t look like even that’ll help this year. Aaagggghhhh!

I got a date from the bankruptcy court to appear for my hearing. Actually it’s called a meeting of the creditors, of which there’s only one, and I’ll know then whether or not that debt will be dishcarged. I did get a waiver signed by the judge saying I was in such a bad way that I didn’t have to pay the filing fee so I"m hoping that’s a good indication as to how the whole thing will work out.

Jonathan went to his first homecoming dance this weekend. He’d asked me to take him out shopping before then to get a nice outift. Evidently he trusts my taste more than his mother’s. Damn good thing he does. She’s got shit for taste. Hell, I used to pick out her clothes and I did all the decorating at the house. Go figure, huh?

Jonathan looked so grown up and mature in the pictures from the homecoming dance. He’s been such a good guy that I really have no serious complaints. Everyone keeps telling me to wait, it’ll come but so far I see no indication of that. He’s open and honest with me but that took alot of blood, sweat and tears to achieve. I think it’s come down to the simple fact that I respect him and ask nothing less from him in exchange. So far it’s worked.

Work is still about the same. I’ve had my hours cut back but only to the point where I can’t work any overtime so I’m still getting my forty hours a week. It’s tough to get by on just that but it’s better than the alternative.

Other than that, not much is new. Greg’s off all this week so I’ll get to see him when I get home from work each night. He’s got lots he says he wants to get done this week but I don’t know exactly how much he’ll get done. He’s such a procratinator.

To all my OD fave’s, I’m sorry for not having kept up with you all. I have been reading even if I don’t leave many notes. I’m still thinking of ya’ll.
