Out and about

Even though The Curmudgeon had a rough start to his day, I HAD to get out.

G and I dropped off the old router at the UPS store. The guy behind the counter was a hoot.

Then we picked up my Sit-N-Cycle at Bed, Bath, and beyond. On sale fifty dollars off and G had a coupon for an additional twenty percent off. I saved eighty bucks!

Time to go out for lunch after that and Longhorn Steakhouse waved us in. We shared a mussels appetizer and we both had a lovely prime rib sandwich and fries, yummy!

After that, we needed some exercise, so we went walking around the nearby mall. G found a wallet for a good price.

It felt so good to get out of the house after two weeks of being shut in with him.

I will have to get out once more this week. We need some groceries. Another lunch out sounds good too. I wonder who would like to go shopping with me, lunch is my treat.

Oh you made plans? Tough shit.

Had it all set up. G and I were going out to lunch, shopping for my exer-cycle, sending the old router back to Verizon, and getting me out of the house because I am ready to keel him.

Well, that didn’t happen.

I had to snag a neighbor to get him up off the floor when I got up. Lucky for him he’d just gone down and wasn’t there for hours. Then he informs me he has a pain management appointment and I have to take him.

He rushed me so much, that I left without my purse which meant I didn’t have my Kindle to keep me happy. Therefore, I was not a happy camper when I had to sit around and wait listening to an idiotic judge whatever the hell this one’s name was show on an old boxy tube TV with horrible sound.

For what they charge there you’d think they would at least put a decent TV in. Seriously, it looked like this one.

I just want to sleep all the time

At least we had sun yesterday.

Much better than more rain.

If only energy had come along with it.

I might have accomplished something.

As it was, I cooked dinner and did the dishes.

Wow. So much energy. Not.

Too damned cold already

For a couple of days now we’ve had our heat turned on and I’ve had to wear a hoodie to take the dogs out.

I am not ready to face another winter.

The house is not ready for another winter.

Brrrr.

Where’s my beach?

Can’t keep my eyes open

Another day where I felt as tired when I woke as when I went to bed. This has gone on for a solid two weeks.

No amount of coffee consumed upon rising has brought me to full alert status.

I need to go grocery shopping but have been getting up too late in the day to go where I don’t have to contend with crowds and idiots. Now I’ll wait until after the weekend because I never shop on the weekend where all the people are in all the stores.

I think I’ll need some of that five-hour energy drink stuff.

Nothing more to lose

There are days where I feel lonelier than I ever thought possible. More depressed than I ever knew I could become. Lost as if in a forest deep.

So angry at the man I should have the most compassion for and in more of a panic than I ever could believe a person could panic.

If only there were some way to escape other than the sleep I try so hard to get each day.

A woman should always have enough money set aside to give her a new beginning if need be. I, unfortunately, do not have such a thing.

I don’t even have the advantage of social security since I had to quit jobs to help care for my baby sister, then her kids for a short time, and finally The Curmudgeon.

I stopped writing because the stress of taking care of him plundered my concentration and imagination. I live in a harsh reality.

Now, I have no escape, no hope, and nothing more to lose.

Oh crap, I’m not ready!

It’s the first of October already. I haven’t even started on my porch design!

Any volunteers?
