Are You a Traveling Man?

 We just got back from our annual trip to Oklahoma and Texas.  It was so nice to get away with Sweety and the Bean.  While we were out there, I did something different and didn't visit friends.  We were only in Oklahoma for a few days and it was stressing me out to figure out how to see who and when so I just didn't.  We stayed in a cabin and just chilled out around the campground.  It was good. 

We did go clean up Mom's cemetery plot.  Huge shout out to Sweety for doing all of the work in 108 degree weather.  He set me up in the shade with a chair and water to supervise.  I wish we didn't live so far away so we could do it more often.  A friend and her husband weed eat it and tidy it the best they can when the cemetery has their annual cleaning day in May.  So all the weeds were dead, we just had to clean out and throw stuff away.  It ended up looking nice again.

Bean got to visit her first online friend.  She met this kid playing games online almost a year ago and they text and FaceTime every day.  We picked him up for lunch so they got to hang out for a couple of hours.  Bean was so nervous about meeting him that she just giggled and shook for a good while.  My nephew (formerly known as my niece) said that Bean was just like her Mama, meeting internet friends.  I guess Bean does take after me.

My nephew and his wife are staying with us for a little while.  While they get housing and schooling sorted out.  I'm loving having them here.  Sometimes I'll look at my nephew and remember that he's a grownup with a wife and a job and it makes me feel really old.  I'm super proud of him.  He got a job down here pretty quickly as did his wife.  They have two doggos so we have a house full right now.  They are well behaved so it's not bad.  One of the dogs has a real issue with Sweety though and loses his everloving shit when he sees or hears Sweety.  I told them that I think their dog needs an exorcism because when they take him somewhere out of the house, the whole mood is different. 

Oh, y'all!  I did something fun while we were traveling!  I took Chi Chi 2.0 on the trip and took her photo in different places.  I think I'm going to continue it at home too.  She can go to lunch and sightseeing with me.  She has a Facebook and an Instagram .  I couldn't decide which platform that I wanted to use so they both have the same stuff.

For Crying Out Loud

​So the Bean has this field trip tomorrow & she needs her swimsuit. I have asked her for the past two days if she has her suit. She always answers yes. Tenfuckingthirty at night, the night before the trip, she informs me that she can’t find her swim bottoms. 

Excuse me? WTF. I pretty much lost any shred of self restraint and chewed her a new asshole. I knew the damn suit bottoms had to be here somewhere. We eventually found them. After finding them, Bean was apologizing for telling me that she had her suit when she didn’t and she started to cry.

Now I feel like the biggest asshole around for grouching at her so much. I was so mad that I got lightheaded. I don’t think I’ve ever grouched at her like this before. But damn kid, keep track of your stuff!

It Feels Like Home

I guess my blogging adventure has come full circle.  The old URL that I used after this one has been overtaken by Japanese p0rn so don't go there.  Unless you're into that sort of thing.  I tried blogging at a new place but it just didn't feel right.  Even though I hadn't been here since 2008, I remembered how to login and consider it a sign. 

My anxiety med ran out a few days ago and when I went to refill it, they told me that I had to wait a few more days even though it had been 30 days since the last refill.  Instead of calling my doctor's office to see if they could to anything about it, I decided to just wing it and go without it for a few days.  Big mistake.  I am fucked up.  It feels like electricity is touching my brain every now and then and my teeth feel weird on top of me feeling weird.  Thankfully, I can get more tomorrow.

We break up the Bean's summer with camp weeks every now and then.  She's a little antisocial, (she comes by that honestly) and complains leading up to every new week but once she goes, she's happy and has fun.  Today started a new camp week and she had a good day.  I'm glad.  She's complaining about tomorrow because they have a field trip where they're going to go snorkeling at a spring and she doesn't want to go.  I reminded her that she was all bah humbug about the last two water field trips but ended up having fun.  I know tomorrow will be the same.  Heck, I'd like to go snorkeling!
