Good morning! I got a lot done yesterday: two short errands, bills and budget, animal org minutes and notes, and online tasks. The latter includes things like meds reorder and library recheck. What it did NOT include was computer jigsaws - I successfully avoided them!
However, I lost a lot of time to a phone call with the friend who has the dangerous x boyfriend and the cat. I was unable to convince her to let me come get him. She claims he loves the cat. Well, he also "loves" her and two other women with restraining orders! We talked about her dreams of when she gets back on her feet. One is a specific cabin in the woods. Not a bad goal EXCEPT that her plan to obtain it includes finding a man "like B" to go in on the "investment". According to her, she needs someone like B because he has handyman skills. However, her description of them was that he is unmotivated and took forever to get things done AND wasn't very skilled just sort of. Really, she described him as "sort of a handyman". B is also the guy who tried to strangle her. I am sure his handyman skills would be sufficient to build something to hide her body! I'm thinking new deck or hot tub. Her financial picture is bleak, but I hardly think it improved while she was supporting the also unemployed B, replacing the things he broke when he got violent, and paying the medical bills incurred when he tried to strangle her! (Harmony: it was not the cat he tried to strangle, but my friend).
While at N's place over the weekend, I met another of her friends who is being controlled by her x husband. Are all single women my age morons? (Question for self: Am I a moron? I may be avoiding men, but is my career path on track?) I told them, "Ladies our age have to be MORE picky not less. We don't have time to mess around with turkeys!" They just laughed at my use of the term ladies instead of women. Well, all female humans are women, to be a lady is an accomplishment!
Tonight's plan is Girls' Night Out with DD16. I have no idea what I am feeding her as usual. I do know that her plan for the amusement park won't happen, because it closes at 6. I need to do things around the house to be ready for the post-surgical lifting limitations. At minimum, I would like to get the bed stripped and remade and clean the bathroom. At payroll, I will be testing a query and MUST enter my time in the payroll system. I would like to get paid!
