.. we went out to Mom and Dad's. "We" being my sister, who drove; my son, my son's friend and myself. Hamburgers were eaten by all. Well, not by Mom. She ate chicken and tortilla chips.
My son and his friend did some work for Mom and Dad, to help make up for some of the rent owed. I did some sorting out of things, and I ended up with six bags of stuff to leave the house and go to the poor; plus one large bag of stuff to go to my house.
There's still a lot left to do, though.
We stopped and had our ID changed (me and my son). They charged us $12 each, even though it was simply for an address change and to have a mistake they had made corrected. It should have only been $4 each, last I checked. Grr! I didn't even think about it, at the time.
Yesterday, I freaked out a bit, while looking for a birth certificate. It was like the way I feel when people are smoking pot around me. Which, the new neighbors, on both sides, are pot heads, so it's very likely that is exactly what was happening. During said freak out, I tipped over a bookcase and now there are two new holes in a wall and the bookcase is broken. So, I just made life for me a little worse.
Yes, I am a wee bit depressed to know that. Just saw the holes, though, write before I wrote this. Mainly, I don't know what to do. How do I get away from pot smokers? How? Why should my life be constantly miserable because other people want their selfish pleasures? I'm afraid I'll end up in jail because other people smoke pot.
It's not like I can do anything about it. Sure, it's still illegal - assuming they don't have a proper medical reason for smoking it - but, it's not like I can prove they have it, and, it's not like that much would happen to them if I could. And, I'd just end up with neighbors that hate me and see me as a narc. I don't want that. I just want to be able to breathe and exert my own self control. Which, it makes me lose control, so badly, that I'm very afraid of what will happen. And, anyway, I have no proof and I have no hope.

Shopping for my Shape
About the Oval shape:
You are voluptuous and ample! You have an adorable face with cheeks that are full and squeezable. The length of your neck appears short but you have beautiful ample breasts.
Your shoulders could be prominent or average-sized, and they have a tendency to be slightly sloped. Your arms could look proportionate when compared to your upper torso. So, it balances out nicely. Some dressing challenges you may face are your front midsection "tummy" and your undefined waistline.
However, your greatest asset is the bottom portion of your body. You have hips that look narrower relative to your entire body, thighs that are balanced, and legs that are amazingly shapely.
So, now that you're packed with all the information about your figure select, strut, and be confident in all the chic styles an oval shape has to offer.
Your Shape: Oval
What to Wear:
- Asymmetrical, cowl, scoop, boat, v-neck, or any style that exposes the neckline
- Sleeves 3/4, 5/8 and bracelet-length
- Lighter bottoms, darker tops. Un-tucked tops. Flat-front pants
- Princess seams, dropped waist, blouson styled tops, faux wrap dresses, draped silhouettes
- 'Peak' empire waist. High slits. Straight, tiered, tulip and trumpet skirts
What not to Wear:
- Turtlenecks or styles that cover-up neckline
- Designs with horizontal stripes, heavy pleating, ruffles, or extra details at the midsection
- Classic empire waist, combi-dress, warp-around dresses with full skirts
- Super-clingy and very fitted styles. Full-length sleeves
- Pants with front pleats. Wide leg and baggy styles. High-waist bottoms
This isn't totally accurate, but, it's very close. I'll see if something else comes closer.. If not, I'll go with this. / Checked and even when I gave other answers that were possibilities, it still came out as oval.
This is the Joan Top in Merlot for $65, the Maureen Lace Skirt for $80,
and the Bianca necklace in Amber for $48
Hayworth dress in Black $170.00

Mmmm .. boots ..
Been very tired and .. blah .. so not been writing about life and not up to it just now. But, I shall dream of boots and maybe shoes from Kohl's, to start with:
A2 by Aerosoles Rolling Wave Ankle Boots
Ah, never mind. It's too difficult and rather pointless, since I have no money for custom made shoes (or any shoes) and since they don't make shoes that fit me, in general.
Dad was beaten by some boys at the gym, and so he has quit running it. He tried to report it to the police and the police expressed dire concern that he may have laid a hand on one of them. He was actually knocked out after being viciously attacked by several at once and when I talked to him, he was off to the doctor to see if his arm was fractured. He's over 70 years old! They were several teenage weight lifters.
The police are crazy!

Kicked out Blondie
There were two extra people staying here and now there is one. That's because the blonde one was seen, by me, dipping his hands into the stew that was left over from last night, eating the meat and veggies out of it; then, he'd lick his fingers and stick his hand back in the stew. Then, he went on to do relatively the same thing to the peanut butter.
I had found a glass of what looked like toothpaste spit (but might have been Boraxo and water) spilled in the kitchen, this morning, that I know was done by him, too.
Just too much weirdness and too icky, too. So, I told him if the boys want him to come over and know he is there, he can come hang out, sometimes; but, no spending the night and no living here.
We are making plans, sort of, to go out to Mom and Dad's on Thursday, so Marcus can do some yard work and earn money toward his rent payment and I can do a little cleaning. Part of it may depend on if Roberta wants to drive us out there.

I'm an idiot
Barely any food, but, we went to the bank and ended up at Pappy's Diner, and, even though my son did not want a burger and I only ordered one for me and one for my son's friend, I ended up with no burger. Why? Because, I ordered it without telling them to not put cheese on it.
It looked so good with the cheese, too! But, I did not partake. I ate my son's friend's french fries, though.
Saw a vase at Family Dollar, oh and a lamp, that I would like to have. They'd go very nice with my planned decor, such as I have planned it, and not look like cheap pieces of crap, even though, in fact, that is what they are. There was also a candle holder with a black square behind it, which had a golden tree painted on it. Hard to explain, but, lovely to look at. The vase was dark "wood" with sort of tan (as in creamy, not white) cherry blossoms on it. The lamp was one of those .. oh, it's hard to explain, as well, as I can't think of the right word. It kind of reminds me of only the top part of a glass.
Anyway, I would be quite happy to have them. Not likely to happen, though.
Spent most of my money on the wrong food and spent most of Jordan's friend's food stamps, that he gave me to spend, on drinks for us on the walk. These walks are getting too expensive! Mostly, it's that it is at the hottest part of the day, so I end up needing to go into the diner to sit and wait for the sun to go down.
I did some writing this morning. Oh, and I got a notice from DES that I can call in before the 21st, or come into the office. The 21st is my deadline, not the day of my appointment.Just called and told Mom that.

Meaning, he reposted the advertisement today, without even so much as saying he was not interested or saying anything else, at all.
This is what I wrote to him, just a wee tick ago:
As I said before, if someone takes the time to write a poilte email to you, expressing interest in getting to know you, the least you could do is send a polite no thank you. Much better, it is, than making them wait and wonder.
Goodbye.

Much organizing
Well, much for me. I worked in the kitchen, today, putting away dishes, washing a few, figuring out where to put the spices and the cups o' noodles, both of which I own in plentiful amounts.
My sister called and invited me to go to an art store with her. Saw many fine things I would like to have, for the creation of art, and a few brushes that I'd like to use for sensual massage if, in fact, there was anyone to massage. Yes, seriously! They were very soft and tickly.
After that, we went to Pier 1, where I found many things to love. The one thing I was sure of that I would enjoy having in my home, regardless of what else I did with the place, was this chest of Asian feel, with dragonflies on it. It was black with red and gold designs sort of etched onto it. Very cute. Would be fine underneath a wall-mounted flat screen, for housing a few videos, I guess.
Then, back to her house, where we watched some HGTV and I had the idea, again, of putting the love seat at the end of my bed, if and when I ever get my bed. Not sure it would work, just because of the configurations of the room, though.
Then, off to the dog park, which was very pleasant. Yes, we took the dogs.
Oh, and, somewhere in all that, pretty near the front, I discovered that my son stole my money. See, his friend finally paid me back the $20 he owed me, and I used some of it to buy a silverware organizer tray and my favorite magazines, a soda and candy for me and my sister (each), and had about $6.50 left over, which my son took out of my wallet. (sigh)
Dropped my black peppers, which came in their own glass jar with a grinder, too; not while out with my sister, but, while organizing things. It's a bummer, but, I'll live. I certainly have black pepper, just not whole cloves.
All in all it was an eventful day, filled with disappointment, laughter, hurt feelings, weirdness and beef stew. The weirdness was mainly related to a movie we watched called American Perfekt. At least, I think that is the name of it. Very weird. Yes, I think I would recommend seeing it, but, the one review we read seemed to hit it on the head. Something about how they liked the movie but were not sure why and damn if they'd ever do heads or tails over anything again.
Still no word from that guy. Pretty sure there is nothing to get excited about, on any level, in any direction.
