Sometimes even the best layed plans become misplaced. Such as my life come to late. The complacency issue in my relationship has been gnawing on my insides for quite some time. I got off a work early yesterday started some laundry and peeked in on thoughts. I thought I was home free walking up to my building I noticed my neighbors car was gone. Gave me a giddy feeling, I was going to get some much needed time to myself. Wasn't to be the case, she came home and saw my car. The jig was up. My time to myself and my alone time with Tim took a backseat.
She's lonely and stuck between a rock and a hard place. People in our building have a tendancy to keep away from her. She's a nice person, yes, she has problems....but then again who doesn't? I'm dissapointed that my day and evening didn't go as planned. Do you turn your back on someone in need? Am I more important than her? No, to both questions. I realise some of her problems she has brought upon herself, not unlike most of us. Her health problems are out of her control. She was born with ill health and has more "itises" than Carter has liver pills. She is on her third marriage. Still married though they have lived apart for the past three years. The basis of her problem now is that her uncle (has more money than God, parkinsons and an executor that wants the whole enchilada) has cut her off. Her only form of income is SSI and since her breakup with her husband her uncle has been helping her out. I suppose she thought the gravy train would never dry up. Much to her shegrin it has. I feel bad for her situation. In all honesty she is not her uncles problem. I can't seem to get this through her head. She needs to come up with a plan. As with anyone, we are responsible for ourselves. Our financial hardships aren't our family and friends problems. Realistically thats how I feel. I don't want to see her thrown out on the street. She needs to take action instead of waiting for a winning "power ball" drawing.
Tim and I listened to her problems, fed her dinner and then I went and installed a printer for her. Which didn't work, the driver wouldn't install and with my very limited computer knowledge it was like the blind leading the blind. Unfortunately Tim will get this task today. Poor Time, thankfully he's a good guy and will lend a hand with a smile and no complaining.
So today will be a sequel to yesterday. Only thing to make a bit of difference is taking Otis for echo cardiogram. He's been doing well, active and playful. You'd never know he has a bad heart.
I'm thinking of coming a hermit or a troll. I think being a troll would be more fun. I could have a "Don King" hairdo a Buddah belly and could walk around naked and barefoot and have a shitty disposition.
