cannot write much now as it's the week of prom/graduation/relatives staying--some of whom I love--fil and his wife will be here tomorrow and they're the only ones on H's side to have stayed in contact while we were sep. (H is still here and will be for the celebration, leaves next week and we hop around this summer until the real move in August). MIL called the other day, but the phone was more than a foot away and when i saw her name on caller ID, I suddenly felt a pain in my arm, which prevented me from answering it....Oh and btw, MIL wrote to our daughter about graduation, enclosed a big check (500$) and said she wished she could see d18 more......how about flying out you idiot? Oh no wait, just send money b/c THAT'S LOVE/THAT'S SUPPORT and I wonder sometimes if that isn't where H got some of his weird values. But oddly, at our wedding, his dad flew out with his wife (that would be wife #2) and made an aside comment about wishing his own father had come to his wedding, rather than sending a check....so, fil IS a better man than his own dad and I say that for many reasons, and H is trying. But when you see a senior citizen who really ought to have learned SOMETHING from never having a single successful R with a man, (ie my mil) STILL being stupid in her R's with her only grand-kids, sometimes I want to shake her and say what are you waiting for?!?
Back to earth. Things are pretty good with H and I. Some friction with the kids is settling down but the time as a family unit is almost over as the relatives arrival will change the dynamics, probably making them superficial but pleasant, I hope...
Got a vague job offer HERE in LA yesterday. Very exciting, from a semi-celebrity. Actually a director/acting coach who just won an award here, so her fame is escalating. We've been friends for 5 years but the thing is, even though we're very close in some ways and I do see her as successful, she has always been a bit of a pleasant, lovable...taker. KWIM? For instance, I saw a woman (L) do a short film on a topic and K- loved it. Said she wanted to make it a full feature so my friend L said, "great, let's do it." Both worked very hard on it and when it came out, (mind you, L wrote the original short story and film) K- was THE director and Producer and L was the associate producer.....L told me "Hey, it wouldn't have gotten done without K"s power/influence...etc." BUT to hear K talk now, it's as if it was always her idea/film and I was there when L introduced it to K....just kind of weird.
Also I attended a comedy class long ago, BEfORE I met K at all, and signed on with the well known comedy agent/writer who WROTE the book/gave the seminar....K knows her as well. SO now, K mentions frequently how she introduced us and the comic mentioned that and passed on thanks to K through me, anyhow, I digress.
Gotta go, H is home, j-
