Limboland part 4

[bookpusher]

Just an update. H picked up DD on Dec. 24 after her job (around 7:00 pm) and kept her till 9:30 pm. I have no idea what they did and haven't asked. I did email H on Dec. 24 to confirm that he was picking her up and he replied promptly that he was so I emailed him about meeting together with the C. No reply. I emailed again saying that a no reply to me means "no, I never want to see you again". (a little harsh I know) and still no reply. I emailed the C this and I haven't emailed H since. Neither has H seen DD since but I do know they text.

Christmas was good. H didn't get me anything. There was a cheap unwrapped box of chocolates in DD's bag, Twilight series books (which I also got her), a Hannah Montana DVD (???? for a 16 year old?) and 2 $25.00 gift certificates one to Bath and Body Works and one to Barnes and Noble bookstore. DD and I went to church, then dinner at my dad's and then visited the neighbors. Another neighbor died Christmas eve, the father of my next door. I felt lucky that they had let me go to their family Christmas Dinner the Friday before and so I got to see him. He was a neat guy and will be missed.

New Years I did fly to Texas overnight with a girlfriend (she was wonderful and paid for everything!!). The big rich Texas party didn't materialize. Her friends didn't get tickets and their town was so small that everything closed at 10:00 pm. We did go to a progressive dinner around their neighborhood and it was nice. My friend even joked about kissing her date at midnight and sleeping together since we shared the same bed (heheheehe). DD did spend it with some of her crew friends.

DD and I were at the C's Friday. The C is going to ask H about meeting when they next get together, next week. Anyway, DD is anxious for a car. I said I could afford to buy one but can't afford the insurance, gas, etc. The C suggested H could buy that. I did think of an alternative - sell my car, pay off the remaining amount and take a car that may be unreliable but would be paid off. Then use the extra money (from the car payment) to buy the insurance. I told DD my plan and she immediately texted H and asked him to buy her insurance. He agreed to until she gets a job. Now, there still is a gas issue and what is the time limit? but I guess that is between them.

My dad had his oral surgery Thursday. It went well. They implanted two "trailer hitches" in his bottom jaw so the bottom denture will remain in place. Healing will take about 4 months but it should be wonderful! Maybe he can gain some weight and talk better afterwards. I am also taking him to the dermatologist on Monday. He has had skin cancer before and there may be signs of it again. DD goes to doctor to start on stratera for ADD again on Monday so it is a week of doctor and other appointments.

I am sick...I think it is just overload and aftereffects from the plane recycled air. Overall, I am planning my resolutions sans H for next year:

start ceramics business
World Horror Convention stuff till March
I would like to do something with Habits for Humanity
Dream of one day dancing at Kismet with a belly dancing troupe
Go to Ireland? or travel out of states next year
break my horse for riding
this is along with full time work and taking DD to her stuff.

hmmmm, what else????
