Didn't make it to the river. K never called. Probably for the best anyway, huh? I didn't want to call her about it. Got the girls stuff together this morning and we went to church. After church, I called the wife to make arrangements to meet or whatever. She didn't answer. We decided to get some sweet bread and then have chinese food at a local restaurant in our town. GBG finally calls and says she was about to go to Six Flags with S14. I tell her our plan and she says she can wait for them until after we eat. I let her talk to D11. D11 has been telling me how she doesn't want to go back, but she know she has to be fair on time spent.
I hate that she has to think that way. Eating at the restaurant, D11 is telling us to eat slow. That means the longer it takes to get to the apartment.
I get them back. D11 is sad. Wife tells me hello. She asks the girls if they want a sandwich?
"We JUST ate." "Oh yeah." Is she retarded?
Lots of goodbyes. Hugs and kisses. Call me anytime. I am being really cool.
Tony Stark cool And I smell good too.
Leaving, I ask the wife if she got my email. She looks at me, pauses, and says yeah. But she said it really strange. Like sorry. Hard to explain it. I say goodbye one last time and give her a bye, too. She tells me bye. I'm out. I haven't heard from K yet, so I figure I'll do a little shopping, go home and hit the yard.
Okay, the jungle.
As I'm getting inside the car, D11 comes running. She needs the parking pass to Six Flags. She tells me she doesn't want me to go. As far as she knew earlier, I was going river rafting. She is sad. I tell her that God is taking care of us and helping us be strong. I tell he to have fun. Another kiss on her forehead and I tell her to get inside. As she walks off, I do it again. I break down. Damn it! I'm just watching her. Before she turns the corner, one last look to me. I give a wave and she waves back. She looks so sad. I gather myself. Hit the store. Hit the video store. Get home and hit the yard. After, I head to the neighbor and ask if they can spare a cold one. He's a retired cop. About 50. Great couple. She's about 38 or 39. We stand outside. I can tell that they are trying to not talk about what's going on, so I kind of mention things.
He starts to tell me about moving on. I tell him I'm getting out more and even went to a movie by myself for the first time. Apparantly, he does it all the time. We talk about my kids. His kids. He has a daughter going to high school. I ask if S14 can catch a ride with them on days he's here. They're cool. Had a beer and now inside. Gonna clean up and make something to eat and chill.
Not sure what to do tomorrow. Maybe just hang. Who knows.
But I feel good. Gonna act like my new hero Tony Stark.
Thanks again, kat. Let me know when you want to go again. I want to see the Hulk next.

Any new movie that puts some Suicidal Tendencies in it has GOT to be cool.
You gotta love Suicidal...

No, I didn't wait for after the credits. I normally do but I think the guy getting sick a row ahead was getting to me. What happened? Oh gosh, do I need to go see it again? Ok just tell me what happened.

I picked up the habit from my theater days. GBG always thought it was strange, but then she does it too.
Tony gets home at the end. Alone. Walking into his house, he is talking to his virtual computer dude. Then he hears another voice. It sounds familiar. He asks who it is. A dark figure comes out from by the glass behind the sofa. He is talking about the future or something. The dark figure keeps coming forward, a black man with a patch over his eye.
Samuel Jackson!
He intros himself as the leader of that group the little guy works for. He's Nick Fury the head of the The long name group. Now I can't remember the name or the acronym.
He tells him that he wants him for a group he is assembling.
Fade to black.
Of course, he is talking about the Avengers. YEAH!
I remember Thor, Captain America, Ironman and The Hulk all being part of The Avengers. Back in our day, all we had was comic books. I also read Mad a lot. My weird sense of humor comes from that.
It was way cool.

Today I am CLEANING HOUSE. Cleaned up the girls room. Washing clothes. Hanging clothes. Vaccumed. Cleaned the kids/guest bathroom and shower/tub. Installed those new saver light bulbs, but need more, cleaned the disgusting light fixtures in the kitchen that were greasy. No telling how long its been since she's cleaned them. Dusted the living room. Rearranging stuff.
House cleaning was not her specialty. Decorating was.
Took down all the decorations and picture of stuff and various flower pots, fake sunflowers, bird house sh*t.....
Took it all down and put it in one of the extra rooms to sell later or get rid of. Or whatever. Even all the decorations in the bathrooms. Both of them.
Shredded a lot of old papers. Came across another valentine/anniversary card. Kind of put me in a funk.
Took out my guitar that I never learned how to play and set it out in the living room. Also took out nephews electric guitar and amp and put it in the living room, too. He still has all his stuff here even though its been about 2 months since he's been here.
Took out the learning how to play guitar video to watch some time this week.
Starting over with a clean slate. Decorate with what I want. Little by little though. Funds, you know.
THATS what I've been doing today.
And jamming out to some Audioslave and U2's Joshua Tree. Haven't even eaten today. Maybe tonight.
To me, the look was because, like I said, she probably thought I blew her off and ignored her. She knows I see my emails right away. I'm sure she was thinking all kinds of nasty sh*t about me like she usually does, then my response explained it.
Or who the hell knows. No one but her. Don't care.
Texted D11 today. She never called me last night. She passed out.
I told her that I DID go river rafting. Do you think that was wrong. I want to make sure they don't think I'm just doing nothing.
Ya'll no I'm not, but the river rafting sounded really cool to do. Hoping she'll tell her mom. I'm just being stupid, I guess.
Being here alone sucks, but I can do it. Maybe I'll go hit some golf balls when it cools off. Or go shoot some hoops.
But other than that, not doing much
