Mount Everest. STILL Forbidding. Aloof...

You guys really made my morning. Thanks for the nice thoughts and support.

Sadly, hasn't been the greatest morning. I woke up grumpy. I still don't feel well and I'm angry that I have to go get more juice and wood in the barn and so forth. But, I picked myself up and showered, got dressed, make up on...teaching demeanor and started lessons.

Felt a little better. Gave a much abbreviated invoice/letter to the pain in the a$$ "friends" (who surprised me yesterday with another $50). I feel a lil better about that sitch, although I really need to watch myself with them because they are worth shi! when it comes to helping ME out. I asked them for a bale of straw and some chicken food and it was this long drawn out ordeal and I still have no straw or chicken food.

Why is it that the easiest thing (they have a chicken farm for cripe's sake--the thing that would make my life so much easier and make it so much more worthwhile because I wouldn't have to drive to pick up chicken feed and straw!) Why is this lil thing so hard for them? Dumba$$e$. Seriously, making the chicken thing easier would make the other stuff so much better to take.

It feels good to vent. Thanks.

Oh, and I received this lovely text from Smokey this morning in reference to the $175 owed to the college for next year's housing deposit.

Smokey: That's too bad. I guess she should of worked over winter break. I deposited $100 in checking on Saturday along with paying the mortgage. I don't have anything. The electric called yesterday to say they shut the electric off at the house on the Feb 4 if you don't pay the $187 you owe.

Wasn't that nice? Sweeet guy.

I paid the electric yesterday. This is the month when I get slammed for keeping the monthly payments at the same rate all year. My bill was $580, I put down $200.

I'm angry this morning. I'm sick of all of this. Grrrrrr....
