Another good week down…

So N got to see his daughter again for a few hours.   She came over, we went to the creek and caught some fish for our little pond, then came home and just chilled till time to take her home.  It was a good time and he had a great time hanging out with her.  She is a teenager now so she is being more forceful in wanting to see her dad.  She is a great kid and I am just happy I got to meet her.

So we are still having the wedding at the farm but have changed the location.  We have a lot to do.  We still have to finish both bathrooms, the spare room, the basement and clean up the patio area.  I was trying to come up with how much we are going to need to finish everything and I think we can do it in 400 — not counting the money we are going to have to spend to rent the pressure washer for the patio and the stove we have to buy (since we don’t have one and I think it is a bit much to make food for several people on a hot plate and a toaster oven lol).

So what that means is I need to buckle down and put in some more hours.  I was going to go to work on the weekends for the company N is working for but couldn’t make myself drive an hour an a half, work a 6 1/2 hour day, and drive home for an hour and a half and only make as much as I could make working 3 hours sitting on my butt at home for my normal job.  So alas, I turned down the job offer.

I have plenty of work that needs to be done.  It is just so tedious….and I am not good with tedious lol.

Other than that, things are going really well.  We haven’t had any fights lately.  N is going on another long stretch of no days off so we will see what happens.  I have just worked him off the bourbon…if he drinks too much of it, he gets mean.  No beat me mean…just says things that hurt.  I know he doesn’t mean them the way they sound but it sucks and he knows it.  It doesn’t happen often….and never happens when he isn’t drinking. 

I talk too much when I am drinking and say things I shouldn’t….don’t we all.

Anyway enough of this…gotta get back to work on the house.  We have 98 days till the wedding and even less till company starts arriving.

You seem to think people are more. I don’t feel that way often, I feel if someone is drunk being a prick they’re “a prick”, I don’t make excuses or allowances for people, once they lose my trust, it’s gone. It’s the same with you working the job, that’s all well and good, but I don’t know if I could trust a person to be in charge of things for me. I couldn’t allow it, because I expect people to beshallow and that to turn into something. I’d rather be the one who holds all the cards, and then graciously hand them out, not depend on someone else
