Luke fixing the roof. Got the shingles earlier.

Soup is on. Will sauté some kielbasa for it later. Added parsley, chives etc.

Are the aliens too much? Hmmm. Cozy season hit.

We’re home. My dad in the red truck a long time ago. It was great to see him and my younger brother. It rained and rained. It’s still raining though not as hard.

My youngest bro- my dad- helping at the dog trial. Beagles. Been coming her since I was born- Kids helped clean up. Talking history. Lloyd(95) who remembers the call about my twin and I being born-

Finally home. Major discount at DG. Lots of stuff today including instacart- I’m exhausted, my leg is swollen. Anyway- tomorrow evening a bonfire with s’more’s. I can relax in the morning, sleep in if I want to. Not leaving till close to noon or so. GN.

Did 2 shop
Order today- Costco- there’s Thai guy, older, 60’s? Idk he works there and he’s always not smiling- I’ve had to ask for some stuff that was moved, out of stock, a few times. I had a shitload of candy to get- I saw him and I’m thinking to myself, it says all this stuff is in the candy section.. nope- I saw the guy, I smiled and said- where you hiding all the Halloween candy? He’s like we don’t hide stuff, it’s down by the Halloween decorations- (grumpy) I said it funny wise- now, I know Irritate the fuck out of this guy, I can tell, why? Idk I had my glasses on… he says go down the aisle, turn right … see it? I was heading that way anyway.. he was highly annoyed. I said something to him on purpose, with a genuine smile. Why? Cause I could. So, Thai was an easy shop overall. Less than 20 items. 2 drop offs. I then went and got Ben’s medicine and headed home. *I purposely said something to him knowing I annoy the fuck out of him. Also, idk what the fuck, but people been being mean- I’m wearing my glasses. Like wth? The one guy at the checkout was nice- if you say, I have 2 instacart orders their attitude changes- last week I legit had to load most of my 3 shop order by myself and it’s like the cashier purposefully mixed up the order- I know when someone’s being naughty nasty towards me. Sometimes I’m like… the Christian lady be full of sin- control your ladies Jesus. They dumping their nasty towards me- nope! I genuinely smile, I’m not mean, I never ever make fun of someone’s looks and I get- she’s a cunt, bitch or whatever judged based on my looks? Hmmm, well, I’ve been living this life, people be nasty judgy and 100% wrong about me. @jack it’s leveled up in nasty at Costco actually. Degrees of responses, less helpful towards me but the person behind me gets greeted. Idk.

Seeing my dad Saturday, we’re excited. He got a new truck. Got some more fruit, apples.. etc. have some appts for the kids tomorrow and Friday. Sean’s doing fine with his slice. I feel better, I felt like total bus smushed for a few days. Doing laundry. Had some pumpkin flat bread pizzas and another one- dinner. Frozen stuff is sometimes easier. Making some business notes. Doing the day. 2 instacart orders. ✅. Gas is $4.99 or $4.59 or $4.54 - it’s criminal.

Things I think to myself having a golden retriever- my Cheez-it box on my bed- leaving the house - “Is she going to get this?” Move it off my bed. Dolly has a history of eating stuff she shouldn’t touch. The planning I have to do to keep my cheez-its. It’s worthy of- job well done Elaine. Job well done. 😉😁😂👏

Later yesterday evening- the kids went to the woods. Austin has an axe. Chopping trees - whatever- Austin and Sean were messing around with the backpack- either Austin swung the bag at Sean or let go of it and the axe gave a slice- I chose not to go to urgent care they were almost closed or the haspital because I didn’t want to close this up with stitches and get infection/ it bled but not a lot- so, I bandaged it after cleaning it out- this morning, not horrible- I rebandaged after cleaning. He’s gonna have a scar and story- lesson- don’t swing a bag with an axe with no cover on it- boys. He’s fine, it’s fine, the woods have all
Sorts of microscopic organisms I’d rather let it ooze out than trap
I have a recent chicken cutting knife event- mine was sliced deep as I was cutting chicken breast in half- no stitches and it’s a scar but no infection, I’m good. Mine was much worse. Mine was not that long ago- so, Ben got to class, Sean is cleaned up for now, all is well. Boy Scout stuff except
Swinging a bag around with an axe sans cover.

So I went to get Ben from class- I pulled up by the door- it says no parking, fire lane.. I saw a cop- I didn’t put it in park, so technically I’m standing.. he pulled up across from me, told me I can’t park - I says even if I’m just picking my son up from class? Nope. Where to park? North and south main rd. He’s like. They will tow you. You can park in the alley. I pulled off- waiting on Ben- pulled to the main rd- parking meter zone- download the app- $1.40 per hour- uhh, I needed less than 5. So I pulled to the alley -Parking enforcement guy was there- he passed by me- anyway Ben finally came around and got in the car- the cop made a face at me when I says I was picking up my son- they all know it’s culinary arts right there- so, all last year, no issue. I saw a bus parked in the same spot- when we came around the corner- all the cars were picking up students- so, yeah, need a plan. Overall, he was chill, but, still.
