Long Day

[la_samtyr]

I am not exactly tired but I am awfully achy. I woke up super early this morning and finally got up and napped in the recliner for a bit. Watched "Bringing Up Baby" which always gets me in a good mood. Finally got the money mess straightened out, so maybe that will help some. Called Aunt Arlene; Uncle Joe still doesn't feel too good, so I'm not sure if I will even go and see them Monday or not. I don't feel up to fixing very much foodwise, so it looks like tomorrow I will fix chicken casserole. Or maybe potato soup. After being so sick, I can't stand the idea of anything w/tomatoes or beans (or fried) which cuts down on my usual choices of what-to-fix. Cooking for one does not lead to creativity--at least not for me.

Oh yeah, the city tried to move in a new house next door today--probably if they don't do it before the 31st, they'll lose their grant money. Heh, I wish they would--it would serve them right. This mayor is scum anyway. By the time he gets done with his fool ideas (which I am sure are being encouraged by the *previous* mayor), this place will be done--a ghost town. It's damn near there already, only a matter of time. I'd guess five years, maybe less. I hope they're happy. I could see this coming years ago but Mom and Dad grew up here and remembered the way it was and refused to accept the changes that had occurred. I know they thought they were helping me out but damn it all, I wish they had listened to me for once--just once. They never did though.
