News of the Day

Hmmmm, so what is new? Well, it's windy but not as cold as it was -- but it is windy. Yuck.

My Cousin Donna(tm) called last night and yakked for awhile. Seems that her mom is *finally* in a nursing home and (her mom) is depressed now. ::eyeroll:: Y'know, I'm sorry for her but I really do not give a damn. If that makes me seem like a cold bitch, then I'm sorry. But I have spent a lifetime tied down with caregiving and when Donna decides to whine about things, I just get tired. To say nothing of her using up my phone minutes! Grrrrr! See, if she would only get a computer, it wouldn't matter. [I spend extra on my computer because I deal primarily w/ email and other things -- we all know what that might be right? Right. ;)] And to make things even better, she is telling me how she has started studying Scientology because "so many cool Hollywood people believe it, it must be true." >>.<< Brain hurts....

So today I am debating what to do because I'd like to see a movie but I won't (tempting as it is), mostly because I am hoping that 'Slumdog Millionaire' might turn up locally and I want to be ready if it does. I also need to get some groceries and other good stuff and I should do it today. The cats have scarfed down every last bit of dry food, and it is far easier (and cheaper!!) to get a couple of big bags in Hastings. Otoh, when I am in the house, then I am not spending money -- which is a good thing, right?

I actually did some writing last night. Not much but some, and that always makes me feel a little better. I might even do a little more and get something finished. We shall see.

Sent an e-card to Char because it is her b'day tomorrow.

Back later on.

Well, I'm all for letting people believe as they will, but I have never been a big fan of it -- it just makes me uneasy and they have way too many weird rules and such. Otoh, if it means that she would finally get clean and sober for once and stay that way... *sigh* I dunno, I dunno... sometimes I swear she says this garbage just to freak me out.

Donna deserves to be put on an island with just a computer. She'll get started then! Scientology, not for me!

She says she's "afraid" of them (computers). *sigh* The Scientology bothers me, yet part of me thinks she's just saying it because she knows I disapprove.
