~ I have a friend (acquaintance) coming to visit me from KS this weekend. I realized the other day we've never really been around each other sober. She was in the group of friends I met at the bar I went to a lot. I only met her a month before I was moving, but she's been the only one from that group to keep in touch. I'm excited to have her visit, but it'll be interesting to see if we have anything in common without liquor...too bad she gets in at 9 am on Friday or I'd be drunk the whole weekend to avoid any sober awkwardness.
--I'm wearing a camo John Deere hat today and feel badly about those who posted that it reminds them of their XHs.
--I'm ridiculously excited for my date with 28 tonight (squee!)
--I'm really sluggish. Not sure if it's from lack of running or a new medicine I'm taking
We did. Apparently, he is very mentally ill and lives around here somewhere. They can charge him with indecency, but to be honest, he isn't a danger and therefore will not be given the help he needs. ITT; Lost cause, he will be back next month max, I think he *may* be a case of a coworkers, as well.
I have no interest in working at all today....none. This has been a problem all week.
I'm possibly having drinks with two different dudes this weekend...who are both still legally married.
The debate last night. Mitt claimed when he came nto office there were no qualified women applying for certain positions, so he had binders full of qualified women made for him to pick from (this is not true, the binders were made before he was even elected by a bipartisan group But it is really funny and has sprung up funny gifs/etc.:
I don't want to do anything today. It's my longest day at school. Ugh.
A friendish type person is severely bipolar, with some other OCD type stuff mixed in. Her H left her about two years ago ( with good reason), however, she was awarded custody. She refuses to take medication and relies strictly on therapy. Which is awesome, if it worked.
The problem is homegirl goes into manic/depressive states, which mixed with the OCD about, renders her pretty much oblivious to her fucking child, much less other people. It is all about her for about 24-72 hours, mean while her little 4 year old girl, G, is pretty much left to fend for herself. I've flat out told her if she doesn't get help and start taking care of he child, I'm calling the CPS and her EX, who luckily isn't a dbag and loves his little girl, but has no real proof of the neglect. Meanwhile, I live down the street, and G came to our house at 11pm two nights ago wondering if she could spend the night because "mommy was acting weird and stuff again."
Yeah. I'm pretty rageful about it, right now.
Andplusalso, i called her mom that night and homegirl didn't even seem to really acknowledge where her child was. We let G spend the night, called her gparents the next day, and left her with them. As I said before, I'm THIS close to calling CPS.

I have bad cramps and just took iburprofen on an empty stomach, waiting for my hard boiled eggs to be done so i can scarf them down.
My mom is in cataract eye surgery, I'm waiting for the call to go pick her up.
I received a random text yesterday from an ex who dumped me hard 15 years ago and then again this summer we hung out and he dropped off the earth again for the last 3 months until yesterday he wanted to know if I wanted to go play poker, wtf!
My stbx text me at 11pm asking if I was available to talk, I didn't respond took a sleeping aid and passed out, ugh!
I need to change my oil, get a new headlight and Inspections and Emsision this week and I just printed all the neccessary Jiffy Lube coupons, thank internet!
I've been drinking a lot less and I'm really proud of myself!
Pretty much how I feel. I figured he wasn't a creeper and more along lines of mentally ill, but our contact at our police department confirmed it. It makes me sad and angry to see the glaring flaws in our mental health "safety nets."

If the child is being neglected I strongly urge that you call CPS. CPS only means they will investigate and go from there. It's in the child's best interest. Who knows it may mean that your friend actually ends up getting the help she needs. And at least you know you have done your part which hopefully will help with your rage.
I went out with some friends for dinner last weekend, and it turns out that our waitress was from Indiana! I told her what town I'm from, and she said, "Oh, I bought a motorcycle there once! From a little person with a foot fetish." That is random. It's also probably the coolest thing I've ever heard about my hometown!

This makes me so sad!! I hope you can get your friend help and especially her daughter in a safe environment, how terrible!!

I guess I'm more upset that this friend doesn't care enough about her child to go get the help she needs. She has been told by her doctor, her therapist, and damn near everyone she needs to be regulated somehow, if only for her child's sake. I know I must call CPS, since this type of situation is unacceptable, but damn. It just sucks.
I think American Horror Story is VERY creepy. I've even found myself looking over my shoulder at times. Especially with the latex suit guy. But I LOVE IT. So glad it's back on tonight!
I'm excited for MCC's date. I need to hear some positive date stories b/c I.GOT.NONE.
