Yesterday was a pretty good day. It was fairly busy. Bossy Man broke yet another dictaphone and wanted me to give him the old one to see if he could fix it. I told him that I had given it to my son when he was home in April and it was not fixable. He was not too happy about that. Well, I say, don't break the damn things to begin with and we won't have any problems, now will we?

Anyway, so he has no dictaphone. So no files. He said he was going to call me with dictation over the phone but I never heard back from him. He kept saying it was going to be a pain in the ass day, but, again, I never heard from him.

So, whatever.

I was NOT in the mood for a pain in the ass day anyway. I was TIRED!!!

I went to the DMV and got my new license taken care of. It will be two weeks before it comes in.

So, in the meantime all I have for ID is a piece of paper from the DVM with my temp license on it. Think that will get me far?

Nope.

After work I went to go get some cash out of my account since I now have NO access to my money. That actually could be a GOOD thing. LOL

Then I went to the Social Security Office, where I was chastised for having my SSN card in my wallet to begin with. Apparently that is a no-no. Oh well. The guy was really nice and the security guard was a hoot!!! He loved the Viking flags on my car. And an acquaintance was there, working. I had no idea she worked there.

Then I went to the library where I was able to get a new card. The same frickin' day. If only the DMV was that quick. Then I went to Sam's to bring Alex the cotton candy I promised her. She and Aeris finished that stuff in like two minutes flat. Sam sent them upstairs to play and try to get rid of the sugar high. ha ha ha Good luck with that!!!

I gabbed with Sam for an hour and half, and then I headed to Wally World to pick up some stuff I needed. Light bulbs, shampoo, hair dye, etc. Oh, and a bit of food.

Went home. Dave had an appointment last night. He didn't really need to make the appointment for LAST night, but could have gone today, but he wanted a really good excuse to NOT go out with Doug and April last night and this was perfect. He really is not too happy with them still. All over my wallet. I keep telling him to just drop it, but the man is stubborn. Apparently April and Doug both tried to call him last night and he refused to answer the phone.

I did some stuff around the house, dishes, laundry, straightening up, etc. Then I had dinner. Worked on laundry a bit more and watched some TV while relaxing.

I called my mom and talked to her for about 45 minutes. Everyone is going to Minneapolis on Saturday to go to the Como Zoo. I said I might do that for the day.

Oh, and I asked her how things went with Jim going to Superior to stay with MY family.

Now, I find that kinda odd. My EX, going to Superior to stay with MY family and doing things with them. I guess it went okay and Mom said it was nice to see him. I am not going to ask him NOT to see my family, but I still find it quite odd. Mom said that Jim was doing things with the family that he hasn't done in YEARS. He was actually participating in family activities. Something that I could not get him to do for a very long time and one more thing that led to our break up. I have two theories on that. 1.) He is finally realizing that he has not been the most fun person to be around and he wants to change it; or 2.) he is trying to show my family that he IS the same man he used to be, and they will tell ME and then I will go back to him.

Either way does not matter. It's just not going to happen.

Back to last night: Around 9:15 Dave called to find out what I was doing. We talked for a bit and he said to get my ass over to his house and go to sleep. He knew I was tired.

So, I finished up what I was watching and then headed over there. I was having a smoke on the deck when April and Angel walked by. April said that they changed plans AGAIN for the weekend. The original plan was to go to see a band in Crosslake.

NOW the plan is for us all to go to Lake of the Woods to fish.

Yeah. I already think I am not going. I already made tentative plans to go down to Minneapolis. And I really do not want to be gone the whole weekend again. I am far behind in my housework and getting my own stuff done. I am the only one in the group that works steady hours. Everyone else are self-employed and make their own hours. I only have SO MUCH free time to do what I want and need. So, weekends are pretty sacred. And I am already losing a day by going to the Cities to the zoo. So, I would rather not go.

I told Dave about it and his first reaction was that it was do-able. I was like, WHAT??? I thought you were so pissed at Doug and April that you didn't want to go see this band with them, but you want to spend a whole weekend with them?

I knew it was only a matter of time before he got over being pissy with them. Just didn't think it would be THAT fast!!!

Anyway, I asked Dave about that he said, "I didn't say I was going."

Okay.

Doesn't matter. I don't really want to go. I have things to do. And after spending the last three days with them, I am just not really excited about seeing them so soon again. You know what I mean?

So, Dave was on his way home. We gabbed for a few more minutes and then he told me to go to bed because he knew how tired I was.

I grabbed my book and curled up in bed and read until he came home. We visited for a few minutes and he went to get some dinner in him. I fell asleep really quickly and knew NOTHING until my alarm went off this morning.

and here I am. At work again!!!

With just a BIT more energy than yesterday.

I have no plans for tonight, except maybe mowing my lawn and getting more stuff done around the house. I am looking forward to a nice, quiet evening.

But with Dave around, that can be something of an elusive goal. He is always running.
