Well, ok, time for a good update. I went to see Papa yesterday. Drove 1.5 hrs. there and 1.5 hrs. back to see him for about an hour. Well, he's old and tired and he just can't take the stress. He doesn't know me from Adam although at times he looks at me like he knows he should know me. Bittersweet but it was still good to see him.
We met at a park in Sulphur Springs and all that pollen is doing a number on me today. Had to walk way too far to get to where he was and way too far back to the car. My lungs are really hurting today so I decided just to take it easy today because I have alot to do tomorrow anyway.
Other news:
1) Looks like M&E are moving back to the area in July. I'm not sure how I feel about that. I'm a little afraid that she has idealized things and expects something different from what she's going to get. I don't want her to be disappointed. What makes me think so is that she said it's time she started cooking the holiday dinners and we came to her house. Well, there are lots of problems I can see with that, beginning with the fact that hardly any of us are comfortable with everyone she considers her family. I'm not going to be put in the same room with QB, for instance, and neither will Aubrey. Richard is more diplomatic--he'll be in the same room and even be nice but the stress it causes him is evident even weeks later. No, we'll continue to arrange our holidays as always and she can do what she wants to do. I'm not going to be pressured into going somewhere I don't want to go and seeing people I have no interest in seeing. I also finally told her I'm disabled now. Haven't heard back from her on that one and since I flat out told her she was in la la land concerning the "holidays at Mel's" theme I may not hear from her for awhile.
2) Looks like Aubrey will definitely be moving to El Paso when her boy get back in town. I'm going to miss her but I think she's ready to do this and I wish her the best. Only thing is, she better have the truck paid off by then or it won't go with her. So far, she's paid $25 out of $800 on it. She owes me so much money that I know I'm never getting it all back but I'm firm on this truck thing because she's never successfully paid for an automobile before and I think it's high time someone held her to her word. I laid out the bucks so she's going to pay me back or I'll just keep the truck. After all, I like the truck and if she doesn't want to pay for it then Richard could always drive it. So until it's all paid for it's my truck and it stays here. Period. Love the girl, but that's just the way it's gotta be.
