...I'm still not real happy with everything. Richard woke up and helped me do a lot of things. He helped change my bed, do a load of wash, gather some trash, and various fetching chores. Maybe he's not totally selfish. He's just preoccupied. Typical Richard--the games always draw the attention from chores.

Aubrey woke up and went to the grocery store. I had already decided I would just get it done tomorrow and Richard had said he would help me so when she started talking about going I almost told her to forget it. I didn't even offer to buy her cigarettes though, and I'm not going to. I'm not even sure, at this point, that I'd let her work for money to buy them. I'm just really not feeling very generous right now.
