No Room at the Inn

Well I went back to work this week. It was slow as expected, although I spent quite a bit of time trying to deal with an "impostor" my-space account that someone put up and used the picture of the Chief of Police of the City I work in. LOL. It was actually a pretty funny site. Next to his picture was "We are here to beat your Ass". Then a 4 minute clip of police brutality, some policemen beating the shit out of someone!!

So after about a dozen e-mails to my-space and our attorneys the site came down. The photo was taken off the City web site. People don't realize how easy it is to just steal your identity, camera phones, scanning, we sites. If it exists anywhere in cyberspace or in print it can be found and used.

Looks like the house sold. We are going back with the offer, counter offer game right now. But I think this will be it. I will soon have 60 days in which to find a new home and then start a new life. I suppose that should be a countdown I shouldn't miss.

Jacob got his grades. He failed every class but 1. I was appalled, so was he. I dont think he realized he had done that poorly. So now he is on academic probation. If he doesnt get his act together he will be kicked out, and have to come home and go to jr. college. This I would not be happy about, especially since in about 60 days I will be moving from my spaciouss 2500 sq ft home built on 4 lots, over a third of an acre. To a 1100 sq ft home built on a postage stamp. No room at the Inn. That will not be a "good thing".

Home Sweet Home

Got back late afternoon yesterday after way to many hours behind the wheel. Arrived in Chico right at 3 pm on Friday, just in time to get Jake and head back down to Sacramento for the evening. We checked into the hotel which was across the street from the state capital, went to dinner and then tok a nice walk around capitol park. The capitol building is not very impressive, but the park was! There are tons of varieties of trees. All marked. I am not sure of the history of the park, but there must be a reason that there is such a wide variety of trees planted there. We also saw the FIrefighters memorial, which is dedicated to all the California Firefighters who lost their lives in the line of duty, and the Vietnnam memorial which is the same. California Vets who were killed in action.

Back in the room, which was nice, on the 20th floor and a corner room with a view, we got a movie. The Pink Panther with Steve Martin. It was funny, although I fell asleep halfway through. That was the 2 martinins with dinner.

Left Sacramento at 8 am on Saturday and rolled into the driveway at 2. I hate all the driving and am so happy to be home with my dogs, and to have Jacob here too. We went to Candices for dinner, and to hang out at the pool. D and the brat came over too. I must say since the stint at diabetes campt, the brat has mellowed quite a bit. We will see what happens when he gets back from Golf camp, which he is being shuttled to today.

I missed D. Hadn't seen him since Friday morning, and have not had sex for several days! So I am ready. I am hoping he will come over and spend the night tonight after he gets back from San Deigo, and dropping of the brat and camp.

So another week of being able to sleep together. It will be hard after getting used to it, to stop. I am hoping we will still be able to figure out a night here and there.

Back at work tomorrw. It doesn't seem like I had a weekend. Oh well.

Endometreosis

I have suffered from this for years. Since I was diagnosed at about 17 years old. Had several surgeries to remove growths, including one to remove a tumor the size of a grapefruit when I was 23. I had an ectopic pregnancy when I was 30. I never tried to get pregnant and have a baby, but I have been told several times that it would have been hard if not impossbile. When I was really young, early 20's it was just the opposite. If you get pregnant, the endometriosis will probably go away never to return. Well I got shafted both ways, no babies, and still in pain.

This month, ie TODAY is especailly awful. Felt like a searing pain in my gut. Stayed home with a heating pad and lots of advil. I usually have something stronger in the house, but I don't today. fuck.

To complain some more tomorrow I have to drive to Chico to pick up Jake. I am looking forward to seeing him, but not to the drive. The plan is 7am to Chico, arrive about 3pm. Pick up Jake, drive to Sacramento, about 2 hours, stay at the Sheraton, drive home Saturday morning. I just hope I start feeling better!!

So I won't post agiana til Saturday or Sunday. He will only be home a couple weeks before he moves back up to start the Fall semester. I can't believe he is a college student.

Too hot!

I am back after 5 days on a little adventure. I drove the boy up to Chico state, moved him into the dorm for a four week class. Stayed with some friends that nght is a little town just outside of Chico. We have know each other for 16 years, I hadn't seen her in about 6 years. maybe even longer! THen the next day drove to Nevada City. That is where one of my best friends live.

Hung out for a few days and came home on Thursday. It is hard to go back to the mountains and them leave. It was really my home, the only place that I actaully felt like I was at home. Driving home was bittersweet. I missed my dogs, my lover and my house, but also realized that soon I will be moving. THe house has to be sold to settle the divorce, and that I am alone now in my house.

THe last couple of nights have been really wierd. I will wake up in the middle of the night, and realize that I am all alone in the house. I don't know if I feel lonely as much as I feel alone.

Home Again Naturally

Ok Rosalie!!! Sorry. I am now posting. I created this in order to be a bit more private about my goings on, as I suspect my ex-hoeband was lurking in the deep dark depths of the web, using my blog against me.

SO whats up. I am happy. I am getting laid. I am in love (lust). I will have to sell the house as part of the divorce settlement, which I am ok with (I think). It will be final by November 3rd, as long as we can reach a settlement. It is looking good for that.

Young son will be moving to Chico State for a 4 week summer school course on Sunday, gone for 4 weeks, back for 10 days then off to collge. Which means I will be all alone in th house. Jus tme and the pooches.

Not sure yet how I feel about it. I already miss Jake and he hasn't even left!!!

I miss my blog friends so I think one of my priorites will be back to regular posting. It is hard to get back into the habit once you let it lapse a bit.

Summer here in southern California has been to f"in hot! I am not looking forward to my electric bill *sigh*.
