True Frustration
I did not have a good day today. In fact, today sucked. I would love to go into detail about it just to vent, but I can't. Why? Because my non-child support paying ex-something, has been lurking on this board and has been copying some of my posts to take out of context and use against me. This is why there have been no updates posted on that front.
"But, surely, you must be able to vent to your family?"
Uh, no. My father is up to his ass in wedding preparations and dealing with 16 different unions affiliated with the commuter rail industry in MA. My mother and I got into a lovely disagreement because I forgot to check on the level of tobacco in the house, because, *gasp* I don't smoke anymore, and I spent my last check on *gasp* food for the pets and toilet paper and diapers! My thought was that, since there were no immediate bills due (for a change) I would use this last check to stock the house up in an attempt to be able to use subsequent checks on *gasp* bills. So now there will be no money until Monday at the earliest and that is being transferred from my PayPal to checking. Big deal, right? What's PayPal for if not to use as emergency cash? Well, I had $39 in there which was more than half the cost for the tricycle I want to buy my son for Christmas. So, I guess I'll just have to keep stashing those nickels and dimes and hope mom starts her Chantix (which is sitting on her dresser) sometime before the next bill comes due.
Before anybody asks, her income is only on the 1st and is spent on rent. SSI pays shit. Our arrangement is she takes care of the rent with her SSI ad I take care of the rest of the bills. And don't call me Shirley.
"But, surely, you have friends to vent to and rely on?"
Oi! What did I just say about that Shirley shit? Now, which friends would those be? The ones with families and problems of their own? The ones that are out of state and being staunchly child-free, do not wish to hear about the trials of a single mom, because let's face it, I brought this on myself?
Today has been one of those damn days that you feel like you need to fuck somebody just to get the time of day.
You ever have days like that?
