owwwww ! that is gonna f**king hurt. *cringes* (animal kingdom)
chilling with Cass, resting my head on her lap, watching Netflix/tv, scanning through GR and a few other sites....peaceful. Sun is setting, cool breeze blowing...I could get use to this.
I am still in the same position I was an hour and 41 minutes ago. I have no plans on moving anytime soon....Hope Cass is cool with that.
so now I am wide awake...well kinda, and Cass is fighting to stay awake to watch the last few episodes of a show I like that she is now hooked on.
...ok so is my whole family. Other than mum, I am the only normal one.
GRRRR!!! I should have never made that phone call. This is BS! ....
smh Leave it to Cass to bring me from fuming mad to laughter....I'm still pissed though!
so the day before we were to leave on this trip we went to the store to pick up a few things. It was a strip of stores on the other side of town that we don't go to often but we were in that area so it made more sense to hit those rather than waiting til we got closer to home and had to go a bit out of the way to hit the store near us.I'm sitting in the car (The windows are of the darkest tint you can get) This woman comes to her car, an older, somewhat run down vehicle and loads up her trunk, slams it shut, then flings her door open, slams it against my car. Obviously she didn't realize I was in it, even though the engine was running. I roll the window down ....a) to let her know I just saw that. b) silly me I half expected her to say sorry or something.
Mind you the car spacing these days can be tight, but there was plenty of room on either side of my vehicle to get in and out, you just needed to be careful and not extend your door all the way open.
This - I'll say lady though there is a 5 letter word more fitting for her - gets all hostile with me. I haven't even said a word to her yet. At this point I've only lowered the window and looked at her.
She starts going off on me about 'So what, if there is damage to your car, you're driving a fancy high price tag car you can afford to fix it' and on and on,....She was really beginning to piss me off. being that I am younger she jumps to the assumption that Daddy must have bought and paid for my car and I should go home and cry to him about it. I wanted to throat punch this - lady I wanted to lash out and call her some of the names going through my head. It took everything I had to remain in control. I thought of getting out of the car and then thought better of it.
I morphed into that mode I sometimes go to idk what to call it, but I very calmly looked at her and said "I'm going to assume you've had a very bad day, and you're outburst has little to do with me and possibly more with how you feel slighted in some way, you probably work very hard for what little you have and live pay check to pay check, I get that, I can sympathize, But I am not judging you, we've all had bad days.... I think you should know however that my father did not pay for this car, not even one dime. I bought this car, I make the payments, I pay the insurance, I also work sometimes 60 hours a week. So weather I have the funds to pay for the damages you caused really isn't the point is it?" (during this whole time she is talking over me or commenting on what I've said before I've even finished)
With my last sentence she stood there shocked for a minute and then went on to say a whole bunch of other rude things she through something out there about respect well that made me laugh. She got even more infuriated that I was now laughing at her. "You talk about respect as if it is owed to you, yet you showed none to me, you damaged my vehicle and then go off on how somehow deserved it cus I am some spoiled rich kid, when you don't know one bloody thing about me, my life or my family, for all you know this could have been a rental." (she's lucky I wasn't some gang thug) ...she continues her tirade as she is getting in the car and now searching frantically for her keys. By this time Cass is returning from the store and about to get in the car. The psycho lady is still going on and on. Cass looks at me and then at the psycho lady as if to ask ...'is she talking to you' I just give Cass the signal to get in the car.
I start to roll the window up and then stop and hit the switch to roll it back down. I look at the Lady she finally looks over at me and I all I say is "Have a Blessed day, go in happiness." roll the window up and back out of the parking slot.
Cass is still sitting there like wtf, I am gripping the steering wheeel so tight my knuckles are white and I can tell Cass is uneasy. I go up the road a bit then pull over and get out. I circle the car to look at the damage, good thing I didn't do this while there cus I might not have been able not to throat punch the B...lady I let out a growl of frustration. Cass gets out and I tell her what had happened and she sees the damage....smh
so I calm down, somewhat...
2 days later we are driving down the highway and there is an accident, everyone slows down. Traffic is stopped, I stop but the car behind me fails to, he slams into us, knocking us into the car in front of us it ends up being like 5 cars involved. We were all ok, except the car.
So today I call the insurance co. they are debating weather or not to total the car or repair it. The damages exceed 14k which is almost half the value of the car....so get off the phone and I am not happy.
Cass goes, "still upset about that ding the lady did with her door?" smh all I could do in that moment was laugh.
& That friends is the unspoken prejudice. Judgement of the have and have nots.
255, I do not like the number 255, so why oh why is it still 255?
I wonder what she would do if I walked over there? Of course I'd only be doing it to get a rise out of her but....nah something tells me she's not in the mood for that type of joke. Not today.
I'm getting that look, the one you get when they say something and then wait for you to come to the same conclusion as them...or to have some sort of brilliant insight. I'm just gonna stare blankly as if I am stupid, maybe they'll go away...
Lightening off in the distance. At first I thought it was fireworks, quite sure its not. Storm is rolling in.
"There is no reward without risk." ...give me a bit to ponder that, I bet I can come up with something.
Btw, I predicted accurately. Richard did not care to hear the dream.
Another headache. Not a migraine but still this sucks.
Lol. Told you. I've ruined hearing dreams for him.
Mum made the mistake of giving me and Alex her card and sending us for provisions (fancy word for supplies) we need to stock the galley before hitting the sea.....oh and the liquor store was right next to the grocery store... she just saw the bill.
You spent that much? XD Sounds like you got a problem, man.
what? we needed some chips, and and...yeah, if it looked good we bought it. I got mum a pie...I didn't check prices
oh wait you thought we spent $xxx.xx on alcohol? Good God no. Just picked a bottles. yes idek what pie kind it was but it looked like mum would like it.
Bahaha that makes way more sense then. Lol. That was what it sounded like in your earlier post (or at least that's how I understood it). Part of me is glad Richard doesn't like pie, because he's a hella good baker and I would be so fat....
my bad. Nah we loaded up and ..well what mum called junk. BUT we got the essentials too, she asked for milk and eggs we got that....but umm yeah spent a lot more than she had anticipated. Mums the bomb! she came back yesterday with water guns, nerf guns and....a kite. she tossed it to me and said. "here. go fly a kite." It's a dragon!! I named him Fred.
I fear I may have reverted back to like 13 yrs of age this week. ...errr no lets make that 14.
That sounds like so much fun
We've shooting ppl all day. I think she's regretting it now. Took the wave-runners out today. Gawd its been so long since I've ridden one. Pure Awesomeness! ...until my brother tried to crash into me. then we decided to use the noodles for jousting poles....that didn't work too well so we just chased each other him on one wave-runner, me on the other, trying to beat the hell out of each other with them....then we switched to the water guns. High speed water chase and shoot out. Not gonna lie, childish and Fun.
well that bloody well sucks....this makes me sad.Trigger jammed on the nerf gun.
awkward moment when your mum gets up and joins the dance floor,
ice sculpture? smh NO! absolutely NOT...what a waste of money.
wifi is down! we're all gonna die!! No netflix tonight...the end is near. ...can you feel that? the air is getting thinner. ...ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!
ok wifi is back, all is right with the world. bullet dodged
it'll be bloody after its cut off but still
it's personal
