Yawn. I am so incredibly tired today. Mmm. I want to take a nap. Maybe later. Anyway, I'm in an iffy mood today, which isn't exactly good, but it's a far sight better than bad so that's good. Did you follow that?

And you know, my Angie told me earlier that she was going to get me my JD book tomorrow, and mail it to me, but my mom beat her to it. Isn't she just the sweetest? I have to tell you, it gave me a case of the happies. Thanks, Ang! I love you, cupcake! Oh, and for indulging in a trash-fest with me too! I really needed that! LOL.

Today has been one of those incredibly busy days on the work front. I've been typing up vouchers since I came in at 8:30 this morning (well, I took a short side trip between 12:30 & 1:00, and just sat here staring into space, but let's just keep that between you and me, okay), and I just now finished (thank God). The first and last week of every month always make me cringe because it's billing time, and things get crazy 'round here. But since I finished those dreadful vouchers, the next couple hours should be pretty peaceful.

Well, Christie's pretty much been avoiding me since Friday. Oh, she'd say that she's doing no such thing, but she is. Thing is, I'm pretty much passed pissed now, and have settled somewhat uncomfortably into resigned. Anyhow, in an IM last night (which I thought was a tad insulting, seeing as she was right upstairs, and could've walked her ass down to say what she wanted to say, especially considering the context) she finally decided to somewhat address what happened, but really she pretty much just skirted the issue at hand and ended it by saying that she'd appreciate me giving her a couple months to get her shit together, but after that, she's planning to move back east because (in her words not mine) she's done me more harm than good since she moved in. Which is pretty close to accurate, but I didn't ask her to go anywhere, and I had no intention of asking her to leave. But if she has it in her head that she needs to go or she feels that I'm somehow sending off "get the fuck out" vibes, then there ain't a thing I can do about it. My only problem with her plan is Sarah, and personally I don't fucking care whether she likes it or not, her and I are going to deal with some things that she's being completely ignorant about concerning her child. It will more than likely get ugly because Christie doesn't like to be called out about anything, and when she is she takes the defensive, but she should know that I can get just as ugly as she can. I don't like to, but I can, and I will.

None of you have ever seen me get ugly, have you?

And if she does move, my dad and my papaw are wanting to move in because it's been really hard for them, and the three of us splitting the bills will make it easier all around (which is exactly how it should've been with Christie, but it never quite worked out that way). So we'll see. I just hope something happens soon because honestly, I'm tired of all the upheaval. I just want some peace, and maybe a smidge of normalcy for good measure.

Oh, welcome back Tom. Where the hell'd you go?

P.S. I don't know what my problem is, but this song...

Hey, time won't wait
Life goes by
Every day's a brand new sky
Every tear
Comes to dry
All that really matters in this crazy world
Is you and I together, baby
Just remember

The first leaves off the tree
The way you look at me
A thousand chiming church bells ring
The simple things are free
The sun, the moon, the stars
The beating of two hearts
How I love the simple things
The simple things just are

So here we go
Let's just dance
Teach my soul to take this chance
Put my heart In your hands
Out of all the moments that we leave behind
Turn around and tell me baby
We'll remember

The thunder and the rain
The way you say my name
After all the clouds go by
The simple things remain
The sun, the moon, the stars
The beating of two hearts
How I love the simple things
The simple things just are

Oh, the ocean and the sky
The way we feel tonight
I know that it's the love that brings
The simple things to life
The sun, the moon, the stars
The beating of two hearts
I love the way the simple things
The simple things just are
I love the way the simple things
The simple things just are
The simple things just are
The simple things
Just are

The Simple Things -- Jim Brickman

Had me a big teary mess earlier. Shrug.
