A Little Blue
Rick, unless he gets a new car (used), he will lose his paper delivery job! I am a little bummed about it because when the car died Wednesday, having a cracked enguine block, it was NOT his fault that his car died completely. Please pray that Rick finds a car, thanks.

My Day Today
Today, until sundown was Sabbath. Rick and I went to church with the Pastor and his wife and then we spent the afernoon at their house for lunch. I did not get home this afternoon until about 5 p.m. when Pastor dropped Rick off at home (at his place) and then I was dropped off at mine. As soon as I got home, I realized that a headache was coming so I took a dose of Tylenol. The next thing I remember is waking up t0 the end of a movie in the Disney Channel. It was a little before 9 p.m. this evening when I had awakened from a afternoon nap. I do not even know what time I had fallen asleep except for the fact that it was between 6:30 – 7 p.m.. I have been up since and decided to get on line for a while since I did not get on line at all yesterday. Tomorrow!

A Quickie…
I have had time for myself for a couple of hours. I listened to music and danced to the beat, lol. I forgot that Columbo was going to be on at 8 p.m. so I came into the movie twenty minutes late. RR (Rick) and I talked when he arrived home from walking from my place to his. His car is still on the side of the road not far from our yesterday afternoon’s destination…the funeral home. My friend MEE is going to help get Rick’s car back to Janesville in the morning so Rick will be here about 7:45 a.m.. I hope Mark does not back out OR I WILL BE VERY UPSET AT HIM but I know he does not back out unless something comes up. MEE is not one of those kind of people. He is always there for me in crisis and in times of needing a friend. I feel bad that Rick’s car is elsewhere! I will be going to bed shortly.

A Recap
Today, despite the bad weather, we had a good day here…Emilee and I. It was quiet, until 9:30 a.m., THEN THINGS BEGAN TO HAPPEN HERE and excitement HIT THE AIR when hung up the phone with my stepmom. I quickly undressed out of my pj’s, hopped in the shower, washed my hair and cleaned up the rest of me, got out of the shower, dressed and worked on my hair to make it look nice. Somewhere before I showered of course, I called RR to tell him of the great news of my parents upcoming visit in an hour and a half, lol. When I got out of the shower and dressed, I had learned, by the flashing light on my phone that another call had come and it was my sister calling to let me know the family wanted RR to come along and meet him, so I called RR back and gave him the news in an excited tone that practically drove me to the sky. At 9:30 a.m. I was already there so what am I talking about?, lol. I do have to admit that my day was fantastic!

Lunch With Family in AR
Recapping from what happened this morning I got a phone call from my AR family telling me that they were an hour and a half away from Janesville and wanted to do lunch with me. At 11:30 a.m., my parents arrived, with my sister Kelsey. RR and I were leaving the apartment when we got to the 1st floor front door. LOL There they were, waiting patiently and looking about. RR took some old newspapers to the dumpster before meeting us in the front. I was so excited about my parent’s visit that my heart was raising and the time was going so fast and furious, lol. Having lunch at a family restuarant just down the street called Eagle Inn, my stepmom ordered a Julienne Salad but did not get to the salad yet when she got full. Dad had a few onion rings and a Pepsi. KK (sister) had a Gyro sandwich and diet pop, RR had a French dip sandwich with fries and pop, and I had a salad, which was boxed and brought home for supper), cajun salmon and mashed potatoes and a Seirra Mist pop. It was VERY good indeed. Even my stepmom boxed her salad and I will have it for lunch tomorrow after my workout in the morning…if I get there, lol. My visit was great in regards to my family. They loved RR! YES! Now they are visiting family in Rockford, Illinois before heading back to AR and get home by Monday. I HAD FUN!!

A Quickie
I am going to do a few things today, beginning at 2:30 this afternoon. RR and I, spending time apart as well as together, went to lunch with two friend this afternoon and we had a good time. I have been keeping myself very busy. I worked out this morning at the RAC and I feel real good – even after eating a good, healthy lunch. I feel I worked out good today! I want to write more later since I will be very very busy after 2:30 p.m. so it might not happen until after 12 noon tomorrow. If I get a chance to tonight, if the weather cooperates anyway, I will be back. This is the week of a lot of thought and writing and some venting. Sometimes I do not know what to say because my life should be private too. I think things are going to change again as far as what is written here. who knows right now. LOL It is in the phinking stage right now once again. Another change is brewing! Later…

My Life Today
Hours later, I still feel uncomfortable about what happened. RR and I even went to Nellie Mom’s place to talk to her shortly about what happened just minutes before…a few minutes after my neighbor left. What frightened me even more was the fact that she (the neighbor) was in the hallway near my place when RR and I left my place to go to Nellie’s for a short visit. I was feeling, at the time this happened, that I was being listened to from the hallway and i was also wondering too, if this neighbor went to another tenant’s apartment – one of the troublemakers anyway. I tihnk I am feeling a little better about the earlier situation. I just can not trust this one neighbor anymore even more so even though she might be in need of friendship…friendship, what is that?? Life With RR Life with RR is fantastic… We really enjoy each other’s company and yet we get our space and privacy even if I am the only one who wishes to have it. RR is not posessive or anything like that – he just does not need his space or privacy oftten. He does understand I need my space since I am a young woman with a life that does not always include my man all the time. RR is very helpful to me and my friends. I began working out at Riverfront athletic Club August 1, 2003 and he has made sure I have been at the club working out every other weekday morning, gotten me to all my appointments that I have had since I have been back, and made sure I have my errands done by the end of the week. RR is wonderful and caring. Our relationship is doing good! My “Little”Red Friend! Wasn’t just yesterday I mentioned about my period? WHen I had run to the bathroom last night, I found that my period had come! I hate having colds and such. Now my friend KAW and I have our periods around the same time. Arrrg! LOL My Dad’s Friend and “Hardware Girl’s” Aunt I had gotten an e-mail from a friend who lives out of town with her husband and children. It was an update about her dad in regards to his health. For a few years my friend’s dad had a blood marrow transplant that took immediately a few years ago but just recently lab work and tests have proven that his illness has returned. Reading that e-mail practically tugged out my heart out of my body. I felt crushed! I have spoken to RS this evening and he is feeling ok and that he is doing his best.. Then, after getting that news, RR and I were looking at the newspaper and read that another friend of mine had lost her aunt to a long battle of breast cancer. My heart broke in understanding since I had my friend Christine Kane die of breast cancer in October of this past year. Understanding Life More? What can I really say here? Am I understanding life more today in regards to death and dying. A few years ago I was so afraid of death even though it is a part of life. I did not want anyone I was close to to die even of terminal illness. Today I am not afraid of death if I am to die myself but losing those I love dearly I have a constant heartache. Does that make sense? I think having my period makes me more emotional and I tend to write more one day to the next! LOL Having my friend’s dad now ill with cancer again, losing my friend Christine to breast cancer that grew into her bones and ?organs?, my Grandpa Clarence dying in February to Alzhiemer’s Disease, my Nellie Mom’s brother dying of a heart attack but did have cancer…cancer has been surrounding me lately! I am 33 years old now and at that age where I am beginning to see a lot of death and illness come around me whether it is happening to me in a personal manner or to a friend’s family or someone I know very well. No matter how I look or feel about death in regards to self, I still do not want my friends to die or their loved ones. My heart still aches something awful!! Do I make any sense? Probably not, LOL 🙁 🙂 A Long ONE! Today’s entry is a long one! Sorry about the length!
Today was a fairly busy day all day long. In fact there was one thing that happened earlier today that bothered me to a certain point, but my day was very good and filled with fun. RR and I gpt together this morning and picked up KAW to run an errand and have lunch while Jimmy was at work. KAW and I bought a lot of needed school supplies for the upcoming semester August 25th, 2003. The, my treat of course, RR, KAW. and I went to Perkins for lunch and chit chat a while. It was kind of hot outdoors so we were staying as cool as possible indoors. After we got done eating, we helped KAW get some medication for her husband at a nearby pharmacy, then we stopped by her place for a while before RR and I left to go back to my place since I had an appointment at 3 p.m. right at home. Before my appointment began at 3 p.m., I got on the computer here to make sure all my bills were paid this month and all the expenses for yesterday and today, and sunday, were ALL taken care of when I realized that a bill was not taken care of last month (deducted from my account)…that was taken care of and handled well this day. All my bills are taken care of and I have enough spending money for August. School will begin shortly, YEAH!
About that one thing that bothered me was the fact that my neighbor came up to my place the minute RR left for home. Her visit, because I have been wantin to tell her some things but I could never get the heart to, made me feel very uncomfortable and I did not want to have her here whatsoever. Shortly after she came, the buzzer went off and I answered it. It was RR buzzing me because I had forgotten something in his car earlier in the afternoon. I found that a bit relieving and very helpful as I was not very comfortable having my neighbor there.

Errands, Workout, and Chores
Now, with RR’s help, with the trash out of the way, the dishes done, the groceries put away, and all my errands done, RR is back at his place resting and I am home witn Emilee for the rest of the evening and night. I enjoy having a manfriend again but I need my space and time too, which is hard sometimes because I want to spend most of the time with RR. If I was with him all the time, I would not know how I would react since it has not happened yet. I watched two hours of Murder, She Wrote, all reruns these days since that program has been put in syndication in the late 1990’s and decided to shut the “boob tube” off for a whilel since it has been on all morning long. The silence is fantastic. I hear common tenant noises once in a while, Emilee’s collar and bell and ID tags jingling. and the on and off air conditioner now and then. Also, I hear traffif go by down on the street. The AC just kicked back in. LOL Have I written enough yet? LOL
At 8:30 this morning, RR picked me up to go do laundry but I had to go get laundry money first so we did that, then the laundry. i went to the RAC to workout for an hour, then RR and I went to Aldi’s to get some groceries…lost of ’em, lol. After I went grocery shopping RR and I came back to my place and p[ut the groceries away, relax, and take care of two bags of trash and three boxes from Aldi’s we used for the groceries. RR paid for my groceries this time as I paid for four meals Saturday evening at Ponderosa. KAW and her husband have their ninth wedding anniversary Wednesday, AUgust 6, and I wanted to give them something for their anniversary early in case we do not meet on that day, which is more likely no. Today has been a good day…even though it is muggy and hot and expected to rain – possible thunderstorm, rrrr! That is why I am on line now and will bathe later since I have not bathed or showered since my good workout this morning. I feel so good physically even though I do feel the muscles tense from working out Friday morning, lol. No pity here! I am glad to have the discomfort of physical exersion at this time really even though I grunt and groan and move like a turtle these moments of movement, lol again! I am planning, for sure this time, to keep the pounds off and the weigjt down anytime and so on. Forget the time I have my period I will work out then too and forget about seeing red for an hour! Ok, I am getting gross here so I better stop now – Kristi smiles.
