New Year Post
1-4-2011
Belated Happy New Years from your ever loving Pope! I hope my flock has a wonderful and prosperous new year.
The Pontiff Maximus worked on Christmas. As you may know, as God's earthly representative, I'm required to be available 24/7. I did delegate the week of new years to a ranking cardinal.
Things have been pretty uneventful since my last entry. There are a few events that stand out.
The Ride Request
About two weeks ago I had one of my strip club outings. Afterwards I decided to pick up fast food before I went home. I live in an apartment building on two main streets. The parking garage is gated between the two six story buildings. I park the car in the garage on my assigned spot and the truck on the street. This night I have to park on a side street across one of the main streets. I see a man walking down the main street. I keep my eye him. Sure enough he crosses the street and turns down the side street where I'm parking the truck. I decide staying in the truck until he passes me. As I'm sitting there rubbing my eyes, he walks in front of my truck and toward the driver side. He waves and I roll down my window. He asks me for a ride halfway across town. He gave me some story that his buddy got arrested with a DWI. I said no. So he asks me for a ride closer by. Again I say no.
I wonder what he was thinking? Did he really think I would let a complete stranger in my truck at 1 a.m.? Sure get in the truck so you can shoot or stab me. Hell let me save you the murder rap by just giving you my keys. The sad part is there are folks who would give a ride despite the situation.
The Cold Kittens
A few days later after work, I stopped to gas up my truck. Two kittens came running out to me. It was the coldest night of the week. The kittens appeared to have just been dumped at the gas station. They were looking for someone to take them in as they were obviously used to people. I felt sorry for them. I wanted to take them home but I have an apartment with an expensive pet deposit. i chased them off hoping that they wouldn't get run over.
The Momster Monster
Don't get me wrong. I love my mother but she is turning into a cranky old lady.
I spent the new year week visiting my family out of town. We went out to eat at a dinner buffet. It's the holidays so of course the place is packed. A party of elevne was in line before us. So it takes a while to clean and set up tables for them. My mom is going absolutely bonkers complaining about the wait. I tried to calm her down by explaining that it's crowded and not the poor lady's fault we have to wait. She wants to hear none of it.
We finally were seated. We all went through the serving lines. My mother comes back more pissed off cause the buffet doesn't have what she wants. She keeps complaining the whole time. She makes a return trip and I tell my sister this a main reason why I don’t visit often. My sister tells me she avoids Mom for the same reason. The entire evening was miserable. I couldn't get away fast enough.
The New Shrink
Upon a recommendation for my old shrink I switched to one closer to my place. The first appointment was today. He did his initial evaluation and said I was doing fine but he wants me to check in within a month.
I got him to switch me back to Ambien from Lunesta. A while back during my DW I ordeal, I started sleep walking with Ambien. My theory is the stress contributed to the sleep walking. Before the ordeal I wasn't sleep walking. So now that my life is 1000% better I want to switch back cause Lunesta doesn't keep me asleep for very long and it is expensive. I might set up my computer cam to observe me when I sleep to make sure I stay in bed.
Odds and Ends
I found Violet on Facebook. I sent her a friend request to see if she had the balls to accept it. She did on New Years Eve.
Rebecca is missing in action. I haven't heard from here since after my break up with Mary Jane but before Thanksgiving. I'm starting to get a little concerned.
Well back to work. I have to read a couple of newspapers and some magazines. I might get some real work done too.
Good night from the Pope JP3.
