bad backs
Ignoring the phone call—I ignore most phone calls—I checked the voicemail an hour later only to find out I was being offered money to take care of some children. I cook chicken, do the carpool, teach the bratty one how to shuffle cards and make them do that bridge thing, all while the mom is home. This situation is uncomfortable. I feel there is someone listening and watching as if kids don’t bring about anxiety and disgust as it is.
The little black dog was placed outside to run and play with the other two dogs, one medium and gray, the other large and yellow. The shock collar had been placed on the little black dog by it’s owner to “protect her from running into the street.”
She got shocked when she was playing close to the border with the two other dogs.
The little black dog ran inside crying, and would not come out of her crate for hours. Not even to eat or play with the medium gray and large yellow dogs. The children could not get her to come out, and asked about what happened. I suggested they ask their mother.
Finishing Comeback America by David M. Walker tonight. It is all about money in government, and how there isn’t any. Mostly its about the government spending money it doesn’t have to give us things we want that we don’t want to pay for in taxes. It is not boring, but scary.
C.P. Cavafy poems tomorrow.
Tomorrow, the children are giving presentations on “maturity”—what it means, who has it, etc. My excitement is brewing.
Physical Therapy is full of ridiculously good looking tall large men. My physical therapist is married. I wish he wasn’t. The pain is bad, but he is handsome.
Rabbit shedding her coat for springtime. Tufts of hair all over the place…
Aunt KG came by for a visit sporting cowboy boots and a big brown belt. She overfeeds the rabbit, and spends most of her time chasing her trying to pet her. Barry stops by, with beer, and we talk about everybody’s grandparents being dead, or dying. We talk about boarding school, private school, public school, all girls school, college, and then it all being over. School is so important for so long, and then if you want it to, it disappears.
I bathe frequently, to keep warm.
There shouldn’t be any more snow until I leave tennessee.
20 minutes.
