Friends

B came around on Saturday and watched "Easy A"
with me, but was very quiet the whole time as she
was leaving I asked if she would take the DVD's
back and she was very curt when she said no she
was busy aand going someplace else.

So I grabbed my keys and followed her out to the
car to drive the DVD's back and I asked her if
she wanted to come next week and she went off on
me accussing me of saying things to her that I had
never said, but she then said "You people" are
having a good at me so I think she has confused
me with with someone else that was showing
concern for her.

For years she could talk of no one else but N
even though he had broken up with her in the
early 1990's and of course one can't move on
if you are still in love with a person and
continually think that you will get back
together. I was very happy when in the
beginging of 2009 she stopped talking about N.
I thought good she's ready to move on.

But then she began to go on about P in the same
way she had about N. She talked about what great
friends they were. I was concerned that she had
developed a crush on him. I did not want her to
be hurt if he rejected her. So last week I made
the remark that he was old enough to be one of
our children. I believe he is in his mid 40's.

She said that I had a dirty mind and all I thought
about was sex, and there was nothing wrong about
their being friends that she was friends with a
lot of people like K who is only in her twenties.
I said there was nothing wrong with being friends.
What she has to remember is that she doesn't carry
on about K like she does about P.

She will say things like P sent me this funny text.
P helped me pick out my phone. P didn't get my text
I think there is something wrong with my phone,
perhaps P will know what to do. There is not one
time that we have been together in the past year
that P's name has not been mentioned.

B does not have a deciteful bone in her body. In
fact she is transparent with many of her emotions.
Obviously someone else believes that she has a crush
on P otherwise they would not have spoken to her
about him. She mentioned this other person went on
at her for two hours. I beliveve that this is the
person that said that she was stalking P! and she
needed to se a psychiarist!

She got into her car and drove off in a huff.

Australia Day

I think it is great that this is the one holiday that
we actually celebrate on the correct day.

I was out of groceries, that is frozen meals today, so
I went down to Coles in downtown Morwell. I was the
fourth car to turn into the car park and there were
five cars that turned in after me as I got out of the
car and walked inside. I guess a lot of people did
not have much to do on the day.

I treated myself to $2 worth of donuts, they had yellow
icing with green sprinkles on them, I would say in
celebration of Australia Day.

As I was reaching for them another customer reached for
them, and we both said the same thing, "Why not some
yellow and green donuts?"

The young girl then said "Do you know who I am?" I did
not have any idea~! but did not want to hurt her
feelings, so I said "The face looks familiar." She said
"I'm Sharon's daughter" And pointed and there was Sharon,
who used to live opposite Kim in Thexton Street, whom
I hadn't seen in ten years, no wonder I did not
recognise the daughter, she is a woman now and was only
a child back then.

I told Sharon about Tracey and that the furneral is on
Friday. I have no idea whether she is in contact with
Kim or not.

Sharon does not look a bit different to whenI last saw
her, with the tattooed man!

My Day In Court

The day dawned wet and miserable which under the
circumstances was appropriate.

Finally I went to the local court about the fine the
council levied on me when Nathan could not cut the
grass because he had lost the key to the ride on mower
and the slasher broke.

I had sent a stat dec to the council but they ignored
that and upheld the fine, so I tried the revocation
order people in Melbourne and once again sent a stat
dec and once again it was ignored and they upheld the
fine. So I had no choice but to go to court.

Of course it had been set for months, but how was any
one to know that 24 hours earlier Tracey would die.

I went but I knew that if the delay was too long before
my case was heard then I would lose it.

I booked in and was told that my case would be heard in
court one, but there seemed to be a problem with court
one as within 1 1/2 hours there were two half hours breaks.

At 12.30 p.m. I started to cry, so I went along to the
court networking lady, Stella, and told her about the
case and about Tracey, so she went up and spoke to the
counter staff. There had been a problem in court one
and now the case was to be heard in court two.

She gave me a free coffee, and then I heard my name
called but it was to the counter. When I got there the
young girl said she had looked at the file and the
council had withdrawn the complaint, which meant that
I did not have to pay the fine nor go into court. She
said that I was free to go home. I went back and told
Stella and thanked her for her kindness. She said it
would have been nice of the council if they had also
sent me a letter saying the fine had been withdrawen.
I think it would have been nice too, but I figured
they didn't so I could 'suffer' longer.

I'm sure that Nathan and Kathleen will be relived as he
was worried that they would come after him because the
grass was not cut. As I said to him, he couldn't help
it that the slasher broke. The sad thing is that he
has still not found the key to the ride on mower!

R.I.P. Tracey McDougall

Darren texted Kim who texted Meg to let us know that
Tracey died early Sunday morning.

Darren had arrived at the hospital with only about a
minute to spare but Tracey was so drugged up by then
she was not aware of who was or was not there.

I hope she realised that she was loved by a great
number of people. Even if at times we acted hard
for her own good.

I think she went a lot quicker than expected because
she had little fight left in her.

Tracey was such a cute little kid when I first met
her, but she did not have a very happy life at all.
I hope she is at peace at last at the right hand of
the Lord where she belongs.

Don Snr's Birthday.

If Don had of still been alive he would have been 73
today. I don't know how Don Jr handled the day but
Meg seemed alright at lunch though a bit blue tonight.

When I saw Kath just after lunch she did not want to
talk about her father, she said it upset her too much.
Still it will be 3 years this April since he died and
I told her that she would actually feel better if she
talked about her father more, especially the good
things.

Slow Time

My Baby Turns 30!

Kathleen turned 30 today. Meg went up and baby sat
the kids while Nathan took her out to tea. They went
to Simon's, as he would give them a good deal.

I said I would go up with Meg to see Kath but she
said no way as I would annoy her (MEG). I sent a
message that read "Happy, happy, happy, happy, happy
30th Birthday. Love Mum."

As I did not wake up till 2 p.m. I did not send that
off till 3.18 p.m. Kath made no mnetion of receivg
it , to Meg, but Meg said that Donald did go up and
visit for 4 hours.
