I have died everyday waiting for you

Breaking Dawn pt 2. Otherwise know as the movie Shawshank ugly cries at the end.

15 minutes later, I’m still trying not to burst into tears. That’d freak out my mom, wouldn’t it? I’m sure if they even asked about Crystal, I’d burst into tears. I never used to cry at movies, let alone a Twilight movie. I mean, come on. It’s Twilight. I’m pretty sure that if a long distance commercial came on right now, I’d have to leave the room.

The final movie of the saga. The final show down between the good guys and the bad guys.

Ahh the age old meet in the middle of an open field to do battle. And what a glorious battle it was. It’s the best change from the books that happened in the movies. If you’ve read my book reviews on the Saga, you’d know that the end of Breaking Dawn the book was a travesty. Simply one of the worst endings that I’ve read for a while. The movie ending was a lot better than the book ending.

This is where the tears come. I know what’s coming. Let’s show Edward how much Bella love him…

LOVE MONTAGE!

Cue the ugly crying.

Then for added pain, let’s run the credits. FOR ALL THE MOVIES.

Goddamn you all.

Where’s the Kleenex?

Yeah it’s been a long night – and the mirror is telling me to go home

Good morning. We’re under a winter storm advisory. I guess shits about to get real here. I slept pretty good last night. Again, only up to go to the bathroom, but another solid sleep.

Coffee.

I’m pretty sure I found the channel today, that’s playing at least the first couple of Fast and Furious movies. I’m watching the first one right now.

I don’t think there’s too much going on here. Everyone’s home, which means my dad will get up around 11, eat lunch and go back to sleep until 4, have dinner around 5:30/6:00. Manage to stay up til 8, and then Shady Acres will go back to sleep for the evening.

But for right now, it’s quiet, and I have coffee.

Here I go, here I go, here I go again

Good morning. Happy Saturday. I passed out last night. It was a combination of allergy drugs, melatonin, and just being tired. But mostly it was the allergy meds. I’m still stuffy this morning. But it’s always bad in the mornings. I have to be better tonight, tonight is SNL.

Last week in the local newsletter, there was a position of store floor manager at the local furniture store. I applied, and sent the owner a quick email, just asking for an informal sit down just to talk about the position a little more and to learn about the company a little more. I had that sit down yesterday morning.

Also, mom had to go to the dentist. She left early in the morning. She knew I was going to talk to the furniture woman and said it was no problem to leave my grandmother at home. I got the email saying that she was leaving the dentist and was on her way home. It takes her a half hour to get home. I got up and dressed and told my grandmother that mom would be home in 20 minutes. And left. Just on foot, because it’s in TinyTown, and it’s literally 5 minutes down the road.

It was a great talk, and I think that the owner is going to have to think about who she provisionally hired, and all that. I think/hope I impressed. Anyways, fast forward to after lunch, and my mom said that when she got home, my grandmother was waiting outside for her, without her walker, both doors wide open. Just standing out there waiting. This is a woman that can’t stand for more than a couple of minutes. Who knows how long she was out there for. I feel guilty for leaving her. Mom says not to feel guilty at all. It wasn’t my fault or anyone’s fault. It’s the dementia.

On a happy note, it’s Saturday, so that means it’s almost time for the Lockup Library Book Club. In a few hours we’ll be talking about 1922 in Full Dark, No Stars. I got the chance to sit down and read, and just about finished this first short story. Woot!

It feels like my head is filled with mud. Coffee is helping. I think that was the most solid sleep I’ve had in a looong time. Which is really really nice. Wow, just scrolling up, man, I got wordy. That doesn’t happen very often. And heavy. I try and keep it light and happy here.

You know you love me I know you care – just shout whenever and I’ll be there

Awake. Did I really sleep though? I’m so so stuffed up. I’m so stuffed up, my eyes are watering. I hope it gets better throughout the day.

The election is still going on.

Coffee.

I don’t know if I’ll be working out at the farm this afternoon, I’d say probably, but I’ll await the phone call. Yesterday we got the engine all hooked up and the radiator installed.

It was a good day. I’m not as sore as I was the day before. Happy Friday, you made it!

Hey hey party people! I’m in the middle of my 5th wind of the day, and just wanted to share a book haul that’s happened over the last week, or week and a half.

I’ve been wicked busy over the last 4 days, I haven’t had the chance to read much at night, so this weekends Lockup Library Book Club will be about my initial thoughts on the first short story in Full Dark, No Stars.

Here’s the haul, I managed to grab some pretty good ones, I think. The Chronicles of Narnia, and Murder on the Orient Express were rescued from my mom that said just take them to the second hand store.

So yeah. Good pile there! Like I said, I’m currently reading Full Dark, No Stars, what’re you reading?
