The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

I am not a fan of things that change. Still happens, change. I don't have to like it though.

Same ol' same ol' this week. We had a huge downpour of rain. I don't watch the news often but when I went grocery shopping the clerk told me that the sewage treatment plant had overflowed into the lake. Bad news for the people of Augusta but for us on the Carolina side of the lake it is just fine. The lake hasn't been this high in months.

Of course it also means that it rained hard enough for sewers and septic tanks to back up and our water table is quite high. How high?

On Friday my husband's kitten passed away. It was sad to see. We never did quite know what was wrong with her. She was very small and right around Christmas she had a stroke or something; I thought it was malnutrition from being a runt because food brought her around but she's not been quite right since. We had fed her and babied her and although she seemed to be developmentally stunted she did seem to be progressing nicely. Playing with the other babes and watching videos on the computer but her movements were still really jerky and everything was about food. She attacked everything with her mouth. Friday we came home from grocery shopping and she was laying on the floor unresponsive and cold. It was quite upsetting especially to him.

When he dug a hole to bury her the hole filled up with water at a 6 inch depth and that was at the highest point of the property. Usually the hole has to be dug about 2 and a half to three feet in order to hit water.

The grocery trip was good. I am very happy with my club membership and my handy meat grinder. The only thing we run out of anymore is fruits and vegetables.

Spent yesterday at the pathetic excuse for a mall so that my daughter could engage in some all important socializing. I had my first Chick-Fil-A. I have been here 6 years and never tried it. I was starting to feel left out. It looked like crap but it wasn't half bad. I now understand why people put pickles on their chicken.

I have a lot of work to do around the house. I finally got approval to start ripping out carpet. YAY!!! I am so tired of that damn carpet!

I guess it has been a while.

Stress, worrying, more stress, concern, additional stress, planning, having the plan unravel, worries about communication. All normal stuff.

One interesting thing. During a conversation with my Grandma on her birthday, I learned that she had in a round about way found my two cousins who have been unseen by my family for nearly two decades.

They are both bitterly estranged from my Aunt(their mother). I can understand this, I lived with her for a few months and I can't stand her. It must have been horrible growing up with her.

So far my attempts to contact them online have fallen flat. I am not sure if I should continue attempting to contact them since they may not want to associate with their mothers family at all. It seems unfair to my grandparents but fairness is not a judgement that I can make.

I wish I could at least get a Fuck Off but no.
