I'm having a moment, I need to vent.
We've got this lady, Kathy, Who has been riding the cab for years. Her husband drank himself to death a few years ago. She lost her job when Red Lion layed off almost half of their employees. She worked for a little while in construction. But mostly she's been following her husbands footsteps. She has gotten a job at Gold Dust West as a pit boss. She's been there for some time now. Found a new boyfriend and has been doing better. Last week either wed. or thurs. she had a real bad stroke. Sat. morning I was told by another driver that she had died. It upset me a lot more than I thought it would. I didn't get much sleep. Had to dispatch Sat. night for 13 hours. Got home after 7. Didn't get much sleep due to lack of time. Sunday I'm told she didn't die. as a matter of fact she is breathing on her own now is getting better. Talk about a mind screwing. So, my head is whirling from all of this.I could not wait for today to get here just so I could be alone for a while and sort out my head! I was not the nicest person Sunday at work being exhausted and all. Today, on my way home from paying the cable bill, I'm coming up 12th street and there is an SUV and a pick-up on the side with lights on and flashers going. I get up to the front of them and they are standing looking a dog one of them hit. I just started crying. I can't blame them at least they stopped instead of driving on like most do. I'm very angry at the owner of the dog. If you can't take care of your animals you shouldn't have them. I know, I've been there.
My emotions are raw. I had a friend call me today and try as he might i wouldn't tell him why I wasn't my usual self. I think it upset him. I listened to his current problem (he has more than most women i know) and told him it wasn't as bad as he was making it out to be. But I wouldn't know because marriage and divorce is not something I have my own experience in! So, he sounded upset when we hung up.
On top of that I'm missing my son..........
