BE KIND TO EVERYTHING THAT LIVES.

 
 
 
hot out today around 90.  had planned on leftovers from yesterday until i started feeling ill from all the pills.  lots of calls over the weekend.  stevenr, who is in school again (grad school) all bad though.  whatever happens to him, he brought upon himself.  will write it somewhere else later.  he siks this big fat, psycho guy on people for no reason at all.  then he says he doesn't know why he does this.  hmmmm, how about you just like screwing with people, same with your loose lips sink ships thing.  he says he always gets into a lot of trouble when in the southeast.  hmmmm, then don't live or visit the southeast.  life is simple.  or, how about you do it on purpose and i don't believe for ONE second that you don't.  especially when the stuff he says isn't even true. 
 
then the other steven's ex, calling from nowhere.  wth?  lots of calls on that.  also talked to my aunt sue AND HER ex, who i used to think was the bad guy, but from what is going on, i am now thinking aunt sue is the bad one.  which explains why their two kids used to side with him all the time.  i used to think they were either oppressed or brainwashed by him and his weirdness.   NONE of my cousins keep in touch with her or them at all.   they hate her as much as they hate steven (and even that i didn't comprehend until RECENTLY).  Aunt Sue is in a big feud with her grandchildren, which i already knew, and i assumed it was the grandchildren being selfish and obnoxious to her.  nope.  instead, its turning out to be her.  wth?  another shock.  Aunt Sue's father was such a great guy and one of my godfathers (so we are gumbadi, sue is my aunt's sister (my aunt is married to my mother's brother).  Their mother was extremely heirarchacal european upper class way.  Hard to comprehend that sue would end up bad because she was always so nice to me -- her mother was a piece of work, and lived like it was 75 years ago-europe until the day she died in the late 90's.  she liked form, even after form was barely used anymore.  my aunt's husband had no respect for her at all and i could never understand why, until this weekend.  he'd say stuff like, if that is an example of europe upper class, then i can see why it fell.  her other behavior besides clothes and manners and multiple languages is pretty crass.   
 
there are four sisters (were).  two were raised by sue's father, but only sue is his biologically.  the other two, popped into the picture later on.  she insists people did that back then, everything was appearances and things were hidden.  one of those two sue knew in tennessee and thought it was hilarious that her half-sister was there amongst everyone, and no one really knew about it.  like a  welcome to the modern world to the generation of her parents.  i think sue enjoyed that whole thing - like really ate it up.  that sister died in the late 90's and i don't think anyone knows who her biological father was.  her kids always said you can't trust aunt sue and used to avoid sue.   the other half-sister is in europe, my cousins prefer her over aunt sue, but don't associate with her either.   she's in norway at the minute.  and i'm like, who do you "like" of all of them?  they shrug and laugh.    
 
i said to my aunt sue, does uncle mark know about the other side of you?  and she says no, not really.  that will be the next blow up.  it gets tiresome all this crap.  if i had to live around it, i couldn't.  i'd leave anyway.  explains a lot of why she was always on steven's side, if they are two of a kind, when my cousins were so against him - like seethingly against him.  steven would say to me, they don't approve of him.  i never knew what to think of any of that.  steven has more money than them and back then, everyone had the same education and were in college.  they were careful to never take anything steven offered them because they never trusted him.   they claim sue is the same as steven - same vices, but sue is quieter about it.  they say worse things than that, but that is the gist of it.    
 
i ate tropical fruit and my stomach is subsiding.  still have one pill to take later tonight.  what a boring life this whole week will be.  it will all center around getting these pills down without getting sick from them.  i have a feeling its too many pills.  i have been using cola soda to get rid of nauceousness and it works perfect.  too bad because i was avoiding coke because it has brown coloring and brown coloring is cancer causing.  grrrrr.
 
had another bottlefeed kitten come in and sent it over to rn.  she said it was dying when it got there.  EMBEDDED with fleas and barely able to take formula.  told her about br's hedge idea as well, he pays some guy $80 to prune his hedge.  i love pruning hedges.  what a neat way to make extra money.  also saw glenn who says that ups pays their employees $100 per month for each year they are with the company, so its another company you can get a full pension from after just ten years (or less) with the company, plus they give you a 401k just like all companies.  good to know.  add it to the list.  glenn's best friend runs the ups in this area.  he says its only an e license written test.  no cdl at all.  can't really see me doing any of that, but good to know.  i called tna, who also stopped by with her granddaughter (who is FIVE) now, omg!  tna is in her 40's.  because she is another one who expects all the large companies around here to close down and head to mexico.  who knows?  a lot of people think that. 
 
e called as well.  she caught a feral mom and 3 babies - there is no way to tell how e will do with them, she's good at rescue only 50 percent of the time.  seriously.  she says bud fell and broke his hip.  omg!  he was already using a walker from his stroke and knee replacement which the physical therapist screwed up MORE because she never READ HIS CHART and didn't realize he had a bad knee BEFORE his stroke and everything she had him do made his knee WORSE instead of better, so now, no more knee!  wish she would sue the hospital.   wth?  another new rescue girl called as well, i think from the college.  she is also doing bottlefeeds with a friend of her's.  all of a sudden it got busy, odd because its usually like this in april and then again in june, not in july.
