Monday Morning Musings

Wow, I am so sore the last two days and I wonder if it is from driving a stick shift again. Jami thought it would be too much for me with the fibromyalgia and back injury but I brushed the idea aside but now I wonder. Not much I can do about it but suck it up now. Surely I will adjust!
I tried and can't get out of babysitting today so I will have to figure out how to get everything done today somehow. Jami needs a lot of help with finding some organization to help with part of their rent and finding proper clothes for her new job. It drives me a little nuts that I can't help anyone more but we are barely making it ourselves. I even finally made myself stop giving money to beggars for now. It is so hard to pass some of them up in the winter! I saw one on the corner with a sign last night that I would have given money to if I could but I had no cash on me. That is another thing I do to protect us. I don't carry cash.
I bought Jessalynn a coat the other day because I was mad at Jessica's boyfriend. He offered to buy her a coat in exchange for ninety dollars of Jessica's food stamps knowing that a coat would cost less than forty dollars and it just made me sick that he was taking advantage like that of his supposed girlfriend. Plus the fact that he has been living here for several months and we helped to bond him out of jail and he hasn't offered a dime to help out or pay us back. I think he is a lazy, self centered, pot head and would be very surprised if he loves Jessica at all.
I finally got another email from Uncle Paul and this one really made me feel good. He is definitely not treating me like a pariah like the rest of the family. His letter is very friendly and loving. I am so glad!
