I hate this economy. I love hope. I wish I had family close by. I wish I had family. My new nail polish is not “subtle red” but should be named “Dexter’s theme”. My daughter is a freshman in high school…and the same age I was when I met Lee Mannix. I miss laughing with Lee Mannix. I need to wear my glasses. I need to find my glasses. I need a new car. There is a sign in this hospital reminding everyone to remember the dementia awareness class and that makes me giggle. For those that have worked with me in the past, I’m wearing the purple hoodie today. The purple hoodie is all about comfort. There is a section of this hospital that smells like lunchtime at Ross Elementary. I think the “people you may know” section on Facebook should be re-titled to “People I am trying to forget, never want to meet, never liked, need to stay out of my life, or not sure how we have 110 friends in common because I don’t know who the hell you are” section. My son is moving to the dorms in 48 hours and I predict a weekend spent crying over his baby pictures. I want Taco Villa, Rosa’s, Texas Burger, Whataburger, and other restaurants only available in Odessa, Texas. Sometimes I get sad when I think my kids never knew the joy of Sherwood/Prairie Pete Park…granted, all the equipment smelled like urine and I sprained my ankle CONSTANTLY falling into prairie dog holes. Sometimes I am happy when I think my kids never played at Sherwood/Prairie Pete Park. I need to find a new job. I need to start listening to the advice of others. I wish I were a better friend and had more friends…sometimes it is just difficult to be alone. I do not want another ex-husband. I am no longer speaking to half of my ex-husbands and it is a sad thing I can mean that. Seeing the impact diabetes can have on the human body (by working in a hospital) scares the living shit out of me. I’m happy I am not diabetic. I have about $7 in change in the bottom of my purse. I need about $11,993 in change to buy a car. I wish I were in Portland right now. I’m going to dye my hair dark red.
