Aliens love brains......and cheese

Wee-bit reminded me today that Aliens love brains and cheese (referring to an episode of Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends). And then told me, "Scientist are making brains, too." "Why", I asked. "To put them into people's heads so they'll know stuff." she replied. The insight of my 6 year old terrifies me.

So what's new in the land of Mrs. Just Me? Lots of nothing. I mean, I could rant for days and days about how irritable I am due to outside forces that tend to screw up plans but ranting wont make it right. However, it WILL make me feel better. So I shall rant! But abbreviated because I really don't want to spend too much time on it....

- Brandon went back to work for one week after his foot had healed. Then his boss stopped working him. He hasn't worked in 2 weeks and JERK BOSS refuses to answer his calls or lay him off.
- Because of the above, we're back to being financially strapped.
- Brandon and I are both cranky because our plans to relocate to Washington keep getting thwarted by outside factors (JERK BOSSES, STUPID VEHICLES, UNPLANNED HEALTH ISSUES!).
- I've given up on relocating to Washington for now.
- The uncle that molested my cousins has said that he would like to talk to my cousin (the one I have re-established contact with) but wants to do secretly without telling his mother (he still wont confess to her of his guilt).
- I discussed the above with my mom who informed me that my cousin isn't my cousin.
- Brandon confirmed yet another dark family secret.
- Wee-bit stuck another damn fuzzy in her ear this past week. Don't kids stop sticking crap into orifices' after a certain age?
- After reviews at work, a (female) co-worker has began to display jealous behavior. We're in 2 separate departments but report to the same Director. I apparently am one of the few who received a perfect review. She apparently did not receive a good review and is vying for his attention.
- Not really catching on to said jealous co-worker being jealous, co-worker semi-burned me this passed week by divulging information to my boss that was strictly confidential (Not that he didn't know but he didn't know everything). I knew that it wasn't something I was suppose to talk about but thought that she could be trusted. WRONG! I wanted to kick her face in but have managed to refrain from physical violence. Live and learn.

So there it is.....the long and the short of it.

On a positive note, Brandon is now thinking that it would be in his best interest to go back to school. He's thinking that computer stuff is where he'd like his next career to be and it has proven to be a sound field to enter.

Wee-bit is still doing well in school. She had a small relapse when Brandon went back to work but since he's not working again, she's back to doing well. We don't get it but it's all good.

Work is so damn chaotic that I rarely have time to stop and breathe. But changes are abound there. It'll be interesting to see where it goes. The only part that sort of sucks is that I do have to dedicate a lot of time and energy to the place. But since it's nothing like what Big Gig was like (they actually appreciate your hard efforts), I don't mind putting forth the effort, time, blood, and sweat. I know that it will pay me back in two-fold.

As far as my spiritual self or my artistic self, they've taken a back-burner to the rest of my life. Making sacrifices today for a better tomorrow is how I look at it but it's just difficult for me at times. There are days when I really just want to take a walk in the mountains or listen to some ocean waves crash upon a beach. There have been a few days when all I could think about is wanting to be left alone to clear out my head. And I'm sad that I've lost the desire to draw or write as much as I used to. Creativity that isn't being used is a dis-justice to the artistic soul.

Anyway, I need to get ready for bed so that I can make it out of bed early enough to drive 2 hours to my mom's house tomorrow. I'm kinda' looking forward to seeing her.
