Today was a bustling day. As normal on Tuesdays, I had a therapy appointment at 10 so I had to drive hubby into work at 830am. We stopped at Kum and Go for air for our back tire and a breakfast sandwich for hubby. I had been good and gotten a yogurt at home and eaten that. I got a drink but they were out of teas so I got Squirt instead. I wasn't really in the mood for soda but it was better than nothing.
So I drop hubby off at 9am, then I figured I had enough time to drop by Judithmary's and return the dress that she lent me to wear on Saturday. She had sent me a message on Sunday that she needed it back right away since I wasn't coming to the bbq at her house on Sunday, when could I get it back? So I told her I would drop it off today. When I arrived at her house, Karen and her friend were just leaving and Karen told me that she was dropping out of our group. It was time for her to move on. I know she has been very busy with her parents and her grandchildren so I told her I understood. She told me to call her sometime for lunch but I probably wouldn't as we aren't that close and I don't know her that well.
I rang Judithmary's doorbell and when she opened it she answered the phone so she didn't talk to me. She just opened the screen door and put her hand out for the dress. So I handed it to her and left. She may be a little mad because I didn't come to the bbq on Sunday. I don't know but I will call her later in the week to say hi.
I went to therapy and talked to Steve. Told him the good news that I have been able to be on the computer doing email or facebook without having to have the tv on for background noise. There isn't stuff going on in my head that I need to counteract in order to concentrate. And it's been this way for a couple of weeks now. He said that is good and congratulated me on that. Then I tell him I have been watching this series about women in prison and got really involved about this Women on Death Row series on YouTube. It was fascinating, the mentality, the similarities of the women and the differences from myself. A whole culture that is going on that is not of my world. One thing I noticed that almost all the women have been physically or sexually abuse and none of them received help for it. They formed addictions that continued until they got into prison. Their maturity levels seemed to have stopped in their teens or childhood. And the ones that didn't do anything to better themselves, make an actual effort, in prison or outside, ended right back in prison. A lot of the women who committed the crimes would change their stories in prison so that they now blamed most of the crime on another person and didn't deserve to be put away for life or to be on death row.
Steve told me to be careful of what I was watching because that lets in a certain way of thinking and fiction can become our reality. Now I am interested in exploring this topic but I have checked in with myself and know that I could do prison, if I had to. But I can't ever seeing myself intentionally committing a crime that would get me put in prison. I'm too white bread, plain and fluffy. I told him it's just a current interest and a thread I am following on YouTube. I like prison shows and they make me feel like I can take a peek into what my nephew is going through. The one I write to.
After I was done with therapy, I headed down to the DMV to get a duplicate title to my car as Farmer's needs that in order to release the money they are paying us to total the car. It took 2 hours for them to help the 12 people ahead of me in my catagory, but I finally got up to the counter and got my title. Then I got my form for hubby for his handicap placard and the form for hubby to sign saying he is giving me authority to get a new title to the car after I put it in both our names and out of my ex-huband's name. That will only cost me $7.20 to do, so I will do that next week.
When I was out of the DMV, I drove over to hubby's school and we faxed the title over to Farmer's. I called Rod and he told me he got the fax and the money would be in the account in 24-48 hours. Yeah! Then hubby signed out and we went to lunch.
Now we have been very tight on money and I have been watching every penny so we could go get some new tires for the car and pay off the payday loans, but hubby had gotten in some "found" money and wanted to go out for a really nice lunch, so we went to Texas TBone, a steak house. They have an express lunch where you go in, order, get your glass, get your own drink and sit down. About 6 minutes later, they bring out your food. We both got New York Strips and I got a baked potato and he got fries. We both ordered the meat rare, because we like it bloody but their rare was a little too rare for us so we only ate half the steaks and brought the rest home for later.
Hubby dropped me off at home and went back to work. He called me at 4, saying he was running a quick errand for work but wanted to go to Hooked on Books for a particular book he has been looking for and did I want to come. So I said yes, and about an hour later, he picked me up and we went to the bookstore.
He found the book he has been looking for for the past couple of months and I found a couple of books. We left, got copies of the house keys made for Frank and went home. Now we are going to watch Maggie, a zombie movie with Arnie in it.
Tomorrow I have an appointment to get tires put on the car and drop hubby off to pick up his truck for the Denver Doctorate Symposium he is hosting on Thursday and Saturday. He does have Friday off, so Yeah!
