Sunday Bloody Sunday
The plan for the weekend was this:
FRIDAY NIGHT:
Spend it with Beth. When she fell asleep, work on separating sound files and getting everything organized. Put it off this previous install.
SATURDAY:
Continue splitting up files until I'm done. Then start work on audio once again. Spend some time with Beth in the evening then continue once she goes to bed.
SUNDAY:
spend time with Beth during the day and work on audio from the time she goes to work 'till she gets back (at least 8 hours.)
WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED:
Beth and I hung out a bit Friday. Got a call to pick up Becky from Ricky's. While waiting for that Beth gets a call from her Mom asking what I was doing Saturday. I told them I had plans because I did and I really wanted to get working on it all. Kelly basically said My plans were changed and I was going to help Mary clean the trailer and do yard work. I was pissed off about that because if she was going to just have me help Mary she should have just said I'm sending Mary over tomorrow and I need you there to help her. Don't even ask if I have anything planned for tomorrow if you're going to force something on me anyway. On top of that, what eclipsed all other reasons for irritation or anger was the fact there was no direct communication with me. One of the things I got to hear about was there was a weed notice that went out and all the weeds in the neighborhood we live in had to be taken care of or they were going to come through and do it for everyone and charge. I wasn't told this. There were no warnings. I didn't think there were any weeds really to worry about. I wasn't told "hey, you guys need to get rid of weeds. Evidently there are a bunch that need taken care of. There's a problem. Take care of it." It was just, Mary's coming over because you guys aren't taking care of shit. ...... shit we didn't know was in need of taking care of. So I was pretty pissed. I vented to Becky about it and told her since my day was forcibly fucked in such a way I was ditching out. Dropped her off at home. After that I started audio splitting in the evening and ended up falling asleep with Beth later on.
SATURDAY:
Woke up and chilled with Beth before she went to work. When she left I got some stuff done and left before the time Mary was supposed to show up. Becky had said the day before that she would have me run her around so that I had something to do while I was dodging Mary. I texted her and then called her about two hours after that. No response or answer. I realized I was getting ditched and figured, fuck it, I'll go home and help Mary. On the way home it started to rain so that meant all the yard work was out of the question. It was one of those rains that clearly wasn't stopping for several hours -- and it didn't. I got home and Mary wasn't even there. Phillip was and he said she wasn't there and he said she probably wasn't since it was raining. So I sat around waiting just in case 'cause I didn't want to get into something then get stopped in the middle. I loathe having to stop a project partially through. I finally got bored enough that I was dead tired so I figured I would nap 'till she got there. I woke up to Beth getting home which meant it was about 4:30pm. No Mary. She obviously wasn't coming. So I continued audio splitting and hung out with Beth. Ended up falling asleep again with her rather than working on Audio more after she fell asleep.
SUNDAY:
Woke up. Cooked breakfast for Beth and I. We ran to the store. She was doing something in the bathroom and I was working on getting audio sorted more. Was on a pretty damn good roll. I heard Shadow barking so I looked outside to see what was going on. Robert dropping off Mary. I closed the door quick (peeked out the front door) and yelled BETH! MARY! and she came out to see and sighed. I asked if she was going to help. She said, with the yard fine, but not that mess in the kitchen. Mary kept pressuring her and I to help with it so Beth came back here and called her Mom. I kept hearing her mom bitching about her, Phillip Mike and I. I finally got sick of hearing her talking shit about me while I was right here and could be told this shit. So I'm like, if she has shit to say about me, please, have her tell me so I can hear it myself rather than whatever filters down to me. I heard Kelly on the phone say "What? Yeah! Why not? Give him the phone! Give him the phone Beth!" Beth starts to cry and is like fine, hands me the phone. Beth left the room and basically Kelly was having her own conversation obviously pissed and over stressed. I was pretty calm the whole time and after the fifth time hearing we're all a bunch of kids who don't do anything I hung up on her. I was counting. I gave her 5 rude ass comments before I hung up.. haha.... I was thinking, Phillip hung up on her and Mike is dodging calls.. fuck it -click-
After that I went to talk to Beth and she locked the door. She seemed pissed at me but I guess she was just crying because she's tired of all the fighting. I came in here and sat down then when I went to see if she was OK she wasn't inside anywhere. She went outside to help weed so I went out there and asked what she was going to pull so I could help. She didn't answer and I asked if she wasn't talking to me. She said she wasn't talking to anyone and looked like she was going to start crying so I was like, how can I help you if you wont even talk to me? and went back inside. I went out a little while later and asked again and she told me. I told her that I'm not the bad guy, I just wanted direct communication and didn't want to have Kelly talking to everyone about me but me. I thought that was fair. She ended up talking again and we started weeding a lot faster.
I felt bad because I was pulling weeds and couldn't see a walking stick on one of the weeds. Pulled it's back leg off. It was kind of funny because it was trying to get away so I helped it onto the sidewalk under the stairs so it was out of the way. I've never seen one follow someone around with their head watching them somehow looking pissed hahahaha... Saw another HUGE one that looked positively badass later on.
Beth had to go at 2pm. After that I helped Mary inside by myself 'till EIGHT THIRTY. At which time I was so damn tired and my hands hurt from chemicals, I said fuck this. I got up early to work on audio and we fell asleep late. Wasn't expecting manual labor. Just mental labor. Had pills to keep me sharp for that. hah. But no. So I stopped to eat.
Whole place is fucking CLEAN though. Pretty cool. Phillip is super pissed. Mike doesn't really care. They were both MIA. I told them they're going to pay. haha. I found out through the course of the day Becky told Kelly that I was skipping out on Saturday. Which explains entirely her lack of response. Took her off my Myspace friend's list and told her don't ask me for favors anymore. She didn't respond. Oh well. Game over, there.
