countdown

I found a book at the library, written by Richard Pelzer, David's younger brother. If you haven't had a chance to read "A child called IT", I highly recommend that you find it and read it. The man is a miracle, and has a really..loving...look at life. I used the word "loving" 'cuz there's no real way I can explain this man's look on life.

In other nooz, Psycho B screwed up. All in good intentions, but she screwed up anyway. She saw the yellow stains on the carpet (like the stains tumeric would make) and ran to the bathroom, where she knew there were cleaners. In her attempt to clean up her mess (I'm pretty sure it was from her cooking) she used the first bottle she could grab. Well, the yellow was cleaned up, bless her heart, but she didn't notice the newer pink spots on the blue carpet. We narrowed it down that she grabbed the All-purpose cleaner...with bleach. Poor kid can't win for loosing. Psycho A was out of town until last night, and the first thing she sees is the pink spot. I swear, I could see the dollar signs popping into her brain. She apologized for yelling at me right off of the bat, but the house was left a little dirtier than she'd like and the idea of having to pay for a new carpet is having her hunting psycho B down like a full fledged locomotive.

Now there's a point one has to make between being a bitch and being understanding, but firm. Psycho A has refused to acknowledge the difference. Now I like her as a friend, and I think it takes a while for her to really admit a friendship, but I can understand why her kids are with the "lying, cheating ex" instead of her. My saving grace seems to be the fact that I'm hardly every home. I think I'm heading out to King's Diner in the morning, just to go through the motions of getting out of the house before 6 am.
The cop downstairs is one of my coffee regulars, and she was laughing over the realization that while both Roomies were out, I sure was home a lot more. ( heh heh, I neglected to tell Psycho B that A was gone for a few days...kinda sorta on purpose. She's sweet, but she doesn't shut up!)
