Tapioca Pudding

This summer doesn't feel like our other summers here. My hag of a gay sis came to stay for the week. That's the same. Hubby was gone from us most of the week, came back for a day, and then took off this morning to be gone for another few days. That's the same. Had a huge fight with my grandfather. That's the same. But my mom and 3 siblings are here, my dad isn't around and I'm totally enjoying it. That's different.

Things are really cool between me and my dad. Cool as in not that friendly. Of course, he did take my water bottle, but it's also that he isn't around. I've been trying to get around on my own. Yesterday I did pretty good. I looked up how to get to Toys R Us in Manhattan and actually went there. When I got on the subway, I used the transit map to track where I was going and what stop I needed to get off at. That was a first for me and I felt really proud of myself. I got a bus and subway map from the library and now I feel more confident about using them.

I had a dream that I'd gotten a job here. It was a vague dream, can't really remember the details, but I have been considering employment here for some time. Anyways, that remains to be seen.

Lata.
