The Big Hiatus

Help! Somebody stop me from this "The Big--" theme! Actually, almost anything can be given the title "The Big" Something and it'll work.

To quote the great film Miss Firecracker, "Busy day, busy day." I tried to take S's car into the mechanic but they did not have the part and told me to come back later. So I took the baby to get kolaches, then to see my cousin the dental hygienist where we waited over 1/2 an hour since they were running late. But we got the baby's dental decay (courtesy of and thanks always to the whore!) evaluated and the baby is going to need a cleaning, a filling on 1 cavity and some composite substance put on her 2 brown, decayed front teeth. My cousin told me to bring the baby by the office next week after hours and she'll do the cleaning for free. As far as the rest, we'll just have to work out a payment plan, although our lawyer did fire off several pissed-off faxes today to all the atty's including the doddering old fool about how we will expect 50% reimbursement from the whore for all this dental work and also she better send those documents by this Thursday or else!!! At last, our sweet lawyer's inner shark is coming out!

So then I picked up Taco Hell for the baby and Auntie J. and her son and dropped the baby off. The mechanic still wasn't ready for S's car so I rode the rail into work--just what I wanted to do in 105-degree heat index heat! Now I'm here at Job #2 where it is nice and cold and for once, I'm loving it.

Ok, the big hiatus: I spoke to Jimmy. I said, "We need to talk", a line I know no man wants to hear from a woman! But I laid out how the Friday night thing is just not working for me and my schedule, and also that I don't want to play for him and make money if he's not making money. He said he completely understood and said he would try to line up some early Friday happy-hour gigs or some Saturday night gigs that work better for me. I implored him to please keep me posted, and reiterated how much I love his music and how impressed my dad and friends were with his songwriting also!

So now I'm just down to 4 jobs for the summer. After the summer is over and I quit teaching this season's skin care classes, I'll be back down to 3 jobs. I feel better already.
