Hey John, my mom and I finally
finished watching our tapes of TV shows last night. And now the season premiere for
“Til Death”
is next week, I’m hoping that for the first time in a few years mom and I will get to watch it
right when it comes on instead of taping it.
First, I’ll let you know that I didn’t throw the chair at Carol or call her any
names on that day last August. It was my dad who convinced me at his
hardest after she left later that same day that
she was really scared after what happened.
Once again, even long before our friendship ended I had never wanted
the same connection between Carol and myself that is now between her daughter, Krista, and that
boy named Tyson. And I’m surprised that Carol wouldn’t let me use the
phone and that she handled the situation the way she did after she knew that I had already lost
my confidence in doing a lot of things.
My dad talked with Raynor on the phone again this morning. He said that he wants to have a
meeting at his office next Friday (on the 12th). You can come to the meeting too if
you’re available, and if I have to leave at any time during the meeting you could come out and
sit with me in the waiting area.
My mom asked me yesterday after you left if you and I ever did talk about the other thing
that my dad talked about with Raynor when they talked on the phone last week, about me
being allowed to live where I am a few more years if I work on doing more things for myself and
try to be more independent. My mom then said that she knew you read the part in my previous
E-mail that said I don’t want to have another worker on the weekends unless it’s Carol, and then
she said quote “we all know that’s not going to happen.” She then went on to say that there are
a lot of nice people out there and that if we get someone who isn’t nice we don’t have to stay
with them. It still sounds to me like my mom doesn’t support the idea about Carol and me having
another relationship seeing how she said those things that I just told you she said.
I remember you asked me yesterday if I think I’d ever go on a vacation. Here is the response
I gave you to that same question in the message that I sent you last Saturday (on August
30th):
> ...I lost my confidence in doing hotel trips after having two vacations in a row on which I
didn’t feel well, and
> both of those trips were to the exact same spot in Washington state.
And BTW, I wonder if a plan of this year’s PNE prize home can be found somewhere online!
Anyway, here is the excerpt in which I first talked about fish magnets:
Wednesday Aug.27,2008:
> Another thing I got today, at Cam’s store, are some magnetic algae scrapers. Neither my dad or
myself knew
> that such things exist until today when Cam told us about them after my dad told him that he’s
always
> scraping algae off of my tanks, now he says that I could probably scrape my own algae using
these new
> magnetic things. And now I’m thinking that maybe I’ll go back to feeding my own fish starting
tomorrow.
And now that story my mom told me that she saw on yesterday’s Noon News and that involved
Elton John. He and some other singer, Lily White, were co-hosting an award show, there was a
bottle of champagne and she kept drinking. She said to Elton quote “I'm 40 years younger than
you, I have my whole life ahead of me.” Elton didn’t look too pleased when she said that. My mom
said that she wouldn’t want to be her when she woke up the next morning and realizes all of the
bad things she had said.
When my mom and dad were shopping at Save-On yesterday afternoon, they had bought some cans
of cat food and when the lady at the checkout was putting them in the bag they slipped. And when
they slipped, they went flying and almost attacked my dad.
And you know what, John, after having a smartie McFlurry at McDonald's two afternoons ago I
think I discovered that McDonald's McFlurries might be my preference to the DQ smartie blizzard.

P.S. I forgot to give you my cassette yesterday
before you left, I hope we’ll remember on Monday. I told you that I think we’ll be good if we
only rip side A, I don’t think side B has anything on it.
