2291my weekend

Jun. 21, 2004

 

 

Spent Saturday shopping, cooking, cleaning & doing laundry. I now
have $42 to last me to the end of the month. Oh well. What else is
new? I haven't been this poor at the end of the month for a long
time, actually. But it's no biggie. Bills are paid, we have food, all
is well.

Sunday was the picnic at the park. Brother A & The Rubber Pig came up. The Rubber Pig
regaled some of my friends with the lurid details of her childrens'
conceptions & whatnot. (took her '7 tries' to get the littlest one,
she made some comment about the baby's father getting tired of
fucking her so much..EW!!) But she wasn't too awful. Like UB, she
tends to do better in large groups, doesn't talk so much & doesn't
monopolize the whole group, just 1 person at a time who can then be
rescued by the rest of us.

The kids were fine. My friend Tangentsferret brought her son Sean & he
and 'Blis' are about the same age, so they played together well.

Aunt L was frazzled. When everyone was at the pool and it was just me,
her and Uncle B sitting at the picnic table, she said something about the
oldest being a 'little bitch' and poking the baby & suchlike to keep
waking her up, so the last time Aunt L put the baby to bed it was 'one
in the fuckin' morning!'--Aunt L talking like this!! OMG!! She said she
was too old for this, and that it had been a lot different when each
of us came up by ourselves for daycamp when we were growing up.

Good news is that The Rubber Pig missed her babies so much, she and Brother A took
them home last night. *Whew.*

2297A nice thought for today (Tao te Ching)

More Tao

"True words are not fancy.
Fancy words are not true.
The good do not debate.
Debaters are not good.
The one who really knows is not broadly learned,
The extensively learned do not really know.
The sage does not hoard,
She gives people her surplus.
Giving her surplus to others she is enriched.

The way of Heaven is to help and not harm."
