I had another bad night with trying to get to sleep. I was in the bathroom just about every hour. I thought I would crack my jaw with yawning but it didn't seem to matter how tired I was. Sleep evaded me until right around 5am. Then, I was woken up around 1:30pm by the arrival of Sheepie! All by herself! Not as a passenger with someone else. That was a surprise.
Her dad, who came to her house (from Georgia, no less!) for Thanksgiving, came bearing a big, surprise gift for her. He bought her an SUV. Not a new one, of course, but it's in good shape and it's ALL HERS! Now that she's licensed, she can have one of those. It's in her name and that's always a thrill. That first car. Even if it's not what you might have envisioned/hoped to have, it's still better than being dependent on others to get around. Now she wants to find a job (which shouldn't be a problem with Christmas hires, if nothing else). At least that gives her money in her pocket and also enables her to buy Christmas gifts without depending on Teach.
She's having a problem with his sister, who is a total waste of space as far as *I* am concerned. Although she gets to see her kids, she lost custody of them for neglect. Her parents now have custody of them and they are so much better off because of it. The gal is a total b*tch, however. She acts like her s*it doesn't stink but is the last person who should even attempt to call someone else *useless*. She has a decent job but can't pay her bills due to her drugs and just her frivolous spending habits. But this isn't really my story to tell. I have just been privy to this info from many different viewpoints over the years. Plus today I got to hear all her ugly texts for the past couple of days. Talk about someone that needs to be excised from Sheepie's life. It's just tough since she IS Teach's sister.
Sheepie brought over a really cute picture of Baron in the Beast's lap that she framed as a nice remembrance for him. I thought it was so sweet of her. She had already been told about the Beast's fostering plans when she first got here. She didn't think it was a totally bad idea since Teach surprised her with a pup very shortly after her dog died a couple years ago. She didn't think she would have done it so soon afterward but it ended up working out great for her and she now has two dogs....LOL. That will NEVER happen to us. Neither the Beast nor I have ever wanted two dogs at once...thankfully. No word yet from the people *investigating* our credentials as good fostering material but that's okay with me.
The Beast bought one of those gloves that you can pet your cat and/or dog with that gathers up the hair so that it doesn't end up all over your furniture and floors. Sassy likes it but the Beast was kind of surprised that he got so little hair off her. But he also hasn't swept up or vacuumed much of her hair either so I guess she doesn't shed much. Certainly not like Baron. He shed hair just walking through a room. Shocking for a short hair dog. I think what he had in mind when he actually bought the glove was really the dog, not so much Sassy.
Well, I am going to jump in the shower while the Beast is at church and, hopefully, get some of my pajamas dried, too. I should have gotten that done much earlier. Just feeling lazy on another cold day. Brrrr!
Love you all. Be good. Be kind. Be happy most of all. ***Hugs***
