14. I like to cook. No friends here in a little town.

Oct 2012

My child may come up for a couple hours. She eats w/her dad's family. Hubby is electrical engr by training, loves to put up lights.

Can't get friends from city to come see us. No gas money, working, no reliable car.

Hubby's sons are busy working, or too far away (tulsa) with no reliable car. got nothing to talk to the younger one about. He only cares about heavy metal & fantasy movies and black t shirts.Highschool dropout who works at walmart.

The one that works and makes good money spouts anti-obama bullshit and can't understand why I am mad at him for spreading lies. He's naive & almost 40 but quite immature --raised by a stupid fundie mother. I stopped communicating w/him in June. His girlfriend is a Dem but can't understand critical thinking either and defends his stupidi
ty.

Last t-giving I was in OKC sitting on a stool in kitchen cooking. Panting violently when ever I got up & moved a few steps. Made dressing, sweet potatoes w/marshmallows & choc cheesecake pie. Didn't get to enjoy it. Went to ER at 7 pm, had pulmonary emboli (blood clots in lungs) & uncontrolled diabetes, either of one would have killed me within 24 hours.

My folks are dead, I am an only surviving child w/no nieces or nephews.
Not expecting any guests on t-giving or xmas due to above reasons.

On my fence I will put up my posters: Isaac Newton, christmas baby, and AXIAL TILT IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON w/my beautiful painting of the earth and sun and the 23-1/2 degree tilt of the axis.
