It's 2008 already?

Eh, I really didn't mean to abandon this blog. I've been genuinely busy...
Over Christmas I was apt/cat sitting for a friend. So I would spend one night there, then one night at home. It made things easier on her cat, but my 2 kitties were not liking it one bit. I enjoyed it - because it got me away from my roommate - which is also an ex boyfriend... Have I told that story? Eh, kind of a long story. Basically met him in June 2001, he moved in with me Sept 2001... I kicked him out Nov 2001. And then (just as friends) he moved back in with me Jan 2001 for 2 weeks... then I don't know where he was for a while... then met his daughters mother... and lived with her fro 9 months - she was 7 months pregnant with their daughter and he had been cheating on her. Him and the new g/f moved in with me in Sept 2003. That lasted about 2 months. They got their own apt next door. Then she was pregnant, but not by him, she moved in with her new b/f, he moved back here in Jan 2004. Lived here for 4 months, moved in with another g/f. Came back a few months later. Then in Oct 2005 he had an abdominal aoric aneurysm, almost died. Had major surgery to repair the aneurysm and also to graft up the torn aorta. Because of the long term damage done to circulatory system, he has neuropathy (numbness) in his feet, and has to wear special braces. He can walk, but it too effort. In all he spent 3 months in the hospital and then 3 more months in a nursing home for rehab to relearn how to walk and function.
Blah. So now I have this life-long pity for him. Even though 99% of the time I can't stand him at all. He is a user and a loser and just annoying as hell. I want him gone from my home more than anything... but at least he is paying rent this time! (He's never paid before, and he owes me thousands of dollars.) I haven't told my family that he is back, they never understand. They always think we're dating again... ha! NOT!!

What else...
Melvin... He's been in Houston with his family since Dec 22. I hate that I miss him. He texts me everyday. Calls me 'baby' 'sweety' & other nicities. Says he misses me. At the stroke of midnight on New Years eve I text a virtual 'kiss' to all my friends, and to him and with his I said "Happy New Year, and remember I care about you." He responded with a kiss and smiley and says he cares about me as well... Ugh. But I don't care about him. I love him. I know I've said it a million times, but I really need to talk to him. Lol... I think when he gets back to town (in a few days) I will just tell him that its a new year and I need a new change. As things are we have this pattern that we do everytime I see him, and it's getting very very old and boring.

I'm going to my Granny & Gramps' place today. Haven't seen them since Thanksgiving, and I have a Christmas present for them. Granny said she'd make some chili. Yum!!
