December 27, 2008 My brother is going to join the Army now. He was previously Air Force. I haven't had a chance to ask him WHY the Army but I have always known that he was never going to be happy working in the civilian world. He wants to be but it's just not what he is most comfortable with. I see that in Kevin all the time. Once you are military, I think for the most part, you are always military. I know he won't request (if he even gets the opportunity) to be at Fort Bragg but man, it would be so nice to have my brother just an hour or so down the road instead of 12. ..... My brain is better today I think. Or rather, I should say my emotions are not so rollercoastery stupid. Hopefully, it'll stay that way. Gah. I hate that when I do that. ..... Jennifer is supposed to come by today to go through some Christmas ornaments that my Uncle was going to throw away. Some of them are super nice but after the very acrimonious split between him and his psychotic wife (whom I have never liked), he just wanted everything gone that was hers. On another Uncle note. A bad one, he's started drinking again. He's been sober for over 20 years and this first Christmas without his normal family and his wife....he didn't just fall off the wagon, he fucking DOVE off of it. Joe, when he's not drinking, is okay. Joe, when he is drinking, is like Mikey multiplied by a million times NOT GOOD. ..... And speaking of Mikey, I don't know what he's doing over there where he's living but he is not managing his money or something. He was talking about having an eviction notice and is going to sell the puppy. I am absolutely heart broken about that. I want Scooby! I fell in love with that little thing and now he's going to go somewhere else. I just don't have $200 to buy him from Mikey and since Mikey needs the money, bah! That just sucks. I love that dog. ..... So, Christmas was okay. Not great because of all the interrelations crap so I'm just glad it's over. I say that Kevin and I will host next year but you know, with the way things are, who the hell knows what's going to be happening a year from now? I can't keep up with all the day to day stuff let alone trying to make PLANS. ..... I'm supposed to start my new job on January 12. I'm both happy and not happy. It's been nice, even being so broke, on being able to just update the paper and then go with Kevin to a job site if I wanted to or just nothing at all. I haven't had a proper break or vacation from work in years and years. So, it'll be back to the grind, hopefully one that I LIKE, very soon.
