Columbus Bound

This time it's not me that's bound for Columbus but Jim. He'll be working in Dublin starting Monday and will definitely be there through the week. It may be longer. I'm not mad about it because it's either that or nothing. The company he works for has little work for anyone until May. The job(s) in Columbus are going to Jim and another painter because they're the only ones without a "family". I guess I'm not family. Just kidding...I know they mean kids. Again, I'm not mad about it. It will suck a bit because walking the boys will be up to me but a little alone time is always welcome. I'm sure I'll be bitching about it in 2 weeks when he's still up there but in this economy, I'll take what Jim can get. 

Speaking of his company, the really sucky thing is this: They had a HUGE job with the Hammond North condos. However, due to a couple fires a couple years ago, there's a lawsuit and any work is on hold indefinitely. It not only sucks for Jim's company and the poor guy that was hired specifically to work there and will be put on unemployment or let go but the residents of the condos had to vacate even though their units were unaffected. What a bunch of horseshit. 

All of the above means that Jim's home again today. He did get a few hours in yesterday but only a few. I've told him that he better get some shit done around here, namely in the basement. He did take all his dozens partial paint cans down to Matthew 25 for donation the other day so that's something but I need more. I told him last night that when I get home today, I better see bags of garbage ready for the curb with a LOT of the junk he's managed to stow down there. It's so annoying. For instance, I went down there looking for something the other day and found a box with just literal garbage; crumpled paper towels, paint stirrers, junk. WTF!? It's infuriating.

Can I tell you I hate Wednesdays. Here's why: The kid that stinks - well, that doesn't clear it up does it since there are so many. The kid that stinks of piss (and I hate that word but pee just doesn't convey the stench) goes directly to work on Wednesday which means he doesn't change into clean clothes in the morning. So when he gets to school after work, he's in the stinky clothes that he wore in from home which have apparently been pissed in. It is so offensive. I just don't understand how he has a "job" when his stench is so awful. It may be that he changes into work clothes and then his home clothes after his shift. Ugh...I can't wait until he's not in my class anymore. Which is so mean but nothing has worked in trying to alleviate the problem. Not even telling him point blank that he reeks. Ugh. 

Dinner: Air fryer lemon chicken, broccoli and either couscous or rice. 

And that's all. I'm running a bit late so better mosey. TOMORROW'S FRIDAY!!!! Later!
