that no longer exists.
1. Working on anything exciting lately? I haven’t been able to do anything because of what’s been going on with my wife’s family. Her Dad is getting divorced from his evil, vindictive wife. The repeated phone calls from my wife’s Dad and brother are multiple times a day. There has been so much going on. My wife has had to take him to all of his many medical appointments. Last week we went down to 1 car because my wife’s car needs a brake line and gas line repaired. Our mechanic is swamped, so we wait. Meanwhile I’m trapped at home a lot, or at my daughter’s if I can get my wife to drop me off. I can’t start anything, and I’m constantly on edge because I have to hear about all the calls.
2. What was the highlight of the day today? My wife had words with her Dad’s evil wife. We tried to leave before she got home but failed. We went over to help them pack.
3. What is your favorite thing to do on the weekends? Saturday mornings we meet our couple friends for breakfast. We used to do it on a weekday, but because of all the drama, it’s been Saturdays. After our breakfast I like to go to my daughter’s to teach her my Mom’s recipes. Last month we made sauce (not gravy, my Mom’s family came from a different part of Italy). I froze it. It was for lasagna which we still haven’t been able to do. Sundays are my hang around the house and do nothing. I stay home, watch tv, and read. No leaving the house. It’s really hard to do, but I’ve successfully managed my Sunday plan since my 2nd bout of Covid.
4. What are your favorite restaurants? I find it hard to pick favorites because of the astronomical rise in prices at restaurants around us. If I had to pick, I’d say the Mexican restaurant near us.
5. Do you follow any sports? Baseball (Cubs), Football (da Bears). I occasionally watch hockey but have yet to understand the game, though I want to.
6. What is your biggest fear? Pass.
7. What is your biggest regret? Ever marrying my kid’s father. I should say sperm donor. He’s not a father when he lies to my son and tells him he wasn’t wanted and he wished he was never born. My son was ABSOLUTELY wanted by me and I definitely am so very happy he was born. Every time I hear one of my 2 special needs kids have talked to their father it makes me cry. I will be going back to court the next time I find out he’s been making contact with my kids. Yes, I call them MY KIDS because I am there for them 100%. Their father who lives less than an hour from us hasn’t seen them since a couple years before the pandemic.
8. When you were growing up, what was your dream job? Becoming an Accountant. Dream came true.
9. Do you say ‘sherbet’ or ‘sherbert’? I say ‘sherbert’.
10. Have you ever had a paranormal experience? A couple times at night I’ve seen a figure at the top of my stairs. Others who have stayed with us in between living arrangements have also seen it.
11. What is your favorite food at a cocktail party? Can’t say I’ve ever been to a cocktail party.
12. Who is a book character most like you? I wouldn’t say 1 character is most like me, but I’ve seen myself in several characters.
13. Do you read reviews before you go to movies?? ABSOLUTELY! It’s too expensive to not look at the reviews.
14. How do you feel about cilantro? I like it.
15. Have you ever cried in public? Who hasn’t? Funerals, car crashes, much more I can’t think of at the moment.
