lunch: chicken

later: protein oatmeal
took her to the park. got to hear bitchface's boyfriend yelling at bitchface over the phone, while bitchface was unaware. it was an enjoyable little snippet into their life.
was feeling depressed so i wrote about it. it'll stay locked away most likely. it doesn't do to dwell on mortality, but such is my lot in life.

took her to church this morning and learned her kindergarten teacher had passed overnight. texted bitchface and although it started out benign, she then hit me with:
ex: well, i will be able to get there Friday around 4:30 or so to get her. I want her to come, but I want her to want to come and have a good time and not be upset. I know you're trying to make sure she knows she can call you, but it makes it hard for us when she knows she can just come home. I would prefer for it not to be an option for her when she is here-- we can have fun and have a good time, and she has to be ok with being away from you, whether it's with me or my family or whatever. I'm not pointing any fingers or saying you are doing anything wrong... I'm just asking that, before she comes, you maybe talk to her about being a big girl and having fun while she's here.
me: I never told her I would come and get her, I only told you. I had to cancel my plans last week because of all this. I spent a lot of time and energy over the years trying to help foster a bond between you two which broke at some point.. unfortunately, it never happened. it is unthinkable to me that a child wouldn't want to spend time with her parent.. you have no greater responsibility in your life than to fix it. Unfortunately, I can't help anymore, I had to move on for her well being and my sanity. She must always know she can talk to me.
ex: I don't want her to not be able to talk to you-- she told us that you have told her she can come home if she doesn't feel good or gets scared. I swear to you that is what she has told us. I don't want her calling when she's freaking out and upset, I try to calm her down and get her to rationalize it first. That wouldn't happen last week, and she kept getting upset. I don't want her like that. I'm sorry you had to cancel plans last week-- I really am. I did not want her to go home... But more than that I don't want her upset like she was.
me: Nope, I try my best to cheer her up before she goes with you. I'm not trying to sabotage you, a. Whatever it is you've become, you'll always be her mom. You call me telling me I indulge her, and I wonder in this world who wouldn't be thankful I am the man I have become. I know she's thankful for it. You don't have to spend a single penny on her, you don't have to teach her a lesson, you just have to show her that you love her.. Love is the lesson.
lunch: chicken and omelet
dinner: ?? i had a protein shake.. i don't have much food left in the house.
depressed. bleh.

lessee. had weird ass dreams and woke up at 4am. was up until 6am, back down until about 9. parents showed around 9:30 with a pressure washer. i cleaned off my front porch and walkway and omg does it look 100x better. my dad pulled an old holly root out of the ground with his truck, and my mom cleaned up around the house.
after they left we hit the park for some hide-and-seek and soccer. i surprised myself by doing chin-ups and not feeling like crap.
drove over to tcby and got her a waffle cone, and then back to the house for some movies (nutcracker and .. my mom called to report that the sequel to phantom was on pbs, so we're watching that). somehow, i got a workout in while she was watching nutcracker.
oh yeah, we also played lightsaber battle and some other things. she had fish sticks and lima beans, and then a little oatmeal.
i did a little work on an old song randomly. it's song #65, and is a bit of an oddity and a challenge, in that its one of the only one of my songs with three full verses and a refrain without a recording, and i have almost no clue how the melody or guitar parts went (it's been over 10 years).
i fixed a chord in the refrain and really like the little intro to it, and some of it actually came back to me... although i may just reuse some of the ideas for another project. me and my projects.
lunch: canned chicken, cottage cheese
dinner: moar chicken, lima beans
later: protein shake
