I think I said this already but just in case..... I HATE this effing town. The only saving grace this town has are what friends I still have here. Being back here.... the only thing that feels good the feeling of being a part of a pack again. It is something my animal always needs, being wolf. Thor is bear, so he feels better on his own. But I need my pack. Granted I have only been in contact with two of them, and one is a child, but it still feels better than being completely cut off. Two Step has mentioned that if/when I go to Montana, he would like to come with. I don't know if he meant it or if he was just saying that with no intention of following through. There are a lot of people like that around here. Say they will do something and then not follow through. I will see.


I still have to call the school to set up appointment to take the tests. Needed to get myself settled a bit more. Will call on the 5th. Hopefully the office will be open then. I know that even summer school is off for the whole week. But fall semester starts on August 20th. So I need to get my butt in gear and get things going.

Anyway.... Since I am living at a place that has people that are not so set in their habits, I am able to go back to making my monthly supper menus. Yup.... I would make a menu for the month of suppers. That way we would be able to get all the necessities for supper right away. That way when we would start to run out of money we would already have all the required items for one meal a day. Breakfast and lunch would be leftover. But living with the in laws.... they like their foods cooked a certain way, or won't eat certain foods. So making supper for everyone out of the meals that I like to make, was impossible. Plus I need to change my diet.... I am in the beginning stages of heart disease. So I am supposed to eat leaner meats. And the in laws prefer the fattier meats. I they only eat corn and potatoes for veges. They don't eat fruit. All things that I need to start incorporating into my diet. (I have never been a big veggie person, but I have liked fruit). Plus my taste buds have started to change again. So I need to retry some foods.

How do I know my buds are changing? I drank a bottle of beer, by myself.... the whole thing. For those that don't know me that are reading this.... that is a HUGE thing for me. Before tonight, I have only ever drank 1 beer (and enjoyed it) once in my life. I only drank 1/2 of a wine cooler at my wedding reception. I just have never wanted to drink alcohol. Most times, I can't get past the actual alcohol taste. But I have had a craving for a beer for quite some time now. So, Two Step was willing to get me one (actually had to get a 6 pack) and I finished it. Not before it got warm, but I did drink it. It will not become a habit for me. But I might actually be able to get to a point where I could enjoy a beer with friends, instead of always being the one left out. Don't get me wrong, my friends don't purposely leave me out of things because I drink. In fact, I think most of them are pretty proud of the fact that I have not been drunk in 38 years. (guess how old I am) But being the ONLY one out of all of us to not drink, at all.... makes one feel left out. I never want to experience being drunk or having a hangover. I don't want to find out what kind of drunk I am. But it would be nice to be able to go out with friends and enjoy a beer or two.

Well, I am actually a bit tired. Gonna get ready for bed and, hopefully, dream of my cowboys. I don't have access to my pics right now, or I would put them up here. OH.... Wait

 

That works...hehe.
