This is not my usual WTF Friday - namely because I am just give the fuck out. This is more of a lament than a rant this time around. I just don't know WTF to do anymore. I keep trying and pushing and forcing the positive - I try to live there instead of wallowing in all the shit that really is my life, but I am just so utterly exhausted that I don't know what to do. I can't seem to win. I know whatever happened to Baby Jane. I live with her lately. Her crazy train has derailed and gone crashing through the fuckin' forest like a deranged werewolf for the past few weeks. If I am not dealing with the Sphincter Police Control Freak [dripping with pretension]: "Now you are only alllowed _____ this week." Then screech-smash-bam! We have Needy Nellie [plaintive]: "Are you mad at me? Should I go somewhere?" (mind you we live in a hotel room at the moment, where the fuck is there to go?) then crash-bang-boom comes Kumba YaYa: "Let's hold hands and sing and play cards and..." And then - for the kicker - I AM THE ASSHOLE! because I just don't react. I keep my mouth shut and try to be as unobtrusive as humanly possible - but that is not right either!!! I guess I am supposed to take the bait and react and argue. It started again last night - via fucking text messaging on the phone. I just turned my phone off. Not going there.
I know she tells everyone how horrid I am am, and oh-poor-me, WOE!!! But shit, what the hell am I supposed to do. Not to say that I am a Saint by any means. I get cranky when I don't have cigarettes or coffee - or food - but again, I just usually withdraw and try to STFU and leave it be. I guess I should just succumb to her own addiction in trade for my cigarettes. Sitting in bed and shoveling food into your face seems acceptable around here; smoking, not so much. I chose the wrong addiction, I guess. I guess I just need to double in size; work somewhere that fills the feed trough as reward for doing well; and sit in bed (couch) and eat entire bags of corn chips at a time. I really don't know anymore. It's like I can't do one god damned fucking thing right as far as she is concerned. Can't fucking win.
Then on top of all this shit, I am trying to find work here (at our current location). On foot. In the middle of winter. During a recession. With no experience/education applicable to anything hiring. With nerve damage in both feed and a back that needs surgery. Also trying to familiarize us with the new location we are to move to after the first of the year. Maintain what other few exhausting relationships I actually have left and juggle visiting with my friends and family around her schedule. Plus I do ALL the cooking and cleaning here. It makes for a long fucking day. It makes for a long fucking life. And then she comments the other night, "You always seem so sad." Well, God damn, Dazey - I wonder why. Wit's fucking end. I am so fucking frustrated I am bawling like a rejected Dodge Baller as I fucking type this. It's ridiculous.
I know that something will give. I know that this is just a rough spot. I have actually made some headway with the job prospects. I even got an interview that I had applied for a while back - wrong city now, buit it's a promising sign none the less. Things are looking up. There is a silver lining - there's just a whole lot of fucking rain pouring down at the moment. I know it will all come about. Work will come. We'll get settled. All will be well, I know. I am, despite it all, I am still hopeful. This is not all for nothing. We have struggled this hard and this long to no end. Surely. I have to believe that. But hanging on in the meantime and getting run over on a daily fucking basis by Princess Whackypant's Crazy Train is a bit much to bear...
WTF to do?
Dig in my broken nails and hang on for dear fucking life I guess.
Keep on keeping on and hope for the best...
Hell I dunno, but I'm fuckin' trying...
Is a cup of coffee, a meal (and a cigarette), and a fuckin' break
- with sane persons - too much to ask for?
