Thursday evening I got an email from Sis regarding coming to lunch on Saturday. Normally I don't bother but I decided to throw them a bone and go solo. It was alright, not good, not bad, just alright. It was just me, Sis, the BIL, and the grand kids. Speaking of grand kids, the niece finally got her driver's license. Just great, another teen driver. Now the teenage nephew wants to learn how to drive, he's not even fifteen. That's next week. Yikes. I spent the rest of the afternoon reading. I must have been that bored because I actually accepted the invitation. I have to admit these long Sabbaths are quite dull. One can only read so much before you need something to do. I've been scanning the local alternative newspaper events listings fr anythi g interesting, nearby, and free. So far galleries seem to be the best choices. There are a few decent galleries nearby. The good one require some driving. Driving has been an issue because my car has been non-operational. I've had it almost fifteen years and it's been quite reliable. I've driven it everywhere I need to go. Now it's it stopped running. The choice is fix it or buy a new one. I would love to buy a new car but I can't so the only realistic option is to fix it it, if it's worth the effort. I don't know. Public transportation and walking only goes so far in Lis Angeles. I really need some sort of reliable transportation. Anyway, like everything else these days, I just have to make do. Whatelse can I tell you? I'm feeling less resentful right now then the last few days. I think the lunch invitation and writing about it helped soothe whatever negative feelings I've having regarding my so-called family. However, experience has taught me to set my expectations over any real thaw in the ice at or below ground level. I still don't want Mom planning any birthday party for me this year. I know it's several months away but I'm still angry over being f__ked over at graduation. I'll just be happy if everyone leaves me alone.
