So, C is a ego-maniacal, self-centered, clueless, phallo-centric prick.
But, since he spent the entire day... what day was that? I don't remember. Anywho, he spent the entire day drawing out a break-up via text message- which he blamed on his career. Before he'd even seen me.
So, yeah, that was a waste of time.
Funny thing? It pissed me off- not hurt me, just straight up pissed me off because he was such a coward about it. I mean, really, what does that say about my taste in friends?
Anyway, thankfully, my local biker family still had my back, and I went crying back to them (no, I wasn't ACTUALLY crying- jeeze, he's not worth all that!) and they welcomed me with open arms- turns out, they kinda saw this coming.
Po, my going-through-a-divorce, middle-aged-and-would-kick-my-butt-for-saying-so friend/family dude stayed at my place Saturday night so my niece could have her bed for a change. The conversation Sunday morning, when he finally managed to get my eyes to open, went something like this.
"We've been up for a while."
"Have you taken the dog O-U-T?"
"Yup. We smoked a few cigarettes and took a dump on the front lawn."
*looking at my dog* "I thought you quit smoking months ago!"
Po: "You shoulda seen the look on the neighbors' face when I took that dump right out front, man!"

....Bizarre, yes. We're still cracking jokes about this that people look at us like we're stupid for. We don't care. We're both going through shit, and if the thought of a 40-something year old man with grey hair crouched on my front lawn taking a dump makes us laugh, dammit, laugh we will!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway, Boss Man has been on leave for over a week now, but mine still hasn't been approved. So I have no idea when I'll even start clearing post, or when I can expect to be able to move or leave the immediate area. All I know is the army stuff is wearing me out in a very big way.
The silver lining to this is that the more time I spend away from the army, the more I realize that I am able to get better. No harassment, no threats, no insane sanctions on my personal freedom and I start feeling much less like a dangerous, cornered animal and more like me.
