We Have the Flu

I have been meaning to write for some time but I really haven't come up with anything in particular I wanted to write about, or I've forgotten, so I haven't sat down and done it. But since I have the flu, I am at home and thought maybe I would write something.
Let's see what happened recently- I didn't do anything interesting for Labour day weekend. Trey lost his job at Front Page News, because he went in late for the second time. No biggie, Amy helped him get another job at Mary Mac's. He (allegedly) makes less money but then again, every day he brings home leftovers which I take for lunch. So that is actually helping out quite a bit with the grocery bills, and I don't have to cook, which is fine with me. He is still trying to start his cleaning business with Amy- I met Amy, I actually LIKE her- Trey picked someone decent to be friends with for a change- , unlike that Jamie.
We had three people come and look at the house last week. My dad thought this might have something to do with Katrina, but then we met one couple and they were from around here and had friends in the neighbourhood. The house will sell when it is supposed to, I'm not worried about it. Maybe if I fixed it up some more, it would sell faster, but I don't have any money left. I still don't believe what Cathy etc. were telling me about get the house all clean and whatever. If people want the house to be clean, THEY can come and clean it. You're buying the HOUSE, not all my crap. The buyers have to envision all their things in your rooms, these people say. Well, then they can go to Haverty's. We have to live here. I would be more inclined to take their suggestions if all the other houses in the neighbourhood had sold but they haven't, and they're vacant. Also Cathy's house is as immaculate as they get and her house didn't sell.
O I know what I was going to write about, I spent Labour day driving Alejandro to Calhoun and back on Monday so he could see his mother. Freddy won't do anything of the sort; he is deeply uninterested in doing anything meaningful for his son, and then Naomi's affection for Macy's so overwhelms all else she won't be bothered. Besides, I think that she is vaguely resentful because he is Christina's child but that is dumb. Christina won't get it together to come down and see him, and I wanted to do something nice for him (someone has to). He really wanted to see his mother; I don't know how much Christina cares, but she pretended to care, and she pretended not to detest me because I am gay, and I pretended she isn't a methhead whore. We did have a nice visit and I saw Maritza, who is as beautiful and sensible as ever. When I go up there again I will have to tell Araceli about the time she licked a whole bunch of CDs and then they wouldn't work. Araceli must have been 3 or 4 at the time, she is now 15. She has her own HORSE; I am vaguely envious because Maritza bought this horse for only $300 and she boards it with a friend and it apparently doesn't cost that much to feed it. I am not sure what I would do with a horse; I think I am envious because it is a LOT more expensive to keep Trey.

Hey Alan, sorry to hear you aren't feeling good! That was nice what you did for Alejandro even though nothing you can say about anyone else is ever usually nice. I hope to see you soon. Take care and say hello to Trey for me!
