I'm blonde, blue eyed and tall *wibble*

 

Family, can't pick em but can certainly move away

It helps to know that I am not tall, not blond, and not blue eyed :D I don't know who they are related to. 

Truthfully though, they take after my Mum in looks, and my father in height. I got the opposite set of genes. She was 4'9", and he was 6'4" 

They are very girly. I am not.

I can explain it to you. But I can't understand it for you.

You wear it well Asia!


I decided it was time to cut ties, I messaged her(my sister) & was decent(as decent as you can be when telling someone you're not going to be in their life anymore), her response included 1 denial of any issues & 2 nonpologies.....I read it with 'open eyes' & as sad as it makes me I know I'm doing something I should have done some years ago. 
Not good!

In 'other news' I'm attempting to register for summer classes(online) to continue studying massage but there's something stopping the process & I can't figure it out, it's just being the usual stoopid technology fail that always haunts me really *sigh

At least the sun is shining!

I had a letter from the Social Security people. Ring us please. Well, so far an hour in the queue...thanks heavens for speakerphone.  Repeated message every single minute about how important my call is to them, and possibly the worst hold music on the planet.

I can explain it to you. But I can't understand it for you.

At least they don't hang up on you. I try every 10 minutes to call unemployment and they say they have high call volume and hang up.
