Mom and I had a pretty good day yesterday. When I got home from the library we sat and had a little chat. I confessed to her that part of my resentment toward her boyfriend was spawned by his taking up all of her time. For the last couple of years she and I have been really close. We would spend a lot of time talking, and went out for lunch or drinks at least twice a week. Since he came into the picture, she never has time for me anymore.
I also expressed my concern regarding his alcoholism. Before she met him, she was trying to ease off of her addiction to the liquor since it's largely what drove her previous boyfriend away after eight years, but the new guy is the type of man who always has a beer bottle in his hand, no matter what he's doing, and it doesn't really help my mom to kick her habit. During our discussion I left out the fact that the other reason I don't like him is because he's gross. I didn't think my mom would appreciate that much.
So, we went out last night for a little while and she had a few (i.e., six or seven drinks in an hour and a half) drinks, while I just had Coke. She is planning on renting a car to get to A's baby shower, so everything seems to be back to normal.
On the subject of resuming normalcy, I start my new job at Safeway on Sunday. I have a very erratic schedule this coming week, but I'll be working a total of 31 hours between Sunday and Friday, with Monday and Saturday off. When I was hired I was told it would be somewhere between 20 and 25 per week to start, so I'm hoping that I will consistently be assigned more hours.
On Tuesday I work from 6:00 A.M. to 1:00 P.M., but that's the only day next week when I won't be working when the library's open. I'll try to make it down for an hour or so to check email and post something quick here, but no promises. Unless I get the power cord for my computer before then (providing it's the right one), I probably won't have time to post for about a week. Once again, I plead with you to not give up on me!
