What a day!

Shallowater for Reids final basketball game of the season. Birthday cake that Memama took with us, at Rian and Erica's house. Back to Roscoe. Back to Abilene.

I had hoped to get home in time to see my old college roommate, but I ran about an hour late and they had commitments.

In a weak moment, and I should have known better, I called Carol to see if she wanted to go out to eat. She declined initially, then called back saying sure. When I got home she still had not had her bath. I told her all the restaurants were going to be filled up.

Sure enough, I called it before hand.

Second restaurant we sat and waited. The bartender Micha saw and recognized me, and shortly we had drinks in hand. Finally Jeremy waved to me. He had us a table. I summoned Carol and headed in.

Lots of glass slamming, loud trash talking ensued. I told Jeremy to bag the supper, I needed to get her out of the restaurant. I had already taken her second drink away, but who knows how much she drank at home prior to.

On the way home she became physical, attacking my plastic fingers and bending them different directions, then she began clawing and dumping the take out containers. I grabbed her by the hair and told her she was going to clean it up. We were in Pepa's pickup. She began cleaning it up once we were in the driveway, then bolted down the street yelling at the top of her lungs, "Somebody help me!" Over and over again. I carried some stuff into the house and then began walking toward Steve and Jeanie's house. Steve was standing in the driveway. He told me she was hysterical and he had called the cops. I said, all right, then, she is ya'lls problem and returned to the house.

The bull shit meter has tripped. Sorry guys. I can't take this any more.

She needs to be in a rubber room and I just want out.

Cops came, I told them give her a field sobriety test and I refused to step outside. I may be stupid but I ain't dumb. The joker told me to be a man and step outside. Hello. He said I couldn't deny her entry, i told him if she had her keys to come on in. End of conversation.

They haven't returned.

Lots of stuff came out today. I am so excited,I am fixing to be a millionaire! Carol told me so! That is the reason Carol has decided she wants to hang on.

Two weeks in a row I have been set up. I did better this week.

Father, deliver me!
