Lady Be Good

Listening to Tom Browne w/ Chaka Khan, Jamaica Funk (Funkin' For Jamaica) which, as an adult, really, I only just discovered for my Chaka collection like maybe a year and a half ago. Been at Mom's for like going on three weeks and she's starting to wear me down, finally. Presently, as I write this, she is at the mall with sis, on the eve of Mother's Day. I was not asked to go, though even if I had been, I was sleeping. My sleep clock is still messed up, or messed up again. Whichever it is. Mom has been getting on my nerves going on and on about it. "Are you still up ...?!!" "Boy, go on to bed, like you got some sense ...!!!" Stress. To the max.

I have been here so long, this visit, because there are some things I really need to get accomplished via the net that one cannot do at the public library with it's time limits. But with mom and her ways, much of what I need to do to further myself, takes longer to do, or has not gotten done at all. She's always nagging and proffering the put-downs.

She just the internet back on, along with cable television a few weeks ago, and is supposed to be learning how to use the pc and the web but, not too surprisingly, has not even checked her web mail once since it was set up. I'm here for her, to aid her, but she's not really making and effort and is always saying she's "too busy" and the like.

Another reason I have been here so long is my dental emergency. It seems I have a cavity in one of my top teeth and extraction or root canal needs to happen. Thing is, root canal is the preferred procedure for me, since this tooth is at the "borderline" of my "smile line" and my future plans of acting could be really fucked-up if I have a big gap in my smile. However, I truly don't have the $600-700 to pay for the root canal, and have to squeeze for the funds to pay for the "regular" extraction!!!!!

Ah, shit ...Mom's back home!
