I'm ok, you're a pain in the ass. Feeling smarmy today. My neck still hurts. I am thinking it might actually be one of my pillows. I changed around the sheets the other day and put pillow cases on some pillows I hadn't used in a while. I think they are too hard for my neck. I am going to try a different pillow tonight and see how that works. I may also flip and rotate the mattress just to be safe.

Walked around with the kid yesterday. Just to be outside. We went into a candy store, looked at some clothes for her, but we were good. Spent like $15 in the candy store. That's it. Pretty darn good.

Talked to X1 yesterday too. She is on her way Friday night to pick up the kid after they do the family portrait thing on Saturday. I asked when she was leaving and she said Sunday afternoon. I asked if I could have the kid Saturday night as it will be the last time I get to see her for a month or two. She said no problem. Which means we are have to another showing of RHPS. :) I wasn't going to tell X1 this, but the kid is excited now. She knows if she tolerates the bullshit of her family on Saturday there is a reward at the end of the tunnel. That's what I am good for you know.

Speaking of that, I was chatting with LO yesterday. Her parents are breaking up and she is caught in the middle. Her step-dad is blaming her calling her a bitch and saying she broke up the family. Which is amazing since she has her own life and barely sees them. But she is worried that her step-dad will try something. He is not the nicest of guys. I feel for her. These are the times I wish I was closer to her. I would be there in a second. As I told her - you fuck with anyone special to me, you will regret it. Period. End of discussion.

Also heard from my brother yesterday. He is permanently transferred to a new hospital. I will go see him tonight. The upside is that it's a hospital where his adopted dad doesn't have any pull. I should be treated a little differently as the people at the new hospital don't have any prejudice (positive or negative) towards me. I will go down around 8 tonight. We will see how that goes.

I have a light week as of right now. I am hoping to hear back from my bosses on some work this week but I also want to spend Friday with the kid. Let's see what happens.
