more immortal words from cindy walker

"all i can do is laugh at this point. here's a recap...

THURSDAY-last nite at the apartment that's when i talked to you last.

FRIDAY-last day at work-OFFICIALLY. afterwards stop by apt to get tate (my cat). guy from across the street confronts me about throwing my last bag of trash in his trash can. tries to read my car tag and calls the cops on me as i put-put away unspeedily in 2nd gear. drop off tate at my sister's. spend the nite at scott's. stay up til 6:30am drinkin and talkin.

SATURDAY-wake up after 3.5 hrs of sleep. drive to sis's. spend the day under my car with glenn from 12pm-6:30pm only to have made the brakes worse. worse meaning absolutely no brakes at all now, period. gone. nothing. drive back to boone with sis's mini van instead, which i've dubbed THE MINI. chauffer scott and jess to david's and go out to dinner w/all of them in blowing rock. nice restaurant but i was stressed and exhausted so it wasn't very enjoyable. afterwards, go to david's. hang out with all them. alex and his girl lauren come by. lauren was in law school in new orleans this semester and has lost everything and is now living w/ family in boone. had a really informative and emotional talk with her about all of it. spend the nite again at scott's.

SUNDAY-drive back to this sis's. clean up. bond with tate. scott and jess stop by. invite me back to boone. watch HOUSE of YES. which i love. i think you would like it too if you haven't seen it already. sleep there again.

MONDAY-david drives me out to the mom's. split a couple beers then he goes and i stay the nite at my sister's. uncomfortably. didn't dawn on me that zoie (my niece) goes to bed at 8:30pm. so i have to lock myself in the spare room and be extra quiet.

TODAY-got car towed this morning to auto shop somewhere in jefferson, nc. they can't look at it until tomorrow. so more wait and see shit. get a call from jen asking me to spend the nite at mom's cuz her and glenn are having a quarrel. so moved all of my stuff over to the mom's just now and have finally sat down and relaxed for a little bit.

so from my apt, to scott's, to jen's, now to mom's. been kind of crazy. me tired. still need to organize my shit some more and hope the car gets fixed affordably tomorrow. we'll see. as of right now my road trip has taken me from boone to fleetwood. somehow i was expecting to get further. and no word from the cops yet. no cell service out here...

love,
jamie"
