Needless to say, today has been a disappointment. The whole issue with the car was the biggest issue.
I did still stay outside for several hours. Maybe a bit pointlessly. However, I cleaned up the parts for the car, laid down plastic, placed the parts in the car, labeled some of the brackets.
Put a new hose on the truck PCV outlet, to try and divert the exhaust under the truck, so it doesn't enter the cab so much.
Did some adjusting on the bike. It runs better and stronger. Now I just hope it starts better in cold weather. May try it before going to sleep.
The other day, the ex ruined a surprise I had planned for my daughter. Cliff's Amusement Park is having their first Christmas season event this year. I've known about it for months and planned to take daughter but had managed for months to keep it under wraps. Then, when I was dropping her off, the ex starts asking about the exact same thing.. right in front of daughter. I got upset and hissed at her. Too late, it was blown.
Today, I bought season tickets for daughter and I to Cliff's for 2014, which includes the Christmas event. The ex had told me she may want to go. So I texted her tonight to tell her what I had bought but told her "Shh!" True to form, she sends me a text back, raging "Don't shush me! If you didn't know about that I would have been doing you a favor!" Then going into how I interrupted her dinner and in general trying to drag the whole thing into a Jerry Springer encounter. I just said, "Thanks" and let it go. So, 38 years old and she hasn't emotionally matured past the same behavior she indulged in her early 20's. Throwing insults she thought I would respond to and I just let them go. Tried again, I let them go. I know this won't be the end of it from her. She'll try to draw me out again tomorrow. I will still refuse. From there, she will try to threaten me. I won't allow it. It's old. Very old.
She even raged at me because I texted her "Happy Thanksgiving", saying I sent it too early, at 7:30. The same text went to multiple people and most of them replied "Happy Thanksgiving" back.
And how the hell am I supposed to know what time she eats?
Oh, well.
I have the turkey marinating in the fridge. Made stuffing and also in the fridge. Daughter can help me finish up the pies or cobbler tomorrow, maybe the mashed potatoes. I shouldn't have to cook for at least a week until I get sick of turkey and tamales.
Ordered several Christmas presents for daughter. Mostly science and inventing kits. She loves science, so this may be something she enjoys. Hope so.
