this is too funny

yesterday in the course of putting life as i know it back together, thumper came home and i decided to make him help us. 
now as i said, thumper lives upstairs. he was ace's best friend and when he lost his job and apartment, i said he could move in. so he did and found a job. he watches lucky so she is not alone all day. he used to be a raging boozer. then one day he found god and gave it all up. cold turkey. he became someone we don't even know. he thinks he knows everything and has this "holier than thou" attitude. he rarely talks to us, hangs out or has anything to do with us. 
which at this point is fine by me. so long as he takes care of lucky, keeps his mouth shut and gives me money, i don't care what he does. 


now i don't like the idea of devoting a blog to him but what he did yesterday is worth it. 
about 6 months ago he had come home and i was on facebook, of course, and i was sharing something funny with ace. i started telling him about it and thumper looks at me and says 
" you know these people are not real. this is all a scam. it's just stupid. why do you waste your time with people you  don't know?" 
well, you know me, i saw red and had to let him have it. i said to him, " some of these people i do know, they are family, friends i have had for years, friends i lost touch with, and people i share something in common with. some i have met because of diseases we share and can help each other. you on the other hand asshole, hang out with a couple who are in their 70's. so before you open your mouth, look at your own pathic life." 
well with that he said nothing and went to his room. 


to get him to help he needed something from me. he wanted to use my laptop to check his email since the library's computers were full. i said ok since it was just his email. or so i thought. i turned around and saw he was logging into facebook!!!! for a second i thought it was MY page he was trying to log into. he asked me why it wasn't working and i looked and saw his email there. so in a very surprised voice i asked, " you have a facebook page??!?!?!"
he said yes. so i loaded his page and i could not help but asked why. he said he wanted to keep in touch with some girl he met in mexico and when he asked her how he could she said facebook! of course!! silly me!!! 
now i wasn't as mad as i was surprised since this was the ass who gave me shit about it but me being me i could not help myself and start giving him shit about it. smart ass he is he replied, " well i know these people and i talk to them and i have famous friends. very famous. but you would not know them since you do not know any of them." 
huh? are you kidding me? seriously? i could not believe it. ace then said  "so you want to be our facebook friend?" to which thumper said, "no. why would i when i live here."
now trust me i would not add him, nor would ace, but that was rude to say and it was a joke. 
with that he signed off and went upstairs. later on i could not help it, i checked his page. 
famous friends, huh. my ass. mommy, daddy, sister, brother in law, chick from mexico, and some rock stars. 
yeah, that's famous friends alright. 
speaking of which i need to get back to my own page and talk with my friends who are famous for being awesome.

what's up in life

well folks it's been a while. i know i have been very lazy coming back and updating. 
i would come up with some good excuse, but let's face it, i am lazy. 
the last two months have take their toll on me. where do i begin???

i guess i can just start where i left off with the ceiling. we finally found a contractor who not only knows what he is doing but also had the personality of a dead fish. he was not a dog person, something i did not know at the time. anyhow's ace and i had our weeks vacation. the first 2 days were great. the 3rd... well... i was stir crazy and he was making me nuts. 
we fought of course. i woke in a bad mood and he thought it was all about him. 
i seem to get that a lot in life. ace always thinks everything is all about him. 
this mood was just because i am used to a routine and it was broken. when the routine breaks, i freak and have no clue what to do or how to handle it. after a while i calmed down and ace finally picked up the clue. so after that all was well. 
lucky on the other hand did not take it well that  mommy and daddy were still home. i guess we broke her routine too and of course our "wonderful boarder" thumper, (he's another story that really does not need a blog mention. ) made sure not to be home or awake when we were around. 
we spent the days hanging out doing nothing. ace did have his birthday that week and thought turning 35 that day was the end of the world. personally i think some drama king was going on here. i mean, it's 35, i turned 40. did you see me freak? nope! i loved it and yes, i plan on turning 40 again this year. 
well ace had his melt down which included some drunking texting. to our boss!!!! 
yup you read correctly. the text was nothing bad, mean, or actually stupid. all it read was " i am 35 today. we should sit down and talk when i get back from vacation." 
now, i know i went a little overboard but really was that text needed? no. trust me when i say, our boss could care less. i do believe that all text messages should come with a  warning before you hit the send button. "are you sure you want to send this text? seriously? think about that long and hard buddy before you push that send button."
all the apps in the world now and no one has made it. 
in the course of all this, we had to pack up the living room and move everything out. the contractor was coming! let me just say 2 people and a dog should not be confinded to one room. need i say more? lucky was having a tough time with this. she wanted to say hi to mr. dead fish and his helper and could not. she wanted to go to her window was could not. she wanted her life. i don't blame her either. i wanted mine back too. 
so we spent 8 hrs in the kitchen that day. finally we were let out to roam our own house. 
the next night dead fish came back to mud. this went on until thursday when he finally finished that part. by now i had realized that never once did he acknowledge lucky. 
i think she noticed it too since every night since he layed down that tarp, she would pee on it. no joke. now we all know she has a weak bladder, but she never really does this at night. so you know she was pissed. it also did not help that it was light a 100 degrees out and i have no a/c in the living room. i have it in the bedroom but for some reason lucky does not like being in there if the door is closed. she likes to be able to come and go. 
so that did not help matters. 
i think she finally lost it on friday night. we all painted the living room. lucky had to hang out in her room with the door locked. i didn't want her to be able to jump over something and go from a black and white dog to a all white one or worse, lick paint. when we were done for the night, we let her out and gave her back her window. we hung out together for a while and then i told her goodnight. well i guess she was so pissed from being in her room that she peed on the tarp and pooped on it. she also dug out some of the stuffing of the tarp and put it on her poop to hide the evidence. well, lucky me ( no pun intended) i found it. your smart, you can figure out how. 
now it's sunday night and we all have our rooms back. i will admit the result is great but no something i want to do again. lucky is still out of sorts. the past 2 weeks her life was interuppted. here is to hopping we can all get our normal every day lives back and i can have some much needed downtime. 
here is how it came out.
