There is so much damn dog hair on my
floors. My aunt's dog, an all black Pekinese, is shedding all over my light carpet. Not
only is he shedding but he is also pissing on my floors. The dog is old and decrepit and
probably needs to be put to sleep but she insists that he is happy and healthy. What is
sad is that the dog falls down all the time and has trouble walking and refuses to eat
most days. I wish I could say things have settled down
since my aunt's arrival but they haven't. Friends and relatives have been coming in and
out of the house, and I feel like my home has been invaded. My mother-in-law is
coming at the end of the week to stay for four days and I know by next Monday I am going
to feel slightly insane and will probably be sneaking myself a pack of cigarettes.
My sister and her heathens came for dinner tonight. I cooked a
lasagna, and she was supposed to bring the bread and salad. She forgot the salad, which I
suspected that she would leave something behind. We snickered when my aunt wasn't looking
about the dog, and how old and feeble he is. As long as he doesn't die while she is here,
I keep telling myself. The heathens actually were mild compared to other times they have
been to my house. I think sis threatened to beat them to death of they acted up.
Tonight my paternal grandmother, MawMaw, called. I have not
talked to her in a year, and was a little surprised to hear from her, since I had not
given my phone number or address to anyone on my "real" father's side of the
family. I was happy to hear from her and she wanted my new address to send us a little
something for Christmas. She also told me that my "real" dad was in very poor
health (what's new) and that he had hardly worked all year and was thinking of retiring.
MawMaw will be in Savannah until the first week of February so I will be taking Elizabeth
and MsEm sometime in January to see her. She has never seen MsEm, and I want to give
them a chance to meet before MawMaw dies -- which could happen at any time since she has a
bad heart.
