Saturday night

I'm sitting here, listening/watching a live feed of the Sens game on www.cbc.ca The Sens trail the Devils 2-1.

I just located this feed, out of sheer boredom, no one is online and i feel lonely. My mother is watching something on tv, i don't know what... but i guess she isn't in the mood to watch hockey or she is still mad at me.

She is mad because instead of cooking dinner i ordered out for pizza. I just did not feel like cooking. I went for a nap and when i woke up i felt tres lazy, hence the pizza. What i planned to make for dinner tonight i will make tomorrow. She is just in a snit now, not talking.... so that's fine, she will come around.

I haven't broached the subject of my sister moving in, i will do that tomorrow, hopefully she will be in a good mood or at least a receptive one. I think she will be agreeable...and you know the more i think about it, the more i am too. I think it definitely would have its pros. For instance, perhaps my mother would not expect me to be so close at hand, with my sister here, she won't feel like she is alone if i am off doing something. However, no matter who is around, my mother is always dependant upon me and she gets herself all worked up if i am not around. I'm just thinking having Sue here will be a good thing for me, if nothing else.

My other sister is getting re-married and planning a big wedding. So this is how this unfolded. She was married to Wayne for like 22 years or so. Last year we (my mother, my sister and i) started hearing things about this guy being there at the house all of the time... you see, this sister babysits full time for my nephew John's children, two boys. So John and his wife would always ask, who is this guy hanging around with Lin....we had no idea, we hardly see her so had no way of knowing. This went on for months... then last Christmas eve, Lin calls and says she and Wayne and the kids want to come down for a visit. Fine, good..it's Christmas eve, will be good to see them...so they come down. We are all visiting...when Lin pulls me aside and says she has something to tell us all, wonders how to do it... i say, just do it. So we go back into the living room where she gets everyones attention and announces that she and Wayne are separating...and selling the house.......and oh yeah, she has a new boyfriend. We know him, it's their friend Phil.

Wow, we are all shocked and feel awkward, i mean what do you say to that. We all kept fairly quiet except our mother who started to cry. My mother is senstitive, perhaps overly so... so she sat there crying and we all kept looking around at each other. Silence.... well except for mother weeping and now Lin is trying to comfort her but she is having none of it. She is disappointed in her, how can she do this to Wayne, how can she announce this like that in front of Wayne and the kids...Lin says, oh they are fine with it, Wayne and Phil (the new guys name) get along fine, he is happy for us and we are going to help Wayne find someone else (at which point, i chime in, pick me, pick me... bad joke... my mother shot me a look...ouch, oops, sorry mom). And they did find Wayne someone else too... cut to recently. They have separated and the house is sold. Wayne is living in an apartment with his new girlfriend... and Lin and Phil bought their own place together.

A couple of weeks ago Lin tells Stacie (my nephew John's wife) that her and Phil are over, broken up, going to be selling up, parting ways...a week ago, they are back together, lovey, dovey and the wedding is back on...full speed ahead.

Whatever happens i wish her well.

Hockey game still on... score still 2-1 for the Devils...come on Sens, score please, i have a bet on t his game!
