Well, still no baby yet. Blair is going crazy, getting pre-eclampsia and the doctor is hemming and hawing. This isn't her regular doctor. Apparently her regular doc is out of town right now (the labor came a few weeks early) and this guy is basically dithering. They were going to induce her Friday (today) if the labor still wasn't hard. And then he decided not to. I mean gee, she's only been in labor since Tuesday night. Let's let her stay in labor over the weekend too. It's really easy to see, if you read back in this blog, how I got a bad opinion of anything with testicles.

Well, my oldest daughter went into labor last night. We thought she might have the baby last night but no such luck. Her contractions got 8 minutes apart, then went back to 10. She's only dilated 1 cm and apparently is showing signs of pre-eclampsia. So they sent her home and she's on 100% bed rest. I think I've talked about Blair before. Her dad died while I was pregnant with her and I gave her up for adoption. It was an open adoption so she grew up knowing I was her biological mom. I promised her I would stay in the area until her baby was born. She's going to do the adoption thing also as she's only 17 and not ready to be a mom. Her doc told her if she doesn't go into hard labor tonight or tomorrow that they will go ahead and induce labor on Friday. I could explain why but I don't want to wuss out all those guys out there that might be reading this. So, everyone either pray or think positive thoughts for her. :)

Happy Equinox. Today is the first day of spring. WOOHOO!!!

On a less happy note, I've got a problem. The boyfriend of the guy I'm renting this trailer from has become a nuisance. More than a nuisance. He's become abusive. Verbally. When I agreed to live out here, the agreement was that I get left alone to enjoy the peace and quiet. Also, I didn't know he was a drunk. My brother and dad are alcoholics. My brother has been sober for 4 years now (I think it's 4). My ex-husband is a drug addict. I've had enough verbal and emotional abuse over the years that I will not put up with it. Period. I had a long talk with my landlord about his bf's behaviour. Apparently it wasn't sufficiently relayed to the bf that he needs to leave me alone. Since I've been out here, he's bitched at me about how I am raising my daughter, tried to tell me that Henry Rollins (who's name he didn't know, just saw a pic of him on my computer) has AIDS, tried to tell me that the juniper bushes he planted all over the yard were to shade the trailer when they were all on the NORTH side (also tried insisting they were cedar trees, not juniper bushes) then said he was going to form a pivot hedge with them (yes he said pivot, not privet...), yelled at me when I tried to point out to him that his original idea of putting a solar panel on the south side of the roof of their farmhouse would mean it would be in shade as there is a gigantic pecan tree in the yard to the south and all you have to do is walk outside during the day and see the pattern of shade thrown by the branches, screeched at me when I tried to tell him that the logs he placed all over the yard (for decorative purposes) were arranged in such a way that they were a hindrance to me trying to walk over them while carrying anything because of my arthritis, has all of the sudden demanded a copy of my social security check (which I refuse to give) and he's basically been a shit for the past two months. He promised me a place to park my camper, promised they would install a dishwasher that's sitting out in the garage, promised to level the trailer (it's leaning very badly to the south-I had to use blocks of wood to kind of level the bed), promised to bring me a toaster, told me he would bring me a bunch of frozen food (venison and the like, said they don't eat it), promised me a water filter for the sink so I could drink the tap water, promised me curtains, basically just fed me a line of bullshit. He started getting pissy once I made it clear he couldn't manipulate me. What really pisses me off about all of this is that Nina loves her new school. She's been HAPPY. But I can't live with this type of harassment. I let him know all of this when he sent me another pissy e-mail today after I had a talk with his bf yesterday. He shouldn't have sent me a thing. In the new one he says that basically he doesn't have to give me prior notice if they come out to work on the yard or the trailer and that he's going to be burning a lot of trash in the next few weeks. This guy has no sense of common courtesy. He has been informed that I have pulmonary hypertension that that I need to avoid all fumes and smoke. If he's trying to get me to move right away it's not going to work. I already informed him I will not move till the school year is over. PERIOD. I will sue him for harassment before I move Nina again so soon.
