OK...NOW...WHERE WERE WE?...WE FINISHED THE HOUSE, AS FAR AS THE MONEY WOULD GO, ANYWAY, AND THEN WE TRIED FOR MONTHS, YEARS..IT SEEMED TO SALE IT OURSELVES, BUT THE ONLY CALLS ABOUT IT WE RECIEVED WERE NOSEY PEOPLE, WHO PROBABLY HAD THEIR OWN HOUSE UP FOR SALE AND WAS COMPARING OUR PRICE WITH THEIRS.....FACE IT, OUR TOWN HAD BECOME WORSE THAN A GHOST TOWN, THE GHOSTS HAD LEFT BECAUSE IT WAS SO BORING...
OUR DAILY ROUTINE HAD BECOME SO ROUTINE THAT I COULD LAY IN BED MOST OF THE DAY AND DREAM THE THINGS THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE, AND WHEN I WOKE UP....I STILL HAD TO DO THEM, BUT I COULD ALMOST DO THEM IN MY SLEEP.....OH..I CAN'T WRITE ABOUT THIS ANYMORE.....PLEASE UPLIFTERLAND ---- TAKE ME AWAY!!!...
WE DECIDED TO TURN OUR HOUSE OVER TO A REAL ESTATE AGENCY AND SO THEY CAME OVER AND THERE WAS AN ACTUAL FIGHT IN MY MOM'S FRONT YARD, BETWEEN THREE DIFFERENT COMPANIES IN OUR AREA WHO WANTED THEIR CHANCE TO LIST OUR PROPERTY.
THE COPS CAME--BROKE IT UP, AND THEN LEFT IT IN OUR HANDS..WHAT TO DO ABOUT THE OUTBURST.....WE CHOSE THE ELDEST OF THE THREE, BECAUSE HE HAD WHAT LITTLE HAIR LEFT ON HIS HEAD PULLED OUT, BY THE ROOTS FROM THE BATTLE BETWEEN THIS BLONDE WILD WOMAN AND HIS FACE WAS CLAWED UP LIKE HE HAD BEEN ATTACKED BY A COUGAR....
HE WAS SO GRACIOUS HE WANTED TO GIVE US MONEY FOR THE OPPORTUNITY OF SELLING MY MOM'S HOME....WE DECLINED BECAUSE THE LAST THING WE NEEDED WAS MONEY....EVERYONE THAT LOOKED OUR WAY AFTER THE LOYAL THING WE HAD DONE FOR HIM....GAVE US HANDFULS OF CASH AND WE WERE SO HAPPY.....IT PAYS TO BE CHARITABLE...
THEY BASICALLY HAD TO PUT A HOLD ON OTHER PROPERTIES THEY HAD BECAUSE THE LEE STREET PROPERTY WAS TAKING UP THE MAJORITY OF THEIR TIME....
HOLLEY AND I JUST CAME TO OUR HOME AND SIT BACK AND WATCHED THE PRICE RISE AND RISE AND RISE....WOW....THERE WOULD BE NO PROBLEM IN GETTING BACK TO MASSACHUSETTES NOW!
THE LOCAL NEWSPAPER WAS EVEN PUTTING IT IN THEIR ADS FOR FREE BECAUSE IT WAS INCREASING THE SALE OF THEIR CIRCULATION SO MUCH...
...AS I SLOWLY WOKE UP AND LOOKED AT THE CLOCK ....YIPES!!!! IT WAS AFTERNOON AND MY DAILY CHORES HAD ONCE AGAIN NOT BEEN DONE ON TIME.
HOLLEY AND HEAT WERE IN THE DEN AREA OF OUR HOUSE AND MOM WAS REALLY UPSET, HEAT HAD TAKEN OUR TWO DOGS OUT FOR A SHORT WALK AND WHEN HE CAME BACK IN HE FORGOT TO SAY, "GRANDMOTHER-IN-LAW MAY I?" SOMETIMES MOM WOULD GET IN FOWL MOODS, AND THINK STRANGE THOUGHTS...I GUESS SHE FELT SINCE SHE WAS SO OLD IT WOULD BE EXCUSED....
SO OUR LIVES...MORE OR LESS...WERE JUST STAGNANT, CLOSE TO LIFELESS, JUST WAITING FOR SOMETHING --- A FEW STEPS FORWARD..
I HAD ENOUGH TROUBLE WALKING THE RIGHT DIRECTION, I DIDN'T NEED TO BE TRYING TO GO BACKWARDS....
SPEAKING OF THE DOGS...OUR ONE DOG, TOBY, WAS LOSING HIS HAIR FROM PULLING IT OUT WHEN IT GOT IN KNOTS SO HE WAS WALKING AROUND WITH HIS WHOLE HIND END SHOWING...HE WAS A DISGRACE, BUT BOY!!!
WAS HE A PROUD, LITTLE WHIPPER SNAPPER....AND POOR BUSTER, THE OTHER DOG, HAD MORE PROBLEMS THAN MOM...BASICALLY OUR PETS WERE MIRRORED IMAGES OF WHAT WE WERE GOING THOUGH, I LONGED FOR THE DAYS WHEN WE ALL COULD TAKE REGULAR BATHS AND GO TO THE GROOMERS AND EVEN TO THE DOCTOR AND GET OUR MEDICINE WITHOUT A HASSLE...
OUR TOWN, WAS FALLING APART BEFORE OUR EYES AND ALL WE COULD DO IS NOT CLAIM TO LIVE HERE, WE WERE JUST VISITING INVISIBLE GHOSTS IN THIS HOUSE.....I MEAN, I THINK THE PLACE HAD SOME BAD SPIRITS FROM THE PAST IN IT....
SO HERE WE SIT, 2007 PASSED AND SLAPPED US IN THE FACE LIKE A WET SNOWBALL, AND NOW WE ARE IN LIMBO, TRYING TO HOLD ON TO THE RIGHT TONE OF THE "UPLIFTERLAND CALL" CAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT ANY OF US COULD DO, IF ONCE IN A WHILE WE COULD NOT ALL GO TO UPLIFTERLAND....AND BE TAKEN AWAY FROM THIS REALITY....
SOMETIMES NO MATTER WHAT...IT JUST CAN'T BE TOO FUNNY....BUT AS LONG AS WE CAN FIND SOME HUMOR, WE WILL MAKE IT....I KNOW GOD HAS TO LAUGH AT US SOMETIMES BECAUSE WE ARE SO HUMAN AND SO PREDICTABLE IN OUR STUPID CHOICES....
BUT HE ISN'T GOING TO LET ANYTHING MAJOR HAPPEN TO US AS LONG AS WE KEEP CALLING OUT AND GOING TO UPLIFTERLAND...NOT JUST BECAUSE WE NEED SOMETHING BUT JUST BECAUSE IT IS SO NICE THERE.....
