I'm tired, so I really don't want to get lengthy at all.  In fact, in about five minutes I'm shutting this sucker off and going to bed.  Didn't want to have those 'Oh I wanted to blog, but got too tired, and didn't, but I wanted to!' feelings.

Got informed that my asshole cousin was in town today.  Just all feels like one big trap, or catastrophe waiting to happen.  I've been laying low, and I intend to continue laying low.  Tomorrow could wind up with some shitty events.

My cousin wants to shoot his gun again, at the property right next to us, right across from the pasture.   Last time he did that, he had all of the horses flipped out of their minds.  They were running their asses off, and it caused some of them to begin hacking and coughing, which is not good.   It rained for like two days straight, we got something like 4 inches of rain, so the pasture is really really wet.  On top of that, tomorrow the other horses are being taken out of the pasture.  If my cousin gets to shooting, they'll all be terrified and could risk hurting themselves (because of the wet pasture), hurting us, tearing up the pasture more than it needs to be or making things entirely more difficult if nothing else.

I know without a doubt that if my cousin causes one of the guy's horses to get hurt, the guy will not hesitate to go after his ass legally.  I also know that I won't hesitate to give him his name and whatever info I can dig up because he'd deserve to get sued or held responsible.  He's been asked not to shoot by my dad, BUT then earlier tonight he got my dad all drunk on tequila.

My dad barely ever drinks hard liquor and when he does, well, he can't handle it.  He came home, could barely talk, couldn't eat, had to have a trash can by his side in case he got sick, and then started rambling incoherently.  I'm worried that my cousin may have tried to get him that trashed so he could get him to say 'Yes, you can shoot out here.' and then tomorrow when he shoots, my dad won't remember telling him he could, and my cousin will claim he said so while they were drinking ... and because my dad was so drunk he won't doubt that he maybe did say it, and just doesn't remember it.

All of that said, I am going to go about my business as if my cousin were not even in town and it's not even a possibility.  I did that today, just completely ignored it and didn't give it a single thought.  My dad has been trying to bait me into conversations about family, and he's pointedly been telling me about stuff going on with these asshole people ... but I've not been taking the bait.  I won't do it either.  I'm done.

In other news, had a good day hanging out with our friends.  Minus a couple of rough spots, it wasn't all so bad.   I feel quite yucky because that monthly thing chose this weekend to come up.  I'm dead ass tired right now, so I think I shall go use the bathroom, refill my water glass, grab my book and hit the sheets.  G'night all!
