~ Well, guys, sorry to disappoint, but there was no hangover. 

Although, I think I'd rather have been hung over.  Apparently I'm coming down sick, because as the day has progressed, my throat has felt worse and worse, my nose is being quite disagreeable, and my fever is going up and down.  Now I've reached the point where I feel like a zombie.  I might be MIA tomorrow if I'm feeling as crappy as I imagine I will.  Won't have the brain power to think much less type.

~ Of all the things I felt like dealing with, it's definitely not BILBM.  I'm glad that she wasn't in the near vicinity when I found out her reaction to our brief passing earlier in the day.

See, they were at the farm earlier with my niece, and also my BIL needed to get ready to go out trick or treating since they were dressing up too.  My BIL turned around, looked me straight in the face, and then turned around and left the room.  I've not done ANYTHING to him.  I don't see what the hell reason he has to do that to me, but I let it drop, no biggie.  I'm not looking for arguments.  Well, my husband was collecting laundry from the washer, so I went to see how that was going, and BILBM went outside to her car for something.  We went out of the house as she was coming in, and as she passed, I made a goofy face and smiled at her.  She rolled her eyes at me.

We left and went about the rest of our evening, and when we returned back to the farm later on for something, I found out she went in the house stark raving pissed because I did not say 'Hi'.  She said to my MIL 'Not hello, not fuck you, not kiss my ass, NOTHING, she didn't even say anything to me!' Maybe this is just too intelligent for her, but I did give her non-verbal acknowledgment with the goofy face and the smile.  I'm so sorry I wasn't really in the mood to engage in conversation, and my throat hurt, so I chose to react non-verbally to her presence.  So sorry.   Beyond that, I didn't make a stink about my own BIL, the kid who I grew up with and felt like was my own little brother, not saying a word to me after making direct eye contact.  Just a classic example of how hypocritical they are.  They're allowed to act one way, but if you do the same, well fuck you.

If I apologize to her, she'll take that as an opportunity to chew me out.  If I say nothing, she'll just sit and rot over it.  Damned if I do, damned if I don't.  Although not really, because, I don't give a rat's ass.  It's not hurting me for her to be mad at me.  I could give a shit less because neither of them add anything to my life, and so, if they choose to be mad at me and not talk to me, well then it's so much the more opportunity for peace in my book.  If you're not talking to me, you're not bitching at me.  :-)

~ We reached a decision about a vehicle too, and I'm pretty happy with it, and my husband will be too.

We did go look at that truck today, and after learning about it, my husband decided he didn't really want it for all the work and time that needs to go into it before he can even drive it.  Uh-huh, yep, I knew it.  So anyway, we spoke with my uncle, and we're now going to own the car he was selling.  We've already got the title and keys, and my husband likes the car, after test driving it and looking it over yesterday.  It's pretty nice, dependable, and great on gas mileage.  He told his dad about the truck, and it seems that tomorrow my FIL is going to go make an offer to the guy for the truck.  So that leaves my husband feeling happy because he knows on the rare occassion should he need to use a truck, now there will be two at the farm ready for his use and we won't have to put any more expense into it beyond the gas we might use.  I can live with that, comparitively.


Time to go, I'm feeling extra warm again and I'd kind of like to get away from the computer.  G'night all.  Oh yeah ... Happy Halloween.  I'd like to say mine's gone fairly well, besides being sick and BILBM being a bitch.  :-)
