The man is stubborn, just stubborn and at one point he became obsessed, bordering psychotic. LOL
We left the house at 9pm and came back home at 3:30am but only after visiting 5, count ‘em five different Walmart stores and 1 Meijer store. He was looking for a particular laptop that’s on sale so he was willing to drive out of town to see if they by chance had this particular model. No, don’t call ahead. Don’t ask an employee to call ahead just jump in your super sized hillbilly pick up truck and drive us both out of town into KKK land to look for a laptop that isn’t there.
Ya know what? I can’t do crap like that. I can’t go out in the boondocks late at night without fearing 
for my life. If I see a confederate flag everywhere I turn I tend to get a little uncomfortable. I also tried to explain to him how odd we look together in “that” part of the state. He has a serial killer look to him and I’m a chubby black chick who obviously walks on the other side of the street. We are sitting ducks I explained. They will kill us. Lets go!!! He started laughing and I said, “It’s not worth is man. It’s just not worth it.” That is when he turn his extended cab red road runner around and took us home. I can’t believe we went to 5 Walmart stores and one Meijer store and still didn’t find that laptop. It was fun though cutting up and jabbering about nothing at all.
The update on Fife Junior is this, it’s good to see him happy. Even the air around him is different. When someone is angry inside and has a negative outlook on everything the air around them gets heavy, everyone is tense and uncomfortable. I never knew what he was going to say or what mood he was going to be in. Since he started working a month ago at a job he LOVES his attitude and the air has changed. I spent the day with him about a week ago that was so fun I thought later to myself, I hope to have more days like this one. I looked at him and thought to myself, I like the happy you. Still in my heart of hearts I wondered when the other shoe would fall. I enjoy the person he is right now and I try my best not to think about how easily he can flip out. I guess I’m just taking the good while it lasts. Since he started doing reconstruction wood work on a very high profile historic building his self confidence has boosted and he has become easier (at times) to live with.
I say all of this not to make it sound as if the guy has changed (he’s still quite self-centered) but I want to note that he isn’t always a jackass. I guess I’m just saying he and I have moments that are worthy of repeating. However, traveling all over Indy and outside of it doesn’t count as one of those moments.
Also, he’s known for awhile that I have DID and is totally cool with it. He hasn’t made any jokes nor has he called me out of my name. Last but certainly not least Morton made his point when he got in Junior’s face about guns. Today in the store we were walking and talking. I wasn’t paying much attention to where we were or what we were passing. The next thing I know he said, “I didn’t mean to do that.” We’d gotten too close to the gun section and he wanted me to know it was totally by accident.
It’s now 5am and I should join the dog and cat in my bed.

I love the cartoon. Very good for this post. Glad to know Fife jr has a good part in his heart too.
……. as asked, yes, my plan is still to move in the spring. He is easier to live with but that doesn’t mean things will be calm enough for me to stay. I’m still looking for a place to go come spring.
