Squee! I mean, arrrggghh!
Sep 10th, 2006 by Babs

September 19th is International Talk Like a Pirate Day.

I better alert King Thomas and the Oliverettes to this, so that we may have the Peregrine Dragon ready to set sail in time!

*glares at muses* And any one of you who suggests I should dust off and work on “The King and Us” will be made to walk the plank!

Well, thhppptt! to WordPress on ZenCart. At least for now. Apparently since it was designed for use with the previous version it looks wonky with a layout designed specifically for the current version. Oh well.

I’ve decided when I shut down my business site on Tripod, I’m also going to delete A Web Site Created by Babs. It hasn’t been updated in eons, it never got much for hits anyway, there are many incomplete fics whose authors left the fandoms they were written for, and nobody gives a rat’s ass about “Save Our Fanworks” so it’s a complete waste of time archiving for prosperity. I’ll still be keeping my stuff, archived in my own writing blog, because, like, I’ve got thousands of fans that’ll just die if I don’t. [/sarcasm]

First of all I want to thank everyone for their support. It was greatly appreciated. Red, I did get your email. Thanks!

I called the Arlington Housing Authority first thing this morning to find out what would happen to our Section 8 certificate should I give Glenn the boot. I was hoping for an answer before I went down to the courthouse. I’m still waiting. :(

Got a call from a social worker. Made arrangements with her to stop by this afternoon to speak with me and the boys. She told me I needn’t worry about the certificate because they usually transfer it over to the family if the certificate’s holder has to be removed from the household.

Got a call from the DA’s office wondering if I was going to file a restraining order. Was given the option of a “No threat, No Abuse” order, which allows Glenn into the apartment, but if he as so much says anything resembling a threat I can get him removed. They were supposed to hold him until I got down there, but while I was filling out the paperwork he called me from home, so apparently not. I can go back in ten days to renew the order for a year, which I’m going to do. I can also change the restraining order to “No Contact” at any time. I’ll be doing that if Glenn doesn’t get himself into detox by the end of the ten days. If I were him I’d consider doing this ASAP, as I told him that if I smell alcohol on his breath AT ANY TIME, he’s out of here.

Spoke with the social worker this afternoon. She also thinks Glenn isn’t taking this seriously and will probably need to be stuck out on the street, penniless, before he even thinks about getting his shit together. She also spoke with Jarret. Ben blew us off. As soon as Glenn found out about the social worker’s visit (afterwards), he got busy cleaning the apartment and suggested I start watching my mouth around the boys. I already do, and while the apartment ain’t perfect it’s still livable, but it’s so nice to see he’s got his priorities straight. *rolls eyes*

Again, thanks everyone. Will continue to keep you updated.

I don’t know whether to cry or throw up. Glenn finally went too far tonight. Not only is he still inistant that the entire White race is out to get him, he now thinks I’m sticking up for my “own kind” by supposedly making him look like an ass. He also accused me of lying and of backpeddling. I tried to keep away from him, as he had been drinking, but he wouldn’t let me be. Kept getting in my face about it.

He’s now sitting in a cell at the Arlington police station after he attacked Ben, when he came to my defence.

I now have to decide whether to hope that a night in jail will be his wake up call, or if I should file a restraining order tomorrow.

I want a pipe. A nice (yet inexpensive) carved wooden tobacco pipe.

That is all.
