It was my Birthday last week and from Wednesday on, until today, Monday the 13th of August I have not done a thing. It was a wonderful Birthday, the best I have had in a long time.
Problem: Angie did not call or wish me a happy birthday.

Time to get back the meaning of the site
I feel it is time to get back to what I brought this site online for. Blender and all things associated including Python scripting, branching into Unity and Unreal Engine (UE4) for games causing some forays into CSharp scripting and Blueprints for UE4 but I’ll steer clear of C++. I feel the courses I have been taking for Python, CSharp and VBA areas much as my brain can take for now.
I recently obtained assets for Unity pertaining to VR and they look very promising. I believe you get what you pay for with most things in life and if these assets live up to the prices on the asset store I received some good deals.
My apartment is fairly small even compared to the hotel room I had earlier and given this I should be able to model it quickly. I would then create a VR walk through which should be a much easier project than the entire hotel I had planned for the last couple of years. You can look forward to the posting of my work in progress during the next few weeks as the model progresses.
Personal Note:
I did not have to break anything to Angie last week. She was upset about not getting the 3700.00 or 400.00. I just don’t have the extra cash to give out. It was a tense afternoon last Tuesday when she was asking with her making the comments that she was going to stay married cause that is what I want, going go be with her dad, crap like that. In the end I said nothing, let her cool off and the next time she called all was well. Sunday she told me that the idiot wasn’t going to fight the divorce and wanted it done by the first of December. Lesson learned here and I actually learned this from Desiree’, keep calm, don’t loose your temper and she will eventually calm down.
Small Update: Angie called last night 7/25/2017 telling me he may have received the money to file for divorce before she can and she will be pissed. Was the a warning for me?
Until next week!
The first month
Angie has been in her apartment for a month as of Thursday of this week and I am finding her attitude much nicer to deal with. If I can’t send her money right when she wants it she does not cop an attitude, she just says ok and works with it. No yelling or anything. Even when Andy wanted another 500.00 last week, I said no and was met with a nice and calm response. At the same time I am making sure I can put aside extra money for savings each week that she will have no idea about. This little stash will help me work through things as Christmas, birthdays and just keeping a little cash on the side for emergencies which she does not believe in doing. She will thank me in the end when we can pay for presents that she could never do before.
Very nice weekend
We have auditors coming into work starting Monday morning which will make this week a bit hectic but I have had to deal with them before and can do it again. Looking forward to a great week!
She got her car
I’m such a sucker. No I’m not, I said when we first started talking again I wanted her to have transportation when all this was taken care of and, well, she does. She found a 2002 Ford Escape for 2250.00 and I after looking at the Blue Book value and all the reviews about the vehicle I was very happy to provide her with the money to purchase the car.
The care does have some problems, the ball joints and wheel bearings. Much better than an engine or transmission.
I just wish we could talk more than we do during the week. The time will come when we can. I really miss those days when she would send a text or call during the day.
I had a wonderful weekend, I was able to talk to Angie Saturday before her party and I did everything I am suppose to do and nothing I am not suppose to do, it was excellent.
Last weeks recap 2/27 – 3/3
Monday:
This day started out like a normal Monday. I hate them and hate going to work on them even more so I stayed home. I did not call in sick, I never call in sick when I am not sick. I just said I would not be in and left it at that. I spent the day watching prerecorded shows on my DVR and that is just about it. I talked to Angie a little bit and she made a strange comment at the end of the day she said “Is something going on with you?”. I’m not sure what she meant and she did not elaborate.
Tuesday:
I did not miss too much from taking a lazy day on Monday. Daily stuff.
Angie and I did not speak much during the day, only one or two short messages and that was all. When I was home she sent a reply to my comment about singlehandedly destroying most of my favorite shirts by leaving an ink pen in one of the pockets. I told her I just laughed it off and threw them all away. Her comment was “I wouldn’t have done that”. I was eating dinner when I received that message and moved the bezel on my smart watch, setting the reply to “I’ll call you later” and sent the reply. This was a mistake I had done with Sam previously but never with Angie and I did not want her to think I was putting her off but she responded with ‘OK’. I told her it was a mistake with my watch and that I can talk now. Her surprising response was ‘I can talk too’. I took that as an invitation to give her a call. Was I elated and we talked for about 40 minutes. No fighting just pleasant conversation.
After we were off the phone I finished dinner cleaned up and went to bed about 7:00 pm. I usually send her a good night message before I finally fall asleep for the night but I forgot this time and woke up about 9:25 thinking about sending her a message right then when the phone started ringing. It was her letting me know she had to drive to Perryville, MO and check on her son, a tornado had touched down. This phone call made my day/week, I don’t know but it seems like a sign we are getting back to where we were. That means so much.
Wednesday:
She has gone back to being herself. No conversation today, not sure if everything is OK with Andy or not
Thursday:
She has gone back to being herself. No conversation today, not sure if everything is OK with Andy or not
Friday:
The truck she wants is 4500.00 and neither one of us can afford that. I also found out that the person the is trying to buy this out from under her is her freaking husband. At least she keeps calling him ‘the idiot”.
Saturday:
Not much of anything today but to pasify her because I could not get the 4500.00 I sent her a thousand to play with. I hope she does good things with it and doesn’t just blow it.
Sunday:
Broke my tooth today. Suck big time, it is sharp and poking into the side of my mouth.
It’s a guy thing
This weekend I did my laundry as usual but this time I did not check my pockets for change, paper receipts, keys…. ink pens… and yes I left an ink pen in the pocket of one of my shirts. This little f-up cost me everyone of my favorite shirts. At 25.00 to 30.00 a pop that is a little chunk of change my friends. Especially when Angie keeps asking for money.
If she is ‘supposed’ try for six months on this marriage how come he isn’t taking care of the expenses? Medications when she is sick, bed for her grand babies?
If she needs things or wants to give gifts for the grand babies so she is not embarrassed I’ll be more than happy to take care of it as long as her plans to end this stupid marriage are truthful and she is giving the extra money I give her to Andy to pay off that debt.
Because I am not around her or talk to her all the time my mind tends to wander and believe me that is not a good thing.
I have been spending a lot of time going through the PMBOK guide, fifth addition, PMBOK being Project Manager Body of Knowledge. This is the beginning of my preparation for the Project Manager Professional certificate I plan on getting this year. They were giving this class to us for free here at work but I got tired of waiting so I enrolled in a Udemy class of the same topic myself. One week before they announced the class was still a go here. If I keep up the work I should be complete before my coworkers.
Great Weekend
Things seem to be looking up between Angie and me. She told her husband she wants a divorce last Sunday which would be the first step in us correcting the mistakes from the last six months. I’m totally sure how everything went but she seemed comfortable telling me about it and we have been getting along quite well so far. I feel really good about this but I can’t help but be nervous and this just goes along with my experience with women.
New Story Dice roll.
Doesn’t seem to be my year
What do I mean by that. Back, late 2014 I had found out that Desiree had passed away and I send multiple requests to her ex and sons for answers as in ‘what happened’? A couple weeks ago, as you know I found out she committed suicide. This was a total shock and very heartbreaking.
A few months back, I don’t recall exactly when, Angie stopped talking to me. She ‘lost’ her phone and wanted a new one at which point I reminded her she has insurance on the phone and just go pick out a new one. She hung up the and proceeded to do just that. I also, never heard from her again. I check the phone line a saw that no texts had been sent or received on the line and no data had been used. The phone had never been used and I could not get ahold of her. Long story short I suspended the line and still never heard from her and emails would go unanswered. I sent a message to one of her sons on Friday and found out she was married.
Great……. now I am truly alone
Back to it
It has taken some time but my move is finally complete. I now pick up things only as necessary to make my home a home. The final item I wanted for my new place was a surveillance camera recording when I am not around just for piece of mind sake.
I started back to my C# programing and Visual Studio again this weekend and come to realize I really need to keep practicing. I can feel the knowledge has not yet sunk into my long term memory yet although there were some moments where the muscle memory took affect over the mental memory and I was able to code some items knowing what I wanted and my fingers just did the typing 🙂
One of the best decisions I have made
The first full week in my new apartment is over and I think moving out of Towne Place Suites and moving in an apartment was a great decision. It is quiet, not too big or small but just about perfect. I’ll be getting some lamps and smart lighting this week to work with my echo allowing me to turn on lights when and where I want. Thinking of a smart thermostat as well but will have to check with management. I’ll put up some photos of the place when I get the lamps set up.
Watching some of the YouTube videos showing the integration of the Phillips Hue with the Amazon Echo looks really easy and I am getting excited.
