Douglas the dick kicked everyone out of my mother in law's house. What a fucker. I helped move Miss Ennui and my wife's stuff over to their new pad. It's a fucking dumpster. It's this huge building that's getting remodeled so it's like this big construction site and the people who run the building are in a fight with the construction company so nothing's done.

No shit. The hallways are only halfway drywalled and then halfway insulated. There's only subflooring everywhere. Half of the patios and balconies are blackwrapped for stucco and half are still wood frame. There's drapes and scaffolding on the whole outside of the building. It looks like a derelict. But fuck it. They have two bedrooms and two bathrooms with air-conditioning, a fireplace, and parking. And they only have to pay the utilities and dues, so they'll both be living there for less than $600 a month all together. Not bad.

The good thing is that my wife was smart and never had her mail delivered at her mom's place. She still has her box on 2nd street. The utilities are still in the owner's name so basically, Dougie boy won't be able to find her. He was there when I was moving out the last of the stuff this morning and he was all frustrated. He asked me where everyone was going and I said to hell, eventually. Then he just looks at me and says can't you ever be serious even for a minute? And I told him I was serious. Then I gave him the address I give people who fuck with me. I got it from that Carey chick. It's a vacant lot downtown they bulldozed last summer. What a dickhead. I hope my mother in law is nice and upset when she comes out of hiding.

The big job is going smooth. I'm expecting some dips and curves up ahead. That's how smooth it's going. Dickie and Sleeves are suprising the fuck out of me. It's unbelievable. I tell them to do shit and they do it. And they don't bitch about it, or fuck it up, or call me 18,000 times to ask me how to do it. I'm amazed.
