I'm home now after installing the flooring for Jennifer, and running her to CVS for more bandages. She finally got a full, long shower washing off more of the bad memories. I helped with finally getting the bandage and tape residue off so she's beginning to feel better about herself. Then I noticed the large area on her forehead where the skin had literally been shaved off. Those of you who have had that kind of injury know it is a lot like road rash, always itchy and painful. She is handling it pretty well, better than me actually.
While driving home I just kept getting more angry. I caught myself before the road rage kicked in and I hurt someone. Thankfully I wasn't caught speeding when I found myself greatly exceeding the limit on the open road. The reason has to do with my first few minutes upon arrival at Jennifer's place. The neighbors next door were moving out. The rather large woman was giving me the evil eye as I walked to Jennifer's door with my tools. Jennifer was out getting breakfast tacos so I went down for another load of tools. By the time I got back up the stairs the woman was tearing into Jennifer for making them move out. She kept bellowing something about Jennifer banging on the door and scaring her mother. Jennifer was polite and apologetic saying she had no idea what the woman was talking about, but the bitch just wouldn't stop. The she dropped the bomb... "I guess you got yours when that guy beat the shit out of you".
Wait, what the fuck did you just say?
My mind was swirling in anger but I went in the door with Jennifer and disengaged from the bitch. Jennifer is crying again, fuck. Thanks for absolutely nothing, bitch!
When I cool down I have more to post...
BTW, this is a heavily edited version of my original thoughts for this post.
