Sunday, after a little bit of arguing with Scott, I drove the Monte back to Canandaigua to take care of some business. Had to pick up Cassidy and get a bunch of shit from the house. When we went to the Falls my aunt gave my mom a casino voucher for a lil over $50 that she forgot to cash in when they all went up last month, so my mom sent me in to cash it and I forgot (honestly) to give her the money, so she'd been asking for that. Then I had to see Geoff. From what Johnny said last Wednesday shit was getting bad. No, I left him bad a month ago, so shit was worse than bad. I also had soem business with Greg and his side of the family to take care of. At the house I picked up my plates that I aint turned in yet, got info on my tickets, got some resume info I needed etc packed up Greg's VCR and shit to drop off to him or his sis. I still got his TV too. Anyway I went by Mo's, Johnny was looking TORE UP at 1:30pm... told me Geoff had hitch-hiked out to his mom's place. I said "shit got THAT bad?" and was thinking maybe he went out there to kill her (lawnmowers going round in my brain)??? So then I'm back on Main st hollerin up at Greg's open windows cuz the door at street level is locked, though I had the wrong door anyway. I knew I had the wrong door cuz Cassidy went right to the second door (locked also), which told me that Cassidy has been at his house (he's supposed to be on supervised visits). So now she's all upset not understanding that he's not home or not awake etc, so we walk across the street to the Pick to see if he's in there, I get right up to the front door bench and this guy is like "Well fancy seein you here" and is already on me for a hug before I realize it's Geoff. Autopilot usually knows the status and location of people I care about, so this was a surprise, AP musta been having a bad day that or we dont care about him as much as we used to... which is my guess
but anyway Geoff's lost another 10 pounds and looks like shit. We go for a ride, he fills me in... his "sponsor" a GIRL in recovery who works at clifton hospital as a drug counselor who previously had a fiance etc Geoff was soooo in love with her when he and I were almost getting back together, i knew I wasnt getting back together with Geoff when he said to me "I love ya Jo but this girl is gonna save my life!" I didnt remind him that I was the one keeping him alive the past 2 years but anyway I cautioned him "you know you shouldnt have a female sponsor" "if you sleep with her it'll be over" "she'll lose her job and fiance for you" which is what ended up happening, plus he made her relapse! Dumb bitch fell for his smile like I did, well I fell for the mohawk and then the smile. He hasnt had the mohawk since before I got pregnant. anyway he told me about all of that, turns out she was crazy, and full of lies (he didnt elaborate, plus remember this guy was half-cocked talkin to him so...). Then we drive around for a while, Im looking for Papa vanfleet, was spozed to get dinner with him, he still hasnt seen Cssidy. So while looking for VF I find Greg at the Farmers. i tell him Cass is in the car. He walks out there and sees Geoff and says "looks like someone else is in the car too" I say "Dont start" "Dont you have a new guy in Batavia?" then he actually notices the car "holy shit, whose car is THIS?? NASCAR tires!" We hang there for an hour. Geoff got himself a beer and played some pool. Greg and I sat at a picnic table out front. I told him that I'd be staying with this new man indefinitely, that it's not a money or flashy car thing, I finally found someone respectable. He was crying on and off then and the rest of the day, at one point he asked if I wanted to have another kid with him, get back together... "if I can stay sober for the rest of the summer will you move in with me?" the whole day was very depressing. All the other loser drunks at the the bar werent being snooty about a baby being there but still after Greg walked in with her to show the bartender his pretty girl I said to everyone out front "Not what the court meant by supervised visitations but whatever" and got some laughs. After a while we all piled in the car to get some smoke. Geoff was like "what are we doing?" and I said "We're gonna see how many of my drunken ex's I can fit in the car and then Im gonna drive it off the pier!" And really, if I coulda had Lon tied up in the trunk, I would have put that bitch underwater, dont get me wrong I'm in love with that car but you dont get too many opportunities to kill your top 3 heartbreakers simultaneously.... Anyway we got some smoke, Geoff rolled a J in the grave yard and we smoked half of it talking about how badly all 3 of us need to get our shit together. The day ended shortly thereafter. earlier when it was just me n Mohawk Boy he asked what my plans were for the night, meaning "I need a place to sleep and damn you lookin good..." i told him Im basically living with the new guy "what new guy" "the guy that I called that day to come rescue me..." he barely remembered me leaving him that night, and he didnt remember me losing my job until I reminded him that it was mostly cuz of him..... so nearing the end of the amount of time I wanted to spend on tying loose ends... (I missed Scott the whole time too, and imagined Scott's reaction to what I was doing... "I was only equalizing my karma...") I leaned into Greg and said "G needs a place to crash tonight and maybe for a few days..." and he went over to Geoff and said "we never had differences, no fights between us right... Jo sez you need a place to crash..." so there ya go, I hooked em up and they can either help each other get sober or help kill each other. Outta my hands. Both of em that day cried on my shoulder saying they wanna get sober. Greg cried thanking me for letting him see Cass. it was all AP's idea and as far as I know theyre still living together. Gee, I wonder what they talk about ; )

Always remember to quit while you're ahead.
