Ok... Seems I'm getting into the "dont have time even to blog" mode that most of those I know have followed for the last couple of months... At least my mode has been for a few days, so no harm done. What have I been up to?

I'm sick. Yup, again. But this time I got sick because I kinda got carried away with the cleaning/moving thing. You'll see what I mean...

Been using my whole brain at work, so getting out completely drained... Well, thats a change. At least I am not getting too bored, I'm actually doing something, you know, workin'for a living... That's great. But since I've been so drained, I get home straight to bed...

Well, on Friday had to take two hours during the morning so I could reach my lawyer and get an affidavit for the home seller swearing that I will pay the bit that I will owe her after the closing date. Yay for that, first mission accomplished. Moved on to next target, deal with the devil... Renewed and got a bit for straightening out all other messy accounts plus getting half the bit for the home seller... Yay for second mission accomplished. Got to my office just in time for a quick dinner and back to work. Called Retiro and the home owner have not sent the cancellation from her bank, so the closing date is stuck until she does that. On my side, everything is done and at least the papers are moving in SJ so the approval is a step further advanced... My stress levels are just in the yellow line. During the night I got 10 green 19gallon bins and 5 green 10gallon bins to start my next mission: Preparing my stuff for the move... Began at 9pm, stayed up until around 2am.

Saturday... Woke up early in the morning. And the mission continued. Filled up the green bins, packed them in my Rav4 and delivered them at my aunt's place 3 times before 1pm. On the 4th voyage packed old bins that I had. So... To my aunts house one last time. I arranged all bins in the "bird's room". Surprisingly they didnt take too much space as I expected... At least I know that my furniture will be ok in there when I move it next week... Back to the present, after the green bin stacking, went to my small room (I have 2 rooms in my aunts house, the small doll's room and the Egyptian room). Didnt know where to start... but grabbed a green box and began stacking Barbie dolls on it. Then Jem & Holograms & Misfits... Then Rainbow Brite & Gang... Baby cry for you, BabyBallerina... RetroDoll... Poochie, and some old plush dolls. After THAT, placed all SheRa dolls inside the Crystal Castle, and closed it so the castle stays neatly creeping on the wall's bookshelf. Then, placed all the Strawberry Shortcake dolls inside the Big Strawberry Shortcake Mansion, including the snail picnic cart and the round ride... LOL Turned around the mansion and it is all neatly packed... The whole point is: I need to make this room Kitty Proof, since this will be the room where my kitties will dwell until I make further decisions, like moving to the house that I'm gonna get... So... After that, decided to paint the old wall behind the bookshelf... and then decided to paint the bookshelf bone white as the wall... then somehow ended up painting the ceiling as well, since it had naughty black patches (ermmm... seems that will be my hobby after I move in, the whole house needs a ceiling painting facewash...). After that, started putting some of the bookshelf stuff back (the things that go in high places), but had to stop. The whole room is crowded and I need to clear it... That will be a big project in itself... Anyway... I think I did more than I expected on one day. So, went back home by 8pm.

After a shower and a nice dinner, my feet were definitively aching BUT I was not sleepy... I guess its the stress or adrenaline pump or whatever... So, had the brilliant idea of begin washing the cats. They still had fleas, and I wont risk bringing fleas to my alma mater dwelling... Soooo... It was 9pm when I began the quest to clean my kitties and battle the screaming fleas again. This time I used Sargeants shampoo first, let it stay for 5 minutes, take it off and then use Hartz shampoo as second bath, let it stay another 5 min and then wash the kitty for a last time... Two baths... A funny, not so funny, amusing, ironic, deadly task. Hmmm... I guess it could have been worst. Began with the heavy-weights: Roxy, Crow and Isis. Roxy wouldnt stop moving, Crow woudlnt stop moaning, and Isis wouldnt stop screaming... Placed Roxy and Isis together in a taxi, and Crow all by himself. Then, the turn for bathing the chiquitos came up... Cyric was a bliss. He seemed clueless to what was going on, and just moved to wherever I placed him. His brother Kyonne was a different story. Kyonne behaved as the kitty that runs from PepeLePuh. LOL But I got both chiquitos bathed and flea-ridden... and in the same taxi they falled asleep. After the 5 kitties I had no strenght left in me... Although I still had 3 more kitties to bath, I just couldnt do anything else... I was beat! Went to sleep at 2am.

Sunday morning... At 9am woke up and had breakfast. Five wet kitties were still jailed, but I couldnt let them wander off without making sure the area was clear... So... Next mission, clean the house so fleas are exterminated for sure. E/C, living room, kitchen and bed was all browsed, inspected, moved, brushed, mopped, sprayed with anti-flea serum and prepped for the 5 mayor havok-makers. One by one I took the bathed kitties, applied the anti-flea liquid behing their heads (it should last a month, we'll see how that works), and so they roamed the house once more. As the taxies were left emptied, the three kitties that had missed bath last night were placed inside: Set was very upset, Kali was enraged and possessed, and Michita was like whatever... Began the bathing session with Kali. I was afraid she would bite me/scratch me again, but things ran smoothly. Michita was blissful, since she has been through hell she has the "I dont care I have been through everything this is nothing" cool attitude... Set was angry, and would attempt to break of my hold using complicated spins combined with diverse back-kick tactics... I was too aware of his tricks, expecting an attact at all times, and so he was subdued and bathed... LOL Left the three amigos caged each one on different taxies. Placed newspaper on the taxies floor so the wetness would be dismissed... Setito wet me with his paw, hilariously vengeful as always... I finally took a long bath, washed my hair and had all the intention to keep up with cleaning my small room at auntie's place... Right... Took off from the apartment by 7pm. Arrived over there, ate something and realized I had a slight coughing that was annoying, and that every muscle and bone in my body ached. So... Decided to leave the room for Monday since it was Labor day and I would be free of work... Right... Went home, took allergy/sinus pills, coughing serum and to sleep... after releasing the prisoners of Askaban and applying the back-neck antiflea serum... Sleep I said? Uh-uh... No way. The coughing became violent and wouldnt let me sleep. I battled it for a long while until I finally surrendered to exaustion.

Monday, Labor day... How fitting... I opened my eyes briefly around 9 but had to go back to sleep because I simply could not will my body to get up. Around midday I was on my feet... Feeling miserable with sinus pressure, runny nose, itchy eyes and hellishly itchy throat... Went in my car, and I recalled I needed to change its oil and filter, so ended up in Pep Boys. That was a good move... The car had almost no oil. It was on the edge of breking up. So... The car was filled up and after taking its vitamins it agreed to run wherever I pleased. So... Went to Hormigueros to try and pay the rent... Awful weather, hellish rain... And the rent could not be paid because the people were not in their office... So... Went to deliver dirty clothing to my mothers dwelling. Granny was there, rain began again and had to make a small camping over there... It was then that I realized how bad I was feeling, I could barely move and felt like walking in clouds... So... Gathered clean bedding & clothing and went to my aunt's for dinner. Arrived there, my mother was there with a friend of hers, and I went straight to bed. Almost fall asleep. Auntie cooked, and so I ate and then went away because I knew that if I stayed I wouldnt be alive for long. Arrived home straight to bed. Slept until 10pm... Woke up coughing, itching... and the sleep wore off... Took meds and nothing. Drank a Sleepytime tea and nothing... So, I am here... Its 1am... And Im trying to get sleepy... Coughing, feeling like crap, have work tomorrow (today), and could not clear my small room as I wanted to because I had no strenght left in me... Ah! Whatever...

I just sighted, so it may mean that I am tired and ready for a nap. I hope so... Well, special thanks to Groundel who was kind enough to help me with moving and cleaning... Seems he may catch something as well, he was sneezing and his eyes were watery... I appreciate your help, always.

LightShadow and Joe were missed. Thanks for the messages, Joe, as you can see I have been quite busy! :) Hope to get in touch with you soon, guys!

Coriolis and NoName, and Gruendel: Ok... Here's an idea... You all have blogs... How about writing something on them, even if its just babling or poetry or quotes? Just anything to signal that you guys are alive. Hey, I check your blogs everyday. I always have time for you. ;) So Blog! Damnit!

Lucinda has been taking flea-control measures of her own... Good luck, you'll need it! LOL

Havent been able to check Trillian or be online to talk with Taz or Zordak. I miss you guys!

Havent heard from Trilogy. He probably had too much work with this long-weekend thing...

Well... Thats the news for my lovely weekend... It went fast, it was too busy for my own health, and it is only the beginning... Shesh! Well... I hope I can update auntie's place while I'm there, the house needs serious work. And I hope that by EOM I get my dwelling so work on it can begin... I am really excited about that. The house has so much potential for being the haunted castle that I have always dreamed of! We'll see... Please send good vibes.
