... Fasten your seatbelts! LOL
Another week that is simply going away as fast as it can… Yesterday the mage didn’t have work in the night, so when I came out of work he invited me for dinner. That was nice, feels as if we were playing an adult’s game or something… :P
We checked out the house and found out that the windows guy has actually been working there. The fence doors look good, the adaptation taking the old ones that were laying around was really well done. Only the screens and the screen doors from upstairs to actually complete that Phase1. Don’t know if he began the ceiling thing, but hope he will. Gotta ask him if he can also do the window edging and a hole for the A/C. Hopefully it all won’t get over $1,500.
Little by little tasks are being completed. And I simply love it when a plan comes together…
Today… Gotta attend a reunion at the conference room during the morning… And gotta ask for permission to go out in the afternoon so I go to the university to give them Groundel’s papers. Hopefully will actually be sleeping by 6pm… If there are no further disruptions in the Force…

Para variar un poco...
Solo un poco...
So... Last night was at a pharmacy during whee hours of the morning after visiting Groundel, delivering a small meal and then pickig up my doctor's pill order. What I slept was not enough, so waking up early was followed by being sick. So I guess that was an omen, o algo. As the day passed at least I found some time to actually share some minutes with the mage. Got a battery for his Blazer, food, my birth certificate and two other papers I needed to get.Later on got the good news that Groundel was getting out of the hospital (finally) and that he had the paperwork for his university... So, got the papers, got his prescriptions and delivered them to him, and then went home.
My plan was to sleep a while, but found that I was quite awake, so... Just browsed the net. LightShadow was the guest star on todays episode, and that was quite cool... It is always nice to share time with people that follow your thoughts wavelenght.
Not much else going on...

What dreams have been...
A reminisce of the past few days…
Saturday 18th SICKBAY 101 Spent the whole day hibernating in my bed… Could not stand the light. The mage passed by and took me to the pharmacy to get some meds for my allergy/cold thinguie… Went back to my bed as soon as I was in my homy ground.
Sunday 19th SICKBAY 102 More sleeping, more meds, more pain… Same old, same old. Not in the mood for people or for anything at all… Just laying in bed, in darkness… It was nice while it lasted. I guess that in reality it was a body-break… my body making me stop and simply rest and sleep it all out. So much for that… what I slept and rested on this weekend was more than drained by the week ahead…
Monday 20th Still in sick mode. I really have no idea of what happened this day… Sheesh! That codeine medicine really screws you up!
Tuesday 21th CAR BLUES and HAPPY FEET The day were my starter almost died and where the mage cracked up, o algo. The day began really early, as I had many things in my agenda… but when I got to my car to actually get off the house it wouldn’t start. After almost 15 minutes of troubleshooting the engine, it had mercy on my pitiful attempts and finally started up. Went to pick up the mage so he would tell me where I could find an electro-mechanic to solve my car’s problem… So, left the car in the middle of a city’s car place and walked the walk towards a hearty breakfast. It occurred to me that I actually had an eye doctor appointment so I went with the change of script and went to the eye doctor… Good news is my eyes are ok, less astigmatism than the usual and same nearsightedness… Went on to the bank, the mage performed some magic tricks and so back to the car place, where Ravy was happy after a new change… From there to pay the month’s loans and to take auntie to her bank and to grocery hunt. After arriving almost at night, lunch. The mage took me to see Happy Feet and yes, it is a happy movie indeed… Well, happy in matters of music, a bit moody about the being an outsider fact… which got to us in some ways… not so bad, mind you. So, the mage took me for a small trek through Joyuda finishing up in our house. After a while doing what we do best, talking and talking and talking, I remembered my cel was in silent mode. Realized that I had 10 missing calls from Groundel, so landed at the hospital at midnight with a healthy treat. The half-orc seemed to cheer up a bit…
Wednesday 22th IT WAS THE DAY BEFORE THANKSGIVING… And all through the house was madness… Ugh! Got up in time to get the special bandages for Groundel, find out where in blazes is the home where they are keeping my grandfather and visit him, and had lunch with the mage. Went to get some lights and check some prices, and got a salad for the half-orc. Visited Groundel in the afternoon, watched X-Files & Charmed and some comedies. At home, checked some auctions, waited for the mage to arrive… And soon it was past midnight. Since I got a small toy, a brand new iPod, that I kept on checking and tweaking it until 5am… yes, I was stressed because somehow I put it in German… nevermind THAT… so, yup, went to sleep at that time.
Thursday 23rd THANKSGIVING DAY The day that turkeys all over the world fear… Well, in my case, not only turkeys… By 8:00am there were noises in the house… I knew, my greatest fear, the worst nightmare… People visiting and staying for the whole freakin’ day… Mommy, her bf, my granny… enough people to put me in an insane bad mood. Went out of my bedroom by midday, as I needed breakfast. By 2pm I was out of the house. My plan was to go to see the mage, but since he warned me that he was playing I decided I was in a bad enough mood to get in rampage mode so instead took some turkey day goodies to Groundel. Stayed at the hospital the whole afternoon. One of Groundel’s friends passed by and made the evening funny-er. Got a call from the mage around dinner time, he had gone to get me at my house but I was not there and my family was still dwelling on it… Ugh! Well, the mage arrived at the hospital, we stayed a bit more then flew away to his house to have an actual Thanksgiving dinner. Raven made a phone apparition (wheeee!), and then we crashed. While watching The Break-Up, my father called to give his Thanksgiving greeting. It was nice hearing from him and from his wife. Hate the fact that he thinks that my dear family is so united and that I am the ne that doesn’t look for them… My dear sister doesn’t call me, and I simply got tired of more than 25 years of following & looking for other people’s asses. If they want to see me and share time with me, let them come. If someone doesn’t call me up or look for me, then that someone is very unimportant in my life.
Friday 24th BLACK FRIDAY The day of killing sprees and more… Went with the mage to his communion prep course, so the morning passed away fast. She gave him green light to go ahead and talk with the priest to get his First Communion. Met the Munchkin and her mom so the mage would fulfill his duty and spend some time with the kid by the way. He seemed surprised that the Oni and me actually were talking without trying to kill each other for a long time, while he played with Mandy. See? We can be civil… Sometimes… LOL From there we went to get some food and to check some house improvement stuff in Cabo Rojo. Went to get some yummy ice-cream and to our house so we delivered the few things we got. From there we rented two movies. Went to have dinner at my house, and there it was a What Not to Wear marathon… Oh, dear… So… We went to visit Groundel, kept watching WntW while torturing him… then to dwell in a pharmacy for while since I was in browsing mode and Coriolis called… He said he would be around my hometown on Saturday, so we kinda made plans for the day… Hmph… Finally, we went to the mage’s den and watched Last Holiday. Funny and lighthearted, loved it. Arrived home at 1am, and couldn’t go to sleep right away because my room was such a big mess… Cleaned up and by 4am finally went on to rest… in peace.
Saturday 25th EMPEROR’s CLOTHING DAY Woke up by midday because of the sound of my lovely cel. Coriolis stated he would be at the mall, eating breakfast. U-hum… Sure… Right. So… Dressed up, ate, went to get the mage… And Coriolis vanished from our lives… I’m still waiting for his returning my calls… Went with the mage to the mall, and did our long search for the right attire for his special event on Saturday night (company party). Of course, indulged ourselves with food and some clothing that was simply irresistible. After walking the walk, went on to get a coffee brake and then to church. By 9pm got a salad for the half-orc, and delivered the goodies at the hospital. Groundel was watching the Goonies so we watched until it finished. Finally arrived at the den to watch An American Haunting (yes, quite predictable… but it was ok in a way…). Went home, and this time I was actually sleeping by 2:30am… A big improvement in matters of catching z’s.
Sunday 26th COUPLE”S COUNSELING 106 FINISHED So… Woke up pretty early, before midday actually… to do the laundry. Got a call from Lady Death as a veterinary emergency counseling… Hope Egy gets better. Anyway, my grandmother called saying some people visited and were heading my auntie’s way. Ugh! I despise people that never go home and that suddenly get the urge to bother one… Family… Yeah, right… Groundel called, spoke some with him, but had to hang up to at least take a bath and get semi-decent. Not that I stopped doing the laundry… that task took me more than 4 hours… Yup, 3 weeks without doing that kinda catches up with you… The people arrived, I guess I made a bad first impression since I actually ignored them and kept working… Called up the mage to give him my day-so-far update… Then the girls decided they wanted to see the cats so I had to stop what I was dong and show my kids. After that the visit turned surprisingly delightful. The older girl has 6 cats, and keeps pics of them in her cel… So I am not so insane about keeping my 8 cats… LOL Cool. After some sharing of kitty anecdotes, it was time for them to leave. The girls mom had some sharing of her own about the cats and some fishes she has… in the meanwhile everyone was on the car about to leave her. Anyway, said our goodbyes and ta-da! Went to eat a yogurt since I was starting to shake… 5 hours since breakfast and no food or drink whatsoever does that evil trick to me. Waiting for dinner went to check auctions, took another bath and got dressed up. The mage arrived by 7pm to pick me up so we went to our final Sunday meeting with the old couple that is supposed to be teaching us how to succeed in marriage… as if that were something teachable… (sight) Anyway, the last meeting was faster than the others, and I took some pics for the scrapbook. Next week shall be the closure of the PreNup course… Yup, next Sunday it will be non-stop fun since 7:30 am to 5:00 pm… Longest, most annoying part is over and out. Amen. After that we went to get coffee and a sandwich, and felt like making it a movie night. Saw Casino Royale… which was surprisingly ok… Just ditch the idea of who James Bond is and let a Terminator do the tasks… Whatever. Was in the mood for action so didn’t care much about it being almost an anti-classic-Bond film… Prequel… Yeah, I guess… Marriage? A death sentence screamed loud and clear. Pretty long, went out after midnight… Got four missing calls from Groundel so that meant he was really hungry… Got him a salad, visited him and stayed until 1:30am. The mage delivered me home. I prepared a package that I must mail, and finally went into my bed by 3:00am. Lovely, huh?
Monday 27th UNCLE MACHETE’s B-DAY!!! So… Here I am, back at work… No biggies so far… Hope that I kinda made a nice record of past events… More to come. So far I cannot say I have been bored… And I am definitively living by the motto that I should tattoo in my back “I’ll sleep when I die”. Gotta get some wide masking tape for the package I must mail… Gotta deliver the movies… If Lady Death doesn’t find a lift then that adds up to the must do list when I get off work… Should deliver a salad to Groundel and most definitively will go to sleep as soon as I get home. I feel drained!!! Coriolis called, his crappy cel didn't get my calls or messages... Figures... Happenned other times... So, pissed at him mode is off. For now...
So… We are officially in Xmas… Things are looking good from my side of the mountain, and Neverland has turned into quite a busy place. I am pissed at some attitudes from people, but I guess that’s what friends are for… Nevermind that, you take the good and you take the bad… But the bad can STILL piss you off! The mage and I keep things sizzling, not a big effort, quite a delight. Still, we both get quite disappointed at our acquaintances, because somehow we put so much importance to them and we are just a casualty in their lives… It sucks. But that is life. And at least we have each other. And in the end, that is all that matters now. The rest is just icing of the cake. We are both grateful at all the blessings that have been bestowed on us, and we hope we can share with others the joy and happiness we’ve come to know.
December creeping on us... Wedding stuff to do... Stress shall begin with the new year, but big deal. We are both pretty involved in everything we do. Need to get some paperwork done. Need to conplete the house's main projects to make it a feasible place for a gathering. Hopefully that will be taken care of this week. Depending on how much the ceiling-fence thing cost then the cistern is next. Hope it all turns out good. Should get most papers during December... I'm wondering about the Confirmation but that is another story to be taken care of... Need to get the dispense from the local nearby church... Need to get the pre-nup agreement on January or February. And need to design the invitations and decide wether or not there will be an official reception... And whether or not we will travel somewhere. We both have a full schedule ahead. Lovely. Busy. Just as I like it.
Make your own ending… True story.

Sick
... para variar...
Sore throat, freezing to death, runny nose, right ear bothering me, body pain… I guess I have the flu… Guessing… Ugh! Of course… I’ll have a whole week as freebie from work and so I must get sick. It is destiny. It is also my body saying “I need rest DAMNIT”. It’s been more than 3 months since my last cold, so I guess it’s not so bad… I wanted to stay home, I feel beyond lousy and tired and drained… My eyes hurt and my head is spinning so I’m fading fast… No tiki gods around…
Got an ipod, so one wish came true. Not too much into techie stuff, but plenty into music stuff. I need music to do everything, so I’m starting small… Let’s see if I get addicted to it.
Finally received the box of 500+ pictures that I sent to Canada for developing almost 6 months ago… It was a heavy box. Guess I’ll have plenty for scrapbooking therapy…
At midday should be the pavo celebration… Yay, free food! I wish people would actually use the moment to thank God for everything good and bad, but I know most are in just for the joda and drinks… Whatever…
The mage should meet Heroina for his 3rd installment of the holy kind… I wonder how many classes he needs to take. I wonder if he’s actually getting the prayers… LOL Priests and mages don’t mix too well… But you gotta admit that a cleric/mage is the best character you can make… Well, it’s my favorite class combination, so yes, the DM is very biased… :P
TGIF… Groundel may get the news that he can go home… He spoke with Michael and should be getting shelter at Michael’s place until his mother’s leg is cured and there is no risk of bacteria. Or until he gets the skin wrap and it heals. Or until he decides to get into a plane. Whatever comes first.
Nothing of further interest… Wanna see Happy Feet, maybe tomorrow if my sickness doesn’t eat me up... I shall DO something in my Thanksgiving week, even if it’s the last thing I do… THE LAST THING I DO! (Y la aldea sigue ahí)

Ooh, ooh, ooh,
People are talkin', talkin' 'bout people,
I hear them whisper, you won't believe it.
They think we're lovers kept under cover,
I just ignore it but they keep sayin' we...
Laugh just a little too loud,
Stand just a little too close,
We stare just a little too long.
Maybe they're seein', somethin' we don't darlin'.
Let's give 'em somethin' to talk about
(Somethin' to talk about)
Let's give 'em somethin' to talk about
(Somethin' to talk about)
Let's give 'em somethin' to talk about
How about love?
I feel so foolish, I never noticed
You act so nervous, could you be fallin' for me?
It took the rumor to make me wonder,
Now I'm convinced that I'm goin' under.
Thinkin' 'bout you every day,
Dreamin' 'bout you every night.
I'm hopin' that you feel the same way,
Now that we know it, let's really show it darlin'.
Let's give 'em somethin' to talk about
(Somethin' to talk about)
A little mystery to figure out
(Somethin' to talk about)
Let's give 'em somethin' to talk about
How about love?
Let's give 'em somethin' to talk about babe,
A little mystery to figure out.
Let's give 'em somethin' to talk about,
How about love? Ooh...
Listen to 'em baby
(Somethin' to talk about)
A little mystery won't hurt 'em
(Somethin' to talk about)
Let's give 'em somethin' to talk
How about our love, love, love, love
Whoowhoo mmmm hey oohh whoowhoo
About love, love, love, love
How about they talk about it? uh huh
Talk about love...

At midday should be the pavo celebration… Yay, free food! I wish people would actually use the moment to thank God for everything good and bad, but I know most are in just for the joda and drinks… Whatever…
The mage should meet Heroina for his 3rd installment of the holy kind… I wonder how many classes he needs to take. I wonder if he’s actually getting the prayers… LOL Priests and mages don’t mix too well… But you gotta admit that a cleric/mage is the best character you can make… Well, it’s my favorite class combination, so yes, the DM is very biased… :P
TGIF… Groundel may get the news that he can go home… He spoke with Michael and should be getting shelter at Michael’s place until his mother’s leg is cured and there is no risk of bacteria. Or until he gets the skin wrap and it heals. Or until he decides to get into a plane. Whatever comes first.
Nothing of further interest… Wanna see Happy Feet, maybe tomorrow if my sickness doesn’t eat me up... I shall DO something in my Thanksgiving week, even if it’s the last thing I do… THE LAST THING I DO! (Y la aldea sigue ahí)

Ooh, ooh, ooh,
People are talkin', talkin' 'bout people,
I hear them whisper, you won't believe it.
They think we're lovers kept under cover,
I just ignore it but they keep sayin' we...
Laugh just a little too loud,
Stand just a little too close,
We stare just a little too long.
Maybe they're seein', somethin' we don't darlin'.
Let's give 'em somethin' to talk about
(Somethin' to talk about)
Let's give 'em somethin' to talk about
(Somethin' to talk about)
Let's give 'em somethin' to talk about
How about love?
I feel so foolish, I never noticed
You act so nervous, could you be fallin' for me?
It took the rumor to make me wonder,
Now I'm convinced that I'm goin' under.
Thinkin' 'bout you every day,
Dreamin' 'bout you every night.
I'm hopin' that you feel the same way,
Now that we know it, let's really show it darlin'.
Let's give 'em somethin' to talk about
(Somethin' to talk about)
A little mystery to figure out
(Somethin' to talk about)
Let's give 'em somethin' to talk about
How about love?
Let's give 'em somethin' to talk about babe,
A little mystery to figure out.
Let's give 'em somethin' to talk about,
How about love? Ooh...
Listen to 'em baby
(Somethin' to talk about)
A little mystery won't hurt 'em
(Somethin' to talk about)
Let's give 'em somethin' to talk
How about our love, love, love, love
Whoowhoo mmmm hey oohh whoowhoo
About love, love, love, love
How about they talk about it? uh huh
Talk about love...

Wishlist
for the old red and white bearded guy...
Wednesday: At my office. My diet-milleage was returned to me because of many errors (how strange) and more reports that must be filed (and created and given birth to… Ugh!), so spent the whole afternoon on that endeavour… Went to get my monthly groceries so I stop the fast-food addiction at least until Xmas… Not healthy and getting expensive-r by the second… The tax monster finally landed on Neverland and every little human is very afraid… Was too beat to get to the hospital, but did talked to Groundel on the phone for almost an hour before catching serious Z’s… The mage teleported home and so we saluted the new day. Back to Morpheus lands…
Thursday: Today I arrived in time to be a hero and make a PC work… just a change of battery… Wheeeee, o algo. Ermm… Figuring out new reports and trying to keep mself from falling asleep on the kb…
Just made a wishlist of sorts, thinking why not… Maybe I’ll get lucky playing the lotto… What I wish Santa would deliver this Xmas?
• a black 4gb ipod with the car thinguie and the stereo speaker thinguie
• a cistern for the house
• a nice orthopedic queen bed
• corsets, corsets and more corsets
• boots, boots and more boots
• Corpse Bride thinguies
• Emily Strange thinguies with cats depictions
• Egyptian or Hindu items for the house
• Movie posters from the old monsters classics (Dracula, Frankie, Creature Black Lagoon)
• Neon stuff
• Glow in the Dark stuff
• Jem & the Holograms memorabilia
• Catwalk Kitties dolls (yes, I collect them SO WHAT?)
• Thundercats DVD collection
• Season 1 & 2 of Carnivale on DVD
• Captain Herlock original TV series on DVD
• Hellraiser DVD 6-movies collection
• Xena: Warrior Princess season 1&2 on DVD
• Hercules: Legendary Journeys Seasons 1-6 on DVD
• Peace and love to humankind…
So, after dwelling on wishes and taxes, must return to the real world. Groundel needs to meet a social worker so he gets some answers for some problems, but that is on the go… The doctor should get the results from the bone scan between today and tomorrow. Will he stay another week at the hotel…erm… hospital? It’s been 16 days, and seems longer… So far, so good. He is bearing with things… Even got a date with a nurse… :P
My people: Coriolis seems happy enough. Raven has been making calls and getting stuff done for Groundel. She is still wondering if she will go or not to the land of uncle Sam… I think it is the best choice to improve the boy’s situation, even the guy from the conference told me so. LadyDeath painting and playing nurse for Iggy, la gatita cagona, who was sterilized a week ago. No word from NoName and Gaby. Kara’s baby growing by the minute and looking happy. Zordak will play social butterfly on Saturday, and keeps on being his lovely self.
Me: Waiting for the counselor’s thinguie. Need to know if I will get into the program, if not then I will simply fill the papers to begin the PhD, period. One or the other… But whatever I gotta do, the moment is now… Job sucking as usual, but not so bad… trying to be a bit positive about it all. Been told about an activity for a children’s orphanage in Xmas… don’t know if I will get into it, depends on my mood after Thanksgiving. Everything else in life seems and feel a bit ethereal… hate waiting for people to do their thing… But, whatever. Will try priming & painting the house next week, at least on the outside. And will try making the inside a bit shapelier. Feeling a bit melancholic, but balancing it out with high doses of hope and happiness thanks to the local caster of spells.

News break
...
You take the good, you take the bad… Very,very VERY tired. Just want a vacation in a far away island where all I can do is hibernate in an A/C room for at least 3 days… My undead state is not so advanced, so I do feel things, you know? Ugh!
Yesterday at Aguadilla… Formatted, installed, updated… Damn computers had plenty of my attention…
Groundel will have a bone scan today. That will decide the fate of his hospital vacation. A social worker is supposed to pass by to see if she can help figure out what to do with him so he actually recovers before the skin wrap… Right now he can easily get any bacteria from anything around him with that exposed wound, and going back to his mom’s home is a hindrance because she has celulitis and that rises the chance he will get an infection again. Hopefully and ideally the social worker can find a recovery home for him, o algo. Fingers crossed.
Coriolis excited about cake testing… Finding out information on that matter… Good job, Kyonnenne…
Zordak demonstrating what he’s made of… and so he keeps on delighting me with so many good surprises.
I am tired… did I mention that? Drained… Been moody and sad these last days, thanks to warp zones through memory lane… Wish I could do more on certain matters, but can’t… Hope that honesty and faith and goodness prevail in a world of chaos and evil.

Hospitals and dragons...
yeah right...
Groundel still at the hospital. His attitude is not so bad, and the doctors say that his condition is improving… No infection in the rest of his foot, and the bone is healing, amen. They cut more than what I expected, the heavy bandages that were used at first gave the impression that they only cut the finger’s base… Now that the bandages are light one can see it is actually half the foot… I have seen many things at work, day by day I see cases like that… I may not work directly with handicapped people, but I provide assistance to the counselors’ information systems, and somehow I have the information and knowledge about such things… Yet, watching this happen to one of my best friends have been really tough. Especially since I know that no one listened to me when I warned them… As usual… So, another week at the hospital… Better to be safe than sorry. I hope that lessons have been learned and that Groundel will take the reins of his life, for once… He can do many things if only he believed in himself…
I took Vangie to the airport on Saturday early in the morning, before dawn. Saturday was a bit of a useless day, and I guess that personal stress is manifesting in complete lack of patience… Whatever… Sunday was filled with work: kitties litterboxes changed and laundry, mass and then the course meeting, and then taking some food to Groundel… Days need more hours… I need more rest… But seems sleep is a luxury that only the rich and famous can take…
Me… feeling beyond tired, beyond many things… A bit disappointed at some people, a bit hopeful about some situations, and completely grateful about my better half… He has been my strength in all these trying days… and my deepest inspiration to go on.
Back to work… Can’t wait for next week… I really don’t feel like being here in my office at all…

Accident and flashes
...
What an ugly, disturbing way to begin the day… Had to take a long route to arrive at work, since there was an ugly accident in the main road. A woman and a child were crossing the street and a car hit the woman sending her 50 feet away. Another car got the child and push him more than a 100 feet away… The first car stopped but the second ran away.
Groundel called me to warn me about the traffic, but I was already there… I didn’t took the main bottleneck, I figured I rather go the long way through Joyuda since it would be the same time and at least I wouldn’t get more stress… At least the boss said anyone coming from that way could sign as arriving on time. A humanized boss? Wow.
Yesterday went to give service at Aguadilla. The day went fast, and I gathered info for my own paperwork. Came back ASAP so I got some burritos and arrived home on time for LadyDeath and UncleSpider to take an old fridge that I kept for emergencies… After they went away, the iron fence would not close and ended up beating it into place… So my trapecio is definitively there… Ugh! Went to gather goodies for Groundel, and hibernated a bit at the hospital watching Everybody Loves Raymond and Friends… The mage arrived, went home and stayed until 1am speaking nonsense ranging from El Chavo to Zandra Zaiter teaches Ortografía…Long story… Happiness overdose, o algo…
So… Today the mage should go meet Heroina… True story. The accident news ruined my mood but life goes on… Sort of. Should try sleeping some after work since me and the mage will take Vangie to the airport at 2am. Midnight adventures… LOL Oh, well… He is the official driver because he’s such a buho. Tomorrow morning I should try bringing my car to the electro-mechanic to fix the starter… but don’t know if I will actually wake up… I feel drained to the core… And the cats desperately need a kitty litter change… Ahhhhhhh!
Groundel doctors say that he should be out by Monday, but that the tissue operation will be in around a month by an ambulatory procedure. I don’t get it… It is a big open wound and it can get infected easily if not closed… Sending him home like that is not a very smart move… Vangie will question that in the hospital today. Hopefully good news come out of it.
Coriolis and Raven have been missing in action. Cat ate your tongue?
Me… As I said… Tired, completely drained. I need a long sleep of at least 12 hours… These last two weeks have taken the best of me. Until now I have not been sick, but if I don’t rest ASAP, I will get to the red zone. Besides the physical demand… Happy, positive, hopeful, a bit annoyed, a bit moody. Neverland sucks… but hey, it’s home.

Seven days...
and seven nights
Ok… Finally I find the time to sit down and think about all the things that were done these last couple of days. I took a one-week vacation because I needed rest… And somehow that seems the last thing in my to-do list… The “I’ll sleep when I die” motto grows stronger with each passing day. So… Here are the main events that shaped each day… Seven days… All of them filled with drama, suspense, thrills, tears, hope, horror, sleepiness, comedy, love, and plenty of tests on willpower.
Wednesday: The first day of November, the Day of All Saints… And I was almost shedding as my nerves were a wreck at the hospital. Sti’s amputation was performed early in the afternoon. Vangie, his aunt, had decided to fly here at nighttime… so she should be in the hospital in the wee hours of the morning…
Thursday: At the airport at 3am. We picked up Vangie, who had a sound travel, and delivered her at the hospital. During the morning we took Zordak’s truck to the mechanic. Left him at work on the way back. Went to the hospital for a while, then went home to write a bit... The mage summoned me earlier, as he was out from work a bit earlier, so I picked him up. Back to the hospital until around 2am.
Friday: During the morning, and although a bit zombifyed, went with the mage to meet Heroína and give a bit of moral support at his first prep course. The lady seems very nice and makes things interesting, I found she went on a quick pace. I had no idea that he didn’t really knew the prayers, and we have to work on that. For next meeting he should go with the little booklet I have from my 1st communion. Had some lunch with the mage, and he delivered me at home, so I would rest while he went to work. In reality, that was the least thing I did… between cleaning up my room and doing the laundry nighttime fall upon me, and the mage arrived a bit earlier. So, we went to see The Prestige. The movie was so-so… Very slow… Too slow… I almost fall asleep. We went to the hospital, and I was too sleepy to stay awake so stayed until 1:30am.
Saturday: Called up Groundel at the hospital. Now he has a phone so he ain’t so lonely in that cold room, the phone number is 787-834-0101 x 2316. Met with the mage at home, where he arrived with a pick-up truck. We moved my big furniture from auntie’s house to the second floor in my house. We went to my grandmother’s and picked up the living room and dining room from her second floor… That was left on my house’s first floor. The whole ordeal took around 6 hours. We were all beat at night.
Sunday: Remember, remember the 5th of November… Ermm… Whatever… Woke up early since the Couple’s Mass was at 11am. So, picked up the mage and to the church… The mass lasted for more than 2 hours thanks to the special effects and the special features of the courses… Afterwards, we went to get some kitty food and do some window shopping (yes, controlled environment syndrome as the heat in the sunny day was a bit overpowering). Between mindflyers and tentamorts, an essay about tentacles and all its uses unfolded. Funny… Next! Went for a while to the hospital to check up on the ogre.
Monday: Woke up early to take auntie to the bank. By midday the mage had his Munchkin with him, and I arrived in time to deliver her. He was upset he didn’t really spent time with her, so after some advice on his tone and words, he went to ask for taking the girl on his birthday. No problem, amen! So, next stop Yauco. We went to get his truck at the mechanic, and then to eat at my favorite BBQ chicken place… Went to my house to deliver three flamboyanes that were not so happy after a change of environment at auntie’s… and finally went to the mage’s den to leave his car (no sense in traveling around separated…) At night, passed by the church to meet the priest. Mass felt very right, and the kitty kept jumping at the altar and the benches… A kitty friendly church… What else can I ask for? The priest met us and did his routine interview. He seemed satisfied with our answers… Is this all a test? Hmm? Finally, a date was set. He also asked about the couple’s courses and was pleased we are on the way of finishing them. We need a permission/dispense from the Asunción church, the couple’s course signed papers, and my communion/confirmation papers as well as a copy of our birth certificates. And as the priet explained, 10 days before the wedding we need to go to the Unidad to get the state’s wedding papers and do the blood test required for it. So we should be gathering the paperwork in the next 3 weeks… And so, we passed by the hospital for the daily report on the orc’s condition.
Tuesday: Zordak’s b-day. I woke up fairly early, around 9am. Tried updating and editing some pics and got some inspiration to write some as well… The mage let me know he would be hanging out with Munchkin to the playplace. I was not feeling in the mood for too much noise, so stayed at home finishing up some pics. Had problems loading Groundel’s pics, so called him up to get some info… During the afternoon, finally reached the mage’s home. We celebrated quietly within the boundaries of the den. Got him a piece of chocolate cake, placed a lit candle, and singed along a la Monroe… which he seemed to like very much. I wonder which wish he wished for… So, watching Dora and the Terminator vs Robocop flicks on the net… And some Xena flicks… sue me… We delivered Munchkin, who was out by nightfall. So, we got some food and crashed at the den… We were not in the mood to see more people. All these past days have been too eventful and we’ve had almost no time to actually breathe… Everything is going fast, and Groundel’s accident filled our schedule, and tore apart my nerves… Interesting discussion about the different flavors for wedding cakes, reality show hosted by Coriolis… Then a heated discussion about bachelor’s/bachelorette’s outing… again, hosted by Coriolis. Anyway, we watched Monster House at night, and then I went home. Half an hour later the mage summoned me, as I had left my breakfast for the week in his den… So, he delivered it all (thank the gods for teleports!). And so, time to sleep…
Wednesday: And so, here I am at my office. I still have all the spiderwebs around… May get them off during the afternoon. I need to go to Aguadilla, perhaps tomorrow… Today I’m feeling lazy and zoned out. Gotta try meeting Vangie after I get off work. And of course, visit the stranded orc. Until then, gotta figure out what will I have for lunch… I am damn hungry!
Plans for the rest of the year? Well, I need to take my car to the mechanic on Saturday morning, the starter is misbehaving… Donations are welcome! LOL On Monday the doors guy should pass by to do some work on the doors and to fix the stairs fountain… Will try using the Thanksgiving week to paint the interior, get the furniture that is scattered at aunties and at granny’s, and put things together So little by little things are getting done and taking shape… With the Xmas bonus I should finally be able to get a cistern for the house. We’ll start the outdoors cleaning/painting on Xmas vacation. We both like lilac and white, so the house should be painted in those colors… I want to get roses and trinitarias for the front yard… And caimitos and starfruits for the back yard. I know that in the end I may smoke my first cigar and simply say “I love it when a plan comes together”. Everything is falling into place, by its own weight. Nothing hastened, pushed or pulled.
Sweeeeeeeeeeeet!!!

So, picked up the mage and to the church… The mass lasted for more than 2 hours thanks to the special effects and the special features of the courses… Afterwards, we went to get some kitty food and do some window shopping (yes, controlled environment syndrome as the heat in the sunny day was a bit overpowering). Between mindflyers and tentamorts, an essay about tentacles and all its uses unfolded. Funny… Next! Went for a while to the hospital to check up on the ogre.
Monday: Woke up early to take auntie to the bank. By midday the mage had his Munchkin with him, and I arrived in time to deliver her. He was upset he didn’t really spent time with her, so after some advice on his tone and words, he went to ask for taking the girl on his birthday. No problem, amen! So, next stop Yauco. We went to get his truck at the mechanic, and then to eat at my favorite BBQ chicken place… Went to my house to deliver three flamboyanes that were not so happy after a change of environment at auntie’s… and finally went to the mage’s den to leave his car (no sense in traveling around separated…) At night, passed by the church to meet the priest. Mass felt very right, and the kitty kept jumping at the altar and the benches… A kitty friendly church… What else can I ask for? The priest met us and did his routine interview. He seemed satisfied with our answers… Is this all a test? Hmm? Finally, a date was set. He also asked about the couple’s courses and was pleased we are on the way of finishing them. We need a permission/dispense from the Asunción church, the couple’s course signed papers, and my communion/confirmation papers as well as a copy of our birth certificates. And as the priet explained, 10 days before the wedding we need to go to the Unidad to get the state’s wedding papers and do the blood test required for it. So we should be gathering the paperwork in the next 3 weeks… And so, we passed by the hospital for the daily report on the orc’s condition.
Tuesday: Zordak’s b-day. I woke up fairly early, around 9am. Tried updating and editing some pics and got some inspiration to write some as well… The mage let me know he would be hanging out with Munchkin to the playplace. I was not feeling in the mood for too much noise, so stayed at home finishing up some pics. Had problems loading Groundel’s pics, so called him up to get some info… During the afternoon, finally reached the mage’s home. We celebrated quietly within the boundaries of the den. Got him a piece of chocolate cake, placed a lit candle, and singed along a la Monroe… which he seemed to like very much. I wonder which wish he wished for… So, watching Dora and the Terminator vs Robocop flicks on the net… And some Xena flicks… sue me… We delivered Munchkin, who was out by nightfall. So, we got some food and crashed at the den… We were not in the mood to see more people. All these past days have been too eventful and we’ve had almost no time to actually breathe… Everything is going fast, and Groundel’s accident filled our schedule, and tore apart my nerves… Interesting discussion about the different flavors for wedding cakes, reality show hosted by Coriolis… Then a heated discussion about bachelor’s/bachelorette’s outing… again, hosted by Coriolis. Anyway, we watched Monster House at night, and then I went home. Half an hour later the mage summoned me, as I had left my breakfast for the week in his den… So, he delivered it all (thank the gods for teleports!). And so, time to sleep…
Wednesday: And so, here I am at my office. I still have all the spiderwebs around… May get them off during the afternoon. I need to go to Aguadilla, perhaps tomorrow… Today I’m feeling lazy and zoned out. Gotta try meeting Vangie after I get off work. And of course, visit the stranded orc. Until then, gotta figure out what will I have for lunch… I am damn hungry!
Plans for the rest of the year? Well, I need to take my car to the mechanic on Saturday morning, the starter is misbehaving… Donations are welcome! LOL On Monday the doors guy should pass by to do some work on the doors and to fix the stairs fountain… Will try using the Thanksgiving week to paint the interior, get the furniture that is scattered at aunties and at granny’s, and put things together So little by little things are getting done and taking shape… With the Xmas bonus I should finally be able to get a cistern for the house. We’ll start the outdoors cleaning/painting on Xmas vacation. We both like lilac and white, so the house should be painted in those colors… I want to get roses and trinitarias for the front yard… And caimitos and starfruits for the back yard. I know that in the end I may smoke my first cigar and simply say “I love it when a plan comes together”. Everything is falling into place, by its own weight. Nothing hastened, pushed or pulled.
Sweeeeeeeeeeeet!!!

Que sonido tan triste cuando se acaba...
Last day of my small vacation break…
Eventful days, no doubt about that. At the hospital, at the den, going here and there thanks to our cars misbehaving… Short on money, but long hopes and dreams… What has been up?
Groundel: Doing better by the minute. Although stranded to bed for a while, his skin looks healthy and his eyes reflect a peace I have not seen in a very VERY long time. His immediate family giving him lots of support. I hope the next three months go away fast, so he begins the rehab process which will show what he’s really made of.
Coriolis: Enjoying that he’ll be next year’s official Godfather… Wow! Two weddings and a Christening perhaps? LOL You are a softie under a rugged skin… Awwwww…
Raven: Planning a permanent family getaway so things with her Sharkboy gets better… The best environment and treatment for him is in Uncle Sam’s realms, so go for it without second thoughts. This island has still much to grow and change… and that seems a far and away dream…
Zordak: Today is the mage’s Birthday! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Hoping all his dreams are coming true… And wishing the best for him, for he deserves it.
Me: Tired. Furniture moves on last Saturday left my back in bad shape… On the run like a chiken… trying my best to be there for those who need me. I’m finding strength in unlikely places… At peace within, at peace with all that has been going on. Very happy with personal outcomes, very certain and grounded maybe for the first time in my life.
OFFICIAL NEWS:
Zordak and the Witch should get hitched on Sunday, April 8th 2007 at 4pm.
For those who follow the holidays, that is Easter Day… So, blue and pink bunnies should be line dancing on the prairie and pixies should be throwing showers of flowers at our path… For those who know me, that is also my b-day (wheeee, o algo). And for those close to the mage, that is also his baptism date. Somehow the date seems right, because of all the things that gives meaning to it… and we both look for meaning in everything we do.
So… Over and out.

No saint, no devil
Vangie's presence has been very important for Groundel's ordeal. Not only because of the emotional support, but because she KNOWS how things should go in a hospital. She has maybe too much experience dealing with such matters, and so she knows what to say, what to ask, how to react and the like. That is something I don't know how to do, but that is learned along the way.
LadyDeath has been at his side, I know, but it is not a matter of who is there but what may be or was in his mind. I am not blood family for Groundel, but I know him as no one else but perhaps Vangie may know... There is too much shit that hit the fan in the past, and it all gives way to feelings of hurt, guilt, whatever... Many what if's on his side and on his family's side.
I am a stranger in a strange land. I just happenned to be a stranger that knew him for 15 years and that shared 8 years or his life as his girlfriend/betrothed/wife, you name it. Although his family has been around, in his mind they have been asteroids that passed by and that pushed him away. Now things may be different, but remember that years of hurt are not erased instantly... especially in his mind. Many lessons must be learned, many things must be forgiven, and many things must be understood. Only love can allow union on trying times. May real love push all the asteroids towards Groundel's planet, so you all crash into him and stay... changing his life completely for the better... as I couldn't succeed.
No, LadyDeath, you are not taken for granted... You have much to learn about many things, and it is a process... You need to grow up now more than ever. You are his sister, and it is great that finally you see that he needs you, and why. You've had glimpses of who Groundel is. He needs plenty of love, always has. I can only think based on the last 8 years of his life with me and around me. I was his everything, his world. I witnessed his pain from his grandmother's death, and throughout the years saw how only Vangie had been very open to him as family. Everyone else had been ideas he tried to be fond of, but that were quite ethereal. He lacked family love, and such he manifested to me constantly... And so I know that my presence helps him in a different way. I give him strength, safety and guidance. I don't think I am an absolute in his life, but I am a big influence, and when he fears I am the one he turns to. Love me, hate me... I can't be devoted to him because of circumstance. And it tears me apart, because I love him deeply. But that was a choice he made for me a long time ago. I know where my boundaries must be. So be it. It is time for you and your mother to get to know him, little by little, as you never have.
I am quite tired. All these days I’ve had an infection of my own, bearing with it had been testing my patience and mood and emotions. Somehow, the mage has been able to cope... He always surprises me with much needed kindness. I am completely drained…
Anyway… Life goes on. And Neverland will never be the same again.

Sleep? Rest? Vacation? Hah!
... Some eclectic days… Playing nurse has not been easy, the test on the will and nerves has not been funny at all. The worst is the waiting, the uselessness that you feel…
On Tuesday I was at my 2nd day in training, at the SJ site, when I got a call from LadyDeath by 10am. Groundel had been taken to the hospital in ambulance on the whee hours of the morning, and they were talking about amputation as the severity of his illness was quite evident. What started as a knot in my throat ended up as a mindless wreck of tears. I became quite desperate knowing I was so far and could do nothing to be at Groundel’s side… Then a beacon of light enlightened me and I called Raven… and by chance, she happened to be in SJ as well. Coriolis was going to meet me at lunchtime, and so he took me to the meeting point. Coming down back to my hometown was quite a long, long journey… I only knew that knowing Groundel as I do, he must have been so terrified… I know he’s a big mouth but a coward at heart… And it killed me to think he might be all alone through this thing. I was too desperate to arrive, and at the same time to scared of arriving due to what I could find… The what if’s are the killers.
When I arrived I was surprised to find that besides LadyDeath there were also Papo and Michael. Surprised and relieved. He was on the operations room, and came out soon enough… The doctor drained the foot’s infection (most of it) and it would be a matter of taking care of the foot’s reaction to it all… When he was taken fron the recuperation area to his room, the first face he saw was Michaels face… LOL It was hilarious how Michael started an hour of stand up comedy that lifted all of our spirits. Very well, yes, laughter is the best medicine. When Groundel was set in his assigned room, I began a list of things to get… And Zordak arrived… Just in time, as usual. So, we left LadyDeath watching over Groundel, and went on to look for some necessary evils that Groundel would need… Came back after shopping, and so we were around until 10:30pm. Groundel liked the dinosaur I got him to keep him company the rest of the night… And so we dropped off LadyDeath at her home… She looked quite beat and sad.
Wednesday morning started with me getting up at 9am… so all the plans that I had went kinda down the drain… (Somehow I expected to get up early as in 7am… Oh, well… Wishful thinking). Went to get the mage, and LadyDeath called me at 10am to tell me that the doctor had checked and scheduled an operation to amputate Groundel’s toes. Just the toes? Hmmm… The thought crossed my mind before sleeping last night… What he had that was really bad and that looked rotten were the toes… I had thought that THAT is what needed to get off his body… So, once again, my thoughts come true as if they had been a premonition. Always the witch… So, went to the hospital with Zordak, and later on he left for work.
I am glad the worst part is over. By 2:00pm the doctor said the operation was a success. The toes on Groundel’s right foot had to be cut off due to the extensive infection that they had, so a spread of the infection was prevented. Now he has to stay taking antibiotics, and if things run smoothly then this ordeal will be over. The operation was quite fast, an hour or so. We didn’t saw it coming when the doctor came out and simply said it was over and it was a success. LadyDeath had been there from early in the morning, so I stayed the afternoon shift, will do so until around 11pm.
LadyDeath stay from 10:00pm to 2:30am, she went with us to pick up Vangie at 3:00 am at Aguadilla’s airport, so by 3:30am Vangie was able to see Groundel and feel relieved. I am very happy that she came, because her presence is very important for Groundel… she’s like a mother for him, she raised him. The hysterical feeling I had yesterday was the same hysterical feeling she had last night and today… I relate much to her… We both have common sense.
So… I went to bed around 4am… Slept until 10something, when I got a call from LadyDeath... I fought sleep for a small while, called Lulú to check with her if her hubby was openned... Ermm... His place, not him... Went to get the mage, so he would follow so we would take his truck to the mechanic at Yauco. From there, delivered him at San Germán, went to the doctor at Hormigueros and got to Mayaguez in time t check the Post Office and the pharmacy. By 5:00pm went to the hospital to check on Groundel. LadyDeath arrived just after the Volcar combo arrived as well. So, laughs for the little people for a while. Vangie called me saying she would not go to the night shift so she would sleep, so I will do the night shift... No problem. Gimme a computer and I'm happy.
Many plans to complete before doomsday… On Friday morning I need to go to the lab to run some tests, then go with the mage to an appointment with Heroína, and finally see if I go to AEELA to get a loan ASAP. I expect the mage to take my car, so I stay stranded at home, sleeping. Night shift at the hospital so Groundel is not alone... Sleep from 5am to 11am...
Saturday, by midday, we should move the furniture from my grandmother’s house to my house, and from my aunt’s if possible. Will prepare bombs in our house, and hopefully we will crash at the mage's den for a while.
Sunday at 11am is the Couple’s Mass at the El Salvador church. Afternoon for Mandy and night reunion with the “matrimonio acogedor”…
No plans for Monday or Tuesday yet… but it will be Zordak’s birthday on the 7th, and so we may manage a disappearance act of two days… Fingers crossed.
Feeling: Tired, hopeful, sad, driven… loved… and blessed.

Groundel at Hospital
News Flash
For anyone interested, Groundel had an operation and will be staying at the Perea Hospital, room 216. We are trying to save his leg, donations welcomed ;) They did a procedure yesterday to take away all the fluids, peeling away all dead rotting icky stinky flesh from his right foot. We are also trying to raise his spirits (which were pretty dead, but hey... believe...) and make him understand he has to get better for his own sake.
So, Halloween night was awful... The real spooks are NOT fun, you know?
