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.
