DON'T... Think too much of...

The weekend…

FRIDAY: Too long, too long… But all in all it was ok. Got an invitation from a co-worker to checkout a place for her baby’s 1st year b-day (she wants me to decorate) and she also took me for lunch at Chili’s. Not bad. The afternoon went fast as I was busy thinking on the feasible ways of decorating without breaking my back. After work, went to eat something with Groundel, got kitty food for the children, delivered him, and off I went home… Browsed some decorating books as I do just to torture myself with what I want to do and what I can’t do as I want…

SATURDAY: Painted the walls downstairs, in a lovely bamboo-ochre shade. But it needs a second coat… which will have to wait until next payday… Grrr… The mage primed the staircase walls and painted the borders facing the ceiling as I cannot get on stairs. We finished in time to go to Mass. The Father was really happy to see us, and his belly looked bigger… someone has been eating good… We went back home, as the whole painting ordeal had left us beat.

SUNDAY: Visited ZOO-RICO. The mage had promised Munchkin to take her to the local zoo, and so we ended up in the sort-of-lame-but-could-be-worst version of Animal Kingdom. All in all it was fun, although walking uphill was the pits for me. Loved the birdcage… hated that it was too small… the bald eagle and other big birds should have space to actually fly. And yes, what I have in my backyard are auras tiñosas… Birds of prey that have the body of an eagle and the head of a vulture… It saddened me to see them caged up… I see them flying free and majestic at home, and their eyes are so different… Met the Comeñame… LOL Well, I won’t ever forget that one. And now I can name it when I also see it in my backyard… Wow, seems I do have a jungle at home… Who knew? (I just hope that I have no more close encounters with snakes!)

MONDAY: Freeday from work, thanks to José de Diego… local poet and activist who was born in my hometown even if people in the media mentioned he was born in Agiadilla (WTF?, God… Know your history, public figures, or stay quiet damnit!). I was moody in the morning, but whatever. Went to the town in the afternoon, picked up Groundel and so got a pack of test strips for blood sugar (which left me broke) and syringes. Finally went to the Mall… Been two months since my last stepping on that area… Got the book I was looking for, and window shopped (suffered0 at the local gothic store… Plenty of baby clothing in there… I guess I’m starting to see the bright side of it… I can scare the locals with the newborn… Buahahahah! Finally, did some mandatory grocery shopping that completed the being broke circle… My mother called and SHE is getting married on Wednesday morning… Ok… And they may do a small gathering at midday… Ok… And she will donate a fridge and a laundry machine to my home on Saturday… Ok… Wheeeee, o algo. Stayed awake at night preparing a meal for 2 days, so the mage was happy when he arrived as I was too awake… Seems the heat and radiation of the microwave bans sleep or something… Ugh! Finally got to bed almost at 1:00 am…

Today… at the office… Rachel greeted me with news about her cardboard-shoe box recollection at home LOL Sylvia showed off trendy look with many red streaks over her short black hair (mamau!, but don’t worry, I already have plans for my raven tresses… Coming soon…). Hoping to nap, being unable to do so… Ugh! Oh, well… Hope the day goes fast, and that soon I’m in my comfy bed… La-la-la.
