Holy Week...

plus Weekend Woes...

Well, you may say weekend started early for me, since I was feeling too crappy on Friday to actually go to work. Had a fever and body aches, and figured I had already done much during the week… Not that anyone appreciated anything… It’s as if I ate plastic steaks, I’m transparent and invisible… Being there or not, its not like they notice anything at all… Whatever…

All in all, finished Anne Rice’s Christ the Lord (finally, as I had began reading it like 4 times!). Liked very much how she portrays Jesus as a child, how the whole novel is in first person. You really get a feel of the troubles of that era, as usual, an exact picture of the time period. The lady excels at that, always.

Put up the kitty fence on the stairs corridor. And while I was giving it some finishing touches, a wasp made an appearance (seems that the wind caught it and threw it inside the house by the doors floor gap). Upon spotting its long needle I kinda decided to leave the work for the next day and hurried upstairs to feed the kitties and then sleep some. No need to tempt destiny, I don’t know if I am allergic to stings and I don’t wanna find out the hard way.

Saturday went fast enough. The mage fussed up with the kitty fence window, while I cleaned up the windows screens. Helped him up with nailing the fence to the wood, and painted the corridor’s fence while he began filling up the floor’s holes/imperfections with cement. Before we knew it night had fallen upon us, so all that was left to do was take a nice bath and watch movies until bedtime. Revisited The Eye and the Eye II. I am a sucker for those Asian horror movies…

Sunday was awful. I was feeling beat and tired and crappy all over. I was moody the whole day and night, and still have some left for the week… Perhaps it’s the time of the year and all the memories it brings… Perhaps its too many things meshed up, overloading my system. Whatever. Did the laundry in the afternoon, came back home with the kitty condo and put it up. The mage arrived some time afterwards, and we both played with the kitties and the feathered wands for a while. Kyonne was loony. As the mage began doing the dishes I went to bed. Later on, as I woke up around 2am, I heard a big noise from the kitty’s room… They had tripped the condo, and seemed that Kyonne got a lash out of it. Nothing serious as he was walking ok… He was just completely spooked and wary. I guess he saw his whole life passing by… LOL

Monday morning… Slow, VERY slow. I still feel crappy, and I wished they had given the whole Holy Week as work free… but not this year. Government will give Thursday and Friday anyway… So, it should be a nice, short 3-day week… Got some connectors so I solved one problem, and that has been the excitement of the day. The big boss asked if I had experience giving training as they plan to do a curriculum or something for computer users… Well, it’s in my resume… It all would be simpler if they actually bothered to read about the people who work for them, finding out their skills and where can be most useful. So… Hopefully that project will develop so at least days stop being completely boring.

So… This is Holy Week. Most people just see days for rest and fun and play. Others will work their ass off either at their jobs or at home... But in the middle of it all, please do stop and take some minutes to actually think about the meaning of this week. There was one person who gave up his own blood to clean our sins, to restore us spiritually, and who gave women worth and value that until then had been denied to them (yes, Jesus was a true feminist). The first and ultimate real Goth within our world… Even if you don’t believe in the whole marketed idea, just recall that there was a prophet called Jesus, who did all these things and gave word of an universal truth: Love is the way. And it is a hard way… But imagine how our world would be if that universal truth were applied from one corner to the other, to humans as well as beasts and Nature. Our world is dying, giving out a last cry for help. Much cannot be undo… But much can be done, just by giving with love.

Hoping and wishing and praying and fishing… The truth is out there… within yourself.
