(pfffttt!)
Yup. Right. It's all about people, their stupid words, their stupid thoughts, their stupid ways of affecting your simple chaotic life... It is better to have a barrier and witness everything from the looking glass... Fed up with the displays of hipocrites and clowns... Kill them all!
At work, being trying to work... Receiving all this crappy input about babies... Tolerating so no blood is on my hands... Being completely unhappy from 8:00am to 4:30pm... Wanting to be left alone, to be able to eat just what I want when I want, to be able to roam castles in England or walk the long walk of the Great China Wall... But no... Instead I am trapped in this maze that leads nowhere, surrounded by cheese-brains that don't see beyond their nose and don't hear beyond their ears...
At home... Same old, same old. It's a lonely place up there in the top of the mountain... And its depressing seeing things in stasis, as time stopped it all...
Feeling anxious, lonely, and sad. Not much to do but visit Groundel when I get out of work, and then go home to achieve total isolation. At least the few hours that I can spend with the mage make me smile after midnight and at breakfast...
Trying to do lemon pie with all these lemons... Want some?

Long weekend
and time flying...
Got up at mid-morning on Saturday. We set to travel to Arecibo as we had planned. Got a call from the Texas crew giving thanks for the b-day card I sent… wow, it arrived in 2 days without using priority… I was impressed! LOL They seemed happy and alive.
In the way, the mage asked for water and reaching Quebradillas there was a group from a church giving water for free… People disbelieved the signs of free water, but well… After seeing that the freshmakers did open the door and did got water bottles for free everyone started opening their windows up. That was fun. The bottles stated “God quenches your soul’s thirst” and had the church’s service times. I think that was a very original and useful campaign… It would be nice if people were that creative when doing anything… Positive creativity. So, we reached Arecibo at midday, the sun was too overpowering and we ended up at Plaza del Norte. My main targets were not accomplished… but at least found some pieces that should help with the clothing woes as well as we got the miraculous electronic bug-spider buster. When coming back heavy rain greeted us around Quedradillas, but by reaching Añasco it was gone… so we could finally get a decent meal at my favorite BBQ place. We finally reached home after 9pm, being quite beat. We put the pest controller and half an hour later three spiders showed up dazed and confused… Haven’t seen anyone else since then… Not that I’m complaining.
Sunday morning I woke up before noon. After breakfast, went on to try putting up some pictures in the barren walls downstairs… The new walls are bland, but the original walls need drilled holes to actually hold anything… so, took a bath and parted with the mage. He went to his normal Sunday’s fatherly duties, and I went to the hospital to give Groundel a quick visit and leave him with some horror movies. The hospital room is now in the 3rd floor, room 319. If you want to call, 834-0101x3219. Afterwards, went to auntie’s place, did some laundry and took all my plush dolls to the small bedroom placing them on the shelves. Wanted to move other toy boxes but they were heavy and looked filled with spiders so I left that for later. Went home, let the kitties free for a while and cooked something for the whole week. The mage arrived before 8:00pm, brought some movies and so we watched one, a Korean horror movie, Cinderella… basically a stepmother thinguie mixed up with plastic surgery. Entertaining enough.
Monday was Memorial Day… so no work. The mage went to get a friend of his that do construction work and so, so the guy could see the immediate necessities and tell us how much would it cost. I think it was fair enough… But we need to get all materials, and since we have nothing right now (still the car to pay…) that will have to wait another month. Yupi… Went to auntie’s to sort the spider boxes and take the novels and albums with me, and then to visit Groundel in the hospital… Left him with Cinderella and Dora the Explorer: The musical. LMAO! By 3pm, went to Lulú’s place in Sabana Grande to check up her computer… That endeavor took until 9pm. We went home, the mage took everything from the car, and we finally went to bed at midnight…
Today, wanted to stay in bed but I know I better get up and go to work… Better leave days for when I need them. Next week the birthing courses begin, and they are 6 classes… two weekly, and all during weekday mornings… So that means 3 days off, sort of… So I cannot push it. We are supposed to have the last week of July free… that is a small relief… No word of Coriolis or Raven. Everything has been very quiet…
Feeling a bit crappy, a bit sad, a lot stressed…but then, what is new?

Groundel @ hospital (how strange) and then some
(not treats but what the heck...)
Ah, the mission… Groundel is in the hospital… Again. He was complaining about leg pain on Wednesday, and then last night. He told me to forget about it, and then called me at 10pm saying he had a fever. Oh, by now I really know what that means… Since I was quite beat and drained and kinda pondered if I could drive or not I got really anxious and nervous and so started vomiting… The mage arrived early, found me quite distressed and was to make his good deed of the week… But I called up and one of Groundel’s friends was around. I gave him the very sound and clear instructions to take Groundel to the hospital, not the clinic, so they could take care of him in case of complications… and to call me from ER when they had news. Two hours later, ChickenBig called teling me that they had taken Groundel’s pressure and that he was without fever by then, and that they were waiting for the doctor to give the go so they could take him home. I laughed at that, and the boy became silent. I asked if they had put the suerito on Groundel’s arm, and he said no. So I gave him the free prediction: Groundel shall stay all night long and you guys can go home… they won’t let him go because he has an infection and will give intra-vein medicines. And so, that’s what happened. I got no further calls, but had a light and not so restful sleep.
The mage had to go to get some government papers, so he got up quite early. I took the same train so I could go to the hospital before going to work. Yup, Groundel was at ER, gave him a peanut butter sandwich and a Snapple courtesy of the mage, and then went to work… He expected to be out by midday. I kinda laughed at that, for I knew that a nice resort would be around the corner… I got a call from Groundel before lunchtime. He needed someone to go there and fill up the admissions papers. His doctor had passed by and has seen everything was ok, but wanted to keep medicating the leg to be sure that the infection would be completely gone. So now he has to stay for a few days at the Perea Resort… three meals a day, A/C, cable and phone included in the package. I’ll make certain he gets a bottle of sunless tanning lotion… so he can later on brag about having gone on vacation or something… LOL Oh, well… At least he will be able to sleep now… He was not sleeping more than 4 hours a day because eof the heat and the overall ambience at his so-called home. Perhaps the small vacation is just what he needed to lighten up a bit… The only thing now is that I cannot be hibernating at the hospital to keep him company because of my pregnancy… I have to stay away from sick people and germs. So that will be something… Hopefully his clan of friends will visit enough to make him feel not so left out.
This is a long weekend, and all in all we’ll try to take some time to smell the roses… The Mage and I have been fuzzing too much with the house and everything else that comes with it, and so we may at least take one day off.
Oh, and there may be some hope for the spider invasion at home… Although I am very skeptic about it, a coworker that lives near my house expressed how he keeps the critters at bay, with an electronic pest repellant. He warned me that the first two weeks I will see them everywhere, as they will be forced outside their shelter, but that after that they will be gone. So… If that really works, it is a priceless advise. My next mission…LOL About the comejen invation, he tells me that from april to early june it is normal for them to buzz around annoying everyone. That later on they vanish… And the aftermath is that you get a house with everything wooden filled with it… so I better beware and fumigate everything to make sure that is taken care of…
Work has been very slow. I just need the cold comfort of the office… Outside, the environment is raging and it is simply too much! The world keeps on spinning, and a promise of a new day lives on… The Almighty insists on having fun, and who are we to deny him of it?

A BIG MAC, Buggy Attack and PIRATES!
Yesterday, doctor’s appointment. Early in the morning went with the mage to get him some clothing, then to the doctor’s office. Finally, the little one showed herself. It’s a GIRL! As someone stated, an Amazon on the prowl… Prepare for Deirdre Valeria. Cool, huh?
At night, got attacked by termites… then a spider wouldn’t let me in the bathroom… I had to resign myself to being locked up safely in my bedroom until the mage arrived. Today, found a snail perched up in the bathroom wall… How the heck it got there? Damn! That house has too many creaks and crevices… and to find them all and seal them all I’ll need the help of the Vodu Queen… So, my buggy woes go on…
Gotta finish some work at Aguadilla today, hopefully will be in my office after midday… Don’t feel like going around too much.
WATCH OUT FOR PIRATES!!!!

BRIEFING
Past weekend… work overload… too tired to tell the detailed tale.
The briefing:
FRIDAY: Got out of work at 5:30 pm on Friday due to a meeting, and had a b-day decór meeting at 6:30pm that last until 10:30pm. Straight to bed…
SATURDAY: Woke up at 9:00am to finish placing the antennas on the butterflies. By 11:00am made it with the mage to the b-day place, and so we finished up the balloons placing and other details. By 2:00pm we were out of there… So, I wanted to get some curtains and so we went to CaboRojo’s heart stores. Found a fountain, found a red and orange retro rod, found some rods… but no curtains. So we went to Western Plaza, still no luck. Being on the road again, we ended up in Aguadillla. Pitusa had a bird nest that I got for auntie’s parakeet (so the egg stress fades away). They also have a kitty condo that is completely awesome, bigger than the one I have… but can’t get it… so just admired it and walked away… At Aguadilla Mall found the perfect terracotta shade that I wanted for the curtains, and some pillows for the dining room. I liked many baby things in Capri over there… They have everything for a HelloKitty baby nursery. We arrived home almost at 9:00pm, and by then we started moving furniture to its rightful place (mostly the mage moved stuff, I just placed the cardboard pieces and help drag some…). Yes, I’m a slave driver. The living room/dining room seems to be coming alive, after more than 3 months of waiting… It was 1:00am, and we finally went to sleep…
SUNDAY: Midday… Met the mage and his Munchkin at the mall. Dissapointed at the stuff I wanted to get and that I couldn’t because it wasn’t there (must go back to Aguadilla)… Went to auntie’s, placed a nest for the parakeets and did the laundry. Went home around 5:00pm. Let the kitties roam for a while, then began the curtain rod placing… The mage arrived, and so we stayed up until midnight cleaning the furniture with almond Old English and placing some decorations around… The living room and the dining room are almost 80% done, and so far look gorgeous! It may turn into a nice haven after all…
MONDAY: Work… Draining me as usual… Taken to SanGermán during the morning, to move a PC… Had a small showdown with the locals who think they are boss… Enough to make me beyond tin roof! Then, taken to Aguadilla during the afternoon to move 2 computers… configure them and try making people happy. Arrived at 5:00pm, so I could get some bandages for Groundel, so I could finally reach home before 7:00pm. Took a bath and went to sleep around 8:00pm. Woke up at midnight, had a snack, small chit-chat and back to sleep… Drained, drained, drained…
TUESDAY: At work… have managed to stay within my office the whole morning, don’t know if I will be able to keep it up in the afternoon… Anyway… Very drained… Just want a bed, A/C and to keep on sleeping. Gotta pay some stuff, and see if I can sleep more tonight… Last week was too much work for not much pay. Just as it always happens… That’s the main reason I do nothing for profit, because in the end I don’t get paid what I should. People don’t value creative works… they just view it as cheap nonsense… that looks grand. Anyway… The overload of working much after hours really drained me. The extra work on weekends is mandatory to patch things up with the mage’s help… I cannot do things around the house alone… I need muscle power. So it has to be Sat & Sun… I hope he doesn’t mind too much. It should be over when all is done, finally. Maybe by end of June?
Tired, restless… Tomorrow I have a doctor’s appointment, hopefully the sex of the child can finally be addressed! If not, well… PIRATE anyway! And the UTIER will begin a strike tonight at midnight, so that means no light for 24 hours… So much for not affecting the public. And Rosello keeps up with his circus and neverending story… Ugh!
The show goes on…

Some Bull Birthdays!
LOL (no pun intended!)
Many good wishes and good karma sent to the birthday boys: DaddyFromTexas (whose b-day was yesterday) and MrPopuman (whose b-day is today). Taurus boys, very stubborn, very focused on making profit so they are grounded with no problem, very matter of fact... Blunt to some, brutally honest to most... Gotta love these bulls! Hope you both get many gifts, especially spiritual bliss and happiness. You deserve it! Damnit!
Been painting bugs, sleeping little... Today will decorate the main place at night. Tomorrow will put the last details... And hopefully I can get the payment I need to get the nursery combo that I want. It's been labor, for labor sake! La-la-la...
Hopefully will put together the left side of the 1st floor during this weekend. I'm pissed that the stairs/celining guy stood me up on Tuesday and Wednesday... Will call today with the last chance. If that won't do, then gotta find someone else... I need to put the AC... The heat is unbearable thanks to the so-called Polvos del Sahara... Nature my ass! I just think is a complot to destroy all intelligent life in PR simply by dehydration... Sheesh!
Mother Earth is getting bitchy and ruthless... Can't blame her. It's paytime! And she will have absolutely no regrets... Life will go on one way or the other. We are not indispensable.
Lookout for next week! The Pirates are near! Arck! Arck! FINALLY! Something Deep to look forward to... Ok, Depp, Depp... Lighten up, LOL

3,2,1... Engage!
And yes, another very busy weekend...
FRIDAY: They let mothers go at 3pm, so I went to rent two movies: The Painted Veil and The Persuit of Happiness. Arrived home early since the mage was waiting for me, ate some and so the movie night was arranged. And then to catch some Z’s…
SATURDAY: Slept until 10am. The mage had started painting the walls corners and had prepped some breakfast. I got ready, so by midday we went out of the house set on the mission of getting a fan for the family to see if we can actually survive the summer. Got a good deal for two shirts and got some dye for my hair. The mage passed by his friend’s house to see if he could gather some help but his friend was out of service. So, we headed home. Upon arrival, he set on the mission of placing the fan in the wall, then finishing up the painting edges downstairs. In the meanwhile I messed up with my hair bleaching the tips. Began repairing the ladybugs that got all stick together thanks to the damn heat. So, repaired the ladybugs red base until midnight. By then I had a nice back pain, and felt completely drained… so I surrender to the Sandman.
SUNDAY: MOTHER’s DAY. Woke up by midmorning and after a hearty breakfast engaged on the bug painting endeavour… Groundel called to congratulate me. He’s the only one that always call… everyone else is too busy. Life goes on. Finished the ladybugs and the bees and the fireflies’s bodies. Began the wings but became quite burned up after the third set, so left it all at 5pm. I realized I had no lunch … bad move… So, by then, went with the mage to visit auntie and enjoyed her infamous Virginia Ham. Washed some wrestling, and kinda did my hair. Stopped at the in-law’s house so the mage would pick up and deliver something, and then went home. Tried to re-arrange the closet to have the usable clothing in one side and the out-of-limits on the other side. By 10pm took a bath, had a snack and the mage put on a movie. So, we watched Million Dollar Baby until it finished almost at 1am… And then to sleep some…
So, at work again… the never-ending race that each time goes faster and faster… No word from anyone, and feeling quite tired. The child b-day thing is this next weekend, so got to finish the fireflies, make the butterflies and prepare at least some flowers to complement the cartoonish bugs. All this must be done between today and Wednesday… Ugh! Let’s see what can be accomplished… I do hope I get at least a hundred… that would complete the cash to get the cradle combo. Auntie told me mommy has a cradle that used to belong to psycho-uncle’s child… but I don’t know. I’ll have to see it. The car guy has not called, and the ceiling guy has not call either… Gotta see what can be done in the meanwhile…
Feeling very tired, on the edge of another exhaustion… Wanting to simply be in bed, but that is the perennial wish that must be denied… Ugh! Got to check the pre-natal free courses I was told about so we can sign up in time. Got to start packing up on diapers… that seems to be a big headache in itself. Got to keep a solid grasp on the diet this week, I was too loose with the Saturday lasagna and Sunday Ham, and the sugar went up… What the heck… It’s my first Mother’s Day, damnit. There must be some sort of celebration, or something… Keeping the sugar where it belongs is quite a pain in the whoohoo. I’m getting tired of all the healthy stuff that ain’t my favorites but that are mandatory evils… Once in a while, I want nothing but a Whopper… And that is exactly the one thing I can’t get at least until I give birth… And I say at least, because the diabetic diet is forever. Yay, now let’s do the Bartdance…
The mage has been bearing with my mood swings quite gracefully. He do everything he can, and then more. It is always comforting knowing that one way or the other he is there to watch over me… so my guardian angel can take some breaks to put off the fire in its wings! I’m glad that little by little things are falling into place in most matters… Finances will always be our pithole, so we just have to keep going using the security cords that trapeze actors use… because the show must go on.

FRIDAY: They let mothers go at 3pm, so I went to rent two movies: The Painted Veil and The Persuit of Happiness. Arrived home early since the mage was waiting for me, ate some and so the movie night was arranged. And then to catch some Z’s…
SATURDAY: Slept until 10am. The mage had started painting the walls corners and had prepped some breakfast. I got ready, so by midday we went out of the house set on the mission of getting a fan for the family to see if we can actually survive the summer. Got a good deal for two shirts and got some dye for my hair. The mage passed by his friend’s house to see if he could gather some help but his friend was out of service. So, we headed home. Upon arrival, he set on the mission of placing the fan in the wall, then finishing up the painting edges downstairs. In the meanwhile I messed up with my hair bleaching the tips. Began repairing the ladybugs that got all stick together thanks to the damn heat. So, repaired the ladybugs red base until midnight. By then I had a nice back pain, and felt completely drained… so I surrender to the Sandman.
SUNDAY: MOTHER’s DAY. Woke up by midmorning and after a hearty breakfast engaged on the bug painting endeavour… Groundel called to congratulate me. He’s the only one that always call… everyone else is too busy. Life goes on. Finished the ladybugs and the bees and the fireflies’s bodies. Began the wings but became quite burned up after the third set, so left it all at 5pm. I realized I had no lunch … bad move… So, by then, went with the mage to visit auntie and enjoyed her infamous Virginia Ham. Washed some wrestling, and kinda did my hair. Stopped at the in-law’s house so the mage would pick up and deliver something, and then went home. Tried to re-arrange the closet to have the usable clothing in one side and the out-of-limits on the other side. By 10pm took a bath, had a snack and the mage put on a movie. So, we watched Million Dollar Baby until it finished almost at 1am… And then to sleep some…
So, at work again… the never-ending race that each time goes faster and faster… No word from anyone, and feeling quite tired. The child b-day thing is this next weekend, so got to finish the fireflies, make the butterflies and prepare at least some flowers to complement the cartoonish bugs. All this must be done between today and Wednesday… Ugh! Let’s see what can be accomplished… I do hope I get at least a hundred… that would complete the cash to get the cradle combo. Auntie told me mommy has a cradle that used to belong to psycho-uncle’s child… but I don’t know. I’ll have to see it. The car guy has not called, and the ceiling guy has not call either… Gotta see what can be done in the meanwhile…
Feeling very tired, on the edge of another exhaustion… Wanting to simply be in bed, but that is the perennial wish that must be denied… Ugh! Got to check the pre-natal free courses I was told about so we can sign up in time. Got to start packing up on diapers… that seems to be a big headache in itself.

Shake, shake, shake...
and then burst!
I’ve been sick for the last two days, complete exhaustion in the main menu. The heat has been too strong and I guess that helps in draining me of the little strength I may have left… Have not been able to do all the things I had planned for these days.
Yesterday Groundel and LightShadow passed by during the late afternoon. We painted some of the bugs, sort of… Between the heat and feeling blah I was not too up to anything. At least the little gathering is always a nice thing, as I laugh for a while.
The mage arrived early thanks to some work trouble. He should be back on track on Monday, and will try taking advantage of the days off to finish painting the living room’s walls and ceiling. Hopefully by Sunday the living room will actually look like one, after all this time. Whatever. It all has been a snowball that keeps growing as it falls upon us, and it all has me completely zoned out, drained, and sad. Seems the gnomes took away the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow…
At work today. Let’s see if I can stand the insanity… My only consolation is that at least my office has North Pole access, it’s A/C is always high… Although lately I feel as if it were just a breeze. I have turned into a high temperature oven… Ugh!

Latest update...
What a weekend!
THURSDAY. Picked up Groundel and went to Western plaza to check out jeans… mine are too tight to be used any longer. Got frustrated at one store, then things looked up at the megastore, where at least I got a pair to wipe away part of the woes. LightShadow met us there, so we all browsed the whole store while gossiping, whining and having fun. Baby stuff is quite pricey and that is beyond frustrating as well. Baby got its first gifts from LightShadow as well, who had bought a monitor, a grooming kit and a health kit for the baby. It was really funny that a week ago when she mentioned the items I thought she was gonna get something for kitties… and I wondered why. LOL Cat people and their obsessive behaviors… Many thanks to LS, she really surprised me with that one. The baby-mode is still kicking in into me, so bear with me… I’m not maternal and I dislike prissy stuff… But the time has come to make arrangements and make way for whatever it is… Also, LightShadow is finally graduating from the computer science thinguie. Much success sent her way! It’s her second degree at RUM, so it’s her second labor. :P Hope she gets the job she deserves, and that she gets to keep on studying. That’s what us bookworms like to do anyway… and in the end is very worth it.
FRIDAY. Went to auntie’s as I got out, but there was no food at all, so I went home so at least I could have some ramen with veggies. Entertained myself checking up the mage’s computer and erasing unused programs while adding useful ones. Found some pics on CDs and added them to the folders as well. Finally in bed after midnight.
SATURDAY. Went with the mage to browse for cradles. Loved the cat statues that we bumped into… Sadly could not buy any of them. Anyway, the best bet is a trio that they sell as combo, featuring cradle, changer and dresser. They only have it in oak and mahogany colors, so I asked Coriolis to check the megastore over there in the Metro area to see if they have it in white. If not, I guess oak will do… I like mahogany but spiders could disguise themselves too easily in it. After the mall, we went to get some Chinese mofongo, and to get some minor household items at the hardware store. Went to watch Spiderman 3. The movie was ok… A bit linear, the actors are definitively aging and not looking as good as they used to… MJ didn’t get to look as lovely as she use to, and the blonde one was not pretty at all… I still don’t get the new Hollywood standards, honest! The Spidey/Venom conflict was ok, not bad but could have been a bit better. Sandman was completely idiotic, and his storyline changed from the evil entity in the comics to the moral thief in the movie… And Harry… well… they had to go full circle ith the avenging the father and being best friends thinguie. I just don’t get why kill off main villains just for the sake of it (like Dr.Octopus… but I guess that has to do with actors wanting to act just once… and the director keeping the characters with a single face). Sam Raimi rules. He managed to keep the comic book feel integrity. And to feed his family… as Ted and his daughter make hilarious cameos as well as his dear friend Bruce Campbell).
SUNDAY. Got the bugs at Groundel’s home and then went to auntie’s to do some laundry and make the murals for the birthday thinguie next week. That kinda took all my energy… Arrived almost at 10pm to the house… Not feeling too sleepy, and the Arachnophobia showdown didn’t help either… Three in one night, how nice… So, watched some Pullo before bedtime (Rome) and then to bed… almost at 2am… Waking up was hard to do…
Monday. Been Matching computers with their users plus checking the antivirus status on them… The morning went quite fast, I almost forgot to take my break, and hd the shivers by 11am… had some grits and a mandarin orange that stabilized things… Co-worker gave me some info and a book to read about breast feeding, plus shared some of the woes and joys of the whole process. She lacked help and information at first, and it all was uphill. Can you believe her husband actually bathed the baby for the first time when she was 10 months old? So many stories I’ve heard by now, and men behave as chauvinist ass-wipes in most of them. I guess it goes to show me I should be very grateful that although the mage ain’t a handyman, he does try his best to share everything from daily life showing interest in every detail and expressing plenty of care and concern. I am lucky I have someone at my side that will help me all along, because he wants to. Anyway… Gotta pick up Groundel after work so we paint the bugs, and hopefully do enough by 9:00pm. I need to sleep, badly!
So… Days running faster than a speeding bullet… Much to do, much more showing up… and almost no time to comply with everything. Gotta love being an adult… Right…

So far...
so... so...
Yesterday had Gyn appointment, so far 54% it’s a girl. Everything is allright, and sent me to do further tests as usual. Passed by WIC and by the place where I saw the wicker cradle I liked and may get it before the weekend. Straightened out some payments, and picked up the ogre so he could help me with the decór for my co-worker’s bday thinguie… Mummy called giving away the broken PC she had, so passed by to get the corpse (so I try patching it up later on when I’m really bored). Finally arrived at Anthill… to make some mandatory food, begin brainstorming and doing the small insects cutting and finally giving it all up for sleep. The mage arrived a bit later than usual, didn’t dispel the orc and went on to battle Morpheus and the friggin heat… I couldn’t sleep much, it was too hot and the fan was not helping. Summer is barely beginning and things are getting impossible… I know I need to get the friggin A/C as soon as possible… another project…
Called up the hojalatero and the ceiling/rail guy so they can show up next week. Will try to find out about a plumber for this weekend if possible. The mage painted the ceiling of half-downstairs in a celestial yellow (very pale yellow) and today he painted the floor in an Aztec terracotta. That and the bamboo ochre yellow walls should create a nice cozy atmosphere for the living room/dining room. I’ll try getting the paint I need for the other side, so the whole thing can be completed by the end of this month. I’m thinking that the three wooden doors that are laying around will be a nice backing for the metal desk, and will turn up to be a nice divider featuring a mural that shall greet the foyer. I’ll place the loveseat downstairs, opposite this work… I just need the broken pipe fixed, upstairs working, and the ceiling fixed so it stops cascading woes. After that, things can be arranged…
Anyway… Today, left the ogre at the police place so he could send for the good behavior certification. At midday left him at the mall so he can fill up a job application that LightShadow suggested. And the pasta shells with meat that I made are too yummy… I wish that I could sleep in the office. My temperature has certainly begun to rise… I am not freezing in my office, and I’m melting at home. Sheeeesh… Gotta find out if mummy took auntie to pay her bills and buy her groceries, if not then that’s another thing to do on Sunday.
So far, so good… this week is going fast and has been a bit mellow… damn hot, but easygoing in some ways… Let’s not jinx it…
