Saturday: The windows-A/C guy came in at 8:15am…so up we went… The mage helped him and so around 1pm all was mostly done. The mage also took the ceiling fan down so we could go exchange it. We actually FINALLY got out of the house around 4pm, under the rain. We made it on time to the hardware store, exchanged the fan to see if it really had a motor failure and went to eat at the Chinese place… MOFONGO RULES! Coriolis called, burning off some steam about the last hours of his lovely family vacation… Oh well, either they screw up at the beginning, at the middle or in the end… Families do that as a rule of thumb. Anyway… All the while I had not been feeling well, woke up with nausea and dizziness that lasted the whole day… So, the mage picked up some movies and off we went… home. Sort of watched Music & Lyrics, and Norbit. I say sort off, because I was just laying there in the reclining chair, traveling through dimensions and coming back to follow the plot, sort of. Yup, lousy beginning, lousy ending… I just wanted to sleep. Amen.
Sunday: Went to check out some necessary goodies at Capri, and heavy rain kept me stranded until mid-afternoon. Tried reaching the mage but his cel was dead… So, improvised an umbrella and off I went to the car, and to auntie’s. And here is where the common sense woes begin… at least for me…
Auntie was upset because she had almost nothing in her fridge, even no food for the lovebirds. My mother now just passes by to deliver her monthly social security check, and leaves without taking her anywhere because she has “things to do”. Things to do… She retired years ago, and all she does is follow up constantly a stupid family tree project, hoard newspapers from anyone she knows and taking her new hubby to the mall, to eat and to the midnight hospital stroll. She doesn’t REALLY do much… She would go insane with actual work and chores. And it is quite a big bother that she cannot take two hours of her precious time to take auntie to get her groceries… I’ve told auntie MANY times (a constant fight) why she doesn’t simply call me? She says she doesn’t want to bother me, because she knows I have obligations and too much to do. Geesh! Like watching her starve to death will make me feel better! I get so mad at it… instead of waiting for my mother she should just call me. All I ask is that she does a day ahead, so I can actually accommodate things… If I make time to take Groundel to his appointments, damn, I think I can do the same for her. Isn’t that logical? Ugh! COMMON SENSE! No rocket science, mind you…
So… When rain was over, went back home. I looked in the back of the house to check if by any chance Raven had left the window screens she owed me… Yup, they were there… along with other things that were soaked to the core. Ermm… Along with the house key. I have no idea when she left all that stuff in there (Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday?), but I don’t know… I think common sense once again took a vacation o algo… If you have a key, and items that maybe shouldn’t get wet, maybe you should have opened the house (no rottweilers yet!) leave things inside, close the door and slip the key under the door… But ok, let’s say for the sake of argument that someone was REALLY in a hurry… Was it so hard to make a quick call and say “ I left some things plus the screens in the back. Check them.”. No need to talk too much, just to the point. But, the same problem comes back as usual, it is too difficult to communicate or to dial a number. I can get stupid chain messages, but no time to send messages about real important stuff. Brain damage? The consequences of midlife crisis? Hunger? I don’t know… But the lack of common sense strikes back… Why it is SO difficult to do what should be done, period? COMMON SENSE! Not rocket science! Again! (Sight).
So… The mage arrived at 7pm, as I had foreseen, and after trying to communicate some issues, we finally simply watched Dejavu. Another sort-of-watched… That kind of movie doesn’t interest me too much, plus it was predictable, cliché, and I was too tired. Thank God for a nice windy climate… Sleep was instant and a bliss.
Monday: Had fetal monitoring in the morning, gathering of a lab test, and gynecologist appointment. Everything is ok, no contractions showed up, lab was negative. The doctor told me, though, that since I’m high risk he can’t let me work after week 39 begins, so that means next week is my last week before starting the maternity leave. I wanted to stay until the last minute, but I guess it’s for the best. It is a hassle to get to work on time, during mornings I just want to sleep… Went to the dollar store to check the issue about the ATM double charge, and that was solved. Weeeeee! Finally, headed home to wait for the windows guy so he would keep working. Afterwards wanted to scrapbook some, but there was a light outage so... stayed resting on the couch… thinking how to solve so many mazes… At 9pm the light came back, so I just took a bath and went to sleep…
Today: At work. Still in filling frenzy, want to leave everything clear and neat. The morning is slowly passing away, and making me quite drwsy and sleepy in the process… Maybe it is best to actually accept the doctor’s decision without fighting it, being here is starting to be quite a drag... Got a mild headache that seems to be increasing, and cannot bend to lay down my head for a small nap. Just feel like sleeping, period. Gotta take auntie to the supermarket after work… will stop at the finance place to pay and then head to her place. Hopefully it all will be done by 6pm, I just wanna go take a bath and hibernate in bed… The draining process increases by the minute.
So… The good, the bad and the ugly keep being the same in Neverland. RoseRed has been quiet as it seems she likes the attention… I feel sad about so many things… but I know the answers will be thrown at my feet… and the new destiny that will come from it all shall be the best stage in the movie about my life. Laugh even if your heart breaks, there is no use for tears within Macondo… And make things happen.
