One thing down!

99 to go...

So... the week has been hectic, days keep flying away...

SUNDAY: Coriolis B-day... Not that it could be celebrated at all (para variar). The string of bad events included my car's rear leaking water heavily, my glasses breaking, the washing machine not spinning so I had to finish every item by hand, getting home to some annoyances... Long, draining day. Next!

MONDAY: Tired, monitoring the bathroom progress... obeying Deedee's comands... Ugh! Long, LONG day!

TUESDAY: Picked up Groundel early in the morning so I could do a bit more in the day... Went to WIC, to auntie's, to the Town Center, home to check the bathroom job, got some cleaning stuff at the nearby shopping center, delivered Groundel, bought food for the Mage, delivered the food, and made it home... Amen! Long day that left me comepletely drained.

WEDNESDAY: Slept a bit almost until 10am... Just watched TV, responded to all pf Deedee's demands, and tried sleeping in the afyernoon after taking some allergy medicine... LightShadow passed by to visit us... Oh, and she delivered food! Real food! Oh, yes, milk and Cheerios are ok but kinda lack in taste... Thank-u!!!

THURSDAY: Went to pick up Groundel, who invited to lunch and later on helped with some upholstering. Played some old LP's (yup, you read well... La Pandilla, Chespirito, amd other of my childhood favorites...), cooked something to feed the Mage, delivered Groundel, delivered the food, and got home for some serious Deedee time.

FRIDAY: The bathroom was FINALLY finished today, and the windows were FINALLY drilled... Amen. Gotta cleanup with some clorox in the weekend to dispose of the dust and yucky stuff. Gotta get a toilet seat and the half-bent shower curtain tube... And somewhere along the way see if he electrician can come light up the cabinet... But it should be at least usable by Sunday. I'm happy there's no more flowers in there!

WEEKEND PLANS: Tonight will hopefully see Halloween so I can actually talk about it... Will also try finishing Hairspray (found it boring)... So, tomorrow we will (maybe) finally go and see Stardust, and with any luck actually get to play some AlQuadym if Coriolis shows up... On Sunday we shall cleanup the blue bath, finish the sofa, and hopefully rest a bit more... Oh, and get the date for the baby's Christening reunion, so it can finally be done maybe in October's 1st or 2nd week...

Got a doctor's appointment on Monday, and another on Thursday... More excitement for the weeks ahead, yipee...

Anyone up to dressing up for Halloween? Yeah, think about it now so you actually do so when the week arrives. I wanna do something... Next year I hope I can finally go to the Horror Nights! Even as a weekend horror getaway...

Letter to an insect

...

It is funny when insects try to make comebacks to bite, and they don't really have much arguments.

Lady Death:

You live in EL CARAJO, so spare me your drama. Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one. You don't like mine, don't read it. Your lazy ass gave me enough proof of what to expect from you, who you are and how small your mind and aspirations are. You wanted a man to carry YOU around as a little pampered princess, you got him and that's great... Just beware of showing off your true colors so easily, life has a nice way of coming back at you.

Spare me your martyr speech: You have made no sacrifices, you make choices based on convenience. This from the same person that vented of how much she cared about her brother, about how she would take care of him no matter what... It was easy saying that when he was in a hospital, with your family as an audience. But it has been me all this time who has taken care of him, because I care. You gave a roof because your family gave you no other choice... And the roof is not yours anyway... thanks to your mother's disability you got a good apartment, and absentmindedly let go of it. Now the roof which is not your house, really, belongs to someone on whom you depend for everything... So much for being so independent, so much for venting so much brain, so much skill, so much smarts...

You waste youth, you waste a degree that you got for nothing (as you are not even interested in working), and in the shit you are in you drag your mother and Steve without taking them into account in anything. Bravo! It will be interesting to see when you wake up an smell the coffee...

Steve is a burden for you? He has never been a burden for me. He is family to me. While you gave blah blah, I did many sacrifices for him. And still do. I offered my house, it is HIM who has a problem with Anthony and so HE declined, so you know what to do with your words. If you have PMS or are having a bad day, take your shit on someone else, not on someone who even helped you giving you shelter, food, good advice, and even clothing... and you dared to bite badly. For hating hypocrites, you are damn good at being one.

Tales from Anthill

...

Wednesday had my first official drive alone with Deedee... Went to visit Groundel at the far away place that holds his new dwelling... And I mean it, it's far away! How to screw up someone's life... Lovely...

Thursday spent the whole day at home, felt too tired... the usual.

Friday had a visit from my sister. She's 33 weeks pregnant, expecting by Nov 1. she's gonna have a lottle witch, the irony! That date would have been perfect for Deedee... Oh, well...

Contractor still in the making of the bathroom... Las baterías Energizer duran, y duran...

Don't know if there will be a first game this weekend. I just know that tomorrow is Coriolis birthday, so WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! Happy B-day, kbronzote! :P

Y la aldea sigue ahí...

In & Out

...

Hectic days, chaotic nights, days flying by, some frustration, some awe, some elation, some marvel... The week in rock:
- May baptize Deedee next Saturday, if all stars align properly
- RoseRed still under construction. Thanks to that I'm with constant allergy and runny nose. Hoping it's not a cold, but it adds up badly to my feeling-loke-crap status
- Not much time to do anything, just help Deedee, and try sleeping in the breaks
- Grandmothers very happy in the end
- Groundel still grounded somewhere in City-of-Hills... Being trying to call him to no avail...
- Coriolis got a roof done, still not satisfied (duh)...
- The Mage starts working today... That's great financially speaking. And it's the pits for me, he seems to be a great calming factor on Deedee... Let's hope I survive this crashing-in week
- The Mage also has a Statistics test tomorrow, please send good karma his way!
- Me... Just being me. Same old same old, with high stress factors and lack of rest... Dont need to be at my lovely job to keep up the feeling... But underneath the grumpyness and curses, it is all fuzzy and blisful at least within. Home is where the heart is, and turns out that between the Mage and Deedee it is a perfect home. It is all a constant clash of thoughts, and I do miss my old way of living (you can take the mistress out of the darkness but you can't take the darkness out of the mistress)... I wish the mage would get into the darkside, but that's not him. And I respect his ways even if they bother me. Me, I wish I could have a way to share my line of thought without being dramatic, but that's me... The show goes on.

Lightspeed...

zoom in, zoom out

Days pass faster than a speeding bullet... In the meanwhile, the day passes slowly at night and so-so when the sun is burning. Updates:

FAMILY

Auntie going back to her basic bipolar self... One day she hates me, and the next she loves me. Whatever. We lasted one week under her roof after the Cesarean... I don't know what was so irritating: Me, the baby, the mage, a combination of all... Whatever. So When the second week began we moved to Anthill, which is istill under construction but... well... better to go up and down stairs than to be screamed at 24/7... Visited auntie during the week and she seemed happy. Ok... Who's filming this movie? Hmph?

Mommy's b-day was on the 24th, so we passed by for some minutes to say hi and show Deirdre off. During last week she left a little gift for Deedee at auntie's, she passed by the same day we left home. We may pass by today to give her a wedding picture that FINALLY arrived.

The Mage: As a daddy he is thrilled, happy and very busy, facing sleepless nights and busy days. My hero! :X Trying to keep college classes at bay, but still looking for a statistics calculator... He needs one for his Statistics II class, desperately!

Deedee: Little Deirdre sleeps almost each 4 hours, enjoys keeping us awake at 1:00 am and at 4:30 am... Got her ears poerced last Wednesday, so now she has red laser beams on the sides. Sporty onesies on weekdays, Sunday dressed as a DIVA! Yay!

FRIENDS

Coriolis still climbing the corporate ladder at least in theory... Friends in high places (make it impressed friends) may turn the tide for him... Fingers crossed, he busts his ass at work, so he deserves the cash. He has been the voice of the real world all these days. At least someone besides the mage brightens my day!

Groundel lost in translation in the Ciudad de las Lomas... His new dwelling has crappy celular reception and so we are facing serious communication woes. Hopefully I'll be able to pass by when I get better and I can actually drive.

LightShadow sending disturbing news about spiders invading texas, o algo. LOL Working girl is the main Fantastic Four female of honor. Yay!

Cook's birthday was last Wednesday, and I knew nothing about it. Gotta figure out what to do for her, she's been too nice and helpful. today she is in the capital, so whatever has to wait for a weekday.

HOME

RoseRed still has a bathroom in the making... All tiles are down, now only to wait for the guy to put them up. Finally got the white toilet, and we figured out the cistern throws water upstairs, only to the shower. Also, the water from the A/C somehow is getting to the first floor, and it damaged a bit one of the diningroom's chairs... Gotta get some barnish polythinguie to fix the damage... The ceiling fans are FINALLY up, ome of the antique chandelliers is up, only the kitchen rack, and addition, and the outdoor lights to go. Whee o algo.

ME

Feeling isolated from reality and the world. Sad about not having Groundel around, missing him terribly. All these days have been for visiting doctors, getting paperwork done, and staying at home trying to keep up with baby. Tired, grumpy, frustrated, achy. The C-section scar is healing well outside, but giving some pains from the inside... Slowly going back to my old self, amen. Angry at times, mad almost 24/7... The usual. Maybe it all has an enhancement of the so-called "baby blues"...

The mage has been on charge of most things... taking care of me, of Deedee, of house chores, of food... He looks exhausted most of the time. His help is deeply appreciated. Not every male in this island would do all he has been doing ever since Deedee arrived... and even before. I am glad he is at my side, even if sometimes his over-protective mature gets to independent me... Love is true.

So... Clouds arrived as usual, thunder is heard and heralds heavy rain (as it happens everyday in the afternoon here in Anthill). So that also means i must leave the cyber-realm once more because I don't want to fry the PC. So... Later, kiddies!
