Sleepless night...
Nightmarish morning as the Mage painted a wall in Sweet Papaya, and what I thought would be a nice tangy thing turned pinkish... Ewww! So, need to get paint to cover that eyesore... for the weekend, if rain stops...
For some variety in life, yesterday was the doctor's appointment so took the day off for that endeavour. Everything is peachy and got some pics of Deirdre as well.
Afterwards, rain was a menace so went to look for a haven and El Calvo was at home. Stayed there for almost nightfall. He agreed to be the Mage's godfather for his Confirmation in August 24th... (hopefully it all wont end in the hospital with me), I'm due on the 25th... LOL And he treated me to a boricua homemade fruit salad.
The evening went fast, rain started pouring harder so I went home in a blink. Kitties were complaining, but couldn't let them out in the house, the stairs were wet. So, made a double whammy for me, as I was really starving, and then checked some old places that I don't visit so often. Updated this and that, and finally got sleepy... almost by the time the Mage arrived... And when he did, later on I woke up to grab a snack and we stayed talking beyond midnight... So, I am REALLY sleepy, only 5 hours of sleep... This will be a long, long day...
Looking forward to Transformers next week, and of course Harry Potter for the other one. In the meanwhile... Whatever seems decent...

Inferno, storm and paperwork
... Eve of my so-called-life...
Finally took the paperwork to AEELA for the death insurance. It won’t probably make it on time for July1st, so it will almost certainly be approved for August… Yup, everything will be August… The return from the taxes will be received by July 31st… In the meanwhile, a whole month of being screwed awaits… Oh well, like that will change from present status… I wanted to get some things done, but seems that everything conspires against what I plan… Whatever. As long as there’s food in the table, defeat of enemy and weeping of their women everything will be just fine.
I just got here at work, and there was no water so most people went with the wind… I was told so, but I stayed. I cant come tomorrow because I have a gyn appointment, plus the A/C here is priceless… There’s an inferno out there… that will be followed by plenty of rain, as I know that in the afternoon it will be impossible because there was a bad weather forecast… Infernal mornings, stormy afternoons, and nights filled with stress because of the stupid flying vermin that comes out whenever it rains… Ugh!
Groundel took his papers to the Reforma and at least that is done… He should get that card on Friday. One down, just Vivienda and Cupones to go. I’ll see if there is any way that El Calvo can bring some light on the Vivienda issue, since he knows the marshall of Anthill… perhaps a bit of pull could help a-lot… In the meanwhile, efforts now should be focused on Cupones. Let’s see how that story unfolds…
Raven needs 5th grade books for her son, so if any of you know or got those, donations are accepted.
I need someone who knows how to use a machete and is not afraid to show it off… So, if anyone knows such person, any info will be deeply appreciated. I need to get rid of the forest surrounding my house.
And that’s all for today…

Rain and brains
...
Not feeling too talkative. Tired and busy, mostly. This last weekend was sucky, rain disturbed all the plans... Did saw some movies, though...
Fantastic 4: Burp! That's my opinion. Liked the Silver Surfer, hated Reed and Sue, absolutely hated Jessica Alba (why, why, why, WHY was she casted as Sue?), dissapointed at DrDoom (but no one can performs miracles with such a bad script)... The best thing was Galactus, and you only see him once, so imagine...
Arang: A korean horror flick... mixed with some detective work (God, detectives that don't even use gloves to conceal their prints... Hmmm)... All in all, I liked it. Plenty of burrowed moments from diverse asian flicks (the long haired gal with blood-shot eyes, the deadly email & website, the ruthless revenge, the creepy sounds and play with ambience/shadows)... But the Mother & Child allegory throughout the film was really nice. Sad and creepy when the body of the mother & child are found... Haven't seen rape portrayed as it was in here, as core of all events for the girls grudge and the detective's desire to find someone... A good rental.
Wicked Little Things: LOL The Horrorfest flicks are turning out as very amusing linear films that are not so bad... We know what it is about, but the way they unfold the story is entertaining enough to keep interest on it. In this one, we expect the mindless zombie kids who died in a mine by 1913... We get a present day mom turned widow, left with only this creepy hill house in the middle of nowhere, and who decides to move into it (no more choices, she's alone and broke, and with a girl and a teenager). I really liked the forest shots, eerie and darkly beautiful. The mom slowly learns about her husband's family past, the truth about the local lore, the "ghosts" of the mines, and fights the real enemy. A bit corny, of course... but what the heck... much better than Freddy vs Jason, that's certain! Another good rental in a boring night.
Need to get my medical record at El Fondo, to see if the AEELA thinguie can move and be approved for July... If not, I guess August will do... Whatever. I'm quite drained from all that's going on. Deirdre feeds off my energy, leaving me with almost no resources to do the basics. I want to sleep and can't because of the friggin heat. Want to paint, but the rain wont let me... Want to trim the house surroundings but HELLO! can't even pick up a pick... LOL Oh, well... Guess that I'll stay making plans, writing them down, figuring out how to schedule them on the mage's agenda without killing him... I really feel like doing absolutely NOTHING. I just want to be floating in a shaded swimming pool, surrounded by blackberry ice pops. Wishful thinking...

A Tie Between Goddess and Drow...
Of course, you all know my preference...
In any case, both seem quite appropriate anyway.
Hmmm... Sometimes these tests can be too spooky in terms of accuracy... Sheesh!
10-4
In any case, both seem quite appropriate anyway.
 | You scored as Drow, You are a Drow, a very ancient breed of elf. They major in magicks. They very dark and mysterious and never trust anyone. Very shady, lonesome people. Lighten up and go to a party. You might meet someone special there... ^.~
What ancient breed are you? created with QuizFarm.com |
 | You scored as Goddess, You are a goddess. Your constantly helping people with their problems, but you never take time for you. You should try to take some alone time. Take a trip far away, where noone knows you. It will be good for you, because you deserve a break.

FATHER's DAY, Sun & Rain & Shadows
... Blah!
What a sucky weekend… The more you want to do the less you can do due to circunstance… The positive thing about it all was that at least the mage and I got to spend the whole weekend together. The negative things were mainly that we couldn’t do all that was required because of either the weather or ill intended people…
Friday night I simply went home. Placed pictures in a CD so I can send them someday to be revealed. I had rented some movies, but by the time the mage arrived I was completely out of service catching Z’s… I actually woke up by almost 4am, and so we saw one of the movies at that time… ABANDONED: what a crappy movie… Maybe a good idea, a completely lame execution. The idea of the doppelgangers was cool, though… So, at 5:30am we went back to sleep… The friggin birdies were talking too much, so it took me a while but finally zoned out.
Saturday… Midday. We both were kinda in blah mode, so we just watched the DIARY OF ELLEN RIMBAUER: Prequel to RoseRed… I really like RoseRed and the Diary was a nice little compendium of all the reasons why RoseRed exists… Wanted to watch RoseRed afterwards, but the CD of my dear movie would not cooperate… So, by almost 5pm we got out of the house, delivered the movies, got a bucket of Siliconizer and paint and made it in time for church. Father Edwin was really happy to see us, reminded the Mage of the confirmations (which were changed to, guess the date… August 24… Eeeeck!). After mass we went to eat some Chinese mofongo, and then headed home. We watched THE LIBERTINE, which turned out to be a hilarious treat. Gotta LOVE Johny Depp! Since we foresaw getting early to put the Siliconizer on the ceiling, we kinda went straight to bed.
Sunday… Oh we got early… by 8am… Not feeling up to much. I thougt I would just say goodbye to the mage, as it was after all Father’s Day and I expected him to go pick up his little girl and have a day of fun with her… I would simply go to Auntie’s and do the laundry, and come back to sleep… I was feeling beyond drained already, the day was too sunny…
As I went upstairs to get breakfast I saw the mage hanging up his cell, evidently bothered/pissed/you name it. His ex called saying she was not at home or in the area and that the child was with her, so he should not have to pick her up. WTF? The woman excels at being a bitch for the sake of it… She does what she wants when she wants, taking the mage in NO consideration at all in her decisions… not even letting him know out of politeness.
After a small while of me preaching with some anger, he called his ex’s parent’s house, and turns out she has been in a resort since Friday night… Lovely. Too much work on her side to let the mage know what she was up to… I hope he gets the point that either he do something to at least have legal rights, or to accept fate as it comes and not cry over it so much because wanting to be involved is not being involved for real.
Both the mage and I come from divorced parents, we both had difficult experiences based on that… But one thing is certain: a real parent is not an idea, but the one who is there all the time, studying with you, punishing you, wiping your tears, playing with you, pushing you to be all you can be… One day a week doesn’t make a real difference, no matter how you put it. Especially when it is certain that there is really no interest on the other family to actually include you in the child’s life… Either you include yourself by gutsy wits, or you stay away on purpose… Whining and doing nothing doesn’t really solve anything. And in the end, all becomes a big emotional snowball that crashes and melts… and all that stays is regret. True story…
So… the mage wanted to go out, so we went on the road. He drove until we reached Ponce… Not much to see, everything was closed because it was Father’s Day… So, we came back. In the way we decided to try a new route to get home, through 119. And from sunny, dry landscapes we got into rainy rainforest ambience… The wonders of the island… After a longaleer drive, he reached home. Heavy rain followed, then the sun came up as if nothing had happened… Nature, and its lessons… I stayed in the couch with the fan blasting some air, and so we started watching Xena:Season3. In the middle of it all, prepared some dinner, while the mage fought with the flying invaders that began trying to get into the house at nightfall… After 7 episodes, decided it was time to sleep… And so the weekend came to a closure…
Monday morning. The cell rings its alarm. A new day, heralding the new week… heralding work… I feel drained and exhausted, just want to stay in bed for the whole day… But it was only 6:15 and the heat was already rising. I need to put that A/C on the friggin wall… seems that a good night’s rest is stolen by the climate… feels as if I had not slept at all! Nauseous and dizzy, tired and overheated… and I made it to my office. I need to go to Aguadilla, but there’s no transportation available until Wednesday.
I can’t drive like this… so I guess I’m stuck here… in my lovely fridge… Blah… Gotta pay one of the past due finance bank… And gotta find out when the car’s back can finally be fixed.. that needs to be taken care of without further delay. Both things will leave me broke, another usual state that doesn’t help in anything… but well… what else is there to do? Everything is behind… and between that fact and the bad moments that people clash thanks to their stupidity, the shine of the promise of a better day fades… Reality is a blunt bitch that helps the bad and feasts on the flesh of the good. So, nothing changes…
Feeling: Moody, sad, breathless, irritated, angry, bothered, troubled, worried, anxious, concerned, pissed… Wish I could lock myself up in a dark room with A/C, and stay there for a whole week… no people, no facts, no daylight, total alienation… Just food, the mage and me…

A Joke about PR...
(Yes, pun is intended)
Un hombre muere y va al infierno. Allí descubre que hay un infierno para cada país. Va primero al infierno alemán y pregunta:
¿Qué te hacen acá?
Y el último en la fila le dice: Aquí primero te ponen en la silla eléctrica
por una hora, luego te acuestan en una cama llena de clavos por otra hora y el resto del día viene el diablo alemán y te da latigazos.
Al personaje no le gustó nada y se fue a ver en que consistían los otros infiernos. Tanto el infierno estadounidense como el ruso y el resto de infiernos de distintas naciones hacían lo mismo;
Entonces ve que en el infierno Puertorriqueño hay una fila llena de gente esperando entrar. Intrigado, pregunta al último de la fila: ¿Qué es lo que hacen acá? Y el individuo le dice: Aquí te ponen en una silla eléctrica por una hora, luego en una cama llena de clavos por otra hora, y el resto del día viene el diablo puertorriqueño y te da latigazos. Pero es exactamente igual a los otros infiernos...
Pero, ¿Por que aquí hay tanta gente queriendo entrar?
Porque nunca hay luz, la silla eléctrica no sirve, los clavos de la cama se los robaron todos y el diablo viene, firma y se va.¡Viva Puerto Rico!

Long days...
Longer nights...
Yesterday kept on being a long day. Picked up Groundel to take him to ARV so he could ask about his case. Raven passed by and took him to Anthill so he could make some inquiries at the Housing Dept. over there… Not much luck about that… Long waiting list, and he was advised to look for housing at Hometown since the odds are better… At least he got the paperwork that he needs to fill out. I passed by at midday to bring him back to ARV so he could talk to the counselor… I don’t really feel there’s much help there either but… whatever… Someone contacted from the disability form he filled over the net, and it was in the last conversation that they mentioned they did not belong to the gov disability program and that royalties if he gets disability help is 25% of what he gets… So we are hoping he gets nothing that way. Sheesh… it’s not like he would get that much anyway, and on top of that 25% off would not be so good either.
At night, went with LS and Groundel to wee Pirates of the Caribbean 3, again. Since I liked the movie, and Johny Depp, that was not much of a sacrifice. In all the fuzz I forgot to give LS something, so REMIND ME NEXT TIME!
My brain is not working too properly… I’m very worried about Groundel’s situation (someone has to worry), the heat in this friggin island is simply too much leaving me completely drained and exhausted by nightfall, and I’ve reached the beginning of the third trimester so now I’m worried of all the what ifs that may come plus adding the increase in stupidity from people. I’m concerned about all the things that must be done and still are in a halt, but not much that I can do about that… I can’t hurry as much right now, simply have no energy at all to fight destiny, and just want to be left alone. Being responsible for 70% of stuff is not fun, and it doesn’t help in the relaxing corner… Having to come to an office that makes me beyond anxious everyday is not fun either. Driving around feeling nauseous and sick all the time is not fun at all. The killer is always people and their comments, advise, pep-talk, you name it… For a no-nonsense realistic person like me, having all these pink butterflies fluttering around pestering me is worst than migraine. Sometimes a deep cavern in the Underdark is the best wishful thinking one can get…
The BabyShower Crew seems to be moving their butts. It was a good idea creating that… I would have not been able to actually focus on doing a shower, too many things going on around me. From the bits that I’ve heard, it all is going beyond what I expected… so as long as there is a diabetic cake and no sugar ice cream, whatever comes up is simply perfect. I hope Coriolis can contact the people on the Mage’s side, and that they actually show up. The Mage thinks so highly of them, and holds them in high regard in his heart, and I hate to see they are not around just because they don’t like me much. The past cannot be changed, but so many years should lead to some kind of maturity at least in thought and logic, if not in feelings. I hope that they put friendship first and that they show the Mage how much they value him and how happy they are for him.
So, that’s the main headlines in Neverland… for the day at least… We’ll have two weekends of commotion, one with Father’s Day and the other with the night of SanJuan. The isle where the fun never stops… Right…

I hope Coriolis can contact the people on the Mage’s side, and that they actually show up. The Mage thinks so highly of them, and holds them in high regard in his heart, and I hate to see they are not around just because they don’t like me much. The past cannot be changed, but so many years should lead to some kind of maturity at least in thought and logic, if not in feelings. I hope that they put friendship first and that they show the Mage how much they value him and how happy they are for him.
So, that’s the main headlines in Neverland… for the day at least… We’ll have two weekends of commotion, one with Father’s Day and the other with the night of SanJuan. The isle where the fun never stops… Right…

Many things, many things
...
Friday: False WIC alert, made a booboo since the date was for August. In the afternoon our dear LightShadow graduated from RUM for the second time, being Magna Cun Laude… (High Honor, you infidels!) So, many congratulations and celebrations and happy thoughts and wishes for all the success that she deserves!
Saturday: Nutritionist appointment in the morning… She’s very pleased with all the controls in food and gave me green light so I don’t see her again until after the birthing, if nothing gets out of control.
Sunday: Stayed at home movie watching while trying to combat the Grapefruit blues… CURSE THE GRAPEFRUIT!
Monday: Official appointment at the gyn, Deirdre is very much fine and so the doc is also happy with me. Whee or something… Unofficial appointment at the other doc who told me she wanted to see me… Oh, big mistake… thanks to that got an upset angry child and nausea and overall irritating blahness…
Tuesday: Third appointment at the Labor courses thinguie… Today it was all about nutrition. Also took Groundel to the cupones place so he can start his needful schemes. Back in the office… lovely cold place… La-la-la…

Info, info...
la-la-la...
Trying to get stuff done, little amount of time, too much heat and nausea to go any faster… Groundel should be out of the hospital today (Yay!). Went to catch some Pirates on Friday… A very fulfilling experience. :D Deirdre becoming the next Chung-Li… And that’s about it. Hopefully things will run smoothly in the office today, don’t feel like moving too much. Tomorrow the birthing courses start on mornings, so I’ll be off my office on Tuesdays and Thursdays during the morning, just for this month. The mage has a class on July (next month, next month) and may embark on some do-it-yourself projects this week, if the sun behaves.
Nothing further in Neverland…

COUNTDOWN TO A KILL
(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.

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…
