and then some...
Ok… So now we are getting on a time warp zone or something… Last weekend both Saturday and Sunday were spent moving furniture from a donator’s home to my house. Thanks to that, now I am relatively stress free in terms of not having and empty house and in terms of it being more liveable… with potential for greatness. It will take time to refurbish the antiques and create some pillows and window treatments to match, so the living room, the fireplace room, and the dining room will seem pieces of the same jigsaw and be flawless… The kitchen will be a WiP that I shall address somewhere in 2 to 3 years. Right now… Main concerns are light and cistern… Need light to put the cistern to work. After that, the bathroom upstairs will need a revamp to make it usable. Followed by the one downstairs. Seems that I will get an A/C in place for the one I gave granny, so the main bedroom will enjoy that bliss. Also, got a king bed, a much needed donation. The family room will be no problem at all… gotta get the plastic covers and put everything in place. For now the functional kitchen will be upstairs… Everything getting a rightful place. Wheeeeee, o algo. The Big Orc and the Mage did a splendid job moving heavy stuff around, sweating like manly men…
Wedding stuff… Yesterday was “Getting the paperwork done and legal” day… Getting the papers at the government’s office, getting tested at the lab, finding LadyDoc to sign papers, back to the demographic register to get the License, and now we just need to give the papers to Father Edwin so the task is completed.. Just 8 more days until doomsday… And it all is going fast and certain. We didn’t expect a house that would actually have a place to sleep… or a honeymoon… And somehow, Someone has allowed these blessings to happen. Expect the unexpected… A rule of thumb. It all had to happen with the right match. Flawless magic, flawless deserved victory.
Went to see a nutrition lady on Tuesday. She wants me in a 1,900 calories diet… Just before a honeymoon… Like I will think of carrots and tomatoes when at Monster’s Café… Geesh! The woman is psycho and very military-like… Why I keep meeting these cartoonish characters? Anyway… she expects me to test my blood sugar 6 times a day. No problem if I had strips and lancets for free. Seems doctors don’t really pay attention when you say you cannot afford this stuff… Either that or they assume you will get loads of it because rich mommy or daddy will pay… O algo. Sadly I pay everything myself. No comments… The mage took care of that with the magic of his cards… At least he reinforces that it is a necessary evil…
In the middle of it all, I started having a fever on Wednesday night… and it went through the whole day yesterday. Went to bed at 4:00pm… Night was the same… High fever and coughing and not being able to take anything but acetaminophen and put an ice bag in my forehead. The fever broke this morning at 6something… So I gathered what was left of my strength to come to work. This cold is already taxing me, and feels like the fever will come back anytime soon… If it does, I’m out of here. I need a bed and just to lay on it. Big headache, big body ache, sore throat… Damn the flu season! This is bad timing for getting sick… I still have too much to do… I guess a visit to ER is in schedule, para variar… I just don’t seem to be able to get away from hospitals…
Groundel got out of the hospital on Tuesday’s afternoon (Wheeeeeeeeeee o algo). Seems to be doing better, but that one is another one who is out of needles, strips and lancets. The diabetic curse…
Coriolis has a wedding tomorrow, and will be the Godfather. Up, this is the year of the Godfather for him. LOL Oh well… Hope he can make it over here on Sunday, we need to straighten out the cake stuff once and for all.
Raven been very helpful with everything that has been going on. If it were not for her I would be completely medically impaired. Thanks a lot for everything you do, in and outside office hours. I know you have a busy schedule all the time, and I appreciate everything you do.
Same goes for LadyDoc. She doesn’t have to be so nice, but she is. And both the mage and I appreciate it a bunch.
As for close encounters of the seventh kind… I get reassured of the reasons why I dislike most of my family and why I rather stay away from them all. So I am a big-mouth, foul-mouth, whatever-mouth for them all… What is new? I say the truth to whomever, wherever, and I always have proof to stand by it. So I am fearless. Men can be fearless, but when a woman is fearless she gets banned as an opinionated bitch that curses too much and that has no reason to be so rabid… I have never cared about everyone else, but it bothers that my aunt takes sides with the enemies. Of all the people she should know my reasons to act and behave, and she knows that I do have plenty of etiquette when I want to.
Such a big issue about invitations! Geesh, people, lighten up! The ones that have not been delivered yet I have not been able to deliver because… ding, ding, ding! No time! Being sick and doing everything else is more than a bitch! Especially with my condition! So, please, BEAR WITH ME and stop whining so much!
So… Its Friday. Can’t go to Aguadilla, can’t drive so far today. Gotta run home, and huddle in my nest, and hope that whatever I have goes away so I can actually do what must be done this next weekend…

Pieces... Bits...
And more pieces...
Groundel back at the hospital ever since last week... Lovely hybernation... A complete package including 3 daily meals and nurses poking him. LOL Well, not all is so happy. His half-foot got an infection, so he's been getting intravenose meds but they were not enough... So, he had a minor surgery today. Back from the ER, seems fine... In room 206 at Perea Hospital, still no phone connected but you may drop by to make time less evident in that tiny rathole.
Me, 16 1/2 days until doomsday. LOL And so I guess the countdown begins! Found out a place with lovely yummy cakes that Coriolis can afford, so he should be happy-er. Not that he doesn't seem happy already... Guess who's getting the bridal flowers from the bride? By an exponential of two? LOL Who knows... Everything simple and to the point, NO reception. We will go to Longhorn after the ceremony and after saying goodbye to guests in general. Whoever who wants to spend a bit more time with us is welcome at the restaurant (each pay their own expenses, mind you! The mage and the witch are broke, so bear with us!). Anyway... Thanks to the witch's father there WILL be a honeymoon... YAY!!!! Almost two weeks away from the reality bites of this cursed island of madness... Now THAT's the real treat!
Invitations FINALLY arrived and have been sending them this week... Expect them by next week, though... I have so much faith in the postal system... Just in case it doesn't arriveon time (or in case it gets stuck in the Twilight Zone) I'll scan and post it here, soon enough. Not now. Too tired, with too many things to do... I'll get home straight to bed, that much is certain.
Was in Aguadilla today. Tomorrow I will only be in my office during the morning. And the weekend is already full... And soon enough we will salute the Three Kings again!
Sheesh...

Newsflash
... o algo
WORK
Well, back into the rat race... Nothing different just some changes in supervisors for some people... No changes that affect me. Inconsequential... I know I must go away from this soon to be Republic to actually have a decent job and a decent life. If I killed myself studying it wasn't to be this painting in a wall that everyone ignores! Out of patience... Wish the right opportunity would appear for me to move on, and leave this forsaken place.
HOME
Will try moving some necessary evils during the week and in next weekend. Gotta put together at least the second floor... So at least SOMETHING can be called a decent home... I know, home is where the heart is, but a little pampering is always a must!
FRIENDS
Small and brief appearances, but at least they have been constructive. Wish they could be around more frequently, miss them all a lot. But, life goes on...
WEDDING
El Calvo finding out quotes, Raven with some solutions, Keeper almost done with the dresses, just gotta figure out about the aftermath of the ceremony and if there can be a small getaway.
Busy bee, as usual... Many things going on, much stress... And thankful for all the help I'm getting.

A new year unfolds...
for better or for worst...
It’s been a while, but not because of lack of inspiration… Lack of time, lack of energy… Well, maybe… Since right now a party is in all its glory at the house next door, here I am! For your pleasure… LOL
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Yeah, I kinda missed saying that… It was on that week that granny was taken to the hospital because of a pain and now is a terminal cancer patient… Still there, now in a room all by herself… Can’t get up and won’t accept being wired so… Waiting for the Reaper to finally release her…
What a way to begin the year… Bitter-sweet… Been trying to prime the house. Groundel was of help, but there is much to be done and I only have two hands… At least he kept me company. The toll for overworking myself for almost 3 days was two days of complete shutdown… And then some…
Attending church celebrations: The night before Xmas, New Years Eve, and today at 10am will be the Three Kings Day celebration… It has not been a sacrifice, I love how the priest gives mass. And he seems very fond of the mage and me. In the end, we got the wedding when we wanted it: February. The mage cannot get his Confirmation in a while, so no sense waiting so long, and the priest agreed on that. Yay!
So… The Last Official Wedding Date: February 3, 2007. At 2:30pm in the Our Lady of Fátima church, in my hometown. We don’t expect much commotion, we both have only a handful of friends… But we do expect to be surrounded by all who in one way or another have touched our lives forever. So, if you feel compelled to join us, you are very much welcomed. We will have a small gathering when the ceremony is over in the surrounding areas of the church, most likely the kiosk. Invitations should be sent after the 15th of January.
WEDDING PARTY:
Maid of Honor: Raven
Godfather: Coriolis
Bridesmaids: Cindy & Melo
Flowergirl: Mandy
Ringbearer: Barbie
Coordinator: El Calvo
Brought to you by Kymill the Bard’s Productions
I hope that Groundel can join us as well… I know it all is hard on him, but I also know if he doesn’t go he will regret missing his best friend’s wedding. And he knows that he’s family to me. Always.
New Year brought many new surprises… With it, I began taking shots of insulin. Seems to control my diabetes much better… Still draw blood each time I do it… Hate needles! Was on ER two days ago due to an infection that almost got to my kidneys, but that is under control, amen to that.
Bought a 600 gallons cistern thanks to daddy’s funding. The mage got the pieces needed and hopefully it will be setup next week. At least that headache is vanishing a little…
Found El Calvo at home, and he agreed to help with the wedding decoration and details… within some medieval touches. A big weight lifted off my shoulders. I was flipping with what must be done… As usual, his guidance and direction, and certainty makes me breathe and smile. The mage’s mom will take care of some food, with some contributions of auntie… And of course, Coriolis sweet contribution too. So, the plan is coming together! Who knew!
Happily Never After: Cool cartoons, sucky to watch in Spanish… But at least it was fun. Loved the stepmom…
Night at the Museum: WOW! I was surprised… A GOOD MOVIE!!! Entertaining, hilarious, witty, funny, sexless, cute, filled with action and with enough drama… Gotta love the President and the cowboy-romanboy affair! GO SEE IT!!!
The music at the neighbor’s home is louder by the minute… sleep is overrated… Ugh! But I know… The little people must have fun too… Sheesh! Gotta find some sleep…

Back from the grave?
So this is Xmas…
What can I say… These days have been filled with so much contradiction. Everything being so bitter-sweet, everything being a mix of it all. Family behaving as the strangers they are… Friends teleporting every now and then… My dearest being his lovely self all the time… But somehow, deep inside, something seems so sad about it all… The puzzle is never truly completed… There is always something there to remind me…
Mother and auntie are quite disrupted since granny was taken to the hospital two days before Xmas. She had to stay there in intensive care. Her operation was performed yesterday, and took from 5pm to 8pm. The way that modern science try to elongate the inevitable is amazingly pointless… From what people that visited her today said, she was quite happy with everyone, talking a lot… She seemed to be doing better. As I arrived at 7pm, my aunt was in tears because my mother had told her that the doctors just said that granny is in a coma and that all they can do is give her medication to ease the pain… And that’s it. They found a tumor that evidently is malign… She already had cancer in her ovaries thanks to which all her reproductive system had been cast out, and obviously tht wasn’t enough. There was never proper care. Granny did all she could under the circumstances, most of the time not eating at all and expecting medicines to work wonders on an empty stomach. Can’t say that her children took any care whatsoever to make her well. Her son only appeared and called to get the little cents she had… Her daughter couldn’t care less… No food, no paying attention to her complaints, no time… So granny lived the life of a ghost, being remembered only when and if needed.
I cannot say that it all has been different with me. As I already said, my family is synonym of perfect strangers… I can only feel for two people who have always been there showing me unconditionality: my aunt and my uncle. And believe me, their way of showing their love is very hectic… and quite aloof. I am not emotional with whom is in no way attached to me. I may be emphatic… but some people have done so many things along the way that you cannot help but think why should you be compassionate. It is human to wonder such things in such a raw way… and wrong. Our Lord wants us to forgive and forget, and do unto others as you want others to do unto you. And we should cultivate a selfless spirit, being humane and just and fair… It is so hard to follow such teachings when you already have a perception that is backed up with truth… All I can do then is trying to stay neutral… And then I seem so emotionless. No. I just prepare myself to react being a problem solver because I know that things will come in such a way that everyone else will be lost in momentary emotions and noone will be able to actually think or make decisions. The story of my life… I bet my aunt thinks that just because I simply took a bath and locked myself up in my bedroom I am completely ignoring the situation about granny. She must be thinking of all the mistakes she made while raising me, because she created such a monster completely devoid of feelings… Someone who doesn’t follow the expected traditional “ay bandito” talk. I may feel my heart in a knot, but what else can I do… I lament the whole situation. I lament that the people that seem to be concerned are the ones that only wanted to get money from her… My cousin and his wife, my uncle from Florida, even my mother… All of them close to granny on a day by day basis… allof them taking her lifeforce and then showing the world such deep concern… Hypocrites. And they shall be remembered as the ones who cared… I wish it would be so. My belief is so tarnished thanks to so many reality checls…
And so, granny lays in bed waiting for science to give up and for the Reaper to finally take her to a better world. It moves me… But I think that the way she lives in this world is not truly living. Being enclosed in a bubble… erm, house… 24/7… No distractions, no human touch, no purpose… Is that better than being in a coffin? Seeing the cruelty layed on her husband, whose daughter put on a human shelter… erm, elder house… Seeing reality as her own daughter wouldn’t spend time with her for any reason… Seeing the news everyday, a world that is darker by the second, hopeless by a thought… I wonder if love ever reached that heart. I wonder if only once love filled a moment, an action, a smile… because everything I’ve seen is that they all reacted to get something… None of them ever did something out of selfless care. I wonder if she married my grandfather because of an illusion, or because of status. I wonder if she had her children out of true desire or simply because she had to fill the role that society imposses on married women… I wonder if there have ever been a hug just because, a kiss just because, a reching out just because… I wonder so many things… And it all saddens me. This material world that we all try so hard to survive in… how worthless it is! How empty and filthy and shallow and careless it is! And how come so many live their lives to get it all, and they do get it all… and then they find out they may have everything, but nothing can buy a warm hug, a sincere smile, the sweetness of true love…
For whom the bell tolls… Soon, it tolls for all of us soon enough. In the meanwhile, the dreaded silence, the long hours, the wait… The question is: What are you going to do with the time that you’ve cheated from Death? What are you going to do to really live?
So this is Xmas…
Friday: The Xmas gathering at midday at work SUCKED. And I was driven with a strong desire to simply go away from the place… I took the afternoon off, with the aid of my mage I took my small tree and the door garland and placed them in my car. Went to take auntie to the bank, to the grocery place… And then back home I finished putting up lights and stuff. Just as I was going to bed Groundel called, but I sticked with my plan… I was too tired, and wanted to sleep some because the mage wanted to go to the movies at midnight. So… I woke up to my mage’s tune. He arrived a bit later than I expected, and I knew that we would not make it… He had gone to his den to change and make himself ravishing… but the price was missing the movie… Oh, well… He decided to take us to Rincon, and we went there… Nothing to see, all was bad… I guess it was one of those days in which you really want to go out but there is absolutely nowhere to go. Ended up gathering provisions and crashing browsing the net… Cést la vie!
Saturday: Awakened by Michael, who asked if I was gonna do the mission… Oh, yes, I am… but why wake me up before midday, damnit! Well… Went to take Groundel and his stuff back to Lady Death’s den. Big fight because he doesn’t get he has to slow down a bit in life because of his foot… which is not cured completely. In the end, got wet twice (thought I would get sick) and left him at the mall because he was gonna meet some friends… I kept his necessary stuff (bandages & gifts) and tried to calm myself after such a bad tide… So many things to do, so said my list… I was quite upset because of all the people in the street… the rain… situations… The mage took me around, first to eat, then to make sure things were fine, then to wonder why I torture myself so much… then to take me away from this place… and so we ended up in Aguadilla. Nothing deep, just walked around and then we came back… Admiring the few lights that were lit this year… I was quite tired, feeling quite crappy, convinced I was sick… so went home early, and quite sad.
Sunday: Laundry… Gathering stuff to sell… The usual. Auntie told me about granny’s operation due on Tuesday. It all seemed a normal procedure so I really didn’t worry much… Went by the mages den before nightfall. Munchkin already was flapping around her new Dora plush doll, seems Santa was a bit early that day… Munchkin’s mom being in bitchy mode leading to mage being upset. Since it was the night before Xmas, church offers the Rooster Mass LOL So… Went to Groundel’s place to give him his bandages and things he bought the day before. Invited him to accompany us, and he was bored enough to say yes. Lady Death also went with us, after a mandatory change of attire (from sultry vixen to village virgin… Who knew? LMFAO!!!) The church didn’t crumble down at Groundel’s arrival. The mage was still upset, but the happy place and the drama evolving made the night interesting enough for him to dismiss his woes. From the moment I sat, I spotted a woman and an old guy and I told the mage “That is my mother”. He said nah… I mentioned the same to Groundel and he satarted ducking “Your mother! Where? Where!” LOL… Communion showed the mage that I was right… And the hilarious thing was that I was so concerned and it was actually my mother who looked at us as if we were ghosts or the four riders of the Apocalypse… Anyway… The priest never ceases to surprise us, this time he added FX to the ceremony. Everything was planned so as he blessed the altar, all Xmas lights would come up in the church and figures would move. That was lovely! Father Edwin is white and nerdy and proud of it. Yup, he’s one of us. :) As mass finished, there was the long line to kiss baby Jesus, and so we passed by my mother whom I saluted, followed by the mage and LadyDeath. I savored the moment saying “Oh, and over there in that corner is Groundel”… LOL So I sent the minion of Discord to him… I know he just loved that. They were giving asopao and juice outside church, but it was after midnight and we were all tired, so we went away fast. Delivered Groundel and Lady Death (hope that they both had a good time… in a way, this was a special silent night, Holy night). Stayed at the mage’s den for some food and went home… Of course I invited him over. So, as we arrived (and I was disappointed that auntie was sleeping) I turned on all lights and gave the mage Santa’s delivery. We stayed outside talking a lot until it was just too cold for me to bear it. And so, he vanished in the mists… Don’t you just love magic?
Monday: Woke up around midday. Fuss about mommy coming with her friend to eat at auntie’s, so I simply had breakfast and flew away to the mage’s den… with Xena Season 2 in my hands… Watched some episodes, went to get Groundel to take him to Michael’s house so he would get his insulina and in the way he got dinner for all. The mage and Michael seemed to get along well. After nightfall, we all went away… delivered Groundel and back to the mage;s den for more Xena mayhem. Yay! There were chapters that I actually have never seen… Who knew?
Tuesday: First thing in the morning went to take the mage in a paying bills spree. Afterwards found some gifts for some special kids, and went to pick Groundel so we would visit Raven and her children. Spent the afternoon over there, Groundel being quite busy putting together the raft of the lost boys from Neverland. Time went fast, Groundel invited a hearthy fishy dinner, and then I delivered the half orc into Michael’s realm of cards so I could go home to navigate ebay. Found some needful goodies after a long search, as well as the right inspiration for some garments. The mage’s mom will take care of actually making them, soon enough.And so, the mage appeared and the witching hour took us further into the lands of ebay… LOL I was falling asleep, so he left… to keep on with a quest…
Wednesday: The mage sent me a message, he found the missing place where the keepers of the rings lay. Yay! That quest is almost over… Picked up Groundel to go paint some at my house. Spent the whole afternoon priming walls… By nightfall I was too beat. Delivered Groundel, met Raven.. Came home, to find the ghastly news about granny… And so, I’m waiting for the mage to teleport and hold me tight. No news… Clock keeps ticking… I’m tired and sleepy. Life goes on…
Thursday: What's up for tomorrow? Need to go to the lab when I wake up, at 10am must go with the mage and his mom to get the stuff for the wedding, need to take auntie to see granny at 1pm, need to take Groundel to the mall in search for a shoe after 2pm… I foresee a long stressful day full of drama… Whatever. Everything in its right place, as God wills.
2006 has been a year of deep changes, bitter battles, high achievements and mournful losses. It marked my life forever, in every way. May 2007 be more merciful and kind…

I may be emphatic… but some people have done so many things along the way that you cannot help but think why should you be compassionate. It is human to wonder such things in such a raw way… and wrong. Our Lord wants us to forgive and forget, and do unto others as you want others to do unto you. And we should cultivate a selfless spirit, being humane and just and fair… It is so hard to follow such teachings when you already have a perception that is backed up with truth… All I can do then is trying to stay neutral… And then I seem so emotionless. No. I just prepare myself to react being a problem solver because I know that things will come in such a way that everyone else will be lost in momentary emotions and noone will be able to actually think or make decisions. The story of my life… I bet my aunt thinks that just because I simply took a bath and locked myself up in my bedroom I am completely ignoring the situation about granny. She must be thinking of all the mistakes she made while raising me, because she created such a monster completely devoid of feelings… Someone who doesn’t follow the expected traditional “ay bandito” talk. I may feel my heart in a knot, but what else can I do… I lament the whole situation. I lament that the people that seem to be concerned are the ones that only wanted to get money from her… My cousin and his wife, my uncle from Florida, even my mother… All of them close to granny on a day by day basis… allof them taking her lifeforce and then showing the world such deep concern… Hypocrites. And they shall be remembered as the ones who cared… I wish it would be so. My belief is so tarnished thanks to so many reality checls…
And so, granny lays in bed waiting for science to give up and for the Reaper to finally take her to a better world. It moves me… But I think that the way she lives in this world is not truly living. Being enclosed in a bubble… erm, house… 24/7… No distractions, no human touch, no purpose… Is that better than being in a coffin? Seeing the cruelty layed on her husband, whose daughter put on a human shelter… erm, elder house… Seeing reality as her own daughter wouldn’t spend time with her for any reason… Seeing the news everyday, a world that is darker by the second, hopeless by a thought… I wonder if love ever reached that heart. I wonder if only once love filled a moment, an action, a smile… because everything I’ve seen is that they all reacted to get something… None of them ever did something out of selfless care. I wonder if she married my grandfather because of an illusion, or because of status. I wonder if she had her children out of true desire or simply because she had to fill the role that society imposses on married women… I wonder if there have ever been a hug just because, a kiss just because, a reching out just because… I wonder so many things… And it all saddens me. This material world that we all try so hard to survive in… how worthless it is! How empty and filthy and shallow and careless it is! And how come so many live their lives to get it all, and they do get it all… and then they find out they may have everything, but nothing can buy a warm hug, a sincere smile, the sweetness of true love…
For whom the bell tolls… Soon, it tolls for all of us soon enough. In the meanwhile, the dreaded silence, the long hours, the wait… The question is: What are you going to do with the time that you’ve cheated from Death? What are you going to do to really live?
So this is Xmas…
Friday: The Xmas gathering at midday at work SUCKED. And I was driven with a strong desire to simply go away from the place… I took the afternoon off, with the aid of my mage I took my small tree and the door garland and placed them in my car. Went to take auntie to the bank, to the grocery place… And then back home I finished putting up lights and stuff. Just as I was going to bed Groundel called, but I sticked with my plan… I was too tired, and wanted to sleep some because the mage wanted to go to the movies at midnight. So… I woke up to my mage’s tune. He arrived a bit later than I expected, and I knew that we would not make it… He had gone to his den to change and make himself ravishing… but the price was missing the movie… Oh, well… He decided to take us to Rincon, and we went there… Nothing to see, all was bad… I guess it was one of those days in which you really want to go out but there is absolutely nowhere to go. Ended up gathering provisions and crashing browsing the net… Cést la vie!
Saturday: Awakened by Michael, who asked if I was gonna do the mission… Oh, yes, I am… but why wake me up before midday, damnit! Well… Went to take Groundel and his stuff back to Lady Death’s den. Big fight because he doesn’t get he has to slow down a bit in life because of his foot… which is not cured completely. In the end, got wet twice (thought I would get sick) and left him at the mall because he was gonna meet some friends… I kept his necessary stuff (bandages & gifts) and tried to calm myself after such a bad tide… So many things to do, so said my list… I was quite upset because of all the people in the street… the rain… situations… The mage took me around, first to eat, then to make sure things were fine, then to wonder why I torture myself so much… then to take me away from this place… and so we ended up in Aguadilla. Nothing deep, just walked around and then we came back… Admiring the few lights that were lit this year… I was quite tired, feeling quite crappy, convinced I was sick… so went home early, and quite sad.
Sunday: Laundry… Gathering stuff to sell… The usual. Auntie told me about granny’s operation due on Tuesday. It all seemed a normal procedure so I really didn’t worry much… Went by the mages den before nightfall. Munchkin already was flapping around her new Dora plush doll, seems Santa was a bit early that day… Munchkin’s mom being in bitchy mode leading to mage being upset. Since it was the night before Xmas, church offers the Rooster Mass LOL So… Went to Groundel’s place to give him his bandages and things he bought the day before. Invited him to accompany us, and he was bored enough to say yes. Lady Death also went with us, after a mandatory change of attire (from sultry vixen to village virgin… Who knew? LMFAO!!!) The church didn’t crumble down at Groundel’s arrival. The mage was still upset, but the happy place and the drama evolving made the night interesting enough for him to dismiss his woes. From the moment I sat, I spotted a woman and an old guy and I told the mage “That is my mother”. He said nah… I mentioned the same to Groundel and he satarted ducking “Your mother! Where? Where!” LOL… Communion showed the mage that I was right… And the hilarious thing was that I was so concerned and it was actually my mother who looked at us as if we were ghosts or the four riders of the Apocalypse… Anyway… The priest never ceases to surprise us, this time he added FX to the ceremony. Everything was planned so as he blessed the altar, all Xmas lights would come up in the church and figures would move. That was lovely! Father Edwin is white and nerdy and proud of it. Yup, he’s one of us. :) As mass finished, there was the long line to kiss baby Jesus, and so we passed by my mother whom I saluted, followed by the mage and LadyDeath. I savored the moment saying “Oh, and over there in that corner is Groundel”… LOL So I sent the minion of Discord to him… I know he just loved that. They were giving asopao and juice outside church, but it was after midnight and we were all tired, so we went away fast. Delivered Groundel and Lady Death (hope that they both had a good time… in a way, this was a special silent night, Holy night). Stayed at the mage’s den for some food and went home… Of course I invited him over. So, as we arrived (and I was disappointed that auntie was sleeping) I turned on all lights and gave the mage Santa’s delivery. We stayed outside talking a lot until it was just too cold for me to bear it. And so, he vanished in the mists… Don’t you just love magic?
Monday: Woke up around midday. Fuss about mommy coming with her friend to eat at auntie’s, so I simply had breakfast and flew away to the mage’s den… with Xena Season 2 in my hands… Watched some episodes, went to get Groundel to take him to Michael’s house so he would get his insulina and in the way he got dinner for all. The mage and Michael seemed to get along well. After nightfall, we all went away… delivered Groundel and back to the mage;s den for more Xena mayhem. Yay! There were chapters that I actually have never seen… Who knew?
Tuesday: First thing in the morning went to take the mage in a paying bills spree. Afterwards found some gifts for some special kids, and went to pick Groundel so we would visit Raven and her children. Spent the afternoon over there, Groundel being quite busy putting together the raft of the lost boys from Neverland. Time went fast, Groundel invited a hearthy fishy dinner, and then I delivered the half orc into Michael’s realm of cards so I could go home to navigate ebay. Found some needful goodies after a long search, as well as the right inspiration for some garments. The mage’s mom will take care of actually making them, soon enough.And so, the mage appeared and the witching hour took us further into the lands of ebay… LOL I was falling asleep, so he left… to keep on with a quest…
Wednesday: The mage sent me a message, he found the missing place where the keepers of the rings lay. Yay! That quest is almost over… Picked up Groundel to go paint some at my house. Spent the whole afternoon priming walls… By nightfall I was too beat. Delivered Groundel, met Raven.. Came home, to find the ghastly news about granny… And so, I’m waiting for the mage to teleport and hold me tight. No news… Clock keeps ticking… I’m tired and sleepy. Life goes on…
Thursday: What's up for tomorrow? Need to go to the lab when I wake up, at 10am must go with the mage and his mom to get the stuff for the wedding, need to take auntie to see granny at 1pm, need to take Groundel to the mall in search for a shoe after 2pm… I foresee a long stressful day full of drama… Whatever. Everything in its right place, as God wills.
2006 has been a year of deep changes, bitter battles, high achievements and mournful losses. It marked my life forever, in every way. May 2007 be more merciful and kind…

Just 4 more hours...
until Xmas break...
Yes, today is the last day at work before the Xmas closing. We will be off until Jan9 thanks to all the Holiday celebrations we have in this forsaken isle: Xmas day on the 25th, New Year, Three Kings Day on the 6th and to top the cake with icing it will be a local holiday on the 8th thanks to the birth of Eugenio María de Hostos. Of course, the party goes on with the octavitas after 3 Kings Day, but that is another story... Gee, I wonder where the reputation of 'ricans being party animals come from... Capital of rum and high rating on vices... Gotta be sooooo proud of this little isle's party outlook...
Me, I'm taking two garbage bags so I fill it up with the little Xmas tree I put up in my office and the round garland in the door. No, ain't gonna dispose of them, I actually put them to celebrate Jesus birth (gee, what an innovative idea in such a commercialized land!)... I'll take them to auntie's home, in case I have no time to put the big tree over there. My little one is classy, colorful and lovely and so, it deserves to have two more weeks of life. Wheeeeeee, o algo.
Yesterday was the administrative side lunch at Franco. The food was selected for us, and we had to pay almost 8 dollars... for food that to my understanding was not so great. And yes I have eaten at better places, for the record, since it seems people believe I have been a cheap ass all my life. Ever since I was little my uncle took me and my aunt to expensive restaurants, so yes I know about good food... And those were the times of quality and quantity at heavenly prices. These days things you get for 8 dollars are quite crappy... I rather have two chicken crisps and a yogurt at our favorite's red haired lassie's fastfood. With 3 dollars I kill the one who attacks without mercy and I don't stay hungry. I dislike spending so much in food when there are other needs... I dislike how people use these gatherings as masquerades to see who is better than who... But that's me.
Today is the whole Administration and Services lunch, courtesy of the bosses. It will be here in our conference and will be the usual thing... Pork ham, rice and gandures, tembleque and a refreshment... Maybe some typical music... Maybe some games... The mandatory gift exchange (which I decided not to participate as last year, since the first 3 years I actually got no gift). Will try taking the afternoon off since dear auntie wants to celebrate her weekly ritual of bank-grocery today... at evening... a friday on Xmas weekend... Ugh! Double take of ugh for me!
So... Have some plans with the mage tonight and may have some necessary things to do tomorrow... If any of you kiddies need me call me up. And naughty or nice, I am a 3 Kings Day gift giver, so expect only good wishes on the 25th. LOL Yes, I kinda like supporting our true root traditions... Sadly, almost no one else do.
Don't let the Old Red Fat Guy bite you!

Up and down...
round and round...
Today… A rollercoaster of emotions and feelings… Happyness thanks to my mage’s messages, and outrage thanks to all situations at work… which simply translate to nothing… translating again to staleness, immobility, been tied up inside a car’s trunk waiting for someone to throw the car in the deeper end of the sea… Those who don’t expect much of life get what they want. Since I expect everything of life, and work towards it, I get nothing. And the worst thing you can do to someone who has so much desire to do things is to simply push her inside a dark room and forget she exists. Nothing more to expect in here, nothing else to look forward to. Frustration turned into a hopelessness filled with anger… because no matter what I do or how well I do things, no matter how much one surpasses the norm… one cannot grow.
So I want to leave… And just yesterday an industry layoff 800 people in Cabo Rojo… Industries keep closing. Talented people with BAs and MBAs keep getting off the island to search better luck in Uncle Sam’s territory… What is to become of this society where people are mostly uninterested in progress, where the government keep allowing industries to go away thanks to lack of incentives and stupid useless taxes that in the end are not used for the island’s sake… where younglings keep killing themselves off because of drugs… where the good die alone and in misery, and the bad rule and take all the money and laughs in your face… I can’t stay with crossed arms doing nothing, witnessing insanity and recklessness… Am I to become another statistic of the ones that choose to leave this place because the shit stinks too much? Am I to go and never turn back, because the first to turn their backs to me where family and friends and then government and hypocrites?
This is a land of unsurpassed beauty, and as every Eden there is a curse… Humans… Damn humans that get some luck and want more and more at the expense of anything and anyone, and who will stop at nothing to accomplish those means. Our leaders direct blind sheep that only care about 3 reasons of weight: red, green and blue. Any portorro knows the meaning of these colors… hallowed birds that forecast the end of reason and the doom of progress and equity. Political divisions divide my land in an irreparable way. It is the way that keeps the dumb even dumber, that gives a razzle dazzle to make people believe that leaders are working for the people while masquerading their thefts…And even if they are unmasked, actions mean nothing… colors are the only reason for validation, for power… Colors! No matter the education… no matter the insight… Just colors…
I am fed up with all this. Working in government has left q bitter taste in my mouth… It has been a time where I have rot in an office and where people have confined me to alienation because I actually look forward to earning a living doing the unthinkable… actually working. Frustrated… Angry… Bitter… Merry Xmas to me.
Take work away from me, and then you take away my woes. Personal life is blissfully surreal… Finally that jigsaw puzzle has been solved… The mage cast a powerful spell when he came back from the lands of mists… The soundness and certainty of it all is the greatest gift I could have wished for… If all this has been possible, then something can be done about work… I know that everything has been falling in place, little by little. Time has been diligent and swift and very kind. I ask only for the piece that could make everything perfect… I believe it can be so. I hope it doesn’t take me away from my homeland… But I am realistic in my thoughts and things are going from bad to worst in this Island of Paradise… Let the best option come to me as everything else has… I believe, miracles happen all the time in the most unexpected ways...
So… Sad but happy but hysterical but mad… Oh yes, always the mad witch.

I'm comin out!
... (ombliguito)
So... The merryness of Xmas is not too evident, but hey... shit happens. I still have not been able to put up the tree at my house and at auntie's house... I may take the one at work, put it in a trash bag and take it home so at least there is something merry in the house... LOL Much bitchiness coming from auntie these days... because everything is my fault. The luck of being the only one there to blame... Whatever.
Got a card from my father with a much appreciated and needed gift. Now the cisterna is a certain thing. Wheeeeeeeeeee! Been taking food to eat dinner at Michael's and spend a bit of time with the ogre. And the mage has been teleporting to my office so at least he gets to see me in daylight... Pass the BBQ. Tomorrow will be a lunchtime activity at Franco... piggy bank must break some... And on Friday they will do a small Xmas gathering at lunch as well... Geesh... Work is such a fun place... Disney, eat your heart out!
ABOUT FRIENDS
The doctor seems happy with the way Groundel is recperating. He has muscle tissue covering what was a hole... Pictures in his Groundel's Fotolog Yeah, it is taking shape. And you cannot see the bone and everything else that was quite raw and obvious before.
Coriolis attacked by the blues, but hanging on. Like all, things pass... Be certain that everything either good or bad must pass. And it all is for the better.
Can't say much about Raven, she's been busy and missing in action. Heard that she might have some days off work... Should try planning something, a Xmas gathering o algo.
LightShadow with only a seminar to graduate, amen to that. The big plan will come together, Hannibal said it. :)
Popu, don't stop taking care of that foot. Glad that you finally got a lair to call your own, nothing like ultimate peace and quiet!
LadyDeath, stay away from white! What's on your Santa wishlist?
And finally, Zordak... Being his thoughtful, kind self... Always making me feel as the queen I am. He's pulling some things together, and all for the best. He never ceases to surprise me, and amaze me...
ABOUT ME
Life: Busy. Too much to do, too little time. Plotting and planning and viewing alternatives for the main event. And plotting and being spontaneus about going around... The noise of people in shopping mode and the city jams are quite annoying... Finding myself in wanderlust through the woodlands listening to Native American Indian music...
Feelings: Soundness, certainty... A bit sad. Much happy. Much optimistic. Much blessed. Good things come to those who wait, and to those who are nice all year round... Sooner or later (or like in this case, much later) there is a big reward... The Grinch cannot take that away.
Well... Not into a deep Xmas spirit, but enough to at least wish you all many blessings, above all peace of mind and quietness in your hearts...

Of time past...
(how poetic)LOL
Friday: Went to pick up Groundel so we waited at auntie’s until the mage arrived from work to go see Eragon. Hmm… What can I say about the movie? Too fast, no character development and too much “Use the Force Luke”. The acting was terrible, the only interesting thing in the movie was the different shots of the city within the waterfall… And the dragoness sucked. Start by analyzing WHY an egg would look like a Tylenol caplet… They could have done so much better… Seems directors don’t get that there were two periods: Before LotR and After LotR. And “after” demands more attention to detail and plots, not trying to feed a vein with hog food.
Saturday: Was in a bad mood for seeing people, so as soon as I got together with the mage I asked him to boldly go were noone has gone before… o algo… LOL We took the scenic route, to Arecibo and back, through Utuado went to visit Caguana by chance (native Indians ceremonial park…sort of, what is left of it…). Passed by Lares and San Sebastián and got in time for church… It was a good long day. The journey was delightful, so much green and crowdless roads while listening to native American Indian music… The flutes are quite enthralling.
Sunday: Woke up too early for my taste… Cleaned up the kitties room, had to run to get some litter trash bags and return asap… Stayed with the kids while dying my hair, slept a little nap… And finally got out of aunties to meet the mage at night. Bad became just the right amount of great, and so the tale ends happily ever after. Wheeeeeee, or something. Back home, went to sleep quite fast… No message from the ogre, I wonder how things went with his endeavour…
Monday: At work… This should be last week before the 2 weeks shutdown… Yay! Well, we all hope that will come true, at least I know I need a longer break to forget about this cursed place for a while…
This seems interesting for a small read: The Tripple A's of a Great Relationship No pun intended ;)
LadyDeath: Oh, never use Same... It is a bad imitation of what sugar should taste like, plus it is also bad for the body. Trust Splenda, it tastes better and has no long-term side effects. All in all, keep on with the sweets. Have you thought about selling diabetic sweets? That's a great niche, especially here!

Sunday: Woke up too early for my taste… Cleaned up the kitties room, had to run to get some litter trash bags and return asap… Stayed with the kids while dying my hair, slept a little nap… And finally got out of aunties to meet the mage at night. Bad became just the right amount of great, and so the tale ends happily ever after. Wheeeeeee, or something. Back home, went to sleep quite fast… No message from the ogre, I wonder how things went with his endeavour…
Monday: At work… This should be last week before the 2 weeks shutdown… Yay! Well, we all hope that will come true, at least I know I need a longer break to forget about this cursed place for a while…
This seems interesting for a small read: The Tripple A's of a Great Relationship No pun intended ;)
LadyDeath: Oh, never use Same... It is a bad imitation of what sugar should taste like, plus it is also bad for the body. Trust Splenda, it tastes better and has no long-term side effects. All in all, keep on with the sweets. Have you thought about selling diabetic sweets? That's a great niche, especially here!

Twilight of the Giants...
o algo...
Tuesday: After a conversation at midday the brilliant idea of asking something to an old DM triggered many emotions… At night, the mage had already taken some steps a bit too fast. Well… Shit happens. At least no harm done, so far…I think that she is playing dumb when she asked what he wanted to tell her… My two cents. Coriolis gave some insight to my clouded thoughts… guess I need some evil thoughts to burst my bubbles. I believe in change and can still fall into naivety… I must be very much aware that some people enjoy evil acts… I have been witness to that since forever. And I should expect anything by now… Whatever. If she plays dumb, hey, that can work.
Wednesday: Afternoon off. Stopped by the mage’s den, then went on to take auntie to the cursed bank and to do the grocery endeavor. Got a message from the orc asking if I wanted pollo, but since the date was already sorted asked him for a raincheck for next day. Went with the mage to dine some fancy fishy… the buttler made us feel so special, he really earned his tip! :P Visited our place to figure nothing new has been done so far thanks to the constant rain. Actually went to sleep by 10pm… I was falling asleep as I talked…
Thursday: Morning at Aguadilla, afternoon at my office, night at Michael’s and LadyDeath’s. She made some arroz con dulce and delivered to some people. It was good enough, just a hint: Splenda and sugar don’t mix. It should be either one taste or another… Adventures of the Palate! On the next… Geraldo! Browsing some fed jobs and some local gov jobs… Felt the urge to go. If only every job offer I read would not seem so pathetic… And if only they were not in the Metro Area…
Friday: Presentation of the demo site for one of the branches, they like, me happy. Midday went with two burritos and nice phone company. Coming back actually got a yahoo im from LadyRyoko… Talk about ghosts reappearing! I guess that news took flight and by now are burning every corner… So, ask if any questions... freely and unafraid. So I’m guessing that finally Trilogy knows for sure. Hopefully things will simply stay as they are. No drama. No troubles. The mage and I do not need any kind of misbehavior from anyone but ourselves. Hopefully will watch Eragon tonight.

Reverie!
About Bdays and cats and people...
I am deeply sorry to announce that Eiji, Lady Death’s kitty, passed away last night. She had leukemia, and had grown weaker by the day… She will be sorely missed.
Another B-day passed, on Dec 10th... Happy B-DAY RAVEN!!!
Some trouble in Neverland, thanks to some differences of opinions that cannot be easily overcome… But… There is ALWAYS a way. It is all a big pity that people won’t give in to tolerance and reach some middle points. I wish that the different groups that makes up our daily lives would forget about the past and embrace what is now… without distortions of any kind… without misunderstandings… with open communication… I have always disliked the failure to address things to the face and the willingness they all have for doing things behind one’s back. Of all the people, only two speak directly to me even if what they have to say will anger me… and they are Coriolis and Zordak. Everyone else hit around the bush, and they go around it so much that they get lost in the way. Silence is omission, and that is why it is a fault as big as a lie. I believe that if you have something to say, you should just say it. Trust is the main ingredient among friends, and an acceptance of the whole is the cherry of the sundae… We are not clones. We are meant to be different, in every way… And it is beautiful when different cultures, minds, beliefs, opinions, characters and humans can band together for one common goal: Really living.
Once upon a time unlikely people met by chance’s desire to be creative… too creative. Somehow the small snow ball became a big ball of shit that covered us all. We all took sides, separated for good… or for bad… Truth went buried in the process, buried by hate and anger and fear… The Dark Side reigned without boundaries. Now, more than 15 years later, feelings of unease linger… I know who I was for them, and what I will always be. I am very realistic in what to expect from people. I know what they were for me, how deeply I cared and how deeply they backstabbed me. Right here, right now, I feel nothing. As time passed by I even dared to manage a hello and a smile, and they turned their faces. As time passed I realized my so-called hate turned to pity, because I began seeing them as the little people who were troubled because of life’s accidents, because not everyone can survive a battle without scars. Through it all there are lists of bad things that were targeted towards me, things I did not deserve. But I know how they all twisted the truth to make it their own truth… and how some that called themselves my friends became the first ones to encourage such things, such lies. The ball of shit landed on all… No problem for me, it was easy to clean off because I had done nothing bad towards anyone. Indeed, all I tried to do was them understand that we could have worked so well as a tribe of outcasts… that each of us had a defined purpose… that we should not cannibalize ourselves but work for us all… Throw pearls to pigs… They will loose them or eat them. So sad… because those people impacted my life so much, and even if it was in the beginning I did looked up to them. I guess that was the early lesson that I still don’t acknowledge: Get used to disappointment. I don’t need them. I have some fond memories of them all… I have too many bad memories, but choose to let it stay as that. As years pass, you understand that you waste much time in petty fights, in petty beliefs… Big bangs that happen out of meaningless things… And then you understand that the most important thing was surviving… and those who survived with you. Not every man has truly lived…
What an intermission in my history… What a gap in the Matrix… The years of Dungeons and Dragons shall always be one of the fondest memories… I was changed forever. I met the ones who mattered most in my life, for better or for worst. And childhood friends were tested as well… Some failed. Some survived… One childhood friend always remains to remind me of who I was, who I dreamt to be… She always inspired me, made me keep hope. Through ups and downs, through rise and fall… a constant warmth, a giving smile. It’s been 20 years, and although life has been harsh and unkind to her, she still has that giving smile that I admire so much. Many things have come between us, many people of the wrong kind… many misunderstandings due to lack of communication and bountiful assumptions. But somehow she managed to always be there, even if Titanic sank she survived… even if a cataclysm tore the lands apart, she survived. And so far, the fondness and friendship has survived as well… although things are never as I want them to be. I learned the way of the tribe but somehow I am always forced to dismiss it… People regard friends as people. The very few I call my friends are my family. For people I have no right to ask or expect anything, for me I am always responsible for my tribe… my chosen family. For people I worry too much, and I am so controlling… For me, if I don’t worry and move to find answers no one else will. Always clashing perspectives… I wish they could grasp reality in a different way, but their own reality clutters their sight so much they have even lost sight of their fondest dreams… and in that chaos, in the half-truths, in the silent omissions… it all pushes me away… I’ve fought the currents for long, to get to them… It is time they face them for a change. I am tired. I am disappointed. I am hurt. My tribe has forsaken me by choice. It saddens me deeply.
The world keeps spinning, and we all shall meet again… somehow, somewhere. The question is: Who grew up? Who hasn’t? Who holds grudges? Who savors life? Who is true? Who lives a lie? Who is your truest ally? Who is your truest foe? No truth is absolute, but deceit always carries heavy burdens... As of here and now I find solace and strength and courage in my mage. But it doesn’t mean that I forget… or that I ignore… or that I don’t know… I wish I could share the bliss that we bring to each other with the people that matter… It gets tiresome finding so many obstacles… nothing is ever easy… Let go of the evil that is done to you, write it in sand… And keep the good that is done to you, write it in stone… Are we all tough enough?

Busy bees...
Another weekend that came easy and went easy… Of the myriad of things to do only a few could be done… We are not masters of time, and it is betraying us badly.
SATURDAY
Woke up early and went on to get my eyeglasses… but found they had a defect on the lenses, so had to leave them… They should be ready by Thursday. After that, went on with the mage to get some needful things and big bags of chicken. So… Delivered one bag of chicken to Groundel, delivered the second to the Keeper, and finally went to auntie’s so we could get the A/C and TV so we would get it to our soon-to-be home. On the way, Coriolis called asking where were we… We were to eat something before heading to Hormigueros and so Coriolis appeared to share a few words. Being the comfortable whore he is, when asked to help deliver the A/C he vanished. So much for having muscles… Anyway… Arrived home under the rain, and we kinda unloaded my car… We put the Xmas tree and its décor on the second floor but left the A/C on the first. I could not help the mage bring it up and I didn’t want him to die or something. So… Wrote on the walls so the McGyver guy will know where the ceiling leaks are, and where I want the A/C… We went to Walmart to gather kitty stuff, and then to eat something before mass.
Arrived at church. Before the mass, the priest came to us and joked around with the mage… basically telling him to say “Amen”and not to bite him. I found it hilarious that the priest had a Twilight Zone t-shirt underneath his ceremonial attire. So… The mass went on, and the mage expected to follow my lead when the time arrived… Little did he suspect that the priest would call him alone, announcing his first communion to everyone. I wanted to laugh so badly, since I knew how ackward the moment was for him, he hates being in the spotlight. He walked back to the seat quite serious. Well, I admit I was quite happy and proud of him. A small step for men… The priest was quite in a good mood, later on asking people to give an applause to him. Then he also gave the blessing to a married couple that was celebrating their 33 years… He mused what a life long sentence! And then after blessing he asked for an applause after stating “lets give it for the newlyweds!”. Yes, this priest is quite a happy funny guy… And it is ironic that most of the time he is sick and in pain… But he changes completely when at mass. And at the end, kids always go to him for a blessing. After mass he congratulated the mage and told him to go celebrate… Well… Duh! LOL
We planned going to the theater but since the mage got two movies we simply crashed at his den and watched Phantom of the Opera. I fell in love with that movie when it came out, actually renting it 3 times… A nice way to celebrate, o algo.
SUNDAY
Woke up before midday, and went on to do the laundry and clean up my bedroom. The whole thing took me until almost 5:00pm… Again, the kitties where left for later. Groundel arrived around that time, and so stayed for a while. We had a bit of fun over the net, helped him give a facelift to his MySpace profile, and when the mage arrived we all went to eat something. After we delivered him to Michael’s home, went with the mage to see Apocalypto. The movie had breathtaking attention to detail. They made history quite gruesome and realistic, for that is the way things were… Found it a bit long due to the constant runs… and actually the movie was two hours, not so much… But besides that, it was nicely done.
Arrived at home at midnight, to find that I left the keysin my bedroom… After some moments of despair, the mage went over the house and knocked at the ceiling. That got my aunts attention so she finally opened up… LOL I know she must have had quite a scare…
Today… Will be working on the CAME site… The director needs it for this week, so I will humor her. So… Foresee a busy day.

B-day!
and then some...
Monday brought LadyDeath’s birthday, so… HAPPY B-DAY!!! LOL Groundel contacted me in the afternoon so we could gather in the night at Lady Death’s home to at least share a dinner. Would have brought cake if I had known they had none, but Groundel still has communication issues… Always the ogre in his blood… Whatever. The mage manifested himself near midnight. And the guy working at our house passed by to give updatesand info. So far, so good. There may be a slight chance that all basics are done by the end of year… Yay!
Tuesday... Spent the whole day working on the intranet site... Took auntie to the grocery store and browsed a sucky home magazine. The mage arrived in time as I was beginning to fall asleep...
Today I should work on the CAME site. The director wants something for next week, so I'll see if I can do something decent as a demo. Tomorrow I have to wake up early to get the bus to SJ, got the interview for the counseling studies thinguie. Wish me success!
Coriolis with a special mission… (You know what). Raven lurking around in the shadows. And ghosts tripping, tossing and turning… Macarena!

Hectic, fully loaded!!!
And some sleep...Amen!
It was a long weekend… Friday night I basically went home and went to sleep by 8pm… Have a remote memory of the mage calling, since I kept on sleeping. I even missed the morning appointment since there was a power outage and the clock resetted itself… Woke up by 10am. So… Decided to do what I should have done the day before…
Groundel had asked me to get him some medical stuff, so went to the pharmacy to get it all. After the pharmacy went to try finding a plastic box, a small quest since most were priced above $5 and I wouldn’t pay that much… Finally found the perfect box for $2… Wheee o algo. Since I couldn’t find the mage, went on to Michael’s home. At first there was noone, and when I was about to turn around and go away a car arrived with the 4 musketeers… Delivered the stuff, including a small mouse that sings a silly Xmas song… Finally reached the mage by phone, and went to pick him up so we could eat something… On the way to his den, the leather place was open so I bought some brown leather for the old chandelier that needed some fixing up… It should look cool when I do the DIY project… Anyway… Stayed at the den until nightfall, then went home to prepare ourselves for the main event: the mage’s corporate party.
Well… After some procrastination we finally went on to San Germán. We arrived around 9:30pm, and there was no parking space at the place, so we were sent to the company’s parking lot where a shuttle was coming and going. The party was a bit dead, the music choice sucked badly… The food was ok, and the frappe was supper. After a while at the ground floor, we decided to search for a table so we went up. At what can be called the 3rd floor we found the perfect spot. Just when we gave up and decided to go because the party was too boring, some indoors fireworks exploded. That was a cool and lovely fire hazard… nevermind that… people definitively didn’t as they got closer to the source of the fireworks… STUPID. Oh, well… A group made an entrance, and in my opinion they were the best entertainment of the night. Typical, some bomba and plena can liven up anything. They were outstanding… And they presented Manny Manuel, who played afterwards… Ugh! That’s when we left. I dislike that guy… and he was in charge of the rest of the night. So… It was around 2am when we arrived home. Did I mentioned that we both had to wake up at 6:30am on Sunday? Well… what a plan… Logged in to check some mail and 4am arrived. Went to sleep, and the mage woke me up at 6:20am… Creatures of the night should never go into the sunlight…
Sunday morning… early morning… We arrived at PabloXI and the whole closure prenup began officially at 8am. The first conference was cool, of course it was made by Velez Arocho… who had to take a flight by 10am but took the time to be there. The guy doesn’t cease to amaze me. From that, the other conferences kept going downhill… I was too drained and too sleepy and they were too repetitive and too boring. Finally, mass and the end of it all. Visited my doctor to get a prescription and gathered bread and juice for today. By 8pm left the mage at his home and went on to mine, to sign off by 9pm. Finally… Sleep… That was delightful.
Today, the day has gone slowly… Got a call from the guy that is doing things in my house, he’s almost finished with the doors and ceiling sealing stuff and was asking if I needed anything else done in cement. That has been the excitement of the morning… So… Tired, but not sleepy. Next weekend should be putting-up-Xmas-trees weekend… That should be fun.
Later kiddies…

Well… After some procrastination we finally went on to San Germán. We arrived around 9:30pm, and there was no parking space at the place, so we were sent to the company’s parking lot where a shuttle was coming and going. The party was a bit dead, the music choice sucked badly… The food was ok, and the frappe was supper. After a while at the ground floor, we decided to search for a table so we went up. At what can be called the 3rd floor we found the perfect spot. Just when we gave up and decided to go because the party was too boring, some indoors fireworks exploded. That was a cool and lovely fire hazard… nevermind that… people definitively didn’t as they got closer to the source of the fireworks… STUPID. Oh, well… A group made an entrance, and in my opinion they were the best entertainment of the night. Typical, some bomba and plena can liven up anything. They were outstanding… And they presented Manny Manuel, who played afterwards… Ugh! That’s when we left. I dislike that guy… and he was in charge of the rest of the night. So… It was around 2am when we arrived home. Did I mentioned that we both had to wake up at 6:30am on Sunday? Well… what a plan… Logged in to check some mail and 4am arrived. Went to sleep, and the mage woke me up at 6:20am… Creatures of the night should never go into the sunlight…
Sunday morning… early morning… We arrived at PabloXI and the whole closure prenup began officially at 8am. The first conference was cool, of course it was made by Velez Arocho… who had to take a flight by 10am but took the time to be there. The guy doesn’t cease to amaze me. From that, the other conferences kept going downhill… I was too drained and too sleepy and they were too repetitive and too boring. Finally, mass and the end of it all. Visited my doctor to get a prescription and gathered bread and juice for today. By 8pm left the mage at his home and went on to mine, to sign off by 9pm. Finally… Sleep… That was delightful.
Today, the day has gone slowly… Got a call from the guy that is doing things in my house, he’s almost finished with the doors and ceiling sealing stuff and was asking if I needed anything else done in cement. That has been the excitement of the morning… So… Tired, but not sleepy. Next weekend should be putting-up-Xmas-trees weekend… That should be fun.
Later kiddies…

News, news, news
Just a FYI, so no one gets lost… or stays behind!
ABOUT GROUNDEL:
At Michael’s home, kinda stranded in there for now… At least there is a big TV with a big comfy couch… That’s the life… LOL The home care company began their job yesterday. The head nurse went to give her evaluation and change the diapers… ermm… bandages from the foot. He’s gotta keep the leg raised, walk as little as possible. I FINALLY got to see the wound… It is closing up. I saw only muscles and cel tissue, no arteries or bone or icky stuff showing… Looks like apiece of raw ham… Cool. The nurse said that the doctor did a good job giving Groundel a clean, even cut… and that it is healing nicely. For those of you interested, the boy has a prepaid celphone, so you may call him at (787) 464-6840. He’s got long hours of boredom ahead during the weekdays, so any help on that matter is deeply appreciated. I took his papers to the university, and that is rolling. They told me that he has nothing to worry about, since he is a special case because of the sickness matter he will get a complete down status so he doesn’t have to pay anything this semester. Amen to that. Gotta see if either me or Lady Death get his papers to the Social Security so he gets financial help for his dissability. Also, gotta see if we can get the car permit for handicapped so whenever he is a passenger he gets the easy spots. A cousin of his is getting the transportation for the Hormigueros thing. So… Slowly, it is all coming together. He should go to Vocational Rehabilitation so he gets help with getting a prothesis, and so he gets financial aid if he wants to finish studying or something… they can do a lot if he lets them… if he actually gets interested in progressing.
ABOUT FRIENDS:
Coriolis seems busy this week… surrounded by stupidity as usual.
Raven called me the other day telling me about her dad and his obsession with the painting that I did for him… Gosh! From Father’s Day until now, and the guy keeps going on his awe for the thing… He’s got too much time on his hands… LOL The new thing about me giving it hidden messages or something is hilarious. Why would I do that when it was 3-4am and I was panting in uncontious mode? Was my subcontious speaking? Allegedly, there is a man hidden underneath and a woman… Go ahead and try your best to find them, if you are bored enough. Camuy Caverns: a.k.a. Place for Dead People? ;)
LadyDeath seems to be preparing so she comtinues studying in January. I hope so, and if that is the case GOOD, very very good. Do not waste time.
ABOUT THE MAGE:
Well, yesterday he missed work because he fall asleep. Is that the new syndrome in the western area? LOL Hopefully that will not have adverse effects. Everything else is as peachy as can be… Trying to find out details and who can make the Castlevania white suit… Thinking and dreaming and planning and putting together lots of stuff in his mind. Gotta love the elven candor… Tomorrow morning is the church Communion thing, and at night is the J&J party. Sunday starts early at 7:30am for the whole day closure workshop of the pre-mat courses… Zombiefyed mage on a dish… On the next Geraldo!
ABOUT ME:
At week’s end, amen. I need to rest, but I will whine another day. The weekend will be quite full… But hopefully is the last one that will be so hectic and rushed. Have not been able to put Xmas décor on my house or on auntie’s house… That will be next week’s job. I did put some décor at my office… a nice little Xmas tree on my desk, and candycanes and season’s mints on the door… It looks happy. I was not gonna do any decoration at work, but realized that after all God has been good to me so I better celebrate his birth. Yes, weird thought… Who knows… Maybe Xmas will get to be a happy celebration for me after so many years of mourning it… Plans for next year? Two important things… Marrying the mage is the most important, life changing event... due on the first half of the year. The second should be going back to college during August-October, either for a Master in Counseling, or in Industrial Psychology, or a Doctorate in Business. Nothing else beyond those two main stones… Like I need more… Well… Actually, I wouldn’t mind FINALLY going to the Horror Nights… But that is another story…
I feel things are falling in place, little by little. After the big storm came the big calm… and it is not the eye of the hurricane, but a calm that is marked by bliss and neverending peace. Who knew… I feel empowered and blessed. Nothing can stop me now… Well… All I need now is some time to SLEEP! Please? Just an hour? Some minutes? Anything? Hmm?

On the fast track
... Fasten your seatbelts! LOL
Another week that is simply going away as fast as it can… Yesterday the mage didn’t have work in the night, so when I came out of work he invited me for dinner. That was nice, feels as if we were playing an adult’s game or something… :P
We checked out the house and found out that the windows guy has actually been working there. The fence doors look good, the adaptation taking the old ones that were laying around was really well done. Only the screens and the screen doors from upstairs to actually complete that Phase1. Don’t know if he began the ceiling thing, but hope he will. Gotta ask him if he can also do the window edging and a hole for the A/C. Hopefully it all won’t get over $1,500.
Little by little tasks are being completed. And I simply love it when a plan comes together…
Today… Gotta attend a reunion at the conference room during the morning… And gotta ask for permission to go out in the afternoon so I go to the university to give them Groundel’s papers. Hopefully will actually be sleeping by 6pm… If there are no further disruptions in the Force…

Para variar un poco...
Solo un poco...
So... Last night was at a pharmacy during whee hours of the morning after visiting Groundel, delivering a small meal and then pickig up my doctor's pill order. What I slept was not enough, so waking up early was followed by being sick. So I guess that was an omen, o algo. As the day passed at least I found some time to actually share some minutes with the mage. Got a battery for his Blazer, food, my birth certificate and two other papers I needed to get.Later on got the good news that Groundel was getting out of the hospital (finally) and that he had the paperwork for his university... So, got the papers, got his prescriptions and delivered them to him, and then went home.
My plan was to sleep a while, but found that I was quite awake, so... Just browsed the net. LightShadow was the guest star on todays episode, and that was quite cool... It is always nice to share time with people that follow your thoughts wavelenght.
Not much else going on...

What dreams have been...
A reminisce of the past few days…
Saturday 18th SICKBAY 101 Spent the whole day hibernating in my bed… Could not stand the light. The mage passed by and took me to the pharmacy to get some meds for my allergy/cold thinguie… Went back to my bed as soon as I was in my homy ground.
Sunday 19th SICKBAY 102 More sleeping, more meds, more pain… Same old, same old. Not in the mood for people or for anything at all… Just laying in bed, in darkness… It was nice while it lasted. I guess that in reality it was a body-break… my body making me stop and simply rest and sleep it all out. So much for that… what I slept and rested on this weekend was more than drained by the week ahead…
Monday 20th Still in sick mode. I really have no idea of what happened this day… Sheesh! That codeine medicine really screws you up!
Tuesday 21th CAR BLUES and HAPPY FEET The day were my starter almost died and where the mage cracked up, o algo. The day began really early, as I had many things in my agenda… but when I got to my car to actually get off the house it wouldn’t start. After almost 15 minutes of troubleshooting the engine, it had mercy on my pitiful attempts and finally started up. Went to pick up the mage so he would tell me where I could find an electro-mechanic to solve my car’s problem… So, left the car in the middle of a city’s car place and walked the walk towards a hearty breakfast. It occurred to me that I actually had an eye doctor appointment so I went with the change of script and went to the eye doctor… Good news is my eyes are ok, less astigmatism than the usual and same nearsightedness… Went on to the bank, the mage performed some magic tricks and so back to the car place, where Ravy was happy after a new change… From there to pay the month’s loans and to take auntie to her bank and to grocery hunt. After arriving almost at night, lunch. The mage took me to see Happy Feet and yes, it is a happy movie indeed… Well, happy in matters of music, a bit moody about the being an outsider fact… which got to us in some ways… not so bad, mind you. So, the mage took me for a small trek through Joyuda finishing up in our house. After a while doing what we do best, talking and talking and talking, I remembered my cel was in silent mode. Realized that I had 10 missing calls from Groundel, so landed at the hospital at midnight with a healthy treat. The half-orc seemed to cheer up a bit…
Wednesday 22th IT WAS THE DAY BEFORE THANKSGIVING… And all through the house was madness… Ugh! Got up in time to get the special bandages for Groundel, find out where in blazes is the home where they are keeping my grandfather and visit him, and had lunch with the mage. Went to get some lights and check some prices, and got a salad for the half-orc. Visited Groundel in the afternoon, watched X-Files & Charmed and some comedies. At home, checked some auctions, waited for the mage to arrive… And soon it was past midnight. Since I got a small toy, a brand new iPod, that I kept on checking and tweaking it until 5am… yes, I was stressed because somehow I put it in German… nevermind THAT… so, yup, went to sleep at that time.
Thursday 23rd THANKSGIVING DAY The day that turkeys all over the world fear… Well, in my case, not only turkeys… By 8:00am there were noises in the house… I knew, my greatest fear, the worst nightmare… People visiting and staying for the whole freakin’ day… Mommy, her bf, my granny… enough people to put me in an insane bad mood. Went out of my bedroom by midday, as I needed breakfast. By 2pm I was out of the house. My plan was to go to see the mage, but since he warned me that he was playing I decided I was in a bad enough mood to get in rampage mode so instead took some turkey day goodies to Groundel. Stayed at the hospital the whole afternoon. One of Groundel’s friends passed by and made the evening funny-er. Got a call from the mage around dinner time, he had gone to get me at my house but I was not there and my family was still dwelling on it… Ugh! Well, the mage arrived at the hospital, we stayed a bit more then flew away to his house to have an actual Thanksgiving dinner. Raven made a phone apparition (wheeee!), and then we crashed. While watching The Break-Up, my father called to give his Thanksgiving greeting. It was nice hearing from him and from his wife. Hate the fact that he thinks that my dear family is so united and that I am the ne that doesn’t look for them… My dear sister doesn’t call me, and I simply got tired of more than 25 years of following & looking for other people’s asses. If they want to see me and share time with me, let them come. If someone doesn’t call me up or look for me, then that someone is very unimportant in my life.
Friday 24th BLACK FRIDAY The day of killing sprees and more… Went with the mage to his communion prep course, so the morning passed away fast. She gave him green light to go ahead and talk with the priest to get his First Communion. Met the Munchkin and her mom so the mage would fulfill his duty and spend some time with the kid by the way. He seemed surprised that the Oni and me actually were talking without trying to kill each other for a long time, while he played with Mandy. See? We can be civil… Sometimes… LOL From there we went to get some food and to check some house improvement stuff in Cabo Rojo. Went to get some yummy ice-cream and to our house so we delivered the few things we got. From there we rented two movies. Went to have dinner at my house, and there it was a What Not to Wear marathon… Oh, dear… So… We went to visit Groundel, kept watching WntW while torturing him… then to dwell in a pharmacy for while since I was in browsing mode and Coriolis called… He said he would be around my hometown on Saturday, so we kinda made plans for the day… Hmph… Finally, we went to the mage’s den and watched Last Holiday. Funny and lighthearted, loved it. Arrived home at 1am, and couldn’t go to sleep right away because my room was such a big mess… Cleaned up and by 4am finally went on to rest… in peace.
Saturday 25th EMPEROR’s CLOTHING DAY Woke up by midday because of the sound of my lovely cel. Coriolis stated he would be at the mall, eating breakfast. U-hum… Sure… Right. So… Dressed up, ate, went to get the mage… And Coriolis vanished from our lives… I’m still waiting for his returning my calls… Went with the mage to the mall, and did our long search for the right attire for his special event on Saturday night (company party). Of course, indulged ourselves with food and some clothing that was simply irresistible. After walking the walk, went on to get a coffee brake and then to church. By 9pm got a salad for the half-orc, and delivered the goodies at the hospital. Groundel was watching the Goonies so we watched until it finished. Finally arrived at the den to watch An American Haunting (yes, quite predictable… but it was ok in a way…). Went home, and this time I was actually sleeping by 2:30am… A big improvement in matters of catching z’s.
Sunday 26th COUPLE”S COUNSELING 106 FINISHED So… Woke up pretty early, before midday actually… to do the laundry. Got a call from Lady Death as a veterinary emergency counseling… Hope Egy gets better. Anyway, my grandmother called saying some people visited and were heading my auntie’s way. Ugh! I despise people that never go home and that suddenly get the urge to bother one… Family… Yeah, right… Groundel called, spoke some with him, but had to hang up to at least take a bath and get semi-decent. Not that I stopped doing the laundry… that task took me more than 4 hours… Yup, 3 weeks without doing that kinda catches up with you… The people arrived, I guess I made a bad first impression since I actually ignored them and kept working… Called up the mage to give him my day-so-far update… Then the girls decided they wanted to see the cats so I had to stop what I was dong and show my kids. After that the visit turned surprisingly delightful. The older girl has 6 cats, and keeps pics of them in her cel… So I am not so insane about keeping my 8 cats… LOL Cool. After some sharing of kitty anecdotes, it was time for them to leave. The girls mom had some sharing of her own about the cats and some fishes she has… in the meanwhile everyone was on the car about to leave her. Anyway, said our goodbyes and ta-da! Went to eat a yogurt since I was starting to shake… 5 hours since breakfast and no food or drink whatsoever does that evil trick to me. Waiting for dinner went to check auctions, took another bath and got dressed up. The mage arrived by 7pm to pick me up so we went to our final Sunday meeting with the old couple that is supposed to be teaching us how to succeed in marriage… as if that were something teachable… (sight) Anyway, the last meeting was faster than the others, and I took some pics for the scrapbook. Next week shall be the closure of the PreNup course… Yup, next Sunday it will be non-stop fun since 7:30 am to 5:00 pm… Longest, most annoying part is over and out. Amen. After that we went to get coffee and a sandwich, and felt like making it a movie night. Saw Casino Royale… which was surprisingly ok… Just ditch the idea of who James Bond is and let a Terminator do the tasks… Whatever. Was in the mood for action so didn’t care much about it being almost an anti-classic-Bond film… Prequel… Yeah, I guess… Marriage? A death sentence screamed loud and clear. Pretty long, went out after midnight… Got four missing calls from Groundel so that meant he was really hungry… Got him a salad, visited him and stayed until 1:30am. The mage delivered me home. I prepared a package that I must mail, and finally went into my bed by 3:00am. Lovely, huh?
Monday 27th UNCLE MACHETE’s B-DAY!!! So… Here I am, back at work… No biggies so far… Hope that I kinda made a nice record of past events… More to come. So far I cannot say I have been bored… And I am definitively living by the motto that I should tattoo in my back “I’ll sleep when I die”. Gotta get some wide masking tape for the package I must mail… Gotta deliver the movies… If Lady Death doesn’t find a lift then that adds up to the must do list when I get off work… Should deliver a salad to Groundel and most definitively will go to sleep as soon as I get home. I feel drained!!! Coriolis called, his crappy cel didn't get my calls or messages... Figures... Happenned other times... So, pissed at him mode is off. For now...
So… We are officially in Xmas… Things are looking good from my side of the mountain, and Neverland has turned into quite a busy place. I am pissed at some attitudes from people, but I guess that’s what friends are for… Nevermind that, you take the good and you take the bad… But the bad can STILL piss you off! The mage and I keep things sizzling, not a big effort, quite a delight. Still, we both get quite disappointed at our acquaintances, because somehow we put so much importance to them and we are just a casualty in their lives… It sucks. But that is life. And at least we have each other. And in the end, that is all that matters now. The rest is just icing of the cake. We are both grateful at all the blessings that have been bestowed on us, and we hope we can share with others the joy and happiness we’ve come to know.
December creeping on us... Wedding stuff to do... Stress shall begin with the new year, but big deal. We are both pretty involved in everything we do. Need to get some paperwork done. Need to conplete the house's main projects to make it a feasible place for a gathering. Hopefully that will be taken care of this week. Depending on how much the ceiling-fence thing cost then the cistern is next. Hope it all turns out good. Should get most papers during December... I'm wondering about the Confirmation but that is another story to be taken care of... Need to get the dispense from the local nearby church... Need to get the pre-nup agreement on January or February. And need to design the invitations and decide wether or not there will be an official reception... And whether or not we will travel somewhere. We both have a full schedule ahead. Lovely. Busy. Just as I like it.
Make your own ending… True story.

Got a call from the mage around dinner time, he had gone to get me at my house but I was not there and my family was still dwelling on it… Ugh! Well, the mage arrived at the hospital, we stayed a bit more then flew away to his house to have an actual Thanksgiving dinner. Raven made a phone apparition (wheeee!), and then we crashed. While watching The Break-Up, my father called to give his Thanksgiving greeting. It was nice hearing from him and from his wife. Hate the fact that he thinks that my dear family is so united and that I am the ne that doesn’t look for them… My dear sister doesn’t call me, and I simply got tired of more than 25 years of following & looking for other people’s asses. If they want to see me and share time with me, let them come. If someone doesn’t call me up or look for me, then that someone is very unimportant in my life.
Friday 24th BLACK FRIDAY The day of killing sprees and more… Went with the mage to his communion prep course, so the morning passed away fast. She gave him green light to go ahead and talk with the priest to get his First Communion. Met the Munchkin and her mom so the mage would fulfill his duty and spend some time with the kid by the way. He seemed surprised that the Oni and me actually were talking without trying to kill each other for a long time, while he played with Mandy. See? We can be civil… Sometimes… LOL From there we went to get some food and to check some house improvement stuff in Cabo Rojo. Went to get some yummy ice-cream and to our house so we delivered the few things we got. From there we rented two movies. Went to have dinner at my house, and there it was a What Not to Wear marathon… Oh, dear… So… We went to visit Groundel, kept watching WntW while torturing him… then to dwell in a pharmacy for while since I was in browsing mode and Coriolis called… He said he would be around my hometown on Saturday, so we kinda made plans for the day… Hmph… Finally, we went to the mage’s den and watched Last Holiday. Funny and lighthearted, loved it. Arrived home at 1am, and couldn’t go to sleep right away because my room was such a big mess… Cleaned up and by 4am finally went on to rest… in peace.
Saturday 25th EMPEROR’s CLOTHING DAY Woke up by midday because of the sound of my lovely cel. Coriolis stated he would be at the mall, eating breakfast. U-hum… Sure… Right. So… Dressed up, ate, went to get the mage… And Coriolis vanished from our lives… I’m still waiting for his returning my calls… Went with the mage to the mall, and did our long search for the right attire for his special event on Saturday night (company party). Of course, indulged ourselves with food and some clothing that was simply irresistible. After walking the walk, went on to get a coffee brake and then to church. By 9pm got a salad for the half-orc, and delivered the goodies at the hospital. Groundel was watching the Goonies so we watched until it finished. Finally arrived at the den to watch An American Haunting (yes, quite predictable… but it was ok in a way…). Went home, and this time I was actually sleeping by 2:30am… A big improvement in matters of catching z’s.
Sunday 26th COUPLE”S COUNSELING 106 FINISHED So… Woke up pretty early, before midday actually… to do the laundry. Got a call from Lady Death as a veterinary emergency counseling… Hope Egy gets better. Anyway, my grandmother called saying some people visited and were heading my auntie’s way. Ugh! I despise people that never go home and that suddenly get the urge to bother one… Family… Yeah, right… Groundel called, spoke some with him, but had to hang up to at least take a bath and get semi-decent. Not that I stopped doing the laundry… that task took me more than 4 hours… Yup, 3 weeks without doing that kinda catches up with you… The people arrived, I guess I made a bad first impression since I actually ignored them and kept working… Called up the mage to give him my day-so-far update… Then the girls decided they wanted to see the cats so I had to stop what I was dong and show my kids. After that the visit turned surprisingly delightful. The older girl has 6 cats, and keeps pics of them in her cel… So I am not so insane about keeping my 8 cats… LOL Cool. After some sharing of kitty anecdotes, it was time for them to leave. The girls mom had some sharing of her own about the cats and some fishes she has… in the meanwhile everyone was on the car about to leave her. Anyway, said our goodbyes and ta-da! Went to eat a yogurt since I was starting to shake… 5 hours since breakfast and no food or drink whatsoever does that evil trick to me. Waiting for dinner went to check auctions, took another bath and got dressed up. The mage arrived by 7pm to pick me up so we went to our final Sunday meeting with the old couple that is supposed to be teaching us how to succeed in marriage… as if that were something teachable… (sight) Anyway, the last meeting was faster than the others, and I took some pics for the scrapbook. Next week shall be the closure of the PreNup course… Yup, next Sunday it will be non-stop fun since 7:30 am to 5:00 pm… Longest, most annoying part is over and out. Amen. After that we went to get coffee and a sandwich, and felt like making it a movie night. Saw Casino Royale… which was surprisingly ok… Just ditch the idea of who James Bond is and let a Terminator do the tasks… Whatever. Was in the mood for action so didn’t care much about it being almost an anti-classic-Bond film… Prequel… Yeah, I guess… Marriage? A death sentence screamed loud and clear. Pretty long, went out after midnight… Got four missing calls from Groundel so that meant he was really hungry… Got him a salad, visited him and stayed until 1:30am. The mage delivered me home. I prepared a package that I must mail, and finally went into my bed by 3:00am. Lovely, huh?
Monday 27th UNCLE MACHETE’s B-DAY!!! So… Here I am, back at work… No biggies so far… Hope that I kinda made a nice record of past events… More to come. So far I cannot say I have been bored… And I am definitively living by the motto that I should tattoo in my back “I’ll sleep when I die”. Gotta get some wide masking tape for the package I must mail… Gotta deliver the movies… If Lady Death doesn’t find a lift then that adds up to the must do list when I get off work… Should deliver a salad to Groundel and most definitively will go to sleep as soon as I get home. I feel drained!!! Coriolis called, his crappy cel didn't get my calls or messages... Figures... Happenned other times... So, pissed at him mode is off. For now...
So… We are officially in Xmas… Things are looking good from my side of the mountain, and Neverland has turned into quite a busy place. I am pissed at some attitudes from people, but I guess that’s what friends are for… Nevermind that, you take the good and you take the bad… But the bad can STILL piss you off! The mage and I keep things sizzling, not a big effort, quite a delight. Still, we both get quite disappointed at our acquaintances, because somehow we put so much importance to them and we are just a casualty in their lives… It sucks. But that is life. And at least we have each other. And in the end, that is all that matters now. The rest is just icing of the cake. We are both grateful at all the blessings that have been bestowed on us, and we hope we can share with others the joy and happiness we’ve come to know.
December creeping on us... Wedding stuff to do... Stress shall begin with the new year, but big deal. We are both pretty involved in everything we do. Need to get some paperwork done. Need to conplete the house's main projects to make it a feasible place for a gathering. Hopefully that will be taken care of this week. Depending on how much the ceiling-fence thing cost then the cistern is next. Hope it all turns out good. Should get most papers during December... I'm wondering about the Confirmation but that is another story to be taken care of... Need to get the dispense from the local nearby church... Need to get the pre-nup agreement on January or February. And need to design the invitations and decide wether or not there will be an official reception... And whether or not we will travel somewhere. We both have a full schedule ahead. Lovely. Busy. Just as I like it.
Make your own ending… True story.

Sick
... para variar...
Sore throat, freezing to death, runny nose, right ear bothering me, body pain… I guess I have the flu… Guessing… Ugh! Of course… I’ll have a whole week as freebie from work and so I must get sick. It is destiny. It is also my body saying “I need rest DAMNIT”. It’s been more than 3 months since my last cold, so I guess it’s not so bad… I wanted to stay home, I feel beyond lousy and tired and drained… My eyes hurt and my head is spinning so I’m fading fast… No tiki gods around…
Got an ipod, so one wish came true. Not too much into techie stuff, but plenty into music stuff. I need music to do everything, so I’m starting small… Let’s see if I get addicted to it.
Finally received the box of 500+ pictures that I sent to Canada for developing almost 6 months ago… It was a heavy box. Guess I’ll have plenty for scrapbooking therapy…
At midday should be the pavo celebration… Yay, free food! I wish people would actually use the moment to thank God for everything good and bad, but I know most are in just for the joda and drinks… Whatever…
The mage should meet Heroina for his 3rd installment of the holy kind… I wonder how many classes he needs to take. I wonder if he’s actually getting the prayers… LOL Priests and mages don’t mix too well… But you gotta admit that a cleric/mage is the best character you can make… Well, it’s my favorite class combination, so yes, the DM is very biased… :P
TGIF… Groundel may get the news that he can go home… He spoke with Michael and should be getting shelter at Michael’s place until his mother’s leg is cured and there is no risk of bacteria. Or until he gets the skin wrap and it heals. Or until he decides to get into a plane. Whatever comes first.
Nothing of further interest… Wanna see Happy Feet, maybe tomorrow if my sickness doesn’t eat me up... I shall DO something in my Thanksgiving week, even if it’s the last thing I do… THE LAST THING I DO! (Y la aldea sigue ahí)

Ooh, ooh, ooh,
People are talkin', talkin' 'bout people,
I hear them whisper, you won't believe it.
They think we're lovers kept under cover,
I just ignore it but they keep sayin' we...
Laugh just a little too loud,
Stand just a little too close,
We stare just a little too long.
Maybe they're seein', somethin' we don't darlin'.
Let's give 'em somethin' to talk about
(Somethin' to talk about)
Let's give 'em somethin' to talk about
(Somethin' to talk about)
Let's give 'em somethin' to talk about
How about love?
I feel so foolish, I never noticed
You act so nervous, could you be fallin' for me?
It took the rumor to make me wonder,
Now I'm convinced that I'm goin' under.
Thinkin' 'bout you every day,
Dreamin' 'bout you every night.
I'm hopin' that you feel the same way,
Now that we know it, let's really show it darlin'.
Let's give 'em somethin' to talk about
(Somethin' to talk about)
A little mystery to figure out
(Somethin' to talk about)
Let's give 'em somethin' to talk about
How about love?
Let's give 'em somethin' to talk about babe,
A little mystery to figure out.
Let's give 'em somethin' to talk about,
How about love? Ooh...
Listen to 'em baby
(Somethin' to talk about)
A little mystery won't hurt 'em
(Somethin' to talk about)
Let's give 'em somethin' to talk
How about our love, love, love, love
Whoowhoo mmmm hey oohh whoowhoo
About love, love, love, love
How about they talk about it? uh huh
Talk about love...

Wishlist
for the old red and white bearded guy...
Wednesday: At my office. My diet-milleage was returned to me because of many errors (how strange) and more reports that must be filed (and created and given birth to… Ugh!), so spent the whole afternoon on that endeavour… Went to get my monthly groceries so I stop the fast-food addiction at least until Xmas… Not healthy and getting expensive-r by the second… The tax monster finally landed on Neverland and every little human is very afraid… Was too beat to get to the hospital, but did talked to Groundel on the phone for almost an hour before catching serious Z’s… The mage teleported home and so we saluted the new day. Back to Morpheus lands…
Thursday: Today I arrived in time to be a hero and make a PC work… just a change of battery… Wheeeee, o algo. Ermm… Figuring out new reports and trying to keep mself from falling asleep on the kb…
Just made a wishlist of sorts, thinking why not… Maybe I’ll get lucky playing the lotto… What I wish Santa would deliver this Xmas?
• a black 4gb ipod with the car thinguie and the stereo speaker thinguie
• a cistern for the house
• a nice orthopedic queen bed
• corsets, corsets and more corsets
• boots, boots and more boots
• Corpse Bride thinguies
• Emily Strange thinguies with cats depictions
• Egyptian or Hindu items for the house
• Movie posters from the old monsters classics (Dracula, Frankie, Creature Black Lagoon)
• Neon stuff
• Glow in the Dark stuff
• Jem & the Holograms memorabilia
• Catwalk Kitties dolls (yes, I collect them SO WHAT?)
• Thundercats DVD collection
• Season 1 & 2 of Carnivale on DVD
• Captain Herlock original TV series on DVD
• Hellraiser DVD 6-movies collection
• Xena: Warrior Princess season 1&2 on DVD
• Hercules: Legendary Journeys Seasons 1-6 on DVD
• Peace and love to humankind…
So, after dwelling on wishes and taxes, must return to the real world. Groundel needs to meet a social worker so he gets some answers for some problems, but that is on the go… The doctor should get the results from the bone scan between today and tomorrow. Will he stay another week at the hotel…erm… hospital? It’s been 16 days, and seems longer… So far, so good. He is bearing with things… Even got a date with a nurse… :P
My people: Coriolis seems happy enough. Raven has been making calls and getting stuff done for Groundel. She is still wondering if she will go or not to the land of uncle Sam… I think it is the best choice to improve the boy’s situation, even the guy from the conference told me so. LadyDeath painting and playing nurse for Iggy, la gatita cagona, who was sterilized a week ago. No word from NoName and Gaby. Kara’s baby growing by the minute and looking happy. Zordak will play social butterfly on Saturday, and keeps on being his lovely self.
Me: Waiting for the counselor’s thinguie. Need to know if I will get into the program, if not then I will simply fill the papers to begin the PhD, period. One or the other… But whatever I gotta do, the moment is now… Job sucking as usual, but not so bad… trying to be a bit positive about it all. Been told about an activity for a children’s orphanage in Xmas… don’t know if I will get into it, depends on my mood after Thanksgiving. Everything else in life seems and feel a bit ethereal… hate waiting for people to do their thing… But, whatever. Will try priming & painting the house next week, at least on the outside. And will try making the inside a bit shapelier. Feeling a bit melancholic, but balancing it out with high doses of hope and happiness thanks to the local caster of spells.
