Random thought: kind of bummed today.

I haven't done anything except for go to work and come home. I did go buy some beer. But I like that part of it. My house is my favorite place to be and not having a bunch of people stopping by is even better. I've had no company so far.

And I love how clean this place stays with just me here. My wife used to give me a hard time saying how much I would live in squalor if it wasn't for her. I had to remind her that I am not usually the one who makes messes around here and when I was single I had a maid who came twice a week to basically clean that same shit that was still clean because she just cleaned a few days ago. The house was immaculate.

 

That would suck a lot more than just a week or so. Any chance of her going with you?

 

Nah, she needs the chance to say good-bye to her family and we are having visa issues.

She'll hopefully be joining me at the end of July, if not then in mid-August in Abu Dhabi.

 

At least it's only a few weeks. I misread that earlier and thought it was for a whole semester. That would be much worse. But I still feel ya though.

 

Wizard does have a companion....and such a cute little thing at that.....

 

She's still all over me. She misses her mama. It seems like she doesn't know where everyone is and she obviously doesn't. She's not used to this.

 

and maybe you are not, either......

It is tough sometimes living with animals. I just watched the beginning of a program, as I could not stomach anymore of it, on an animal hoarder....uncountable number of dogs and cats.....all in terrible conditions.....hot, mangy, in crates, cages.....cats losing their eyes and dieing from the roach poison the woman put out to kill them, as her shack was infested with the roaches...OMG....so sad for all of those dogs and cats....

 

It's kind of sad for the person too because that person never started out that way. Something happened in their life at some point. I actually should have been a doctor by now (psychiatrist) and this sort of topic fascinates me. But it's really sad.

 

Yeah, I know....was sad for her, too, but the animals were all really suffering at the hands of their not choosing, which is even sadder, somehow to me......People always have the choice to get help or not....animals are just prisoners of whatever lot in life they are handed......
You would have made a good psychiatrist....you have a calming way, anway....

 

Thank you.

 

Thank you.

 

Well, at least this show....The Hoarders are known cases, and in the end of them....the person does get help, and she was issued a warning in the beginning to give all of the animals up cooperatively or they were going to just go in there and take them.....so, that would be good for all of them, she included.........but there are so many other people and situations like that that are not known, unfortuneately.....

 

I would replace the beer with weed but to each their own :cheers2:

 

In conversation,I avoid cliches like the plague....

 

OMG. I DARE you to ....spill some cereal or something on the counter and leave it there...at least until right before you have to get your family.

LIVE MAN...LIVE.

...maybe you can invite some friends over for poker night.

 

I did leave the cutting board and knife on the counter from dinner and my guitar rig is still set up in the living room.

I'm not really one of those neat-freak people though (I don't think so anyway). But I like things kind of clean because it's just less stuff that has to be done later. But when I was single the place was so spotless mostly because of the maid. She cleaned practically every floor and surface, including the bottom of the toilet and bathroom sink, twice a week. Dirty dishes while she was there? Done. The place was impressive considering it was me and two young sons and we didn't make much of a mess.

But one very cool thing about that place was that my sons were always drawing pictures and wanting to hang them on the wall in the larger room that you enter through the front door. There were so many pictures that they started piling up so we hung them up....all of them. And when they made more, we hung more...until the entire area was just pictures from the floor to the ceiling. It was like their own wallpaper.

 

Pretty down myself today. Had to rush to work which really didn't give me any time to say goodbye to my boy who is probably on a plane now back to his overseas work for a month. It almost feels like I've forgotten something, I just feel lost, alone and sad.

 

Sorry to hear that. A month is a long time.



As for me, by this time tomorrow I should be in SF! Going to catch the fireworks there before heading down to Carmel for a few days. This week has gone by pretty quickly. I still feel like I have a lot to do before I leave and.....I'm posting on HF instead.
