I want to write a big long post with lots of stuff in it. But, my hands really hurt right now. So instead you get a bulleted list with compact information.
-Got new cat, is 9 months old. Short haired grey tabby male, still thinks he is a kitten. Named him Sagan. Ender is making good progress towards accepting Sagan into the home. They played with each other this morning (chasing game) but Ender still won't let Sagan nuzzle on him. Took Sagan to vet, paid lots and lots of money.
-Bought a hammock from hammocks.com. Been wanting a hammock since I was 8. Paid cheapo money, good value! Love new hammock. Want to stay in it all the time. Is blue.
-Finally cleaned up 30 gallon aquarium and got filter and stand for it. Only one guppy left alive to go in it, Edgar the guppy. Edgar was going to die but now seems happy and healthy in new big aquarium. No more fish at work, just Edgar at home now. If Edgar lives another week, will reward him with some females to impregnate.
-Michael and I managed to avoid our old routine and are keeping in touch, he's coming to visit next weekend, yay! Might go on trip later this summer.
-I fired the roofer. He sucks. New roofer is coming tomorrow to look at it. New roofer is scared and doesn't want to take the job based on what I told him. Yesterday I took my jigsaw and cut a hole in the ceiling in the room that has the leak. Good: leak has not destroyed any of the wood in the ceiling, and only a small amount of mold has grown. Bad: Leak coming from place that is impossible to trace and doesn't give any clues to help roofer. (maybe it will? High hopes for tomorrow). Rained a lot last night, excellent timing for me to gather information on the leak.
-House is least energy-efficient house in the world. Am paying Home Depot to come put in new windows- old windows are in really bad shape and all single-paned. Will use up all my savings. Will be living like a broke bum for many months. Excited about new windows, and having a house that isn't the exact same temperature as outside. Am thanking any supernatural forces that might exist for our mild, cool spring.
-Went to see Hayley (Cory's little sister) in her lead role in her last play last night. Have watched a lot of Hayleys plays, she has really developed and is extremely talented. Was a little surreal to see her as lead role, with most of the songs and dialogue. Had dinner with Cory, was nice.
-Hands: hurt very bad. Sucks. Have been hurting ever since my drive to Austin, and am nervous about my next trip to Austin for Julie's birthday. If hands are better by then, will that trip destroy them again?
-Today: must insulate AC pipes with foam from Home Depot. Must also do laundry, vacuum, dust, mop kitchen, and clean up huge mess created by making hole in ceiling. Might make hole bigger and put in a proper bracing around it with a 2x4 i picked up, and then go buy wood trim and a panel to make it a proper attic access. That's last though. Might just leave it as hole until tomorrow depending.
