So settling into my new home existence hasn’t been a completely terrible experience. Kyle is rarely home and we see Nilsa only on weekends so the week days move along as they had when Danny and I lived alone or with our other roommates.

We made an agreement this past weekend to offer his mother money for food if she promised to cook throughout ( Read more... )

Friday, August 27th, we both had off from work. The plan was to wake sometime around 10am and head to the city for the Aquarium. It was after noon by the time we all got up. I urged everyone up and out of the door so that we’d have time for the Georgia Aquarium and the World of Coca Cola which were being sold as dual tickets for the ( Read more... )

There’s a blurry, frustrated line drawn between meager assistance and compensation for a complete lack of understanding or a bold stance in laziness. Beyond all of the mountain climbing and household disruption and beluga watching and 80s madness and fierce struggling of the past week and a half lies a frustrated and pissed off person ( Read more... )

I didn’t realize to the extent of how much he dreaded the idea of his mother moving in. I mean really, he said he felt okay with it after her visit Sunday.

I’m irritated that my ( Read more... )

The certain necessities were glaring out before the skeleton crew: multi-coloured party cups, a generous bottle of Don Q, a variety of vodka bottles and a case of Bud Light. The house was sparkling it was so clean. It didn't matter anyway ( Read more... )

 

So I was scolded by the lawnman Sunday when I called to schedule a yard cleanup. Long...dramatic..pause "yeah, ah, man you guys really let it get too out of hand. It's too much work. I'd even work with you to have it mowed every three weeks."  Admittedly, we did let it get a bit out of hand, but he didn't have to make it seem as though I own an ( Read more... )

So this week has been quite an upheaval as far as office drama and issues go. It appears that Saia has agreed to renew their contract with the office space here in John’s Creek, GA thru 2018. A little fact that was revealed a few weeks to a few months ago. (All the days and hours bleed together when you’re doing the same boring work.) A part of the ( Read more... )
