Been sick, been tired, been hiding and other Confessions
When I get sick I am a pretty big baby combine that with seasonal allergies and night time barfing and things have been fantastic!
Boooo last Friday I had to cancel therapy re: being sick, no girl time re: being sick and I had only been looking forward to that for WEEKS! Adam is sick as well so we’ve been passing this shit back and forth and at first I wasn’t snotty I just felt EXTRA balloon migraine head with MILD head cold, NOW I’m getting full head cold and snotty. YAY! I’ve been having really awesome night sweats as well and I haven’t been forgetting to take my crazy people tits and so therefore I can not pin point a reason other than being SICK.
In other news, The Greeper has a new place that she likes to sleep. Pretty exciting shit eh? I know, I thought so too until it turned out she’s serious and has taken over half the spot I sleep in. She has of course had other phases, other places she goes back to. The fashion box, the tent, I’m sure she will get bored of sleeping right below BUT almost ON my pillow soon.
Our camera is not back from being fixed yet so we had to buy a back up one. We couldn’t delay the monkeys any more due to lack of photos, but at the same time we HAVE to be able to take photos of our product. This issue of course led us into a discussion of other things that could happen to slow us down, when we are just about done with a lot of the start up necessities and can now work on picking up our production pace. I mentioned that there would come a time that we’d make a monkey, look at it, hate it or it would not meet our quality standards and we’d have to start over. Really, did I say that out loud? Because it happened the monkey after I said it! YAY! We have informed the buyer, I figure honesty is best, there is only two of us and both of us had a hand in it sucking so we’ve had to start over. Now we have a physically challenged monkey in our apartment, at least Dr. Vegas finally has a monkey that isn’t going anywhere to play with mostly because it is blind and can’t speak. Once that red thread goes on for the mouth the suckers don’t shut up. Banana this, poo in your face that.
My Dad is supposed to be dropping two boxes of stuff off to Adam and I on Saturday, some of my stuff, some stuff they are giving us, some stuff that has been in the family forever that I am taking because I’m the last member of our family and I don’t want it leaving the family till I die I guess. Small problem though, my Dad and I got into one of our infamous fights today. Oh how I love them. Always in regards to the exact same issue(s) hidden by topics seemingly cloaked in difference that spread years, weeks, months some just days - we some how manage to piss each other off regularly even when not in big fights. My mom is going to be all upset now and that’ll be my entire fault too, I’m sure. Super awesome, we both resort to behavior befitting that of two year olds and just generally spin in circles for a while. Fun times. We have worked hard on things as a family but my Dad and I, man we’ll just always scrap, sadly that is just how we are, we can’t seem to communicate in any sort of healthy way. Wonder how many more phases this move to Bali holds in store for us.
Just finished my fifth book of the year leaving me three behind my minimum quota for 2008, I will get off my ass and post on them soon. This year has been good so far aside from The Time Travelers Wife. EWWWW.

I’m happy to hear that there is a place for physically challenged monkeys. Now hopefully Dr Vegas doesn’t make cracks about said monkey having to hop the ’special’ short yellow bus to go to school. That shit can be traumatizing to the best of them.

I don’t know what to say re: fights with Dad, but honestly, I also do get into fights with my Dad, every so often. But he knows I love him. I think it’s just a matter of personalities. Here’s hoping everything gets resolved quickly. Hugs and love, R.

Cats always find the best places to sleep, and they always seem to have the knack of staring until you move things round for them.

Gus certainly doesn’t look photogenic in that last photo. I bet she did your camera in! Maybe she didn’t anticipate you running out and getting another one! Poor Gus!

hee. poo in your face.
Sorry about the scrap - talk soon.

Feel better soon…I think I may have caught whatever you have too…ugh…no fun at all.
My kitty always slept in the warm spot.
I have a similar…not always getting along thing…going on with my mother…yeah…so much fun.

barfing doesn’t sound too great. i’m so sorry to hear you don’t feel well, but gus looks so pretty in her hideouts.

oh, just remembering how my dad and I used to fight. huge battles of wills over the phone or in person. at some point we or one of us (i think it was me) just stopped pulling on the rope. then the fight was over. then i realised that that might have been ALL the relationship we actually had. one wonders if that’s why we kept doing it. we are reasonably friendly now, and those battles never happen anymore.

The Greeper is living large IC. Take care of those allergies and don’t forget to post a Flickr pic of good ol’ phlegm. If you have to suffer, mind as well have a little fun with it.
Cheers
