DAY 12 - Forgotten Journals

Saturday, May 3rd, 2008

Okay, so here's the point where I guess I got really lazy, and I stopped writing in my journal. I guess nothing TOO exciting was going on, so I forgot to keep writing down my experiences.

Hmmm, let's try to remember what happened today...



Okay, I think I remember something. I got approached by Jessica's roommate, Jude, about a possible project she wanted done in her side-yard. She wanted a huge cat house built for her 5 cats that she has, so they can walk around outside without wandering toof ar away and getting eaten by coyotes.

So, I decided to go for it.

I came up with some plans, and then headed for the hardware store where I got the first round of supplies. I cemented two of the three posts that day. It was almost dinner-time, and tonight I was cooking dinner (Thai food) for everyone, and that included my sister's new boyfriend, Derek. I was going to meet him for the first time today. He was pretty nervous about meeting me I think, because he knew that my opinion went straight to Mother. Derek actually helped me with the concrete mixing, because I was screwing it up big time. I put way to many bags of cement in, and not enough water, so we had a huge batter problem, which required the strength of two men. Derek and I got really tired towards the end of the cement mixing, it was a lot of freaking cement. I think it was 3-4 bags, which is way too much to mix at one time. But, we got it done, and were moving on to dinner.
Mmmmm, it tasted so good. Jude is a vegetarian, and I forgot to save some sauce for her dish, so I ran to the store and got some more coconut milk. We all sat down outside, and everyone loved the food. I was happy. I love cooking that dish for people.

Derek's a nice guy, very easy to get along with. He's the president of a motorcycle club, and I met some of his members, some of them look very scary when they're tricked out in all their gear. I'm glad Jessica has found someone that cares for her sincerely, that's what she needs. If Jessica's happy, then I am happy for her. I like his goatee ponytail thing.
