Orange Clove Head: Yawn

I have not been blogging lately. Too much going on:

Playing Plants vs. Zombies on my iPad.
House ripped up for water damage repair. Cats carted off to Mark’s.

Year end performance evaluations for the old world monsters that work for me.

It’s all done now. Maybe I can relax. Or maybe not. I am $15,000 greater in debt. This just never ends. Roxanne is moving in for a while so I will get some help paying bills. I have to do a deep clean on my house and move out 9 years or accumulated crap so she has room to move around. That will be my Christmas vacation, cleaning.

I put a cat door put into my bedroom so that kittens can come and go but Roxanne and I won’t be able to hear each other snoring. The kittens are dubious. They can’t jump through windows to get outside so why should they be able to jump through a window in a door to get into my bedroom. Seems logical to me.

I am writing this as I eat lunch. I see the developer who sits across from me is browsing on the web. He is on Mosque-Finder.com. That is pretty hilarious.

So I took a vacation day yesterday so I could be there while these Russian guys installed new carpet in my house. Midday I had a phone interview with The Foundation. I would be looking at a likely big pay cut due to the non-profit status. Why pay me $10,000 more that money could go to feeding starving kids. Hard to argue with that. I had thought I would give my right arm to work there, but now the thought of a $10k pay cut with all this new debt makes me take a step back. Well, it’s not like I have an offer and I have to decide. Hopefully more interviews to come in January.

I gave the Russians who put the carpet in a nice little Christmas tip for getting done so fast. I also have the Mexicans who painted my house a big Christmas tip for getting done a day early and working on the weekend. I need to stop embracing diversity before I go broke.

I really have nothing else to write about. My ankle hurts and I am going to the doctor tomorrow. Yawn.

Oh I know, here are some exciting photos:

Here is my newly painted wall!
