All Lies?

So... it is Saturday. Brother called? Can you guess? YES! You are smart! He had to verk. He said cops called to say 'bus is leaking diesel'. Fun!

That is OK. I really wasn't in the mood to have him over anyway. He is going out of town (guess?) to a baseball game probably with RL. That will be good for RL! It has been cloudy today. No threat of rain though. Too bad.

I did some painting. There was caulking that I did ages ago to fix stucco cracks around windows and things and I painted that over finally. I have gotten less afraid of doing things since it has been necessary to do these things. I made a chocolate milk breakfast drink around noon and saw neighbor was wandering over so I met him outside. He apologized for not calling back last night. He didn't get message. That was OK. I figured he was busy with wife and he was.

Radio is boring? They are talking about spanking. The more you spank, the less fear child has over spanking. That makes sense. I am not sure if I got spanked. I don't remember? Father was brutish! Huge and strong? Would probably snap me in two? :D Now I am bored. It is just after 3pm. I also did more finish work on moulding with wood putty. I am almost out though! Neighbor thinks wallboard taping is going OK? He told me don't be afraid to use lots! He has seen that I am afraid of wasting product! :D

Between Grandmother saying, "if you break it I'm not buying you another one" and Father obsessing over not wasting food is it a surprise? Brother still says he is having problem with that. If there is leftovers he will eat them. If the kids leave food, he will eat that too. Eat, eat, eat. He has gained weight. Maybe he has gained the weight I have lost? :D Also everyone is packrat? I have sewing materials older than I am from Grandmother? Neighbor throws things out at end of projects so it doesn't collect. I always keep "just in case" and end up drowning in stuff! My keeping things have not been bad because am still doing work on house and kept things have come in handy. Even when I saw moulding I keep all cut off pieces until done with moulding install completely. And I keep pieces and label them so there is record in case I need to buy more. I have bits of carpet, paint chips and flooring too. It is important to keep records of materials used.

Neighbor was trying to talk me out of doing expensive things like removing the acoustic texture (popcorn / cottage cheese) from the ceiling. Maybe he wants to get rid of me quicker? :D

Mail is here. I wonder if there is good mail today or just junk for election? It was mostly junk and one bill. Meh.

Small update because Duckie never reads the blog anymore. Ha! Went next door. Saw cooking show (it made me wish I had someone to cook for) and "Most Wanted" too. And some news. Neighbors seemed tired. Neighbor's wife said she liked me and asked again when Mother is coming home. I think she's just glad to have the added company. On Sunday neighbor said she had refused to get up and it was almost 4pm. Sad! I did random things in the house. Sanding, other finish work type things. I stayed up until 5am because I wasn't tired? Cat is angry because I didn't let her sleep in bedroom. :/ The rest of the day was blur. I took a walk. Thought about Mother. Put flag out for holiday weekend. Will put it out again Monday which is official day of observance. Now Duckie is online so I should talk to him!
