On Saturday, I went with Maik, Michelle, and Sam to the Global Wildlife Center. We rode a wagon and feed deer, llamas, antelopes, alpacas, and rhea birds. It was fun.

On Sunday, I hung out with Sam. We did the usual: Subway, Magic, Tennis, Quiznos, then home. Lou stopped by for a while. It was good to see him again as I hadn't seen him in a couple months.

On Monday, I went to therapy, and it went great. The rest of the day, I rode the street car, went to City Park, talked to mom on the phone for an hour and a half, hung out with Amadeo at his apartment, went to Dollar General, and then rode the bus home.

Today, I worked from 11:00 to 5:30, with an hour for lunch at Taco Bell. It was good. We cut and laid tile in the bathroom. That took all day. We also scraped out the mortar from the grout. I got more minutes on my phone today, too.

I got home and ate macaroni, croissant, steamed vegetables, and hot dogs. I gave my chicken away because I didn't want it. I am chatting with Dyanis right now. I will shower and go to bed after. I meet with Lavondra tomorrow and then work after.

I operated the saw to cut some pieces of tile.

Amadeo laid out the tile pieces first, before putting them in permanently.

Amadeo took a picture of me taking a piss in the back yard, haha!

This is how far we got today. Amadeo put the mortar down and a few tiles. They should be dry by tomorrow.

Yesterday, Sam picked me up at 11:00am and we went to Subway. I cleaned his apartment, made $30, and then we played tennis for 2 hours. After that, we worked on Magic decks and Dyanis called me. We went to Quizno's before he took me home at 6:00.

Today, I went to therapy. It went great, and we talked more about family issues. It's amazing how things that happened when you were little still affect you to the present day. It's like mom said "ripples in a pond".

Since the day was young and I had a day pass, I spent the day riding all the street cars in New Orleans. It was quite fun. I rode the Canal, Riverfront, and St. Charles street cars.

Earlier, I did research on street cars and found out the difference between them and the San Francisco "trolleys" or cable cars. The difference is street cars have their own electric motors and run off of overhead power lines for power. Cable cars run off of an underground system of cables run from a factory type building. The speed is fixed at 9mph and they require a man to operate this pliers-like grip that attaches and detaches from the underground cable to go and stop respectively. So although they are both cars made for public transportation, their inner mechanics are totally different. Very interesting! We are lucky here in New Orleans, because I think street cars are so much cooler!

Anyway, I went shopping at Dollar General, then took the bus home. When I got there, I laid down for a while and we had spaghetti for supper. Of course, I had two servings because I love it so much! =P Now, I am chatting with Dyanis. Later, I will take a shower and go to bed. I have work tomorrow. Until next time...

Today, I got up, ate breakfast, showered, then played Mtg with Sam. I got to Chat with Dyanis last night and this morning, which went well. We later went to Quiznos and then home. I unpacked, tidied up a little bit, and now I walked to post this blog. Not much going on today. Maybe Lou will come over to play mtg or something. Today will be a relaxed day, as Sundays should be.

At work today, we removed a bathtub, swept, moved lumber, broke up concrete, and dug up pipes. All of these tasks were very hard, but we eventually got them done. I feel accomplished and today is a great day! :D

Later, Sam picked me up and we ate Quiznos. I cleaned Sam's apartment and he was very happy with how I did. We used 3 different cleaners on the toilet. It didn't get all the stains, but it was better than before. I faced my fear of using the toilet gel and I feel accomplished for that too! I know Amadeo would be proud. It wasn't that bad and did not require gloves because it was not corrosive. I also helped him organize his outdoor closet. He was relieved because he is going to have to move the stuff in it soon due to apartment renovations.

I am staying the night and we are going to play Mtg in a few minutes.

I worked today. I removed nails, dug underneath a pipe, and put up tar paper. I ended up working until 6:20. I went home, called Sam, and got ready to spend the night at his place. Dawn got me a $50 gift card for my upcoming birthday. Old Navy is having a Memorial Day sale, so they recommended I use it this weekend.

We ate Quiznos and now we are at his place hanging out and working on Magic decks. I will talk to Dyanis later.
