Today at work, I swept up all the rooms and the outside, removed sashes from windows, broke down window frames, and helped Mills put up siding. It was a great day and as usual, Mills, Ben, and I all work great as a team. :) The guy came to pick up the windows today also.

Today marks the one year anniversary of when I moved here. Yay! :) I have one year left until I have to move out of Amadeo's apartment. I am cooking now, and later I will go to the grocery store to pick up some things. After that, I may wash clothes and chat with Dyanis. Then, I will get ready for bed.

I took a shower this morning, then went to work. At work, I removed glass from windows, swept and raked debris from grass, removed nails, used the circular saw, and helped with the deck. We got off early, and I headed to Maik's to play Magic. We had subway, and I am posting this using Maik's Internet connection.

I worked today, and it was a good day. It rained, but I stayed dry for the most part. We removed nails, scraped more paint, hauled lumber, removed tile laminate, and swept. The day went by fast because we worked steadily and I didn't check the time as much.

I found out that Ben's birthday is October 11, 1979. Not only does that make him a Libra, but also love and friendship with my day May 31st according to Josh's astrology book. Pretty cool, and that is the same birthday as my old friend Nicholas Anderson and former colleague Ashley Thibodeaux. No wonder we work so well together! :)

Anyway, I am off now. It was a great day just as I expected. I will chat with Dyanis later. My iPod still seems to have problems connecting to the internet. I couldn't even post the blog from it, so I am posting this on the laptop. I will have to check out what is wrong with it on the internet. I hope I can get some answers and get it working right again soon.

Therapy today went great. I had some CBT to think more positively about my life as well as some ideas for long term work. We came up with putting up an ad on Craigslist offering cleaning services for construction sites, houses, or pet sitting.

I honestly feel like my calling is to be a servant like my name suggests. I feel so right when I do it, and I am so good at it and love it that it almost is not work at all. I think I have found my ticket to success. Now all I have to do is give it a try.

I have interview with Caitlin from NAMI in half an hour. She will be getting to know me and my lifestyle so we know what I need help with. Later I am going to cook spaghetti.

Today is Amadeo's quality time day, aka "bro date", haha. Dawn cooked pancakes and sausage for breakfast. It was delicious.

Later, we went to Shawn's house to help him set up his cable tv, Internet, and phone line. They are doing that as I type this. Shawn seems like a nice guy, even like me in a lot of ways. I wonder if he is a Gemini too, lol. He works with Alex and Amadeo.

At about 5:00 tonight, I am going to Sam's to play Magic with Sam and Lou. It will be fun, and I may even get to work on decks. Sam's apartment is so peaceful and quiet.

Outside with the parakeets today. Later, I will cook spaghetti and clean Sam's apartment tonight.

I doubled up the parakeet cages so they can have more space and interact with each other. I tried it yesterday and they loved it! They met each other as soon as I put the cages together. They are flock animals, and they go up to the bars to meet each other when the cages are separate, so there's no surprise there. I will do this from now on.

Went to work today. We finished picking up the boards, removing the nails, and removing the windows and facia.

At 1:00, I drove Mills' truck to and from the clinic to get my meds. He asked me to drive it to save time and I was very careful with it. Thankfully, nothing happened to his truck.

We got off early, around 5:00, after a hard day, and we got paid. It was in 1/2 dollars again, lol, but that's ok; money is money .

I went home, unpacked, and went to DG for some kitchen trash bags. When I got home, Dawn let me have the rest of her Angus burger :) it was delicious, but only a snack. I set some meat defrosting for later when I cook spaghetti.

Right now, the parakeets are outside getting fresh air. As usual, they love it. I think all bird owners should do this. It is even good for me to be outside. Earlier, I serviced the cage as well as the food and water outside the door for the stray black cat. I love that thing.

Anyway, going to take it easy tonight. It has been a long week. I worked 5 days and got paid $150. I got all my spending out of my system for now, so I think I will save it for something later like my car.
