I did stop by the hosptial briefly...

But I was relieved that Weezer was still out of it and my Auntie was gone to have dinner. My uncle doesn't say much besides hello. He said Brian was doing about the same and asked how I was. I said fine and that was about it. When I got home, Maricel had dinner ready and then we went for a nighttime walk around the neighborhood. I've always liked peeking into homes at night. Maybe peeking isn't the right word. I'm not in the bushes. The bugs were irritating to me, but Maricel says they're nothing. I don't care how big the bugs are in Manila. The ones here irritate me. When we got home, we ran into Jeff Belby who lives over the beauty salon next door. He said he caught someone lurking out in what passes for my back yard. His dog barked at whoever it was and he turned on a light and the lurker vamoosed. Lovely. Suddenly my yard in crime ridden.

See you in the funny papers...

We did some re-arranging...

of stuff to make some real space for Maricel. We set up a little office space for her laptop and even went out to Target to find some spiffy office supplies. She was all about Target. I could always drop money there, it makes me feel like I have some taste. Maricel controlled me admirably. I didn't buy anything except some more of thos chili sour cream chips. Maricel bought her own office decor. I noticed she's real careful about not letting me spend money on her. She asked her cousin to ship a bunch of her things here. The cousin isn't so sure it's a great idea for her to move to Ohio to live with a stranger, but she's shipping her stuff anyway. She's probably sitting there shaking her head like I do when Weezer tells me he's started a small fire.
