Sister and I missed the excitement...

We got to the hospital to find out that someone had tried to rough up Brian in his hospital bed. From my panicked Aunt's description, it sounds like the dude who came looking for him in the store. He actually grabbed him and shook him. That precipitated another severe asthma attack, so he's back on oxygen and again looking like death warmed over. It's not unusual for people to rough up Weezer over money, but in his hospital bed seems a bit extreme. Sister said she'd stay with our aunt for awhile. I looked at Brian and felt sad for him, then I went back to the store. Krypto was perched on a bust of Catwoman looking out the front window. That made me smile.

We enjoy blogging together....

Actually, she likes the aquarium screen saver and I'm a dork with a digital camera and a kitten. Bear with me, I haven't had a pet in years. And I ain't putting pictures of my new girlfriend on the web, despite numerous requests you pervert.

I woke up with kitten paws in my mouth...

Krypto seems to really, really like me. And it seems my neck is cozy. I took it to the vet and it was declared a she, given shots and put on a weight-gain diet. Then back to open the store. Then Maricel got a call from the temp agency about a job subbing as a teaching assistant for a week. It's at the school for the arts, which I think would be easier than the school for autistic kids, but I could be wrong. She had to head out for some kind of orientation. While Krypto and I were enjoying a sandwich for lunch, my sister came in.
"Mom says I need to apologize." She said.
"No need." I said. "There's no reason we should ever speak again."
"That could be awkward. Cute kitten."
"What do want, Sister?" I really do call her Sister, I have for years and she hates it when I use her name on-line.
"Where's your friend?"
"Talking to someone about a teaching job." I said.
"She was pretty offended." Sister said.
"She was exponentially offended."
"Uh, I guess I misunderstood the situation." Sister said.
"Yes, I actually can get a woman without having to order her from a catalog. Although, from what I understand it's illegal to advertise chicks in the Philippines, so the dudes put themselves in a catalog and the ladies give 'em a call."
"It's just that you've been so lonely since..."
"Actually not that lonely for awhile. I've just been on-line late at night talking to Maricel."
"You know she's gettig married, right?" Sister said.
"Yeah, she broke into my back door to look for some earrings that go with her dress."
"Oh." Sister said and furrowed her brow. She knew more than she was saying.
Maricel got back while Sister and I were talking.
"I'm gonna go see Brian." Sister said.
"Go with her if you want." Maricel said. "I'll watch the store."
"How was your orientation?" I asked.
"Not much to it." She said.
"I'm all apologetic and stuff." Sister said.
"Good for you." Maricel said and she picked up Krypto and began to cuddle her while ignoring Sister. Gotta love a multi-tasker.
