I completely forgot about posting.

Boo!:

• parasites.  they are cramping our style here.  my friend's kids want to see Puka, but I won't let them until she gets closer to being parasite-free.  I let adults see her, but make sure to keep a bottle of Wet Ones handy, just to be on the safe side.
  
• not having inspiration.  I haven't opened up my sketch book in a month, maybe more.  I haven't been inspired to do anything.  I don't like this.  I want to be able to pick up and draw whatever.  it doesn't happen.
• haven't been to the gym in over a week.  since getting Puka, I've been bringing her to work, keeping he company and making sure she's doing okay.  plus, I have to give her eye ointment twice a day (although we've been slacking a little on this, but I keep up as best I can).  I miss going to the gym.  I'm gonna start up next week for sure, when I start leaving Puka at home.
• gas prices.
• cost of living in Hawai'i.
• constant reminders that I will never get to live anywhere but here.  Pearl Harbor is celebrating its 100th anniversary.  It is now being considered somewhat of a "national treasure" and so they will be doing upgrades and such...  so it just reminds me of how stable Pearl Harbor is, compared to Puget Sound or San Diego.  I'll never get to move.
  
• unresponsive property managers and maintenance crew.  Last week, I went to the restroom, and one of the toilets was clogged.  I went to use the other one, and a lady came in and flushed the clogged toilet... causing it to overflow.  The water started spilling all over the floor and I had to lift up one leg to avoid it.  yuck.  I called the property manager to get the maintenance guy out to fix it.  I had to LEAVE A VOICE MAIL FOR HER.  and you know what?  I don't think they have mopped the floor yet.  I think it air-dried and they didn't clean up the floor, because there are still little bits of toilet paper near the drain on the floor.  double yuck.
  

Yay!:

• kitty getting bigger and keeping very active.  Puka naps a lot, like all cats, but she runs around and pounces her toys and our feet and crumpled pieces of paper... she's a lot of fun.
• getting my teeth cleaned by the oral hygienist.  I love the feeling of freshly cleaned teeth.
• Indian food.  I took my mom and brother (his birthday is May 12) to Maharani for dinner on Sunday night.  Luckily we got there early enough to avoid standing in line (they don't take reservations).  I forgot to take pictures... oh well, I guess I'll just have to go again!
• word games.  I like word games.
• my boss.  he's a really laid back guy who understands that, when there isn't any work going on, there isn't any work going on.
• getting ready for parties.  we're having a going away party for my boss on Friday night, at the assistant manager's house.  Saturday, there's a party out in Hawai'i Kai.  We also have a Rock Band Party for the end of the month.
• sleeping in.  I slept 'til 11:30 on Sunday.  it was nice.
• spending money AND helping someone at the same time.  we've decided to use part of our stimulus package to buy my boss' television.  it's a big screen tv and he's selling it for less than what he paid for it, even though he's only had it for about 5 months.  I was hoping to get it for a little less than that, but I think he's a little cheap and doesn't realize used items don't hold their value like they should.  oh well.. it's helping him out.
