thursday

6:00 Alarm goes off. Think I hit snooze.
7:00 Wake up in a panic. Did not hit snooze, hit perma-snooze. Run downstairs, quickly get ready.
7:20 Start truck. Some lady in a Mercedes gets stuck behind me. Put truck in 4 by and drive over curb onto street.
7:40 Stop at 7-11 to get Adam and Del coffee. Del always said it's ok to come late, as long as you don't come empty handed.
8:00 Arrive at site. Adam's 1985 Ford Ranger is parked in my spot. Shoot the breeze, drink some coffee.
8:15 Start working. Adam is working on direction blocks and strapping. Del and I finish the wall over the door. Tear down, then rebuild scaffolding on the other side. Start working on other wall.
9:00 Notice that Adam is strangely quiet. So I made fun of his mom.
10:00 Coffee. Yogurt, sesame snaps, and an apple. Some water too.
10:30 Back to work. Adam starts working on the sheer walls. Thankfully. I was worried that the house was going to blow over at the slightest breeze.
10:30-12:30 Nothing noteworthy happens.
12:30 Lunch. Leftover shepherds pie. Hardly a lunch though, more like L U. Luckily, I brought some leftover pizza as well. Wonder what my life coach will say about that. O ya, he will say I'm fat, and that I shouldn't eat more than a handful of dried mango slices a day. I also ate two granola bars as well. Drank 1/2 litre of water.
1:30 Back to work. Sunny and beautiful outside the house, raining inside the house. Del and I finish the walls, so we start working our way down the to-do list.
3:05 The skies grow dark and the air chills. The hair on my arms stand on end. Look up. He who must not be named is upon us, and we have no time to take cover. Before I could run away, my gaze is drawn to his. I am trapped. I call out to him, but the voice is not mine, it sounds otherworldly. "Hello (He who must not be named), I love what you have done with the truss system. Worked out great!" Our gaze is broken, and with it his control over my mind, when Del rounds the corner. Valiantly he engages He who must not be named in conversation. Adam carries me to safety. Del reaches out and accepts He who must not be named's offering of carpenters pencils. They leave the house to do battle. I feel the warmth returning to my body, strength soon follows. Back to work.
3:30 After some colorful language is used by Del, He is run off by Del's mighty hammer.
3:31 His vehicle speeds away. The clouds retreat, the sun's warmth returns. The site is at piece again. Except for Del. He is furious. Remember that fix I told you about. We have to do it.
3:45 RRRRRRROOOOOOOLLLLLLL UUUUUUUUUUPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!
4:00 Arrive at Staples business depot followed by Adam and Del.
4:05 Try to print resume's. Can't work copy machine. (Recall that scene in Zoolander where they act like apes and start hitting the computer).
4:10 Staples associate prints them for us.
4:30 Arrive at food court at Chinook. Apply to various restaurants in food court.
4:56 Arrive at food court at Southcentre. Apply to KFC.
5:15 Arrive home. Tell wife I had a good day. Everything is fine.
5:30 Eat supper. Wraps. Thanks Hon.
6:00 Go out to do some running around. Pick out nice black slacks for new job.
7:50 Arrive home
7:59 Give son snack
8:14 Give son bath
8:29 Put son to bed.
9:00-11:00 Don't talk to wife. Her shows are on and she will hit me if I make a noise. Read silently in bed. We'll, my lips were moving a little bit.
11:05 Write this line.
11:15 Shower
11:30 Go to bed.

Good bye MY LOOOOOOVVVVVE!!!!!!
