my flight was delayed again yesterday coming home from manchester. i was really pissed off about it. all i wanted to do was go home. i had enough of massachusetts. i had of enough of crappy tv channels at the hotel. i had enough of no one to hang out with. all i wanted to do was go home. but nooooo....my flight had to be delayed. it totally sucked. not only that but when i came home, peepo wasn't home and the coffee table and kitchen were a mess. when peepo finally came home, he wasn't fit for conversation. that ticked me off.

and now i have to go back to mass on sunday. all i want to do is get home early on wednesday for once. i have off on friday and i just want to start my weekend early. i also hope to get my expense check before then. but that's a long shot.

y'know, i am so sure that everyone does this but i just thought i'd air it out. i take all the toiletries i possibly can from hotels. whatever i don't use, i take. you never know when you're gonna need toiletries. and you might as well take the ones while you can and use them when you need them. y'know?

the girls in the office in lowell are taking me to a baseball game tonite. the office complex gets these tickets and gives them to tenants pretty randomly. this time we got them and we had a lottery to see who were going. i think i was the guest, so they reserved one for me. i don't like baseball, but i guess it will be fun. nothing like drinking and watching nothing happen for an extended amount of time. al-right!

blueberry turnover!

so i went to see the relatives last nite after work. they are all doing well and the kids are getting bigger. it's funny how they all try to feed me all kinds of food every time i walk into the door. anyway, after i got back to the htel, i totally crashed. i thought maybe i would've gotten hungry or bored. but no, i fell asleep. i guess that's what 'meet joe black' on tv does to you.

hoy polloy. i've been sitting at the computer all day trying to apply cash. and now i've got this check that's paying, i swear to you, 200 invoices all at once. to make matters worse, they are all 2 dollar invoices each. what a pain in the butt.

felony came home on saturday. and he's been doing better each day. the vets say we need to keep an eye on him from now on. he's on a special diet for the rest of his life-- $20 for 10 lbs of food. and he eats like a fat boy at the circus. that's ok though cuz it's felony. and he is a special cat.

i had to fly to boston for work last night. it kinda sucks getting stuck in a hotel on a sunday night with bad tv selection. i ended up watching buffy the vampire slayer reruns til i fell asleep.

felony was put in hospital overnite so that he wouldn't get any worse. apparently, he did not get sick from the pond water he likes to drink. but he got a kidney stone or something. he is still in the hospital right now taking antibiotics to help dissolve the stones. otherwise he will need surgery!! this will probably be very costly, but it is for felony. and peepo's car is also in the hospital. that will also be a costly repair. we are hoping to take a 4 day holiday but with this weeks events, we will need to be very inventive.

i'm totally bummed out that england were sent home. but brazil have been ignored all tournament. it is no wonder they have advanced this far.

my cat, felony, is sick. he threw up yesterday morning twice. we felt bad, but we had to lock him in the bathroom during the day in case he threw up again. the old carpet we have is hard to clean. but i let him outside when i got home from work, and he wasn't quite the same since. he walked around very deliberately and cried all the time. and he kept licking his lips and sticking his tongue out. joe said he must have worms from drinking from the bucket on the balcony. he was laying down on his side late last nite and wasn't looking well. before going to the vets this morning, he thew up again and was hanging his head over his water bowl. poor thing!

people! quit your complaining dammit!

the beautiful game. who will win? who will go home in shame?
wonderful surprises are in store for us. england v. brazil would have been an exciting final match to see.
but it's also exciting to see korea advance. and not to mention senegal. boy what a show they have put on.

phlegm.
