And they're off...

It was pointless for me to update for FunkyB because, instead of just reading it, he jumped in his car to see what was going on in person. He brought his new camera phone which was so obviously an invite for Mau to repeatedly take pics of his ass and set them as FunkyB’s wallpaper. We all knew that was coming.

This was not purely a social visit (although a round of Mario Party was played but, c’mon) but a business one. He & Mau got jobs through the same company installing and rebuilding networks as a team. Pays decently and is in their field (finally) but there’s a drawback…it’s a travel job. They leave tomorrow for California for 2 weeks…kind of a 2 week on, 1 week off type of deal but it’s usually out of town. We’ll see how it goes. It’s definitely going to be lonely around here and some things might prove to be difficult but I’m tough (well, I can pretend at least). It’s a job and that’s all that matters…2 words, car payment.

Sky’s medical issue is nearly gone now. Oh yeah, I didn’t mention that. Sky had a bit of a “man problem”. He came out to us on Thursday saying his “weenie had a big red thing on it”. Did it ever! The whole end of it was swelled up so big, it was crazy looking. Immediately he was taken to the doctor who said he’d been bitten by a bug and was having an allergic reaction. He was put on antibiotics and Benedryl. It subsided within 2 days for the most part. The poor kid. He was a trooper and didn’t cry or complain (yes, we are talking about Skylar here). I know if it was me, I would have been bitching up a storm and we all know what Mau’s like with medical stuff. Would you care for some “whine” with your meal sir?

Sunday was amazingly sweltering here. Mary Jo offered relief in the form of her sister’s pool. You would have never thought we all could move that fast to get ready to go. It was awesome!
