So it occurs to me I haven't updated since I got my green card. Well. I got my green card. The interview went swimmingly. Since then I also got myself a SSN, and a joint bank account with Eli. I finally have some nice roots here. It's likely time to put up curtains or something. I want to decorate, but with an insane cat and a temporary home, it seems silly to even try.
When I do decorate, I would like to use a warm clay color. This is all I know.
Moving on, our beloved stray cat from a few months ago has been placed in a new home. We did not find the original owners, and I think we never will. The place looked like a good home, so I feel our work is done. I give it 3 weeks before Eli finds a box of kittens for us to rehome.
Since last post we have encountered a few things. For one, there was an accident just below our balcony in the bushes. We heard a crunch sound followed be a flurry of yelling and swearing. I don't know the whole story, but I believe there was drinking and they just missed a turn and wrecked the car.
I did a painting for a benefit. You just filled out a form and got a little 6 x 6 canvas and painted on it. I'm fairly happy with it. I did it in a single night, and if you ignore the color scheme, I'm sure it's worth every penny of 'free'. They intend to take the paintings and auction them off to raise money.
I am envious of the life some people have as artists. Nitty gritty hands on art. I wish I was more immersed in the community like Eli's brother. While I'm envying, I wish I weighed as much as his brother too.
Moving on. I had my hair cut off and colored a sort of reddish purple. Like wine maybe. I would show a picture, but I currently have a single all encompassing pimple that could be best described as 'unholy'.
I am already beginning to feel tense in preparation for my flight home again. I don't mind the 'in the air' part. It's the damned terminals. I get lost and scared. I swear I walk out of this house into any social situation and I lose my ability to interact with anyone like a normal human being.
I've been thinking I should start my own business. Doing what, you ask?
I'll get back to you on that.
Have a great Halloween!
