Curtain Call October 10, 2003 - 2:59 p.m.

So it seems that my brother didn't come in town on Wednesday, he started driving from California on that day. As of last night, he was hanging out in Memphis and planned on heading here today. Which only takes like four hours. And, seeing as he has his brother and a truck or trailer of his belongings, I'm going to assume they aren't sticking around here too long either. Gotta get that stuff moved. At least, that's what I'm hoping. We're supposed to have dinner with them tonight, but that also depends on when my mom gets off work.

We went to Walmart last night. Got a bunch of really good soup. Got some chips and Skittles. Lots of drinks like milk, chocolate milk, and apple juice. Some pork chops too, because I'm getting way tired of Hamburger Helper or even chicken. We needed just a touch of variety. Also, we got some new stuff for the bathroom. A new shower liner (they didn't have any cool curtains, so we'll get that later), rings for that, a new toilet seat, a seat cover (he wanted it), and a new rug that matches the cover.

At around five or six this morning, after I shut down the computer and picked up some dishes or whatever, I installed the new bathroom stuff. And now I have to say..... we really need a shower curtain to go over the liner. It's just lacking color there. But otherwise, it looks groovy. We got a dark navy rug and toilet seat cover, which looks far better than the weird pale moss green and light mauve color thing his mom had going on in there. Luckily those colors were only in the things we replaced. There is the issue of painting the walls eventually, but the bathroom needs other work so we're waiting to fix some stuff first. It just looks odd, because it looks as though his mom used white primer instead of actual paint. With a sponging technique with gold. Yeah. *insert puke face here* Not pretty stuff. But aesthetics aren't important when you have other issues to think of.

So, Chris wakes me up when he gets home, just to thank me for fixing the bathroom, taking out the four huge trash cans, and adds that the smilie face I made out of the purple Skittles by the computer was cute.

I vaguely remember saying 'You're welcome' and going back to sleep.

I don't think he expected me to change the bathroom stuff. Especially the toilet seat. He probably figured I wouldn't want to mess with it. When, I actually enjoy doing stuff like that. Well... not playing with toilets. Just, changing things. Installing new things. I can point to whatever I've fixed, and say 'Hey! Look what I did!' and feel proud and useful, even if it's the lamest thing ever.

And it usually is.
