Doors aren't just portals anymore.

Friday night was cool -- Angelica's birthday, we went to my house, then Uno's, then to play pool. I really love playing pool with friends, but Angelica and I have to make a date to go play pool together sometime 'cause I get so aggravated having to wait my turn. Besides, there's more of a tension between two people 'cause there's a bit more competition going on. ^^ It was me, Liz, Will, Maryann, Raquel, and of course, Angelica. It was pretty cool that Raquel was able to come and hang out. We all had a really nice time.

I was able to update everyone (who didn't already know, namely Will and Raquel) on my new job and training at Nashville. I was also able to ask Raquel in person about coming to Nashville with me. She said she actually might come for a few days 'cause there's a law school down there that she wanted to visit, but she wasn't sure if it's really in Nashville, or if she was misremembering. So it would be really awesome if she actually does!

Saturday -- woke up around noon? The construction guys continued to work on the garage/room. They "painted" the outside of the garage -- the part that frames the new facade, and "holds up" the porch. It's a nice dark grey to match the other greys in the walkway and steps. Went shopping for a new entry door for the house. Doors are fricking expensive! What the hell?! Didn't do much else.

Oh, wait. I did! I watched more episodes of Wild Striker (up to 33, I believe), which is pretty entertaining now. I'm enjoying it very much, although it will never be as awesome as Whistle!, which I've been getting strong urges to watch over. Heh heh. Maybe I can convince Liz to watch it, then I can watch some episodes over while she's watching. =D

Sunday -- went to work at GCS. Barely any business, but I got quite a bit of pricing done. You know, it really bugs me that the record-keeping has almost completely gone to shit while I've been gone. It's really not difficult and it doesn't exactly take up a huge amount of time. I swear, I don't know how Fay managed to own a successful store for over 20 years if this is how she runs her business. It's really ridiculous, I'm surprised the IRS hasn't audited her and found wild inconsistencies. x_x; And how does it NOT piss her and/or Yvette off?! It's their business! Don't they care if their own records are correct or not?! alsjfklsjfs! I suspect it will be a freaking pleasure (in regards to this sort of thing anyway) to work for Russell, a former accountant.

Success!

Raquel called me earlier to say that she'd most likely be able to come to Nashville with me for a few days! She's planning on flying in on Wednesday and leaving Friday. I hope she's coming down in the daytime on Wednesday, so that I can hang out with her on Wed night! I'm so happy that she's going~! I mean, I realize this is advantageous for her too because she's saving some money on hotel costs, but still. ^^ It is somewhat short notice, so I'm glad.

(Anyone else that wants to go, don't let this stop you -- it's a king size bed, after all. There's still plenty of room.)

And now, for some more pics of my almost-completed house project. By now, you know about the whole click-for-full-size thing, right?

( Friday )

Saturday, they did a little more work inside (not anything really visible) and painted the left side of wall of the garage-room overhang/porch support.

( Sunday )

The room is smaller than I thought it would be (than it was, really, because they have to put insulation which takes up a couple of inches on each wall and the ceiling), but it's still a liveable space for one person. And it's not like she's going to be locked away in there -- the door between our rooms will probably be open most of the time. ^^ (It's really weird that this is happening. I'm not sure if my sense of unreality about it all is really coming through.)
