I found Osiris this morning before I left for work!
I was walking out of the kitchen and he was crawling in. I was so happy to see him. I figured I’d find him after I bought Isis and Ra. So now I have 3 snakes… the more the merrier, right? I’m glad I have that big tank now.

I got more unpacking and decorating done today. Dudney and I went to the bar/laundry because we still haven’t got the washer from Mom’s storage. Afterwards, we went shopping.

I bought two snakes, a male and a female. They are both ball pythons. The female is a high morph. I named her Isis and the male Ra. I still hope I find Osiris. Since I bought them I probably will find him.

I also bought 2 new bongs, 2 more blacklights, and another disco ball. I also got several more candle holders. I’m a candle freak.

I got a bunch of unpacking done today. I got all those boxes of Mom’s off the front porch. They were driving me crazy… they looked so damn tacky. After I got it clean I decided it needed flowers so I went to Walmart. Mom had been babysitting McKenzie, but I decided to take her with me. While I was looking at flowers I saw a pool and a barbeque grill I wanted so I bought them.

The pool is 18ft x 4ft. I also got a bunch of pool toys and lights and stuff… I’m such a impulse shopper.

Last night, I passed out before Nick and I took our flirtation to the bedroom.

I got up and went to turn Osiris’ day light on and he was gone. He ran away
I guess the correct term would be “he slithered away,” but that has negative connotations to it.

I had to have her committed to a state psychiatric hospital about four years ago because she was so strung out and paranoid she became a danger to herself and everyone she came into contact with. She thought that the government had implanted a camera in her eye and a microphone in her ear. She thought everyone was plotting to kill her. She thought the north star was a helicopter the government was using to follow her. She heard voices telling her things like Jess (my sister) was kidnapped and burnt alive - she had even convinced herself that she smelled Jess’ flesh and hair burning.

I was living with my sister and grandparents at the time all of that was happening. My grandpa wanted to help her, so he made her come stay with us. Grandpa supervised her all day. He had gone to bed, but she was still awake (she still had a lot of dope in her system and she hadn’t been to sleep in a few days). I was awake as well because I was usually up really late at night, talking to Erick online. That particular night, Granny actually fell asleep early (she’s usually a night owl, like me), so I was the only one awake besides my mother.

After a little while I noticed her pacing the hallway with nine knives, a can of hairspray, a lighter, and a hammer. I asked what she was doing and she told me that we were being held hostage and that the house was surrounded. She said she was going to protect us. I knew she had completely lost it and it freaked me out. I didn’t really know what to do or say. She sat on my bed which was directly behind my computer and office chair. I turned my cam on so I could watch her and make sure she didn’t decide to use one of her weapons on me. I was worried she would turn on me because a couple weeks before that she thought I was one of the people plotting to kill her.

The house we moved into is an older house. It has two bathrooms, but the main one doesn’t have a shower. I love to take candlelit bubble baths when I really need to relax, but when I’m just trying to get clean, I prefer a quick shower. I bought one of those hand-held shower-heads that slip over the tub spout… it didn’t work worth a damn unless I barely turned the water on, so that idea was a bust.
When Nick and his dad were installing my ceiling fan I asked his dad (Granddaddy Big Nut) how much it would be to put in a shower head. He used to be a plumber so I knew he would know. He said the easiest and cheapest way to go about it would be to get a “add-a-shower” tub spout and then connect a handheld shower-head to it.

I ordered one online from home depot, the damned thing was over $30 before shipping. It arrived today. Nick and his dad happened to stop by, so I put them to work again. To my dismay, after removing the spout, Bob discovered that the piping and threading were all wrong for that particular spout… so it wasn’t going to work either. DAMN!

He called Lowe’s and they had the correct tub spout in stock and it was only $13. I went with him to pick it up. Nick stayed at my house and was messing with his van. On the way to Lowe’s Bob was telling me stories about Nick as a baby and stuff like that. I never really thought about Nick as being a baby… especially a good baby.

Bob was also talking about how much Nick talks about me and he thanked me for making Nick stop doing dope.

Last night, I drank for the first time since New Years. I didn’t get drunk, but I definitely caught a buzz.

Nick came over last evening and spent the night. (He’s still here actually) We didn’t really do anything. We watched movies and got high mostly. Nick is in the friend zone whether he knows it or not. I made him go shopping with me. I had to go to Petco to get Osiris’ dinner. I bought a baby leopard gecko for Osiris’ old tank and got the stuff to set up the proper environment for him.

I was off work today, so I decided I should actually be productive.
I cleaned out that huge aquarium (24×36x16) mom gave me for Osiris. He’s about five feet now and he was getting cramped up in his thirty gallon reptile tank. He shed a couple nights ago, so I had to clean out that tank as well. I always feed him a few days after he sheds, so I’ll have to go to Petco later to get him a rat.

Nick quit working at the shop and opened up a fencing business with his dad. Tuesday night after he got off work, he came over to hang out with me. I talked him into installing my new ceiling fan. His dad had all the tools in his truck, so Nick called him. Robert (Nick’s daddy) brought the tools and decided to stick around and help.

(Men are good for some things after all)
