This dynamic life means always adapting (pt. 2)

So, there I was, worn out from the non-stop activities of moving and preparing the HPF for horsey arrival. I laid on the daybed and read fer a few and then I passed out. Sleeping soundly enough to be completely oblivious to how I was being victimized.
When she picked up my feet I was coherent enough to feel them being laid on her lap.
This is how they look now, days later. Whu-evah, I haven't cared enough to remove it. I think I may just let Emily remove it, though. The housewarming we had required me to be barefoot. I made sure to explain to the new neighbors that this was victimization.
We, Rhianna and I, anxiously awaited the start of The Puppy Games on Animal Planet. We watched a few minutes, about a half hour actually, until we tired of it. It was cute and entertaining for a short time. Then, it just became the same pointless, puppies shuffling around doing whatever. That's great for a toilet paper commercial or something, but gets old fast.
Bette Davis was, uncat-like as she is often, contorted in this twisted mass on her back in Neriah's arms. It was quite the sight. She never ceases to amaze me by how affectionate and 'rub my belly' she is, very unusual among the cats I've known.

Like I said in the first part of this post, my camera on my phone is being stoopid so I have gotten hardly any, just the few you see here, of the life-tracking documentary pictures that I normally like to. So, undocumented was the move, the new HPF and it's related challenges and joys, and the really awesome event that happened after the housewarming the other day. I had a few beers, socializing with the peeps and then I decided to join the kids in the pool. Well, apparently I waited too long. Very shortly after I got in, the kids left with the ex-wife-creature. Then, Emily, being the vampire that she is, got her fill of the sun after the usual twenty minutes or so and I was alone. I would have left, too, but the pool was too nice and relaxing. So, I grabbed all three pool noodles. I put two under my shoulders and one under my ankles and fell into a deep slumber. I think, not sure, that Emily and my mom only let me sleep for about thirty minutes before their paranoia took over and Emily came to rouse me by splashing water in my face. It was frickin amazing, though. Before, I fell asleep, I looked at the clouds above, all fluffy and slow-moving. As I drifted around very slowly, the tree back thar would enter the picture.

I must stop now. I hasta pee and the dishwasher has stopped so I needsta empty it and then my mom's coming over to have me look at her truck because the window motor decided to quit working and it's half way up. This is a considerable danger down here because it rains every frickin day.

The pool in da 'hood.

This morning, I woke up and did my usual walking the dogs routine and was about to lay back down. Then, I decided that I should go to the pool before everyone waked up and flooded the place, since it's Memorial Day, ya' know. So, I put on my swim trunks, grabbed a towel and the book I'm currently reading and headed for the spot pictured above. There was only a dad, grandmother, and child group there when I arrived. Two more eye candies arrived to sunbathe. I layed in the shade, alternating between reading and napping, for a while. Then, I turned my chair around and basked in the sun for about twenty minutes before refreshing myself in the perfectly temperate water. As a huge cloud came to block out the sun for prolly 5 or ten minutes, it was a bit too cool for shade for me, so I leaved. I came back home and taked a shower. Just like yesterday, it was quite nice.

The big pool

Sunday, yesterday, after I told the kids, including a few kids from da 'hood, to be quiet because Emily's sleeping, I realized that it would be a good time to just go to the big pool. So, I invited the next door neighbor and her daughter, along with a couple kids that she was entertaining. The weather was frickin awesome, as it is most days round hya. It was quite a packed house because of what I didn't really think of until we got there, it's Memorial Day weekend, which was really not a big deal. Actually, we were fortunate enough to have the only two available chairs waiting for us when we got there. So, we lounged while the kids went down the water slide and played in the ice-cold water. Then, after an hour or so, the neighbor and I agreed to move shop over to the, 'warmer because the water isn't continually recirculated by waterfalls and the water slide', 'lounge pool when it isn't being used for a lap pool'.

We had to sit in the grass over there but that was ok. There is a large hill that faces the pool with nice plush, green grass. The pool wasn't overcrowded because most of the people there were lounging in the chairs, sunbathing. It was quite nice. We stayed there for another hour or so after re-applying the sunscreen.

A peaceful spot to read

I went on down to the pool yesterday. Emily was still sleeping and I wanted to read without sitting in a quiet chair at home, falling asleep. It was a nice, peaceful spot to read. The cleaning peeps were there when I first got there, but them and the construction peeps over there, across the from the mailboxes, were just background noise. Then, the cleaning peeps left and I was alone for a few until some other, not-too-loud, peeps showed up. Overall, a very nice spot to read. Actually, I had to move over under the roof thing because, not only was the sun getting toasty but, some damn ants were pestering the hell outta me. They weren't fire ants, or I would've moved a lot sooner. They were just explorers and their incessant crawling over my skin was just annoying.

My cell phone doesn't come close to capturing the awesomeness of most things. The sky, as I looked up yesterday, is a good example. It looks kinda blah in the undescriptive eye of my cell phone. That's ok, I can remember it when I see the picture, so I will stick it in here, in my life-tracker.
