Now that all three of us, Patrick, Lois and I are all working, things are slowly falling into a routine.
Work is...interesting. It isn't awful, it just isn't stimulating or challenging or even really intriguing. It is work, and it pays the bills, so I am grateful for that. I signed up for benefits yesterday and made Patrick my "beneficiary" in the event that something should happen to me. If he and I both croak, I made Gemma my beneficiary. I had better call and tell her that. I also found out that I can list Patrick as my "domestic partner" in November-first I have to draw up a will and we have to set up a joint back account, all of which we were planning on doing anyway. This is great because it will give Patrick insurance-including dental and it won't cost more than $120 a month for us both-much better than the $90 a month he is paying now for just himself.
I got an email from Leah, she and Brian are engaged and she is VERY happy. I don't know when the wedding is, but I'm sure we'll get that news as it is decided.
Patrick's best friend Josh and his girlfriend, JoJo are visiting this weekend. Josh had a showing yesterday and tomorrow they are driving back to Texas, just in time for Hurricane Dennis to meet them at the front door. This is the first time I have been able to meet JoJo, and she seems absolutely perfect for Josh. She seems to be very nice and they make a great couple from what I can tell and they both seem very happy. I'm just glad that Josh isn't dating another psycho.
Josh has come out with more art pieces and after seeing some of the pictures (I didn't get to go to the gallery, I had to work), I think there are a few that I want to buy. They will be back for Indian Market next month, so maybe I'll get to see some of the pieces then.
I'm gonna go broke.
Mom is in KY, Chicago, and Michigan this week. She and Ray went up there to see family and go to the O'Sullivan family reunion. I need to get another part of her birthday gift, as it is Wednesday and she won't be here for it, I figure I have a little time.
