It’s Thursday, ah-ready. I haven’t posted anything in, like, three days. Maddy’s gonna have my ass disected. The only reason I even have a diary is because of her. The only reason it looks so good is for her. If it weren’t for her, I’d have quit posting back in the fall and when I don’t post, I hear about it. And my goal in life is to make her happy. Honest and for true!

It’s just that I haven’t had a lot to say lately. I’m just so wrapped up in work. Nothing could be a dryer read than hearing about my work woes. However, I feel like the place is about to consume me altogether. I’m not sure if that’s good or bad. I mean…I like being busy but this may be over the top.

I went to see my apartment this week. I know what you’re thinking. “He’s been talking about this apartment for about a month and he just got to see it now?” Well, I’m renting the place from a friend who bought this place about six months ago but whose circumstance has changed. She’s got her son moving in with her and there’s no room in the place for him. So she bought a small house, is moving there, and renting me her condo.

We went there one noon hour so I could see it. I’ll move in when I get back from Ecuador.

I love it. The place is brand new. It’s about four hundred square feet with a cute bathroom and kitchen. It’s a bachelor suite. There’s a dishwasher, built in laundry facility, central air and a patio - all right downtown. I can’t wait. It’s perfect.

My next trip to Ecuador is set. I leave on the 29th and I get back on the 8th of August. This time it’s all in Ecuador and it’ll be a lot more interesting this time. I’ll be doing a lot of installation and training people on the equipment during our stay. I hope we get a bit of time to tour around too. There’s some really interesting art in them there hills.

We’re off to my parent’s place for the weekend in the morning. They’re celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. Hard to believe, actually! I can remember my grand parent’s 50th.

It’s interesting, though. My uncle (father’s brother) and his wife would have celebrated their 50th at the same time but he died a couple of months ago.

What’s even more surprising, is that Luvofmylife and I are celebrating our 25th this year. That’s pretty scary doncha think?
