Chris is finally here. This is good because it's pretty creepy being alone in a house that is hectic bustling 90% of the time. The last two days have been pretty good though. A lot of bonding with Bruce. He finally made it on a walk to Almaden Lake without sitting down halfway through and making me carry him. That was yesterday. Today i parked near the Almaden Library and walked to what I used to call the "Dream Park" when I was little. With the exception of the Bruce poo fiasco, it was a fun trip.

Other than that, it's been some reading (finished another book, but I'll post about it later) and watching shows on the computer.

Monday was fun because 1) I was late to work because the light rail decided to not work. It took them 35 minutes to tell us this and kick us off the train. Being that I had transferred trains by that time and that no other train had come by, there was nothing I could really do until then. When they finally did kick us off the train, I waited five minutes. When nothing showed up, the Almaden train came back, so I took the train back to my car and drove. After that roundabout trip, by the time I got to 87, the train I was supposed to be on had only made it to the next stop after the one we were stuck at. Despite all of that, I was actually only like 10 minutes late. And because we kind of hang out on our own most of the day, no one really noticed. So that was good.

The other fun part of Monday (which was spill over from Sunday) was the international battle to set up Cox Cable at Mia's place in Irvine. Fortunately, that one got resolved.

Today was another fun adventure. I actually left a little later than usual because we were spending the day at Family Court (super depressing, btw. do not want to go into Family Law for sure now, unless I'm dealing with like Britney's next divorce or something). We weren't supposed to be there until 10. I actually was GOING to get in a little early and do a little work before heading over or something, but things went awry there as well. So, I've been leaving Bruce in teh bathroom with the doggy door the last few days because I want him to be able to go to the bathroom outside while he was alone all day (separate story for that). Because I'm afraid he might somehow get through the two blockades that would allow him to travel beyond his little area, I closed the gate yesterday. I forgot to do it again this morning, so I turned around, got halfway into the drive way and parked the car. Got back into the car and it wouldnt start. Umma had been warning me that the Jeep does this every once in a while, but it hadn't yet. I put it in neutral like she said and it wouldn't work. I tried that several times and the same. This was an awkard probleem because I was blocking the driveway at this point. There was no way I was going to actually be able to take another car, unless I Could singlehandedly push the car down the driveway.

Eventually, I called Chris to ask him what I should do. Then, the car suddenly started working agian. At this point, I was convinced that I was not going to make it to the lightrail station in time for the train I wanted, so I stressed and went straight downtown in the car. Turns out I made it with a lot of time to spare. This made me happy, so I decided to park and go into the court for a whlie and then head over to family court. I got to experience one of the main reasons that I take the lightrail into downtown San Jose in the first place (after using less gas, of course): parking is terrible downtown. By the time I found a suitable parking lot, I was almost running.

It's back to the lightrail tomorrow. The one good thing about being forced to drive the last few days is that I was able to get back to Bruce quicker. This shouldn't be as much of a problem from here on out because Chris is here to take care of Brucey during the day.

So yeah. That's about it. More typos than usual because I wanted to crank something out before I went to bed.
