The rental property

The top apartment at our rental propert is coming along. We redid the kitchen floors, we painted, new appliances (still have to get a new fridge as the other one molded on the inside), finsihing new counters and light over sink - then it is done. It is looking really good finally.

It sucks doing work and having it not be the house you live in. We spent a lot of the weekend working on it.

The kitchen

The sink counter ends still need to be fabricated

The dining room. What to do with the hutch? Should I leave it?

The living room looks nice in white.

Damn someone had a bad day

I noticed this new hypodermic needle jammed through the window in one
of the buildings Kalaeda is buying near main and north. Having it
occupied should really clean up that section of town.

Here is the building that got stabbed.

Paul's grilled chicken legs

I made these last night and they were so freakin tasty. Marinate in
olive oil , garlic and thyme. Then turn half the grill on. Cook on
non fire filled side for 20-30 minutes with the grill closed. Then
move to fireside for final 5-10 minutes. Yum!

Some more tasty protein yummies. I love tuna.

How can you say no to this?

I am having a severly asthmatic evening.

dragonlady7 writes at 11:17:31 07/14/08 - Comment #37019: There are a lot of allergic people who keep cats and survive. My team captain's boyfriend is severely asthmatic and allergic, and she has come up with all kind of coping mechanisms. Her cats are both long-haired cats, and one of them, she just shaves every few months, the poor thing. She also vacuums religiously and they got rid of all their carpeting and have leather couches because cat hair doesn't stick to leather. But they have a much smaller house so there are fewer places for poor allergic Walt to retreat.

Most important is KEEP THE THING OUT OF YOUR BEDROOM. You need a cat-free space to retreat to. Be really strict about this, even to the point of not keeping dirty laundry in there that might have cat hair on it.
I mean, that's only if he's coming inside at all-- but really, restricting what rooms of the house he can go into is a really good idea if he ever comes inside. Keep doors shut and so on.

A good-quality HEPA air filter in the cat-free space will also help. I know these assholes fired me, but their HEPA filters are for serious-- www.austinair.com -- and they're good for chemical sensitivities too. If you're interested in one I'll give you my old sales manager's contact info-- he's still a nice dude and could cut you a deal.

www.allergybuyersclub.com is a good website with various allergy coping mechanisms-- faithfully brushing the cat (preferably outdoors) to keep shedding and dander to a minimum, but they also sell like these baby-wipe-like things that you can wipe the cat down with now and then to get dander off it so it doesn't become airborne.

Does your kitty have a name? He looks a lot like Chita so I am automatically a sucker for him and want you guys to totally keep him. The more proactive you are about keeping him from annoying you, the longer you can keep him without, you know, dying. So really I'm being selfish in telling you all this, but also I don't want you to die.

Things that stress me out

This tree humping my house. It is my neighbor's tree and the reason I never do anything about it is because I feel bad having them cut such a big ole beautiful tree. On the other hand it is fucking up my roof.

I love my new iPhone

I love my new iphone. Here I am, blowing it kisses like a new lover. I stayed up all night writing a program so I can picture blog from it via email in an effort to bring me closer to my 3000th blog post. If you have an iphone amnd want to try it, message me. I am also working on a blackberry version for (e:fing). Apparently, bith OSes don't let you upload files from the browser, lame.

I am so glad I didn't wait in the four hour line yesterday (e:paul,44928) . They had plenty of them this afternoon and the line was only 10 minutes. The tricky thing is that they have to remove all corporate discounts from your phone in order to activate it. Then you have to go to the AT&T store to rreapply the discounts to your account. I bet lots of people forget. How tricky is that. They say its a computer glitch, whatever.
