Saturday... Kane got up early and turned on the gardening channel. Then he went out and tended his garden in much better spirits today. (I am so glad that we bought that television.) I do think he needs to socialize with others more though, so I was glad to hear that he applied for another part-time job. This time he will be working weekends at the spa.



Speaking of socializing more, Kara invited Sameh, our old paper boy, over. They are best friends. She found out that he is a book worm who is a bit absent-minded.



Billy completed his Kleptos fiction, which, not surprisingly, wasn't too big of a seller. He has started a drama now titled The Night that was Not. Since his brand new desk and chair are in the newly-completed study, he is much happier as he works on his writing.



My big news is that we did even more redecorating and I finally got that last guitar skill and was promoted to conductor. So, in addition to the new study for Billy, we actually have a real kitchen now. By that I mean that we have cabinets, a sink, and a real stove, not just the kid's muffin maker. We also purchased a nice table and a couple more chairs.




Sunday... Billy and I were off again today. I just played chess to try and build up my logic skill. He wrote until he got stressed out and then he painted. He is a very proficient painter and has made half a dozen brilliant paintings now.



Kane worked on his garden and called to chat with a friend of his from school. Then he went by the reading room to improve his handiness because again we had to call a repairman to fix the shower. Kane did work at the spa today and then he went back by the reading room to learn more about repairing things. He has started the long, tedious task of upgrading the plumbing to be self-cleaning.



Kara jogged to the gym. She took along some apples to snack on and worked out for quite a while. She has decided that she'd like to be a master thief. She is a klepto, so I guess that makes sense. She bathed at the art gallery today after her work out and somehow managed to bring home an extra toilet for our house.




Monday... Today Kane got a promotion. I am so proud of him. He goes to school, works, takes care of his garden, and still has time for homework. Though, he really does need more fun. I wonder if I can convince him to quit his job.



Kara too went to work after school today. She didn't get as stressed out at school or work as Kane. She didn't get a promotion, but she is relatively happy with life and not so stressed out doing her homework as poor Kane.



Billy finished writing his book after work today. This drama sold for three times what his first one did, so that is great for him. He has now started a children's book titled Who? What? Why?



I didn't get promoted to the top of my career yet, but I am hopeful that tomorrow will be the day. After work today, I tried again to paint a portrait of Billy. I do hope I can get a nice painting finished before Billy is an elder.



We have lots of money now, so we can buy whatever we need. Kara and Kane have been doing their homework at the Wright Reading Room, so I guess it was past time to buy some book cases and a couple more desks. We also finally bought a bath tub. Now we just need to stop in at the grocery store and buy some bubble bath. (Billy already has a rubber ducky.)




Tuesday... I did a very happy dance today. I made it to the top and am a hit movie composer now. They gave me a stereo as an extra bonus. I guess that means we'll have a spare whenever one of the kids moves out. I, of course, continued to work on getting a good portrait of Billy.



Kane didn't have to work today, so he played a bit of chess and again worked in his garden. One of the toilets needed to be unclogged as well. It was the one that Kara managed to bring home from the art gallery earlier.



Kara stayed after school today to fix their boiler. She did get paid for it, but it put her in a lousy mood for work. She came home desperate for fun and still needed to do her homework. After school jobs are just not good for teens.



Billy has an opportunity to take 10 paintings to the office building where we earlier walked through the art show on display. Neither of us were that impressed with their show, so now Billy can make a difference. We have several paintings around the house now, so he just needs to paint a couple more.




Wednesday... Today both Kara and Kane quit their jobs. Kara came home to paint and Kane worked on his garden. Then he discovered a large white dwarf last night, which he named "Lawdy!"



Billy took the paintings over to the business building today and made quite a bit of money selling them. He had lots of brilliant paintings and one masterpiece. For myself, I am still creating average paintings and am trying once more to paint a decent portrait of Billy.



Billy finished his children's book and is now writing a humorous one titled Laughing at Life. When his mood got a bit sour from all that writing, I knew just how to make him happy again. Our marriage has turned out well, and I have no regrets.




Thursday... I created a decent portrait of Billy, but it is so dark! I ran out of time though. Today, Billy turned into an elder and retired from his law enforcement career. He'll just paint and write now.



Kane keeps busy in his garden twice a day. A couple of the plants are now barren, but he still gets lots of produce. Maybe he should sell some of that since we never use anything but the apples.



Kara worked out for a while today. She really likes to exercise. She also called up a couple guys that she knows. They are both young adults already, so maybe she should make friends with one of Kane's school mates.




Friday... Billy enjoyed his first day of retirement. He completed another masterpiece today. That makes three for him.



I am working hard trying to get one more raise before I too get older and retire. I need so much logic though and I haven't really concentrated on that. I was putting all my energy into my music and my art. Even if I don't get another raise though, it is nice having a stretch limo for transportation.



Kara managed to bring home a sink from the reading room today. Now our second bath is complete. Kane works on upgrading the plumbing since he plans to make science his career.
