Day Unknown: In Remembrance of a Dear Friend

It's been something like years since I've posted anything. I was hoping to have awesome drawings and wonderful stories to tell. If I wait for that to happen I'll never post again. Instead of waiting I'll ramble about what's been going on with me lately.

With my old computer I'd been working on Photoshop 5.5 (Yes I know, ancient stuff!). I was happy to receive Photoshop 7 from a friend. Unfortunately I didn't remember how evil Photoshop 7 was (colour blending is a pain) so I've reverted back to 5.5. Since I can't get my Photoshop to install on this computer I got out the duct tape and hammers and eventually rigged up something to work. Most people would have given up and bought a new version of Photoshop by now, but I'm too smart to spend so much money on one program (that and I'm too poor).

I'm now at 24 weeks and have gained 5 pounds. I haven't found out the gender of the baby yet. At 19 weeks we went in to check it out but the baby was being modest (the one time you don't want you kid to be modest!). The appointment was scheduled, then re-scheduled because the technician was sick. Friday I went in and the technician said she knew for sure what gender the baby was, but couldn't tell because of policy. Bah them. So I'll know at the end of the week.

I'm moving (again). I think this place will be a more permanent move. It's a nice big basement suite in Surrey. Really close to where Peter works. He'll be living the male dream of living 5 minutes from work. There is a Washer/Dryer room in suite, 2 bedrooms, and a nice big living area (one thing the other places didn't have). We have almost everything we have here, well except for one. I was so devastated about this I wrote a poem:

In Remembrance of a Dishwasher

Oh how I shall miss the way
you did the dishes every day.

I know, the level of my poetic skills is just amazing. I'm available for well-paid live readings, parties and Bar Mitzvahs.
