Sunday: Well it seems I spent my entire day fixing stuff. I will have to admit I had a massive freakout but I am doing ok now. It wasnt the first and probably wont be the last but I had to get it out of my system to get everything done. I had to repair the dishwasher, the washing machine, the tv and to unclog the toilet. I did manage to convince Columbus to go outside long enough to stick three seeds in the ground. He ran back inside when done ever so quickly.
Monday: I was asked to check on an equipment order today, by a co-worker. Its being held up by red tape. I will see if I cant convince someone in the can do department to get this cleared up. I was promoted to resident today! St Patrick's birthday was today. Its a good thing because I could never get him to do his homework. He was making a D-. I am afraid that even a single day more in school would have dropped it to a failing grade. Now that he is an adult I hope he will start contributing to the house. He did however exhibit a strange new phobia today. Someone broke the tub while I was at work, St Patrick was totally freaked out by it. I mean massive hydrophobic here. I asked him what he wanted to do with his life and he muttered something about being a "jack of all trades" before disappearing into the basement. I was so tired I decided to leave fixing the tv and tub until tmr.
Tuesday: I was on call and got called in for an emergency at one in the morning. By the time I got done with that it was almost time for work. I stopped to get a bite to eat at a local cafe then headed to work. I didnt have time to go to the junkyard but Columbus did and snagged another couch. I fixed the tub and tv. I am actually getting pretty good at this fixing thing. Which is a good thing because in the morning I had to fix the toilet.
Wednesday: I fixed the toilet and ate breakfast. I went to work then after work I tried to track down the problem with the equipment. It was late when I got home. On the plus side Columbus's plants are doing well. Columbus is doing so well in school. It is nice to see him helping his siblings with homework. He helped July 4th with her homework even though she is almost ready to graduate and he has just recently started school.
Thursday I went early to see what the problem with the equipment order is and found out two rival council members had chosen it as their own private battleground. I went to work and reported my findings to by boss. Meanwhile back at home Columbus for some odd reason decided he needed to come home after being at school only an hour to put the laundry in the dryer. Needless to say that did not go over well. I also got a call from the social worker today about Halloween. I called Columbus and asked him to talked to her after school. He spent almost two hours talking to her and I think things are better with her. I asked him to send her to bed early and I would help her with her homework in the morning before school. I decided to stop by the junkyard on the way home and found a wondrous discovery - A BED!!!! It needed cleaning but even so I am grateful.
Friday I was up by 3 to get Halloween her breakfast and to tutor her. Its hard to believe that this child is a genius we worked on her homework until almost noon - making her late to school and me late to work but we got it done. Today was also July 4ths Birthday. She did graduate with a C. She also announced she wanted to become an Astronaut. When did she get to be so dramatic? One of Halloween's friends came over after school and when he left - he forgot his guitar.
SIMMER NOTE: I am giving up this family. The main sim never spins up wants for the "insanity" things like coming inside for "hates outdoors" or washing her hands or checking the stove. All the little wants like these have been missing. It took forever to get her up to the 20,000 and that was mostly from repairing objects around the house or washing dishes. She is getting old and without using life extenders; I do not see that this challenge will be completed before she dies. I am writing this one up as a failure. I will redo it at a later date. For my followers (if any) Thank you for your time and stay tune for more insanity in the future.
