Week 4: The Grind
Back to: Week 3: Birthdays Next: Week 5: Kane's Birthday
Sunday... Today I went out collecting stones, seeds, and a zebra butterfly at the old stone circle. I sold all the stones except for a luminorous one. I also sold the butterfly, which was quite a money maker. The seeds I kept for a garden some day.



With the money, we were able to buy a bed for Kane who grew into a child today. He has turned into a perfectionist like me, but thinks he'd like to be an author like his dad wants to be. He went to the reading room for awhile today and then by the gallery to paint.



Billy also went to the reading room today. He wanted to question some people so he could write some reports. Unfortunately, he isn't charismatic enough. Not one of the three people he tried to question was happy about it. So, Billy worked on his writing skills.



Monday... Despite not getting very far with his reports, Billy was still promoted today. It was reading the leadership book that must have made the difference. He has now joined the forensic branch and gets his own laptop. He'll be able to write at home now.



When Billy returned from work and Kane got home from school, I had to head out to the theatre. It works out well that we don't need a babysitter, but I do miss some quality time with my guys. I didn't quite get that extra guitar skill I needed, so I didn't get a promotion even though I did work hard. Oh well, there is always tomorrow.



Billy helped Kane with homework. Then he made another painting and worked on his writing skills. The kids played with the doll house together for awhile. They are the best of friends now. (That doll house was worth every simolean.)



Tuesday... Today I did get to practice my guitar, and I went by and dropped off some paperwork for the band. At work, I met another musician. Everything went well for me and I was promoted to a talent scout. I'll have the next couple of days off so I can work on my guitar skills even more and get to know this other musician.



Billy had a really stressful day at work. I don't think he is cut out for forensics. He also had a hard time writing tonight. He said that he wants to get a bath tub to help soak away the stress. A nice bath tub is over 2,000 simoleans! We plan to add-on a bedroom or two to the house next, so relaxing in a tub will have to wait.



Our little genius, Kane, declared that he wanted a science career. This is after we bought a telescope today and he discovered an orange dwarf that he named Odie. Well, I hope that he can create robot creatures okay; but I worry that, because he is clumsy, this might not be the best career choice. What's a mom to do though? We have to offer encouragement and think positively, right?



Wednesday... Billy had a much better day today. He came home in a good mood after getting promoted. He went through a couple garbage cans digging up evidence tonight. The only thing he found worth keeping was a mood candle, but he wrote up a couple reports.



I went to the Reading Room tonight and ended up bringing back another chair. It doesn't match the other one though as this one is a lounge chair and the other was a dining room chair. Still it is another comfortable chair.



We added-on three bedrooms and another bath today. Now our front room looks empty. It is nice to have separate bedrooms though.


Thursday... Today I didn't even leave the house. With another day off, my guitar skills improved. I have a book to read for work that I should get to tomorrow.



Poor Kara was so ready to grow up. She has nothing exciting to do. She played with her brother at the doll house for awhile because she really needed social and I was so busy practicing that I didn't spend much time with her. Billy, too, was busy as he is trying to finish my portrait.



Friday... Today we celebrated another birthday. Thank goodness that Kara is now a child. She is both easily impressed and over emotional. She is, however, athletic so maybe she can channel some of her emotions into worth-while pursuits. We bought her a running machine that she can't use yet and a stereo, which she can.



Billy is just awesome. He got another promotion. Now he is a sketch artist. His artistic capability has worked well with his career choice. He also finished my portrait. It's not too bad.



I finally read that book for work while home alone today. Reading about herding cats was even interesting. I almost had another skill learned on my guitar, so I kept at it even though I was a bit late for work. I wanted to get to know Shirley Lin better, so I chilled with the musicians for awhile when I did get to work. Then, I really started working hard and I too got another promotion. Now I am in the symphony!



Saturday... Billy attended an artistic retreat at the bookstore. He really enjoyed himself. The kids went to the reading room and read a bit while he was in the retreat because I, of course, was working.



I didn't have enough time to gain more music skill before work; so even though I worked hard, I did not get a promotion today. I was a bit down about it, but Billy reminded me that I just had a promotion yesterday. It was just that I was so close. Oh well, I'll enjoy my time off and work on my music and painting tomorrow.
