Killing Dinosaurs

Soon it will be March. Next week it will be March. It won't be the beginning of my beautiful trip. I think I'm going to puke.

Trying to divert my mind, I'll keep up the writing and tell you of my mediocre day. I woke up repeatedly until my mind was like "Ash. It's 1:30. You're not tired anymore. This is ridiculous." I had a dream of something like a test... I think I was supposed to kill three times. Anyway, the last one was a dinosaur. And all I had was a fork, spoon, and butter knife. I was like wtf do I do? and the dinosaur told me to put the knife through the forks of the...fork and bend the spoon? and throw it like a boomerang. (I don't know, it was a dream.) But I did it and it failed miserably and now I didn't even have anything and he knew that it would fail and advanced upon me to kill me but somehow I guess I still had something and then the dinosaur wasn't really the image of a dinosaur for some reason and I put the sharp thing through the corner of his eye into his brain slowly and with squelching noises and it was pretty gross but that's what you gots to do in order to survive. The End. I also had a dream of telling people about this dream.

My grandkids pretty much woke me up and immediately asked if they could come in and play my instruments. I think they are using me for my instruments. But I feel a connection finally with the kids because my Spanish is so bad and they are young. Their Spanish is better than mine, but I also speak like a child, so in this we're equals. Nico loves my ukulele (I just realized I've been spelling it wrong this whole time. I feel like such a schmuck) and Pepe likes the harmonica. Little Diego is still the cutest, but that's just because he's four. They're all very good looking kids. The three darker ones of my madre's son all have such long eyelashes!! I finally got some pictures of they're cuteness playing my uke the other day. Adorbs.

I talked with Ezer/Roboam for 30 minutes. I told him that Roboam, according to Wikipedia, had 18 wives, 60 concubines, and 88 children. Was there anything he needed to tell me? Anyway, he told me what his mom said about me: "sencilla" "simpatica" "agradable" I guess that's all good. I was hoping for a "maravillosa" or "hermosa" or even "radiante", but I guess "nice" will have to do. ;)
