I'm Here.

Ya...

I'm here. I'm on land, I'm in NY, I'm ON LINE!

I have a few things to do, but I will say this.

My uncle came for us early on Tuesday morning. We weren't the only ones at the air port like I thought we were going to be. It turned out to be a busy flight day. Our fight was early, and it was just by luck we got there in time.

We got to San Juan earlier because the fight showed up early, and then we thought that we had to check in our luggage in for or next flight despite the fact that it wasn't until 5pm that afternoon and it was just like what? 11am? Oh, we got our temp green cards before we got out luggage. It didn't take anywhere near the length of time we were told. It was maybe 30 mins?

We found a luggage storage space just before we checked in, so we could go out and check out some of the island. Our problem was that we forgot that nothing is near an airport and being in a Spanish speaking place, we couldn't get to where we wanted to go, and didn't know how easily it was going to be to get back in time to check in for or next flight.

So we didn't go anywhere, and just walked around the place. This put a strain on us after a while. Jhodie and I hadn't slept since Monday night. I walked around because I couldn't sit on the floor in my skirt, unlike Jhodie and Nika who wore pants,and I left Jhodie combing Nika's hair. When I came back they were both asleep. Nika out on the floor with her head on Jhodie's leg, and Jhodie with her fingers just at the end of one of the plats on Nika's head.

We ate something at McDonald's, and that helped to keep me awake, but at 3pm we decided to get a porter to get our stuff our stuff from storage for checking in. To get them there it was $6, to take them to check it was $9 I think. The storage was $19 or so, I'm not sure. It wasn't all for nothing, we couldn't have been walking around with them for all that time, but get this, after the whole scanning and checking in and passing though the detectors after standing in a very long line, we found more stuff on the other side for us to look at and such. Thinking back we should have checked in earlier, if for nothing more then for sitting in a chair. There are no chairs to sit in before you check in for your flight. I just took a nap, I needed it, and we got some things to snack on, and Nika got in trouble with Jhodie, near the end of our waiting time.

Jhodie and I had a lot of naps on the plane to NJ. We had a nice "dinner" and we were once again mentally upset at people who just threw away food. There was the fight that most of the passengers had with the dripping AC and the very cold temp of the aircraft. Jhodie was cold, I was cramped and Nika... was Nika. Nika didn't have many naps, and was cranky near end of the flight and when we were at the air port waiting for Phillys. That name you be seeing a lot of now. A new player.

I called the apt to tell mommy that we were here and to find out how long ago Phillys left to come get us. She was suppose to come get us with her friend who had a van. It cost me $1 to call, and she left an hour ago. She didn't show up anytime soon. It was over an hour before she found us, and without her friend and his van.

We then had to pay for a taxi to take us and our stuff to Brooklyn. If she had come for us in the van we would have found her waiting for us outside. It took maybe an hour if that long to get to the apt. I'm guessing 50 mins.

We got home around 1:20am or so and mommy had some salt fish and johnny cakes for us. We didn't eat as much as she expected. I may just have some tonight before I go to bed.

Either which way, I was told that I would be staying in the room with my mom and her friend. She is a lady from the church who is staying here while she sorts out a house that she is getting, or something like that.

Phillys is just a pain. I'm sure I made some complainants about her when she visited us in St. Kitts and it really hasn't changed, and may have even gotten worst.

Now I'm starting to feel hungry. Well we are here, and I'm letting people know that I'm here, and I'm ok, and things should be getting back to normal, at least my on line life, very soon.

I should be eating if not sleeping now. It's now 12:07 and Jhodie and Phillys just got back from the gym.

Night.

Less then 24 hours

Hi everyone.

I've been cleaning and washing and sleeping and trying to download a few things, and get a few things fixed, and saying good bye to a few people. My Uncle just had one of his last stabs at using me for computer help.

We are just about done with the cleaning up of the house. There will be small things left undone, but they will be small all but two. One, the guy never came back for the last pick up of stuff to throw out, so there are bags of trash and one old mattress out in our  cleaned up yard waiting for pick up. It's looking like we will have to leave the money with Little Ray to pay someone to come and take them out after we are gone.

He said that he will be moving in on the Saturday. The other slightly big thing that we didn't get done was washing the small carpet/rug for the living room for the baby to more or less live on. We were going to do it last night, and let it dry until we left, but we couldn't find our scrub brush, and by the time we got one, it was too late.

My mother put a request in for banana leaves yesterday to go long with the other things she wanted us to bring up for her. Jhodie doesn't think that she will be able to fine any Manseport. It's a fruit. A big one that you aren't suppose to eat at night they say.

But she is off the get the breadfruit. We have the four kinds of tea leaves. We are hoping that no one stops us at the airport thinking that the "Worm Grass" is weed. That will take up way too much time. The coconut water and jelly, seem like they don't want to completely freeze. I think that there was something else, but I can't remember what it is right now.

I do remember that Phillys wants us to bring her some $1 bread, ten cents bread and cheese. I don't know. The bread I kinda understand, but why the cheese? Either which way, we are getting her the $15 can.

We are suppose to take down our line and put the palm tree there, but I don't know if we will get to it. We are repacking, or just packing our stuff today, and doing the last bits of cleaning up, and maybe doing a pasta bake.

Last night we were up until 4:25am or so mopping and patch the living room floor with new flooring. Jhodie let me sleep a bit longer than she did, but that was because someone called and woke her up at 8am. I may have to make the pasta bake as she digs up her tree and line post.

Well, right now I'm trying to find a way to get my scanner to work again. I had a small OS crash and did and odd reinstall and I lost alot of registry information and made a few things odd.

I ran out of money on my phone as I was talking to Hema over in Nevis on Friday, and every since I've been getting text messages from the phone company filling up my inbox telling me that I have no money on my and to please add more money. Every time I empty it, they fill me up again. So I'm leaving it on full until I add on $5 so I could send Hema my phone number in NY. I would add less if I could, but they won't let you add less then $5 to your phone.

I did get one real message. I have to go see about that. It's some kind of online message. Someone doesn't know that I don't have internet anymore.

Well I have leave soon. I have to be back at the house before 4pm because the new girl at work wanted to come and plat my hair for me, and I just got around to washing my hair today, and I have to grease it.Jhodie asked me to do a few things and I want to get them done before she gets back.

I have a  things to look up before I head back over. The house turned out to be rather empty on a windy set of days, it's nice.

I still don't feel like I'm leaving, I hits me now and again when I help pack a suitcase, but it just seems unfair that little Ray gets a nicely mended floor. I hope that they don't have issues getting cable for the house.

Lynn was by the other day and "stole" something that was for uncle ray. We told her that she couldn't have it because it was for him, and she took it anyway. The only way we even knew it was missing was because Uncle ray came looking for it, and we couldn't find and we called her to ask her where she put it when we was over here. She then told us she took it. I hope she send it's back like she said she would, or Uncle ray may find himself over there taking it back himself.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ARESH.  You don't know him. He is having a birthday today. At first, I thought I was going to be there for it, but it turns out that I'm going to miss it by a day.

I don't think I can think of much else to say now. Well hours and counting I  guess. Best wishing and good karma sending would be nice.

See ya.

quicky

write down your passwords and such. My uncle lost his and now he can't get into his accounts and we can't get into any of them. Shame..


Count down.... one week and 3 days then I'm in NY again.

First the days were normal, then I had two slow ones, and now I have one work day left.

Got to go.

count down

hello.
 
Lets see.
 
I haven't washed any dishes, that is going to take up some time when I have to do it.
 
We are trying to get the yard cleared this week, but Jhodie is having a hard time trying to get in contact with the person we were given the number of who has a rather large truck. We have cut down a lot of the big bushes and such getting ready for this.
 
The lady that I'm mostly working with is saying that my boss is going to miss me when I'm gone. She told me this after I working out and stacked boxes of mac and cheese for a display all by myself. Not that I really had a choice since there was no one else around who had time to help me.
 
The store is getting a new coat of paint on the outside. I would like to say that they did it because it was about time, but it's because of some manager that coming down my boss is cleaning and fixing up the place for when he gets here. I'm not even sure if I'm going to be here when he shows up. I have want to, just to see how it is, and on the other hand I don't want to be there in case anything goes really wrong.
 
Well I have less than two weeks left at this job. I know it, but I'm not acting or feeling all that different. Did I say something like that when I was leaving Clear Harbour?? I don't remember.
 
Well other sister wants me to start college when I get back. I can't work first because of how FinAid is set up. I have be really broke, get FinAid, then a few months in, get a part time job. If that works out, then I may be state hopping to see my friends come summer next year.
 
Well my lunch break is just about up.
 
Should I or shouldn't I spell check??
 
I might chance it.

quickly

Hi ya.
 
I'm on my lunch break. I already had lunch. Tuna Sandwich and a mauby. I was thinking that I was going to end up paying for a saltfish sandwich, but I was lucky and didn't have to spend that much. So I'm at the cafe.
 
Thursday we the island was with out power for 11 hours. Lost it at 7 am and got it back at 11pm. It was the day I was going to go on line too. It was also the day that the lady that I was "helping" with her homework came and got me to do something for her. I didn't get it done, and for how it's going, I don't think, that I will be able to do that last part of it. For one, they have started to teach them Java script. When did I learn Java Script??? She is the one how has the week to learn the material and such. I'm given what? 2 hours to do something that she had a week if not more to learn with examples and such.
 
We got the money from mommy's Social Security. It was a bit more then we thought it was going to be. So first we felt rich, then we got a few things, now we are going to get the yard cleared out. Finally.
 
I gave my boss my 3 week notice on Saturday, and he was surprised that I was leaving so soon. He told me to remind him a week before I leave.
 
Yesterday we went to the beach and we too pics. One of the things we are doing with the money. Buying film and developing some film. If it was a digital I would be showing you where I've been going every Sunday for like a month and a half now. This week it wasn't that great, and we ended up leaving a bit early. Good thing too. As we were leaving, Boys with a bunch of dogs came down. They came in groups of 2 and 3 and 4's. I forgot how they almost ruined it for us last week.
 
Well we had a down pour the day before, and it seemed to have, rearranged the beach, it was almost like it was a different beach. At least we had cloud cover for the time we were there.
 
I so miss having Internet at home.
 
Well, I've spent $4.50 on here, would like to make it off without owing $5.  It's 24cents a min.
 
Well take care. I'll try and come back next week.
 
I do check my mail a bit more then blog.
 
Bye.
 
Oh, Music Festival is this month in like two weeks. Check out he St. Kitts links I have to learn more.
 
Bye.
