So I sent Menes to France for a day with 10 Deathfish from Riverview in his pocket. When he got back home, they were gone. Ugh.

14. Hatshepsut - Death to Papparazzi!We now have two old guys wandering around the house all day. Gramps still works at the Bistro, of course, but that's only three days a week, and only for four hours at a time. Pops paints and sculpts almost all day long, in the same room he always did, and Mom still sits at her computer, typing away at her Masterpiece.
Quite a bit has happened, but I've been too busy to write anything down until now. Where do I start?
Bobo tried to fix the dishwasher one day, I have no idea why, but he ended up getting a shock and set the freaking house on fire! I was the only one who kept a cool head long enough to put the fire out,
before Pops had the sense of mind to call the fire department. Yeah, a bunch of men jumping around freaking out, and I have to be the one to fix it.
But uh... we all know a woman who looks like this can take care of her family.
Mom finally finished her Masterpiece! It took her a long, long time, but she feels great now. It's called "The Quest for Immortality", but, then again, all of her books are about our family, I think.
Of course, a tottering little toddler became a crazy child.
How can I tell he's insane? He got into a fight with the dresser... But he's a good looking kid. He insists on wearing glasses all the time, but I doubt he
really needs them. Oh well, whatever makes him happy!
As soon as he got up the next morning (it was the weekend), he tackled the inventing table Gramps bought and put in the basement.
He likes to invent in his good suit. Again, my baby is insane, but I still love him.
Pops has been getting a little stir crazy lately, I guess it happens when you work at home. So when he decided to take a tour of City Hall (bad idea by the way, everyone else passed out on the front step afterwards), he was swarmed by fans. See Pops? That's what happens when you hermit yourself away for weeks upon weeks.
[There were a bunch of other people there, just didn't get them in the shot, I thought it was hilarious since he never leaves the house]
As for the title of this entry? I was starting to meditate. I'd supermaxed my Athletic ability (when you don't get worn out anymore, what else do you do?), so I figured I'd try what I'd been putting off for a long, long time. Of course, I try to do it inside (Gramps keeps thinking about putting a giant fence up around the property) because of the Papparazzi constantly hovering around, but sometimes you can't always have it the way you want it. I can at least Zeniport now!
And yes, I'm just
that amazing.
Well anyway, two days in a row, while the dumb Papparazzi hovering around, Grim came to visit. We thought he was coming for Mom, thank goodness he wasn't!
Pops managed to get his long sought-after portrait of Grim, at least! He thought it was a nice tribute to Grandma. She tried getting a portrait of him a few times, but it just never worked out for her.
And immediately afterward, Grim hurried into our museum and stood, staring at Pops' pieces that are there. I'm fairly certain he knows what's going on, but only he knows what he thinks about it all.
In other news, Bobo has been promoted again and again at work, and so far, loving this outfit of his.
Ramses is doing really well in school! But the insane little boy insists on running around the house a lot of the time singing (very badly, I might add) "Raaaaaamseeeeeeessssss! The man in gauze, the man in gauze!" I have no idea why, and frankly, I'm a little scared to ask.

...cookies to anyone who knows what his singing is from. Ohyes.
