These changes

Antonio has been more affectionate towards me, I wonder what caused this change? I'm not complaining of course, but I am curious. Before he would work for hours in his studio, only speaking to me over dinner regarding the children, but now...he's searching for me and leading me to corners of the house to be affectionate. Backrubs and caresses and much more. He even gifted me with a box of deluxe chocolates. The same kind I noticed in the window during our walk.

Last few days

The boys are trying to enjoy the heated pool before winter sinks its claws into the hood. The air is a lot cooler and there is the occasional snow flurry in the air. I am thinking about installing a fireplace...to be honest, I saw photos of the ancestoral Herendez home from TS1 days and it was an amazing house. I loved the stucco and large yard and fruit trees. I'll have to talk to Antonio about that. We could either do a very massive remodel or move into another house. I would like to do it soon, either right after Verde's birthday or before.

Changing Feelings

I've been seeing my wife in a new light. Maybe father was right about growing into love. At first I saw Carmela as someone to bear my children and manage the household, but now...now I seek her out for dicussions on art and the businesses we run. Maybe because of her involvement with the hood council...maybe because we're getting older...maybe because we're itching for another child. We're thinking about adopting a little girl from Hacienda Bay, we'll see how that goes.

Thinking

I toured the Medical Centre today, overseeing the facility and thinking about any changes I would make if I won the election. Expand the gift shop probably to increase traffic, create more exam rooms and get rid of the rehabilitation room. Let some other resident open a gym instead.

Hard Gallery Work

It's hard work supplying the work for the gallery. I need to find another artist to help fill the shelves and walls. Right now customers come to view historical finds from the island and occasionally buy artwork or place orders for photographs, but I think if I had another artist's work to add, then I could focus on my paintings more and not so much on getting lower quality work out there. Thank goodness for the salon and the clothing boutique, they are making a bit of money at least.
