XI (Saturday 10th of Aug 1957. Cypress Community. New Orleans, United States of America)

The last four weeks have been tiring some. The deal I make with Ista and Louis was what make these last four weeks the worse.

The deal was if I wanted to go see Andrei after five, I would have to clean up Louis's house.

See, it all started when Andrei asks me to meet him at the park after five when I first try to meet up after my family been back in New Orleans for five days. I ask Ista and Louis. Ista was going to say no because I was still only six. But Luthor wants to see his only friends and ask to go to and say he would watch me like usual. I was surprised by what he said and wondering when he usually watches me. But before I could ask him about when he watches me, Louis says we could go if we clean his house. After he says that, Luthor asks if we can stay in Louis's house. That when Ista ask me why I want to meet up with Andrei when I saw him that very day.

I answer her by telling them that Andrei could not talk to me in the day and about giving him the bag of food, forgotten that I didn't ask their permission to give Andrei that bag of food. That's how I found out that the community only had food for the next two months. Evening knowing this the next day I still brought a bag of food for Andrei and his family, because Andrei looks at the bag of food like it was only the answer to his problem.

Louis brought the conversation back on track by asking me if the house was suitable enough for me and Luthor to stay in. I told him yes while feeling guilty that I will be shorting the community food supplies for the nagging feeling to help Andrei. We settled the conversation like that with me and Luthor cleaning up Louis's house for permission to see our friends.

The next day Luthor and I when to Louis's house and start cleaning it.

We start with tearing down the wooden board on all the windows and two doors for the housing part of the house.

Because the housing part of the house starts on the second level of the three-level house it was hard to give the wood off the windows.

When we were done cleaning the housing part of the house we stop for the day. The next day we start in the first level of the building, which makes up the two garages that function as the furniture shop and mechanic shop.

The two garages were ok for the most part, the only problems that need to be fixed were wiping everything off and airing out the building.

When we when back home to tell Istas and Louis we were done at the end of the week. Istas and Louis want to see how good we did. Seeing that we did a great job, they make cleaning up all the other houses, while the other member of the community rebuilds the community. So what I and Luthor did for the next three weeks. When I was not cleaning meeting up with Andrei, he makes sure to wear the clothes I give him every time we meet up. On the day before yesterday, the President sent out the news that the help will be getting here on the eleventh.

But that something for another day, today is for celebrating my brother's Luthor birthday.

Unlike usual where we have colorful streamers drone around the area of the party, picnic tables full of different types of food such as bison pot roast with hominy, roasted turnips, and winter squash with agave glaze, a dancing area with the joyful music playing in the background, and a kid area full of a different game for them to play, While everyone wears there most nice and colorful clothes to celebrate somebody birthday.

But today Luthor's birthday was not as fun and happy as usual. Instead of doing what we usually do we only give him the today off of doing everything and make a little more food for him.
