Can I go home now?

Yes.

I started to fall asleep on the couch at 9:30 last night and got myself up and to bed. Fell asleep about 45 minutes later (which is good for me). Woke up at 3:30, but fell back asleep within 15 minutes.

Had a sad moment when I realized today was Thursday after thinking it was Friday.

So, I am getting Girl Scouts off the ground at school and, oy. One of the potential leaders wants to back out because of the registration fee ($12). I told her we had troop funds for that and her time and effort was worth so much more. I may have to pay her registration myself, but god damn it. She is youngish, has 3 kids and I think doesn't work and lives with her mother. The just-released American Community Survey reports that 39% of the children in my city live below the poverty level. I hate that I know people for whom $12 a year to be a Girl Scout is a hardship.

Oh Erin, I wish. That would be the AWESOME. sadly, mac would not allow someone to step in and then there is this pesky work that I have to do. diamond shoes and all.

I will get you some research to do though.

You just don't want me to get a job -- you are no longer THE NICEST!!

I think today I am going to try to organize the massive piles of paperwork stuff on the shelves by the front door. It's become kind of a catch-all area, and I am a little afraid of it!

Also going to make some calls for my friend's wedding, so I will get some stuff to do.

I could also do basement stuff, but I really want Dan to help with that, since it's messes from before I lived here, and I am a wee bit resentful of cleaning them up by myself.

oh, sad now: RIP Tony Curtis.

The insomnia fairy was at my house too, and when I got out of bed around 1, I discovered my roof was leaking. That was certainly conducive to sleep.

I wonder if there are any roofers who barter.

I fell asleep on the sofa last night. Despite that I had a fairly good night's sleep but I did wake up ridiculously early and rather hungry as I hadn't eaten any supper.

My back is still bothering me but is much, much better.

Also, I think that there couldn't be too many scenes of the male lead from Undercovers wandering around in his underpants.

Mac had blood drawn yesterday and the dr. just called me - some results are not in normal range and he wants the tests re-done. Good thoughts for a second draw to be smooth with mac and also for this to be nothing medically wrong.

Up at 6:30 with a frisky Avon. Tried supervised free play this morning with Kripkat but that ended after about 40 mins when KK tried to give Avon a piece of his mind. Now locked in office with frisky kitten.

Blood-ma, msbelle!

(That sounds...odd.)
