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.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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.)
Here's hoping mac has normal numbers next time, msbelle.
The baby slept badly last night (stuffy nose) so I slept badly last night. She started sobbing at 1 a.m. last night and the only thing that seemed to make her happy was going down to the playroom, where we played until about 2. Blessings on the Turks for inventing coffee.
