I don't know about the "more effort" part. Here it can be a nasty and drawn out battle to get things paid for.

Oh, I meant the scheduling appointments and making sure things get done aspect - not the payment aspect. Again, very different model.

But what's really important is lots and lots of ~ma to your mother, Shir, and to your whole family.

Thank you.

Now, shower, maybe a bit of TV, and back to my seminars. Been a long, stressful day.

awww ... hand-feeding a baby bat. His name's Lil' Drac. He rocks.

plumbers are gone. sinus headache is back. yay?

Mr Peabody expressed his general dissatisfaction by his first shoe theft in months. I found a shoe that was in the bedroom out in the yard.

I'm kind of afraid of my living room--please tell me this won't last.

{{{erika}}} It will get better.

I just exerted way too much effort to get way too little done today. Back out to look at more houses tonight. I hope they don't suck.

Pix and Drew I'm so sorry for your loss of Byron.

beth and Matt I'm sorry for you loss. Peace and comfort to you.

I skimmed so I'm not sure what else I missed. My computer has been a pain and I had to send it down to Will's son to see if he could fix it (he tried some stuff and we're not sure if it's fixed). Basically I'm online and part of the computer knows I'm online but another part doesn't and so sometimes it won't bring up webpages or anything even though sites can be pinged.

And Dean ran away (which y'all saw on Beep Me). I'm rather numb

On the other hand Penny has double fangs on one side of her mouth. It's weird and kinda cool.

The only good thing is Will is taking Wednesday off so he's coming up tomorrow after work and spending the night. This year has been pretty good for me except the last couple of weeks which seriously just suck.

askye, just awful. I hope he comes home soon.

askye, I hope Dean finds his way home. Go back where it's safe and warm, Dean!

Also, my sincere condolences to Matt and to Pix. This week is getting off to a sad start.
