Tivo keeps suggesting Flashpoint for me. I should watch, huh?

My sis-in-law just texted to let me know the visitation for Dave's grandma went well today. I have very mixed emotions about not being there, but I do feel like we made the best call we could. But I'm glad it was good. Funeral is tomorrow.

YAY! no bed bugs is something to celebrate.

Day 3 of school done and I cried for my entire 30 minute commute home. Which, actually, has made me feel 10% better. I'm still pretty angry, though.

I did, however, get Noah enrolled in afterschool care ($505 per month. Ugh) so that feels like a win.

Angry crying after day 3 is no good! I'm sorry.

Oh ugh, Kat. That's no good.

Unlike, of course, lack-of-bedbugs!

I'm learning all about tarsiers and IFG! They are so fucking cute, I can see how there is a (fairly unsuccessful, they die) pet trade in them. Cause really: [link]

I should watch, huh?

Yeah, you should. Any show that casts Enrico Colantoni as the chief badass, Hugh Dillon as a prime badass, Amy Jo Johnson as pound for pound the baddest badass...it's pretty thoughtful for a SWAT-type show, but still SWATty. They're a little obvious with their 1 gender 1 ethnic minority representation, but hey! Representation. So there you go.

Kat, I'm so sorry you're angry.

I am taking a tip from LeN and packing Visine. In case.

What was really awesome, though, is someone I worked Close Up 3 years ago sent me a surprise box with the most beautiful pysanky and knit scarf. Made my day 1000% better.

The egg: [link]

It's always lovely to be remembered for what you do. Especially on days that what you do makes you cry.

Aww, that's nice, Kat. Sorry for the angry day! Teaching should not be like this.

Go afterschool care, though! Although yipes on the price tag. I cannot afford children.

And ooh, there's the rain, finally! And I got everything done I wanted to, except finish the deck, which will require more supplies than I currently have because, eww, mouse droppings potentially carrying disease! I'm pretty sure they don't have hanta, what with me not being dead already, but it's still pretty yuck, so the final deck clean-up will have to wait until tomorrow.

But I think I am going to make it all the way through my to-do list today! WTF? I don't remember that ever happening before. It involved me rescheduling some things, but, hey, that counts. Anyway, all I have left for today is the entryway, and the microwave.

Tomorrow I've got the cars, the guestroom, grocering and the studio. I'd like to get the studio in really awesome shape, both so that the SO can enjoy it, but also so he can show it off to the guy he's been touring with.

Ooh, which reminds me, I need to get the studio monitors back from the electronica guy who borrowed them over the summer. Wonder if I have his number? Better swing by the coffeeshop tomorrow I guess.
