Save me from teenaged boys who don't do their homework and then get pissed when they lose privileges and still have to do the homework, no matter how dumb they think that work is. Dude, you have a zero in that class. I don't care if he asked you to color every page in a color book to write a 50 page essay. Get. It. Done. And no, I don't care that you don't have school tomorrow. Get. It. Done.
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

Went to look at some cabinets someone in the neighborhood was getting rid of. They would have been perfect...except they were 1.25" too wide. Sigh.

Some productivity has happened, although the drawing I spent about 2 hours on needs to be scrapped. Argh. Well, at least I got started on it?
Now I'm thinking it might be good for my sanity if I got myself out of the house.

Because books.
GET OUT OF THE HOUSE. That's what I'm doing in a little while, and I couldn't need it more.
I made a labor-intensive homemade devil's food cake to take to my parents' house later, but I'm worried it's not going to be cool enough to ice before we have to leave.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Aw, Anne. I do think feeling bad physically can make you feel bad mentally as well.
I, otoh, went up the Eiffel Tower today! Exciting.

I'd love to get out of the house but the boy is finally gone and I'm enjoying a bit of quiet. We had quite the argument before his dad picked him up.

Anne, keep in mind it has been a long, cold winter, and that just gets to you. I've not been feeling too badly, and I still have to fight the desire to sleep all the time.
I, otoh, went up the Eiffel Tower today! Exciting.
Dying.

Aw, Eiffel Tower! That's awesome.

Oooh! Eiffel Tower does sound awesome!
I have returned from my outing. I picked up some tomato soup and a couple of baskets. The baskets will be used to hide the Pile of Modems and Routers that live in the corner. I am not a fan of visible electronics, so having those tidied away will make me happy.
