Too Much to Say, Bleah

There's been plenty to say over the last few weeks, but I haven't said most of it. Going thru a tired faze. Problems sleeping have cropped up again (I should keep a diary and see if there's a pattern). Took time off work to teach art classes to kids at the local art center. Argh. Too wide of an age range (this week it's 8 to 15). Bored teens, antsy&whiney younger kids. Don't follow direction, class progress all over the place. Why am I doing this? Too many projects started and not finished around the house. Keeping an eye on Chatham. I took him to the Vet to be weighed - thank goodness he's gained half a pound (he was 10.1 pounds last November, 8.8 in March, but back up to 9.2 now. He got to ride in his new "booster seat" that I got him for his birthday. Started to "hydrate" him last night, Nod saw a bug coming thru the hose (how the HECK did it get in there? probably sterilized along with the fluid in the bag, but YUCK!). Had to get a new bag of fluid this morning. Nod and the Girls are in Baltimore today - it started to rain here, hope it isn't there. They'll be bringing me back Cheesecake Factory cheesecake (but it makes me want to call Schwartz's ... for my own self!!). The Girls will be leaving for Mexico on July 3; had them do a pre-pack so that they can figure out what we need to get. Ordered Nod a "Soul Patrol" T-shirt from DonkeyT's.com, too long to get here, then I realized that the website didn't have a phone number, they weren't answering emails, finally threatened to file a grievance with PayPal, FINALLY heard back from them, they said that they've been having email problems (email came from a different ISP) and well I can certainly relate to that. The T was for Father's Day, had to just tell Nod about it, and it arrived today anyway. Eli from DonkeyT's rushed another one out, what do you want to bet that a second shipment will arrive tomorrow? The water is off on our street - a work crew has the street torn up a few houses down, plus they're flushing a fire hydrant. No water for the house, but a flood going down the street.

Well, is that enough rambling for one sitting?
