A New Day!

Let's start the day off with a PayPal donation link:


This Morning
At midnight Cathy called to say Noah had a horrible nose bleed and needed to be taken to the ER but they got it under control. At 8:15 the call came again and he is off to Children's Hospital. Poor guy doesn't deserve it.

I have tasked myself with plumbing today. Unfortunately, to get my tools that may require a digression into cleaning the garage some. That act is so overwhelming and depressing to me that I find it debilitating. Tools that I took such loving care of have rust and are out of other. Items that I would have never allowed to be left to be weathered are unprotected in the driveway. The buildout in the garage is incomplete. The garage represents all my failings with chaos (lack of control), unfinished tasks (irresponsibility), negligence (lack of caring), pack ratting (the inability to let go), and unstarted projects (fear).

Last Night
Sent Amy to the grandparents. Sent Cathy, Sarah, and Noah to the zoo. So Tommy and I went with a good friend of mine to see "I, Robot" (trailer) Fantastic movie! You completely forget that you are watching special effects. Well done! I needed the stress break greatly. It was also the first movie I've been too in a long time where I didn't have to escort someone to the bathroom :) Tommy was on exceptional behavior with only one loud outburst during the movie, "What did he say?"

I would say I slept alone last night if it weren't for the cat and dog that joined me on the bed. Surprising and somewhat disappointing, Lucy, our older dog didn't come downstairs until morning when she needed to be let out.
