One of those days.

What does this font look like? I don't know.

Okay, first I need to promise that I was in a happy and cheerful mood this weekend. Being around a zillion dogs is starting to get to me, especially since there has been so much rain. My house seriously STINKS. But I have a plan (of course). I'm going to somehow get a hold of a steam cleaner and purify the carpets after the extra dogs leave.

I did actually get to go to practice on Sunday - a good thing. I also convinced the holder of the pictures that emailing them to me in JPG format would make my day. She didn't get around to it until evening, but at least she did send them!

Now for today.

I woke up with a headache. Actually, my day starts long before that. First of all, Josh was snoring so loudly!!! And around 2, the dogs suddenly got all restless. Around 3, Abbie wandered into my bedroom. After she was asleep again, I put her back, only to discover that Dixie was sleeping on Abbie's bed - and that's Callie's spot. No wonder she was ghosting around and poking me with her nose. So, I put Dixie on the floor, and Callie hopped up and went right to sleep. I went back to bed. By now it was almost 4. I went to sleep and had weird nightmares. Then, the dogs all woke up at 5:15 and wouldn't go back to sleep. I got up with a headache. Josh slept until about 10:30.

While he was asleep, I worked on sorting through the taiko pictures, and renaming them so that they would be easier to put into galleries in order. (Have to load them each one by one, and they were given to me in complete random order.) After I separated them into songs, I started adding them to the website. I've made decent progress, but need a break. When I finish the gallery, I will add them to facebook, then start over with pictures of our new space. Yikes! A lot of computer work.

My next news was from Josh when he woke up. His parents are leaving this weekend to go to Florida. No one thought that this might affect me, so I wasn't told. So, no babysitter while they are away. Oh, and it gets better. They plan to leave their dog with me.

Their dog.

Then, I found out that even though I paid my UMSL parking ticket and received a statement saying that I have a ZERO BALANCE, they have resurrected an older ticket, and applied late charges. I tried to call them, but they don't care, and apparently have the authority to do this. Can that be legal? Plus, they are applying it to Josh's old student number! He's NOT a student there. Hasn't been for years. Wasn't even driving the car.

And it's pretty likely that I will be driving all over town to get everyone to his/her Monday obligations. I guess it would just be too convenient that the field would be too muddy for T-ball today, since I have a horrible headache.

Gave Abbie a bath and cleaned the bathrooms, and I ran the dishwasher. I tried to pick up a little around here, but it's still terrible.

And today is so nice, too. Except that I'm wearing 2 shirts, long pants and thick socks but am still cold. Tomorrow, I think, is going to be pretty near perfect.

I hope it gets here fast. I am not a fan of the way my today is going.
