Last night Johnny asked to go outside at around 4 in the morning. He does that pretty rarely now, rather than every night, and has gotten much better about only going out when he really needs to, so I really try to work with him. So anyway, we went outside and I heard loud talking or shouting coming the apartment complex that is kittycorner behind ( Read more... )

Wow, I am so v.v. behind. Sarah was here for a wonderful five days, and then I had a very busy week after she left ( Read more... )

Yesterday was too many freaks, not enough circuses, but it was also reasonably productive and I did survive it, so that's something. There was a pretty bad train wreck of a miscommunication, and the only good thing about it was that it was in no way my fault and I managed to do some pretty fast two-stepping and fix it, I think, although I won't ( Read more... )

Johnny has been doing something really weird all week that I'm trying to figure out. When I get home to take him for his evening walk, he's only going to the grass, and then he wants to come straght back inside. About an hour later, he's ready for his full walk, but not before. On Monday, I understood that; he'd been to the groomer, and that always ( Read more... )

The ETS went really well this morning, and then people came by to get registration forms after church. Not as many as I'd hoped, but not as few as I feared, either. After I did my little speech I sat back down to look at the forms they gave me, I realized that the information like date, time, place and registration address were all on the nice form ( Read more... )

Spring break is over and everybody and their cousin is out on the roads today. Also, they have all apparently forgotten how to drive in that week off. Joyful. I also heard that apparently UT is off this coming week, so all the Longhorns will be back in town too, clogging my streets. This week I'm in court every day except Thursday, so I'll be outon ( Read more... )

Yesterday was a fittingly crazy end to a crazy week. Phone ringing off the hook, walk-ins, appointment, and on and on. One of my clients called and let me know she had something to drop off for me that I've been waiting all week for, but she was coming in from out of town and wouldn't be able to get in until after 5. After 5! On a Friday! I ask you ( Read more... )

First of all: I HATE PEOPLE ( Read more... )

So Sarah and I were laughing the other night about the running-through-the-streets "OH GOD IT'S GOING TO BE COLD" panic engendered by the mere possibility of freezing rain. Then it actually happened, and it was actually not so good. My car was literally a solid sheet of ice from bumper to bumper Wednesday morning, maybe a quarter inch thick. This ( Read more... )

For a day when I was apparently at one of the only open offices in town (grr), I got a surprising amount done. Except of course for the things that required actually talking to people, because heaven forbid someone not a government or education employee be at work and answering their phones today. Left a lot of messages. These people will all ( Read more... )
