Inbox Cleanout Project of Doom!
Only 25 unread emails in my inbox! This is down from 70+ earlier this week. And only 757 emails that still need to be Archived. I only figured out what this Gmail feature was for about six months ago, and it's been a struggling progression in between other things since then.
I've been suffering from a serious case of blahs lately and so, here I am poking at my email, which is pretty funny, because it's what I used to do when I worked for a living and couldn't concentrate on anything. The blahs have been a little disconcerting, as I don't remember ever having them for more than a day. The blahs are when I don't want to do anything, even playing video games, and reading doesn't sound very interesting either. Being a rather intense individual, this is a very weird experience.
It looks like Nakayoshi will be abstaining from Kindergarten later this year, which was a very emotional decision for me (there is no way to not blame yourself as a mother), but after:
Wow, writing all of that out . . . maybe it makes sense that I'm worn out, even though I did all of that last week. This week, I just showed up way too early (wow, getting somewhere is sooooo much faster with out my two travel buddies) to sign up for the Pre-K (spots go fast, but not 7am in the morning fast, apparently *laugh*).
I just finished the biography of Jim Wight (a.k.a. James Herriot). The book was good and I recommend it. Before his literary career took off, Jim Wight found that twenty years in the veterinary practice had left him with very little in the bank. Since I've been working on the finances for about a week now (you know in between important things like chauffeuring, cooking and argument mediation), I'm starting to understand how he must have felt.

- receiving the evalution results (that weren't a surprise, but still wrenching),
- going over all of the horrible things that could happen if he did go this year, and the other horrible things if he didn't go (no focus on the positive in my life ^_-), and
- chatting with his teacher, the director of his preschool and the assistant principal of the Elementary school he would be going to,
- as well as chatting with Vraknan,
- unloading on my mom (Thanks for listening!!),
- and praying,
