August and Helium

HEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL :D

Temp is 58. Very cloudy, but not raining. THey told us it would clear up by afteroon, but it's nearly 4:30 and no sun-love.

We have a ball game we have to leave for in 45 minutes.

I called my grandmother just a short while ago. I've not spoken to her during all this because I kept getting information from others and so didn't call. Poor thing, she just burst right into tears when I identified myself. *sigh* Of course, I got all teared up, too. She says he's not well, which is true, but Travis says he's doing better, and really, he is, she's just SO very scared and worried. Poor thing! My stepmother is going down to stay with her a few days, and my mother is calling and sending flowers, too.

I am eating well today, which is a good thing, and enednoviel has been teasing me with art-in-progress.

I wrote a smidge on two different zine fics. Yes, folks, I have a Con*strict zine fic in process. It will likely be dumb and I'm being a little over-the-top with it, but I'm having fun. I'm only a page in, but we'll see how it goes. I couldn't stand the fact that some of my dearest friends and authors would be in the zine and I wouldn't be. Yes, coattails. Ha.

Jayne had a quick orthodontic checkup this afternoon. Next trip will be the day before her birthday unless I see certain teeth erupting sooner than that.

Am still reading In the Absence of Angels. I'm slow, I know. And I've been reading DLDV3, and just read the horror story. It was horrific, yes, but I don't think it will give me nightmares. *shrug*

My back aches and I would rather stay home than go to this ball game, but it is the *last* ball game until summer ball rolls around.

Work is busy busy busy and gahhhh....I am looking forward to taking time off next month. If I can last that long...

And there are some people who are just Debbie Downers. I think I'll put her back on my killfile for the list.

I'm always the runner-up, lol.



And congrats to ancastar for winning two first place finishes.

We won the ball game. We shivered. The boys were ON FIRE...for their last game. Go figure. Karl struck out once and got one single.

My copy of Jerry Springer: The Opera arrived today. I think I'm too tired to watch tonight. Plus it's two hours and it's after nine already. Maybe we'll watch this weekend after the kids are in bed.
