Not a good week.

Between the Mr working weird hours (sometimes 2nd, sometimes 3rd, sometimes half of one and half of another), my not sleeping well (it happens), my CRAZY busy schedule, a water line busting in the alley directly behind my house, a sick elderly dog, trying to get my kitchen reorganized and cleaned, and getting Halloween put away, not even mentioning this dreary freezing weather.........I just want to stop everything and play computer games all day!!!

But I can't.

And I won't.

I'm finishing up the kitchen now and let the day go from there.

I'm miserable with worry about my elderly dog. We have a vet appointment so hopefully that will make me feel better...but to be honest I'm ALSO worried the vet will order all kinds of tests I can't afford right now and I feel like my dog probably doesn't NEED too many tests....he's nearing 13 years-old....he might just be winding down. Then I start to think he might be on his way out and then I start freaking out because I have had this dog as a member of my family since before half my children! What will I do without him!!

So here's to hoping it's just an easy fix, which would be all that more awesome if it was cheap, too.

I'm trying hard, here, but today just isn't a good one.

I'm trying to pick a new book to read. My official book is too difficult when my mind is running too fast (another thing I'm bringing up with the doctor ~ this frantic thought pattern usually precedes a bout of depression) so I finished my entire "Little House" series. I've got a LOT of choices I just don't want to choose. My stepson brought me a Lisa Scottoline from who knows where. The last Scottoline I read I did not enjoy....but then again I severely disliked the "Twilight" series but I adored "The Host" by the same author, so I'm willing to give it a shot. My only issue is it looks suspiciously like the other book I already read and disliked enough to give it away....it's called "Devil's Corner." I remember quite a lot of the book I read before but not the name so I should know pretty quickly if it's the same book. However it's here and it's out so I might as well start reading it.

After I finish the kitchen, of course.
