Busy bee

Wow, it does not rain but it pours!

I have been pulling 15-hour and 16-hour days, with classes at the university (in search of my long-lost degree) and work and the various other stuff that life throws at me. Luckily the husband is out of town or he would never even know he had a wife. I think I did a pretty good job of putting up a fence in the backyard so the dogs could stay out for 15 hours without running off, in spite of the fact that it uses cable-wire spools and a long stick as structural components. (The dogs have not run off yet; thus, it is a success.) My stepfather is in the hospital. I'd like to drive down to Anchorage to offer moral support, but I don't think the Suburban could survive the trip (though it's been doing OK around town, albeit with interesting noises as it runs around its 30-40 round trip per day).

I also need to come up with a better way of feeding myself during a 16-hour day than making sandwiches, because I get really sick of said sandwiches and then I'm hungry, and end up eating weird stuff that isn't good for me. But I can't afford to eat out. Hm. What to do.

Today (Saturday) a friend's daughter is having her birthday and invited me to her party. She's 11 years old. Ye gods, when I was 11, Knight Rider was on network TV. I feel old.

After that, I'll head home to work on Kismet pages (maybe I can actually get myself together in time to update in June! Maybe!) and do my homework for class.

I guess I also need to get my garden in, or else there won't be a garden this year.

I'm glad it's a 3-day weekend.

guilty but quick meal my mom taught me: boil rice till soft, then mix in butter or margarine and sugar. cinnammon works on this pretty good.

That sounds tasty! I think I'll try it.
