We are currently sitting around watching television like total slugs, having skipped the performance we could be at right this very minute. And we're also skipping the one after that. Ssshhhh, don't tell. It's starting to feel like we're in a cult -- total lack of sleep coupled with doing the same thing over and over and over again.

Still to come:

Then I think something else happens, like, oh, that's right, Easter. That holiday for which we have no shoes or clothing or Easter-basket-stuff.

Yes, We're Still Here

Most of the Girl Scout cookies have been delivered. For the record, the kids sold pretty much every single box themselves -- we don't do the "parents take sales sheet to work and post it" thing. The kids went door to door to door. The only exceptions were the person who cuts MrV's hair (2 boxes) and a couple of people at church who had the form passed to them (8 boxes).

So we've been schlepping these cookies door to door to door. I think we have less than 10 houses to go now.

Right now I'm passing the time until the vet's office opens. The cat is sick. She didn't eat yesterday, which was worrisome, but, okay, sometimes cats do that. By 6am today, though, she seemed very, very weak. I'm mostly trying to distract myself for another 45 minutes or so until the vet's office opens; every so often I go look to see if she's still breathing.

Okay, I just checked, and she's still alive. So, I cried a little, and tried to think of something else I can do to pass the time.

Gotta go.
