Good Grief

I would love to be telling you about all the emotional and spiritual growth that has happened in my brain recently, but I can't because there is no time and when there is time I am too tired to stop my sentences from running on and taking over the world.

I would also love to finish the really, really, really long post that is only about 1/3 of the way written about Mia, how she came into my life, and her recent adventures.  See above excuse.

I have approximately 11 minutes before my brain turns into a pumpkin, so here's the highlights...

1.  Mia is still healing wonderfully.  So wonderfully, that she thinks she's all better and should be allowed to wander unsupervised all over the house in search of cats and garbage cans.  These are magical Inside Things that she has never before had the pleasure of experiencing.

2.  My car is STILL in the shop, although the guy swears it will be ready tomorrow.  Or the next day.  It has been nearly a month (honestly, I don't even remember when we started this adventure), and I blame the car (not the guy) for the on-going troubles.  She's one ornery little automobile.

3.  We had a rental car for a while, but it wasn't worth the $12/day insurance we were paying to make sure we weren't blamed for the mud, dog scratches, etc.  I don't think I'd buy a Sebring.  It had get-up-and-go, but I don't think the designers had ever had to drive a car.  The blind spots were enormous.

4.  Mikey had to report to the Murrieta courthouse for jury duty last week and narrowly missed being placed on a murder/child abuse case.  FYI - living off two not-quite-1/2 incomes, having a sick dog at home, and ridiculously large vet bills is enough to get the judge to excuse you for financial hardship.

5.  I have a cough that I can feel in my lungs, and I'm not at all surprised.  After the insane couple of weeks I'm surprised I didn't get sick earlier.  Let's just hope it passes quickly.

6.  Mikey's business has been taking off like wildfire this month.  I'm insanely proud of him.  Go to Hamumu.com and check out his games.  They are very good.

That's not all, but my brain turned into a pumpkin 3 minutes ago.  Time for bed.  'Nighty-night.
