oh and i killed two spiders. all on my own. they were in a place where my feet hang out so they had to die. one of them scared me so i had to yell out "you will die!" as i killed it. it gave me courage.

oh my goodness what a day.
i woke up late, since i slept with the aid of the seroquel. h and i had to leave around noon for our her appointment in the diabetes clinic at children's mercy. before that, and also on the way, we talked to the insurance company and then the people who make her insulin pump. finally, i'm pretty sure we are one phone call and several days away from having the pump that not only delivers the insulin, but checks her blood sugar automatically every 5 minutes. !!! for real. we have fantasized about this pump since we heard it was in the works. the hold up? insrance, of course. but now they agree H needs one and as soon as they tell that to the pump company, it's on the way. we all have high hopes, but the reality is that like most things, it will probably be a lot better than the previous way, but still not as great as imagined.

after we left the building (about 3 hours after we got there), we tried to follow google maps to aunt megan's. of course it took us a dorky way and we got lost. i was cranky. after a call to megan, we pulled right up front. her house is so cute. we had a hard time picking a place to eat, as usual, but h and i had missed lunch so we were starved. when i suggested arbys, hannah said she hadn't ever eaten there. ??? megan and i were both assuring her she had eaten at arby's. i started naming specific occasions and what she liked there. "oh, i was thinking applebees." she realized. funny funny girl. while we ate (there), megan asked how her first trip to arby's was. i'm sure this is only funny to the three of us girls. but you know, at least i'll remember it this way.

one long drive home later, and i'm back home with a house full of dogs and stuff. crazy dogs. i hope luna's incision is healing right. and i was pleased daisy hadn't peed on my bed. i'd did chores, dealt with teenage drama, painted some pages with gesso and wished i'd have updated the netflix queue before they sent the latest disc.

It's 5am. I've been up for a while. I woke up from a dream that I stayed up all night the night before h has to testify in court, and I realized it was going to be impossible to stay awake all day.

And then I reAlized I was up because my stomach hurt. A lot. Dang. What a drag. I thought I was getting over it.

The dogs are confused. They're wondering if it's time to get up. Because it's not but I am. We are.

Darren Stevens really annoys me. He is cranky and bossy a d stupid and mean. I wish Sam would just turn him into a toad and leave him there. She and Tabitha would be much better without him.

Now Henry is in the other room barking. I have too many dogs.

I'm going to try to go back to sleep now. I hope it works but I have some doubts.

i just had this beautiful moment.
and it was really just a moment. maybe 5.

i ready a fun comment from a grade school friend i haven't seen since the late 70s but love. at the same time barbra streisand started singing 'hurry it's lovely up hear' from on a clear day you can see forever. the house is quiet. the dogs are asleep. there's a breeze from the fan and i don't know. i was just in love with life.

this is a big deal because i have been in a big f that hate relationship with my life right now. nothing too dramatic. many things i hate will eventually change and the rest i will learn to deal with. but being so cranky lately - that was just such a lovely moment i wanted to capture it.

What do you miss most about being a kid?

Having my mom and dad around all the time is number one, for sure.
Also never thinking or worrying about anything. I had a very live in the moment childhood. I just went about my life - playing barbies, sitting in the woods, talking to everyone, going to my grandparent's and looking forward to going camping in Colorado.

i'm watching the top chef masters competition. my bff eben has worked with or for several of these guys. i wish i could remember which ones. i only remember wally dufresne, because he is strange and has a strange name.

i have been super lazy since my cousin angie left. i just can't find my motivation right now. it happens often, really. it's just the ebb and flow of life i think. i was sick so much of may. i started june freaking out about all the things that had fallen behind while i was in bed instead of busy.

then vizzio finally delivered our replacement big beautiful teevee. so i had to spend a lot of time watching it (only to make sure it worked, of course). plus my brother gave us his wii, which gave me a reason to buy sim animals, which gave me a reason to sit in front of the big tv playing with video game animals.

and before we even had the new teevee stand bought and set up, my cousin called to ask what i was doing in the near future and if i wanted to hang out. well duh! angie's mom and my mom were best friends as well as sisters, and angie was born 5 months before me. we spent a lot of time together growing up, we even lived together a few times. we were like sisters and i feel bonded to her like no one else. i feel entirely at home whenever i'm with angie. she's my best cousin ever.

so she came to town with her daughter who just graduated from high school and her youngest son who is 13. we hung out downtown, ate a lot of good food, walked around campus some and mostly hung out and talked. i wish i wanted to write down all the details right now, but i don't.


and like i said, i've been lazing it up since they left. it's lazy summer time, even though it's still only june. i'm hoping to wind up the laze by monday and then get at least half busy. i guess we'll see.

+ my cousin angie was here with two thirds of her children. i love my cousin angie more than i know how to express. she's like the best thing. i loved hanging out with her again, and i like her kids very much.

- now they're gone and i don't know when we'll get together again

+ h has been a very good kid lately. i like it.

+ she made me a ring tonight in her jewelery class

- it's been quite hot and humid here

+ daisy looks super cute after being groomed today

- when she came home and henry tried to smell her, she attacked him. i was stupid about protecting hank and got bit probably more than ever. i don't know what to do about that girl. sometimes she just freaks out like a weirdo. at least thats how it seems to me.

- summer is flying by
 
- i'm tired, but i want to start keeping track of my days again. i miss knowing what i was doing in the past.
