Heh. I'm still at my computer, but I'm ready to go do the flexball thing. I feel a little dazed. Hopefully Fishbone won't "attack" me when I go upstairs again. She was out for about an hour earlier, so she shouldn't be feeling too hyper... I hope. I'll let her out again before I get into bed. I wonder how the tutoring session will go with Yuhi. Should I go to the Teacher's Helper store again and look for materials to meet his needs? Nah, I should wait until I'm sure he's going to be regular student.

I'm flat out of cash right now. Not even a cent! I used all the money in my wallet yesterday at the a capella concert and the dinner before that. The dinner cost more than I thought it would and I gave 2 bucks to the homeless man at a signal on Van Ness because he looked like he was cold. Unfortunately, that left me with only $14, which is $1 less than how much the show was going to cost me. Oops. I thought I was going to have to borrow a buck from Kathy or Patty, but (hey, I'm a lucky person), we got in for free. The producer of the show, John Neal, let us in. He took pity on the 4 of us standing outside the entrance to the theater looking at everyone going in with puppy dog eyes. The show was sold out when we got there, so we were trying/hoping to find people who wanted to scalp their tickets and also for no shows. Anyway, Mr.Neal took pity on us and said he'd make sure we got seats. VIP seats in fact! That's what our ticket said. We had to move out of those seats soon though because the people who had tickets for those seats showed up 40 min late due to the weather (raining). I was happy with most of the performance despite having to stand almost the whole 3.5 hours. I'm not too thrilled with the 2 CDs I got after the show. The show was much better.

Better go before it's too late...

It's a sunny day and I feel good. I got up at 9:30am, which isn't all that common. I didn't plan on really waking up at the time. I made coffee and ate 2 peices of tortilla while working on the crossword puzzle. Yesterday I got close to finishing it, but today's is harder for me. I even used a dictionary for the words I didn't know and still couldn't finish it.

Fishbone's calmer today. I think I 'm just not paying enough attention to her during the day. That's bad. I feel guilty about that. Poor Fishbone. I tried to make up for it last night and this morning by pettying her for a long time and letting her have the run of my room. She's into digging up the carpet these days. I ran and took pictures of the narcissuses outside while she was out too. I'm glad I got them. They're in full bloom and look magnificent--will I paint them soon? I keep thinking I want to paint, I should paint, then end up doing something else. Why is that? Is if just procrastination or is there another reason? I guess I still feel like I don't have enough energy to sit down and lose myself in the painting. And I keep getting distracted by stuff I want to do on the computer, gardening (not a bad thing), TV (Jeopardy), Fishbone, etc... I need more discipline!! The Iceland poppies are starting to bloom and the tulips I planted 2 winters ago seem like they'll bloom this year (yay). I can't wait until the morning glories, lavendar, and sunflower come up :) This year's spring should be very coloful, if all goes according to plan.

I put out a new suet feeder for the finches today. I hope they'll get to eat the majority of it before the black squirrel does. There was a white crowned sparrow hididng(?) amongst the naked ladies (amaryllis) under the peach tree. It's sooo cute! I haven't seen any golden crowned sparrows in the backyard yet this year. No scrub jays either, which is odd.

Brian is frustrated about work and he keeps saying, "humph, hmmm." Then Pepper comes along. "Pepper booger, come here poopoo head." "Boink, boink, boing, boing, boing. Hey you little pepper pooper, I got his tail, boing, boing, boing." "I need to pee, you gonna wait?" "Pepper! Aiyee." I think Pepper is growing on him :)
