Actually, ALF, yes, I am.
Today, though, it is a jittery sort of aliveness that comes from trying to write before the meeting---going to the meeting and being cornered by a county commissioner and then by a member of the school board who makes me swear everything is Off The Record---trying to write after the meeting---going to another meeting, but getting lost because when they said, "It's at the corner of 4 and HGTrueman," they meant one of the OTHER corners of 4 and HGTrueman, so it took me 45 minutes to find them---running errands all over town---coming home to a dog who smells you and a bunch of family members who want to talk and the house is messy but Hubby bought frozen pizza so no one will starve.
And maybe I had too much diet Coke today, too.
Things are hoppin', at casa de Wasteoftime. Hubby got laid off, and today was his last day, but his employer is trying to find him another job, so he has an interview tomorrow.
The Sons are doing Sonly things, which occasionally include washing the dishes or throwing in a load of laundry, but also include tossing DVD cases on the floor and trashing the kitchen while I sleep. Ya never know, really, which way it's going to go, but I am honored to be their mom and thrilled to see them on a daily basis.
The Dog Lady's dogs seem to love me. I am learning to love OUR dog, too. Paying it forward, so to speak. And the Dog Lady and I have become fast friends, which is great.
I have about 17 things I would love to do today, but by the same token it is nearly 8:30 and the smart thing to do would be to just have a slice of that formerly frozen pizza and relax a bit. Read my book. Chat on FB.
All is well, all will be well, the chaos is minimal and I have an adorable stuffed walrus on my desk.
How's by you?

It sounds a week of mixed blessings - but good for you for remaining positive. I wish I found it so easy! ;-)
Oh good. I am glad you're still alive. I'm also glad about the stuffed walrus.
Hey girl, so sorry to hear about Hubby getting laid off. That sucks---big time.
Rol- As Ginger Rogers used to say, we do everything you do, but backwards, in high heels.
ALF-Yes, the walrus is a major plus.
Andrea-He's still hanging on, as they keep giving him extensions, while they wait for this other office to decide if they want him or not. But, geez, I am tired of limbo!
