Today, in my way to work I found a dead bat. I think the heat killed him. (Imagine crawling into a dark space to escape the light of day and sufficating in the daytime heat…) He barely fit into the palm of my hand.
I spent some time today finishing clearing up the crap The Child left. It looks like a proper room now, not like some hurricane touched down in it. I’m a little peeved still that she left so much and just expected us to deal with it. She really does not give a shit about her stuff. There’s clothes, some of which she only wore once or twice, art supplies, things she was given over the holidays… I can see why the rest of her family only gives her gift certificates. *sigh* I will not allow myself to be infuriated by her attitude and behaviour. I don’t have to deal with it anymore.
Anyway. That room is now a storage/craft room. I’ve always liked the way the sun came in that window and so I’ve decided that’s where I will do my photo albums. I cleared out the last of the crap today and the table is set up in there so that I can spread all the photos out to my heart’s content - and get this - I can close the door so the cats don’t sit on it all. Not that I would really do that, since the Kitten has taken a liking to the futon, now that it’s set up as a couch.
In other news, I have decided to go back to school. I’m playing the waiting game right now, one one hand for a registratin package and on another, for consent and/or letters from potential academic referees. I was originally only going to apply at UWO (University of Western Ontario) but J has convinced me that I should probably hedge my bets a little, so I’m applying for other schools as well. Wish me luck!
