Okay, last night wasn't good. I was awake until well past two a.m., lying in bed, coughing up a lung and a rib and whatever I ate for supper. I drank half a bottle of cough syrup, which managed to make my teeth ache, but didn't stop my cough. I'd have gotten out the codeine stuff, but by that late at night I'd have woken up loopy. Of course I practically woke up loopy anyway. I do NOT feel well on that low of sleep. Anyway. Got up this morning and took Kaylee to school, then headed to ship off some SMA stuff at Fed Ex, then headed to KMart to pick up ballet shoes for Kaylee. Of course KMart didn't HAVE ballet shoes. So I had to drive all the way across town to Target, where they had some hard-soled ballet shoes, which I got. Came home and crashed for a bit, then got up and headed to Applebees with "the guys". Left there and ran a few more errands (post office, etc.). When I picked up Kaylee, we studied her Awanas verses for Friday, and messed around until 4 pm, when she had the WORST time picking out which ballet outfit to wear. Finally she chose a lovely ensemble of the palest ice blue with a delicate butterfly on the front and a delightful ribbon on her upper back. White tights and her brand new pale pink ballet shoes with little diamonds on them completed the look, along with hair pulled back into a ponytail. She looked lovely. And she had a blast! She did her tap, her ballet, etc. for an hour, and she did VERY well. And okay, she was cute.

I actually cooked tonight. That's noteworthy. Garlic shrimp on linguini pasta. It was actually pretty good.

Going to clean up a few things, get some work done, try to relax...
