The Misadventures of Moi.

Longfellow died. I'm not terribly surprised, but it's still disappointing. We tried so hard to save her! The others seem to be doing fine. Speckles didn't drink this afternoon, but there was nothing really I could do about that since I was in Cedar. I suspect that Ari didn't warm up the bottles like he was supposed to since no one was there to make him do it. Not that I could have made him had I been there.

Speaking of which, mom got home tonight, and evidently was rather pissed off at a messy house. Dishes, apparently. However, Dad washed a humongous load of dishes yesterday. Like... a pile of dishes that would put a small restaurant to shame kind of thing, so it's not nearly as bad as it could have been. She then wondered "why we couldn't encourage Ari to do the dishes." Hello! I did that. Before he left for Cedar. I begged and encouraged and bribed and threatened his life. What Ari doesn't want to do, Ari doesn't do. Period. Not even mom can make him. If she says otherwise, I'd love to see her try. Problem is that even though Ari is slightly better behaved now, he still doesn't give a lick about anyone else enough to do anything.

I do feel sorry for Ari. He has reason to be a basket case. However, I don't think he can keep using it as an excuse. He's got his good spots, but at this point, usefulness doesn't happen to be one of them.

Bugger. I also went to take my drivers' test today. It didn't end up happening. I got to the DMV, had all the papers and what not, but apparently, one of them didn't have a signature on it. From three freaking years ago. So I couldn't take the test. I called the guy whose signature I was supposed to have, and he told me I can't take the test through the DMV, and I have to contact the other instructor to take the test and get the signature from him. WTF?!

Anyway. A bad day, to say the least.

More to come.
