Looks like we may be needing a new alternator for the car in the very near future. Why does so much seem to ALWAYS happen on a Monday. Guess it's another reason to not like the day. But anyway.

Depression is attempting to take over again. I can only do so well for so long before I just feel like giving in and laying on the ground and crying. Not that I have ever done that, that's just something I came up with. Can't seem to get myself pulled out of the rut I am deeply entrenched in. The DVD's I have purchased recently won't go to waste, I will watch them. It just seems silly (for lack of a better word) to force myself to watch a movie I am not in the mood to watch. I realize there are people that can watch anything, any time and anywhere. But not me. I have to be in the right frame of mind to watch a movie, otherwise I won't enjoy it and I've wasted time that could have been spent on something else.

One cat gets over a virus and another gets it. Hope the others dont get it. I don't feel like making a daily trip to the vets office. The good thing is that the lastest sicky is getting better.

Thursday is my birthday and will be going out to eat someplace nice. Hope the day is pleasant.

Ran a couple errands yesterday and had a little fun.

Got my drivers license in the mail yesterday. Thought I would have the temp license longer then I did.

Havent done anything exciting, not that I ever do anything exciting, lately.

Got my drivers license renewed. They have a whole new setup now. I have a paper temporary license, will get my laminated one in the mail within sixty days. Man, I really dont take a good drivers license photo. This one makes me look like I've been arrested. My previous photo made me look like I was doped up on something. Guess a lot of people are not satisfied by their photos.

Got some rain this morning. Last night the light show started, but it didnt actually start raining until like 4:30 am or so. Total was about an inch for the three hours it rained.

Finally got to the household waste dispoal place this morning and took care of some things we have needed to get rid of for sometime.

Will get out and do some yardwork this afternoon. Dont really feel like it but have to do it anyway.

I am home from jury duty. Filled out a twenty page survey. The reason I had to go on a Thursday, is the case is special one. Typically, they have people come in on a Monday for most of the cases, but this is different. I have to go back in in October and go through step two of the process. And if I get picked, the case could last as long as a month. So we will see.

Got about a half inch of rain this morning, before it cleared up.

I have jury duty tomorrow. Will try and get my drivers license renewed next week.

Sunny day number...heck I lost count.

Sergei is doing better, His ear is healing nicely.

Been playing Swingerz Golf on my Gamecube lately. It's a fun game and I say that knowing I dont really care to watch golf on tv...ever.

Got my copy of The Munsters season one last night. It was hard finding it. It's nice to know there are lots of fans of the show out there.

Today is the 3rd anniversary of the World Trade Center, Pentagon and Pennsylvania field. The country has grown complacent again. Suicide and car bombers, snipers, one thing or another take place in this world, people live in fear and terror that this country may never know. I do not know what it will take for people in my homeland to realize that it is going to take more than a bandaid to fix our image overseas, it will take more then a few kind words or actions to smooth things over and make things right with other countries. While people come to the USA for the type of freedom they can only dream of where they live, there are thousands of people that hate us and hate what we stand for.

September 11, 2001.......WE WILL NEVER FORGET.

The total for the rain we got Sunday is 3/4 of an inch. Still a bit tired from the weekend, not that I did a whole lot.

Have jury duty next week. Have mixed feelings about it. I have served on a jury twice out of the four previous times I've gotten a summons. It would be good to get out of the house and out of the rut I seem stuck in.

Went to the ren. fest yesterday. We got a free ticket because we took some food for Harvesters. It was alright, it was a little too humid to be doing that much walking and there didn't seem to be much in terms of shows and such.

Have to take care of renewing my drivers license before the end of the month. Will have to shoe horn it in someplace.

Will call this week about the start date of my jury duty. The summons says I am to be there on a Thursday. Unless it's an error or something new, jury duty usually started on a Monday.

It rained briefly this evening, but it was a heavy rain. Some idiot neighbors who had a live band playing badly got rained on. These losers spent much of the afternoon and evening playing the same few songs over and over, never shutting up no matter how many times hey were asked to do so. It seems fitting that they got rained on. Hope some of their equipment got ruined before they could get it inside.

Labor day weekend, the unofficial end to summer. I can imagine people around the country having a cook-out, a party or something fun to do this weekend. We have a couple things fun planned but that's about it.
